this full blown lotr obsession I have going on is not even funny anymore I’m not reading anything else, apart from self help mental health books and some other articles here and there, when usually I can read two to three books of wildly different genres at the same time. Like what now do I indulge myself and go straight for the other books or do I break myself out of it so I don’t go insane by the end of it realising I actually cannot live there 24/7

Nothings “wrong” just nothing feels real and I don’t feel like I’m existing.

Genuinely one of the worst things about being raised by an abusive parent is that whatever anyone on the outside knows about is the tip of the iceberg. Even if they know, they don't know. They didn't live it. And whatever your parent did/does is like 100x worse than what they know about. Because even if you try to relay your experiences, there is still an ocean worth of shit that's slipped though the cracks and you can't even coherently remember it all to tell them. Even when you can remember, it's hard to put into words everything that's been done to you. It's an insanely isolating thing to go through. It's like you're the only one who's ever truly going to know what it's like to be you, even if other people relate and sympathize. Even moreso if you don't have any siblings who shared your childhood. It's just. Shit.

Your brother's been through enough. There's not a chance in hell I'm letting Amy lose her dad, too. You agree? Sure. But what's that mean for me? I'm just supposed to go down by myself?

I was thinking about why it’s only yelena, bob, and john who get shame rooms shown to us and i realized those are the only three that have suicidal ideation scene. Bob is adamant about being left behind because he makes things worse and not really caring about if he dies. Yelena has the opening tower scene where it looks like she jumped. Directly after John goes into his bob induced shame room he stares down the, very tall, elevator shaft.

At least for yelena and john, their shame rooms show the moment they truly lost everything. Yelena lost her family and Anna’s death is where she looses her innocence. John lost his title and that moment with his family is where he loses them too.

Bobs worse shameroom, the one with the void, is where he loses the last of his hope. No drugs, no power, no family, no hero’s. He died there.

i love bob so much

Never thought I’d say this but I do miss London, maybe it was just that I had grew attached to what I knew and what’s familiar, places to shop and eat and wander, but sometimes I hear a song that I once had on while I walk down those streets, and it got to me. And to think that maybe I won’t ever live there again, or be there as the same person makes me feel terrible.

'being single sucks because youll be lonely' lame and untrue. 'being single sucks because a lot of groceries are portioned to make food for more than one person and you cant really take advantage of buying in bulk because it'll go bad before you use it all' this i cannot deny.

I think one of the greatest solaces lord of the rings has brought me is that, there will be times in our lives where we come upon a place that is precious and fair, where we could be content and desire to rest or at least dwell for a little longer, but be it for our own quest or things beyond our control, we’d have to go on.

But it is as Frodo said to Gandalf before he set off: ‘I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again.’ Or as Haldir put it when Merry confesses that had he known how the world is outside of it, he perhaps wouldn’t have the heart to leave it. ‘Not even to see fair Lothlórien?' said Haldir. 'The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.

Whether it’s the Shire for the hobbits, the golden woods of Lothlórien where no darkness could linger, or the caverns of Helm’s Deep and Fangorn, which Gimli and Legolas made a promise to revisit if they survive battle and war, their beauty, comfort, and enthralling mystery will stay with us and protect us from despair, though perhaps we’d have to travel long and hard to come back to them, if we make it back at all. But we should be hopeful about seeing them again, and coming to a well-deserved rest.

And before that we must leave it behind, however difficult the parting is, and finish the journey we have started.

mel king and the ship with langdon is an odd phenomena to watch unfold as an autistic woman because it's like watching manic pixie dream girl in real time. not with how langdon treats her but how the audience responds to their professional relationship. the audience is serving as the one mischaracterizing unmasked behavior of an autistic woman. the audience is the one assuming those kinds of bonds and reactions must fit into some kind of romantic box, the same way men sexualize autistic women who are friendly and animated.

and it's hard to talk about because there is the other side of it where people are infantilizing her and having opposite knee jerk reactions to the idea of shipping her because god forbid an autistic adult is a sexual and romantic being. but i do think the shippers are weird in their own way about it, putting her in a box and some even just using her as a tool to project onto the way they always do when there's a slightly attractive male they want to thirst over next to a "quirky" female character. it's like watching the whole shit with darcy in the mcu all over again where fics and headcanons are just using her as a self-insert for sexual desires.

the thing is i don't even dislike the idea of the ship but i feel people do the depth of what is going on an injustice when they just froth at the mouth for an infidelity ship to grasp onto. i'm not sure how i feel about the idea that the one person who actually takes time to get to know an autistic woman who is being overlooked in the workforce and mentor her in a way that meets her needs is someone she must automatically be shipped with. like the only option is being ignored or being shipped with a man who is doing the bare minimum?? overlooks the very real reality that autistic adults are very neglected in the workplace, they're loved when they're hyper focused and thus perform well (season 1) and treated as a burden/needs are downplayed when they're struggling.
