Hey guys remember this? What a time to be alive. Except we had brainrot so bad?

[catchaspark]

According to Know Your Meme, on August 18th, 2005, Erwin Beekveld brought forth this work into the world. HAPPY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, THEY’RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD.

[timefortigers]

sheds a single tear

[catchaspark]

every august 18th my notifications break and i go, fuck, tumblr has failed me once again, but it hasn’t. it hasn’t failed me. it’s just the taking the hobbits to isengard-iversary. happy 12 years

[puddeneen]

#i hope we all celebrated this international feast day accordingly

[ms-demeanor]

I regret to inform everyone that @catchaspark’s reblog was made in 2017 and that Taking the Hobbits to Isengard was actually published 17 years ago, not 12 years ago.

[gentil-minou]

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

[cookie-sheet-toboggan]

It's also important to know, this feeling of isolation is what the author feels but ten fold. It's the exact reason writers are begging for comments. It's to talk about the story with someone. That story that's taken up your life for a few hours, or perhaps days, has taken up the author's life for weeks, months, and - very often - years. There's a very good chance these authors are dying to talk to you.

[brainwormcity]

I have been writing The Boundless Echoes of Liminal Skies for 6 months now and I am constantly dying to talk to someone about it. There are times when I'm legitimately in tears when a good nuanced comment comes through.

[millenniallust4death]

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

[millenniallust4death]

Thank-you to all of my new Internet stranger friends for being so gracious about having my post shoved onto your dashboards. I loved reading all of your kind tags and comments! Both Martin and Bosco have been gone for several years now but for 24 hours, they felt very present in my life. I greatly appreciate this gift. ❤️

[xn3city]

Reblog to have your dashboard be visited by the spirit of joy that death can end but not erase.

[millenniallust4death]

Thank you to everyone who commented in their tags or messaged me. Indeed, today is “Martin and Bosco Day”. I originally whimsically blazed this photo on 13 July 2022. I never expected Martin and Bosco to travel so far and make so many new friends. The experience has been such a gift for me.

Neil Gaiman is not coming back…

[Disclaimer: These are personal musings. They are not based on any evidence — and definitely coming from a person who has already made somewhat of a judgement on the Gaiman’s situation. I’m disclaiming 1) my obvious bias, I believe survivors un-fucking-flinchingly. 2) my lack of expertise/info on the subject of PR management. Ignore them as rambling’s of an old, jaded person if you must. Old man yells at cloud kind of thing. I’m just writing to put my feelings somewhere. Don’t hold them to any higher standard than that]

We need to stop waiting for his response. It’s not coming anytime soon.

He’s going to vanish from public memory until it’s been long enough for these allegations to be forgotten. Long enough to be missed, even. People will start to wonder “whatever happened to the guy?”

Then suddenly,

closer to the release dates of some of the productions he’s involved in, he will appear from the fog.

Maybe he takes the chance to stage a public spectacle like another famous person recently did?

His fans, especially the ones parasocially attached to him, will latch on to his engagement after the long “disappearance.” He will issue some mixture of justification/apology/self-flagellation/self-victimisation which will convince no one expect those who were already eager to forgive, forget and move on. Will he deflect blame on his autism diagnosis again? I wonder…

There will be no real accountability.

I dearly hope I’m wrong.
