AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.

[australian-government-deactivat]

i’d never die

[verylargetomato-deactivated2021]

but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day

[deactivated01847192184-deactiva]

imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together

[sadgaywerewolf]

imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal

[airtrafficcontroller]

holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever

[enlistedjess-deactivated2017010]

What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.

[dissypoo]

This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate

[rainyfrogs]

okay but you guys dont realize the potential.

imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.

Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.

Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.

imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.

imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time. 

imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.

imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”

imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.

imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation

imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.

i could go on for hours.

[outlanderalien]

I love this concept because it implies that in this world ageing is celebrated and desired instead of resisted. Imagine beauty standards in this world, grey hair is proudly undyed, every new wrinkle is considered beautiful or elegant.

Imagine the romantic implications as well, that finding your soul mate and being with them, means you effectively agree to become mortal, and therefore agree to die just to be with them.

Imagine someone who has many friends, but struggles to find their soul mate, and gradually watches all of their friends grow old and die happy with their partners.

Imagine two best friends who are the same age, but find their soulmates at different times, so now one likes to pretend they’ve lived longer and are older and wiser while poking fun at their “silly naive” young friend. (e.g. “oh you younguns wouldn’t understand, it was before your time” “we are literally the same age”)

fantasy fiction: *has dragons*

me: 👀

the dragons: *are just giant fire-breathing lizards with no more intelligence than any other animal and are eventually killed by the heroes, who are praised for defeating a great evil*

me, closing the book and throwing it across the room: this sucks. where are the dragon riders you idiot. where's the bond between dragon and human that makes us all yearn for a special connection we can never have. fuck you.

[imthepunchlord]

also also also

what of the intelligent dragons? the one that can speak our tongue and be engaging with us, villain or friend, what of the interactions? what of their culture? what’s the norm? what are oddballs like? what do they believe in? do they have thoughts on what happens after death? do they know the answer? do they view themselves as gods or do they know if there are greater beings out there than them? is there a large universal view on humans? is there a divide on how dragons view humans? are there progressive vs traditionalists dragons? are there any issues seen in humanity that can be seen in them as well? what of their creativity? do they like to make art with their powers? are they invested in what humans can make? are there other forms of art they can get into outside material? do they sing? do they do aerial dynamics? do they have festivals and tournaments? do they... 

I...

I have a lot of questions about intelligent dragons. 

[tanoraqui]

it’s just hard not to think about the fact that in 1915, JRR Tolkien went to war not with but certainly in the same army and many of the same battles as his 3 best school friends, all nicely upper class young men who had never known much loss, and only he and one other came back alive - and a couple decades later, he wrote a book in which 3 nicely upper class young men (and one very excellent gardener) who have never known much loss go to war together, or at least they start out together, and they all come home alive. (Though one cannot bear it, and does not stay.)

[meerius]

What more it wasn’t just losing his friends, he was a commanding officer of a battalion of working class men. All farmers and miners from the same area of Lancashire. He felt affinity for them, but wasn’t allowed to socialize between the ranks due to military protocol and he hated it. 

 "The most improper job of any man … is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.“

I don’t think it was even 6 months later that he contracted trench fever and was sent home. 

His entire command was wiped out in one charge shortly after, the majority of a whole countryside’s youths slaughtered while he survived. Youths who were brave and steadfast, but thought of as lesser than their superior officers while still being the ones carrying the actual battle. Youths who deserved fellowship, respect, and above all to go home and dance with their own Rosie.

“My Sam Gamgee is indeed a reflection of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognised as so far superior to myself”.

TRIES NOT TO CRY

[jenniferrpovey]

There is a reason Frodo, who represents the English gentry, in the end falls and is caught by Samwise, who represents the common man.

But there is a soldier in Lord of the Rings who does not come back, and I don’t mean Boromir.

I mean the being who was a common hobbit, but who became corrupted by darkness and poison, who’s face is described in ways reminiscent of a gas mask.

The soldier who doesn’t come home, who is poisoned by gas and stress and insanity.

Is Gollum.

[kingofcurses]

the ring? could be a country’s hopes, dreams, everything that a soldier fights for

It is something that they bear, something that makes them invisible, to the ordinary people.

[jacknicholson]

[barnesandpunks]

can we talk about Legolas in the back tho

[howlinattheimpala]

I feel like I need to rewatch the entire series just focusing on Legolas.  

[abatchofcumber]

It’s worth it.

[whataboutsargeantcrunch]

The best part of this post is Orlando Bloom literally had no idea what was going on 95% of the time. He said in an interview once that no one ever told him anything and he just stood in the back ground making faces.

[prokopetz]

I like to imagine that this is true of the character as well as his actor; Legolas is a bit of an airhead by elven standards, and he honestly hasn’t the slightest idea what’s going in during most of the scenes he appears in. He’s just cultivated a knack - through centuries of practice - for picking up just enough clues from context to make grand, vaguely apropos pronouncements at appropriate junctures, thus giving the impression that he’s a lot more tuned in than he really is. His internal monologue is something like:

“Oh, hell, they’re looking at me. I should probably say something - okay, how was that? Yeah, they’re all nodding; whew, bit of an arrow dodged there. Back to thinking about kittens…”

Lord of the Rings Alphabet:  Loyalty

“You can trust us to stick with you through thick and thin—to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours—closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends.”

[bitchycode]

[captainamerica-inmiddleearth]

He and Legolas never had a single conversation, the only words ever spoken between them were, “and my bow”.

that one time someone reblogged a gif of the london eye from the sherlock opening and said “i don’t know why but this feels like home” and ended up deleting their blog bc there were so many comments the blockquotes ran off the screen of people calling them stupid and a shitton of spn gifs as always
