one thing that pisses me off greatly is the (schorlaly) misunderstanding of éowyn. i've read too many papers mentionning that éowyn was weak and that tolkien didn't write strong women and?? i'm so confused. éowyn is one of the strongest characters. she killed the witch-king and once she accomplished her goal (to gain valour in battle) she chose a peaceful life because there was no need to fight anymore. this is the opposite to weakness. she chose peace over violence?? weak people are the ones who choose violence over peace

[lesbian-ackcrbond]

i need people who say "this about x or y male character" to know that this post is about éowyn and éowyn only. i know about elrond and i know about aragorn and i know they're both healers (really. i wrote my master's thesis on healing in the lord of the ring and i have a whole chapter about them both) but this isn't about them. and i need people to talk about how éowyn didn't kill the witch-king alone to realise that i know. i am aware of that. i am, however, not talking about merry or any of the rohirrim or sam or frodo. this post is about éowyn, the fact that she went from a suicidal warrior who sought valor and death in combat to a woman who realised that life is worth living and that violence brings nothing but more violence, death and misery, and the fact that this doesn't make her a weak female character, but a very strong one, who reflects tolkien's views on war and peace.

Something I just realized, Odysseus calls Telemachus by his name throughout Act I. Then when he get back to Ithaca, anytime he references Telemachus he calls him a familial title.

“… and hurt my boy”

“You plotted to kill my son”

“Son.”

“Oh my son look how much you’ve grown. Oh my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known.”

“My son I’m finally home!”

Then he calls his son by name while they embrace.

“Telemachus. I’m home.”

I just think it’s interesting. It’s like he’s reminding himself of what his son‘s name is throughout the Trojan War and his journey home.

When he gets back, he’s letting everyone know he’s claiming Telemachus, and reminding the suitors that Telemachus is his son, and he is Telemachus’ father.

Finally, the first time he calls Telemachus by his name, is after the two of them have rekindled their relationship. (I Can’t Help But Wonder is basically the two of them sharing how he views the other.)

...I found the “girl falls into middle earth” fic I wrote when I was 11

[crutchie-morris]

op how does it feel to have been the funniest person alive at age eleven

[jacketslutjayse]

[ID: several screenshotted excerpts from the aforementioned fic:

Indistinct green shapes swirled overhead. The world seemed to be screened from me by a thick haze of fog and confusion. This smelled of craniocerebral trauma,

He had wavy shoulder-length brown hair and large brown eyes. I guess he'd be considered hot if you were into that sort of thing (which I wasn't) and by that sort of thing I mean men.

"You're the most gorgeous girl in the world," Legolas said. "You're a liar and also a creep" I responded and then I slapped him across the face.

I wish Boromir was my dad.

In the end they sent me to live out my days on a small farm in the middle of nowhere. It suited my tastes.

Frodo will forever remain tragic to me. How does it feel to sacrifice everything to save your home, only to return and realise that you also sacrificed your ability to love it? You left parts of yourself in that fire. You outgrew your meadow. You can go home - but you can never truly return.

i like to think i’m secretly in a tv show or book so everytime im on the verge of breaking down some 14 year old on tumblr is going “ohh the blorbo… blorbo having a bad time 2day:(“

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

huh. so i just found out "Torment Nexus" was invented for that one specific meme. i genuinely thought it was from an Orson Scott Welles novel. my ignorance is an unending source of surprise and delight

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

um. Orson Wells. H.G. Scott Welles. H. George Orson Orwell. Philip Bradbury. stop making me keep track of white men names

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

in my defense all of these are separate individuals famous within classic sci-fi circles:

H.G. Wells

George Orwell

(George) Orson Welles

Orson Scott Card

at some point this is not my burden

[paperjoshi]

You're gonna laugh when you learn what the G in H.G. Wells stands for.

Hobbits, to Aragorn, after reading Gandalf’s letter: Why did you not tell us you were his friend!?

Aragorn: I did not know that letter would be here, I thought I would have to get you to trust me without proof. You were right to be suspicious, I daresay my looks are against me.

What he means: I’m tall and dark and intimidating, with a hood and a pipe and a false name, it’s no wonder you were afraid.

What the Hobbits hear: Gandalf told you that the servants of the Enemy were ugly as fuck and I fit the bill.

Pippin: Yeah, they are. but handsome is as handsome does, as we say in the Shire!

Aragorn: … (did they just call me ugly???)

Aragorn: Right. Ok. Well-

Every time someone tells me they hate Shakespeare (which is frequently, bc people who hate Shakespeare r usually very proud of it and they need to tell me immediately when they learn that I'm a Shakespeare actor) I enact a sort of self contained stoic ritual where I remind myself that I do not need to be defending the most read and lauded and hegemonic English writer of all time even though I KNOW that they've only half-read Romeo and Juliet when they were 14 in a lame English class and formed a grudge and never changed their opinion. I have that knowledge and I allow it to wash over me and leave me undisturbed

[ilovewhales]

today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god

[lets-burn-down-the-post-office]

“I’ve been at the devil’s sacrament so long I forgot he wasn’t god” is getting added to the tumblr line book
