DON’T SCROLL PAST THIS

for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, it’s the season where that’s normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of São Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.

Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they can’t breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.

Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they don’t see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:

THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and it’s being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Don’t let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future — if we have one.

PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!

side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like what’s up with Europe… y’all exploited South America for centuries but just because you “aren’t seeing results” you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldn’t stop because you think you aren’t helping lol

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.

Or, in short: the narrator =/ the author.

You know what else is a shame? This nowadays tendency of putting on the author the responsibility of teaching their readers morality.

Authors are allowed to write morally ambiguous characters.

Authors are allowed to write downright despicable characters - and guess what they are even allowed to make despicable characters charismatic and likeble and the protagonists of their stories if they wish - because absolute monsters exist only under the bed.

It is not up to the author to spoonfeed the readers about morality and Yes I know this character did a bad thing and I am going going to show it in the story and make other characters call them out of it and– Bullshit.

The authors should be able to write what they want without having thousands of people jumping and their throats claiming to know them, their ideas and their morality based on what they write.

It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.

scrolling past this is a form a cowardice

book legolas is pretty cool but film legolas reminds me of one of those incredibly beautiful, incredibly stupid long haired pedigree dogs that you sometimes see in grooming parlours having their claws painted purple. like you could just pick him up and look into his eyes and there would be nothing going on behind them. film legolas has the elvish version of elevator music playing in his head at all times and i honestly love it

thorin looks up from his papers, surprised at the lateness of the hour - bilbo usually rouses him from his thoughts before now. he glances round, and spots the reason for such a delay: bilbo is already asleep, curled in his armchair by the fire, a book spread over his lap.

it makes thorin’s heart ache, just a little, to see him like this: soft and open, lulled by the safety and comfort of their rooms. he had worried once - or twice or thrice - that bilbo would never find that comfort in the mountain, that he would ever feel the outsider, the uncertain, the off-balance. that a hobbit surrounded by dwarrow might find friends, but not family. that bilbo might find a place in the depths of erebor, but not a home.

bilbo has always liked to prove him wrong.

slowly, carefully, so as not to make too much of a rustle around a sleeping burglar, thorin gathers his papers, banks the fire, and blows out the candles, save one to lead them through their quarters. he sets it on the little table next to bilbo’s tea cup, eases away bilbo’s book, and gets to his knees before him.

ghivashel, thorin whispers, sitting back on his heels and taking bilbo’s hands in his. amrâlimê. it is time for bed.

bilbo is still for a second longer, but he cannot hide the twitch of the corner of his mouth, not from thorin, who has for so long studied the planes and curves of his face, the lines and the creases of focus and worry and joy. he must have felt thorin dimming the light, have noticed the shift in weight along his knees.

i know you hear me, sweetheart, thorin goes on, switching his khuzdul endearments for shire ones. do you mean to spend the night out here, and leave me alone between our sheets?

bilbo’s smile flickers again, though he does not open his eyes. you’re a terrible flirt, thorin oakenshield, he murmurs. perhaps i am only waiting to hear if you remember my name before i let you lead me away with your debauchery.

thorin grins, and raises himself off his heels to lean in close, to whisper as though telling a secret. bilbo, he says, letting the bare edge of his beard just trail over Bilbo’s ear. will you come to bed with me, bilbo baggins?

bilbo’s eyes glitter in the low light of thorin’s single candle as he opens them, lapis lazuli and mountain larkspur and laughter shining in the dark. he meets thorin’s kiss halfway, warm and soft and promising. if you will lead the way.

honestly? i get that people had problems with the hobbit films but.. they made tolkien’s characters come to life in such heartbreaking ways… like when thorin dies in the book you’re kinda like ‘oh it’s poetic and sad’ but when he dies in the movie it’s such a tragedy. he says himself that he wanted to live to fight another day, and he’s such a good person despite the gold sickness - he deserved to be king, he deserved to not see his family die before his eyes. and richard armitage and martin freeman in that scene.. any hope died a cruel death and you can see it happening in bilbo’s eyes. you don’t have to ship it to mourn for a future that bilbo could’ve had - friends and people that loved and cherished him - and instead thorin got a tomb and bilbo, an empty house.

which members of the company and the fellowship would get on best 👀👀

team Catastrophe: imagine pippin and merry meeting kíli and fíli. they would kill smaug/sauron on accident while playing an elaborate prank on the others.

dream linguistics duo: frodo & bifur, learning how to communicate in like 0.3 hours. frodo knows Khûzdul or sign? bifur can speak some obscure language (which frodo for some reason knows)? nobody knows.

i fell in love with an elf: kili and gimli started this support group.

i fell in love with a dwarf: legolas and bilbo. they also shit-talk thranduil.
