Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy both Nesta and Rhysand without having to dodge the people who hate them?

AU where Toph's parents didn't suck and instead every time the Gaang faced difficulty in the Earth Kingdom the Beifong parents get offended in Dramatic Rich People and try to sue whoever's being an asshole to them
Only ships can drag me back to this website is2g. But hearing that Stucky shippers and Blackbonnet shippers are at war is kinda funny. “Your ship is military propaganda” “well your ship involves an IRL slave owner” and all over a meaningless poll
Never change tumblr.
idc about the teen wolf movie. we can fix this guys. sterek doesn't need canon.

Beau: Hey, Hey Caleb. Yasha's got this new green bean casserole recipe she wants to try. Can we have some of your green beans?
Caleb, audibly breathing heavily: ah, Beauregard, I'm, uh, a bit busy at the moment. [More heavy breathing]
[A pause]
Beau: IS IT ESSEK?? HEY ESSEK!
Yasha, softer than Beau from present: What if it's not Essek, that would be awkward.
Caleb, still breathing heavily: Ladies, please, now-
Beau: Of course it's Essek, who else could it be?
Yasha: I don't know. Caleb is a handsome guy, maybe...
Beau: Nah, it has to be-
[Essek rises and leans over to the sending stone]
Essek: Caleb and I are currently indisposed, we will message you back later about the green beans.
[A brief cheer is heard before a Silence spell is cast on the stone]
Caleb, reaching for Essek: Now, where were we?
[In Zadash]
Beau: I fuckin' KNEW it!
Yasha: You're so smart, babe.
I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
Does anyone know who these artists are?? They’re brilliant and I’d like to credit them!!
THIS IS HOW TO TAKE A TRASH OPINION COMIC AND MAKE IT BETTER. THANK YOU.
The best genre to ever have existed
These improved my day

The “guys I respect” artist also came out as non-binary, generally got more accepting. It’s growth.

Anyone has a torrent link for season 3? (And before anyone jumps to complain at my about ethics, I bought the first two seasons on Amazon video and plan to buy season 3. I just don’t want to wait).
i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you’re also grieving for yourself a little bit
I went from so hyped for Dylan to be in this Taylor Swift short film to being so depressed when I realized he was acting opposite to Sadie. Idc, that age gap is too much for me. He’s 30. She’s 19. It’s weird.
Plz be siblings and not in love 🙏🏻
Did anyone else finish? If so please message me. So much happened 😭😭😭

characters belong to @cassandraclare thanks 4 the tears <3
One of the ballsiest things Tolkien ever did was write 473k words about some hobbits called frodo, sam, merry, and pippin and then write in the appendices that their names are actually maura, ban, kali, and razal.
This just in: Eowyn and Eomer’s names actually start with the letter “L.” [source for other nerds]
#wait so they have hobbitish names and common names?
No, they have Westron names and English names.
What you’ve got to understand is that everything Tolkien wrote was him pretending to merely translate ancient documents. He was writing as if the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were actually been written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam (or Bilba, Maura, and Ban) and he was just some random contemporary academic translating it all into English for us.
There are many languages in his books, but generally speaking, everything written in English in the books is a translation of the language “Westron.” Therefore any names that come from Westron, he translated. Names coming from other languages, like Sindarin, he left as they were. Why? IDK. Maybe because the stories are from a hobbit perspective and hobbits speak Westron, so he wanted the Westron parts to sound familiar and the other languages/names to remain foreign?
“But Mirkwoodest!” you cry, “The word ‘hobbit’ isn’t an English word! And the names Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin Took, and Meriadoc Brandybuck” all sounds super weird and not like English at all!”
Psych! They are in English! (Or Old English, German, or Norse.) Once again you underestimate what a nerd Tolkien was. Let me break it down:
In Westron, hobbits are actually called “kuduk,” which means “hole-dweller,” so for an English translation, Tolkien called them “hobbits” which is a modernization of the Old English word “holbytla” which comes from “Hol” (hole) and “Bytla”(builder).
“Maura” is a Westron name which means “Wise.” Weirdly enough, “Frodo” is an actual Proto-Germanic name that actual people used to have and it means the same thing.
“Banazîr” is Westron for “half-wise, or simple.” In Proto Germanic, the prefix “Sam” means half, and wise is obviously a word we still use.
“Razanur” means “Traveler” or “Stranger” which is also the meaning of the word “Peregrin(e)” This one is a twofer because “Razar” means “a small red apple” and in English so does “Pippin.”
“Kalimac” apparently is a meaningless name in Westron, but the shortened form “Kali” means “happy,” so Jirt decided his nickname would be “Merry” and chose the really obscure ancient Celtic name “Meriodoc” to match.
Jirt chose to leave “Bilba” almost exactly the same in English, but he changed the ending to an “O” because in Westron names ending in “a” are masculine.
I’m not going to go on and talk about the last names but those all have special meanings too (except Tûk, which is too iconic to change more than the spelling of, apparently).
The Rohirrim were also Westron speakers first and foremost, so their names are also “translations” into Old English and Proto-Germanic words, i.e. “Eowyn” is a combination of “Eoh” (horse) and “Wynn” (joy/bliss).
“Rohirrim/Rohan” are Sindarin words, but in the books, they call themselves the “Éothéod” which is an Old English/Norse combo that means “horse people.” Tolkien tells us in the “Peoples of Middle Earth” that the actual Westron for “Éothéod” is Lohtûr, which means that Eowyn and Eomer’s names, which come from the same root word, must also start with the letter L.
The names of all the elves, dwarves, Dunedain, and men from Gondor are not English translations, since they come from root words other than Westron.
The takeaway from this is that when a guy whose first real job was researching the history and etymology of words of Germanic origin beginning with the letter “W” writes a book, you can expect this kind of tomfoolery.
Notes: Sorry I said “Razal” instead of “Razar” in my original post I’m a fraud.

Tolkien was the most extra son of a bitch my goodness
This is why C.S. Lewis wanted to punch Tolkien in the face sometimes.
In the great hierarchy of nerds, Tolkien remains at the very top.
No one can top Tolkien.
pretend? pretend to translate????
Does translating a language qualify as actual translation when the language being translated is a language created by the translator for the purpose of translating it?
Or should I just have had a second cup of tea before writing this comment…?
this changes everything oh my god
do you understand why it trips me out that people can drive 45 minutes and be in aNOTHER COUNTRY? I drive for 45 minutes and im like
a city over
I live in “Italy” and took a day trip to go to “Austria” and “Germany”
Chums, that’s sweet, and all, but Australia just ate Texas for breakfast.
If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you aren’t a city over, you’re just 45 minutes away from the city.
If you drive for 45 minutes in Australia you may not even leave the cattle station.
If you drive for 45 minutes in Canada you may not even leave your driveway.
I can’t drive.
I will use this post to explain tumblr

at long last, this post has returned 😍 #putsomerespeckonafricasname
so i just finished watching the extended editions of the trilogy which is nearly 13 hrs long and this meme is correct somehow. this is the only line legolas speaks to frodo in the entire series. the only other debatable line is a scene in fellowship where legolas is speaking to gimli but frodo just happens to be near them and he’s cut to for a reaction shot. i wouldn’t really count it though since it wasnt directed at him.
someone already posted this but the kicker is at the end of return of the king where frodo sees the fellowship again and calls out to everyone by name except for legolas lmaooo
PLS i swear i saw this in another version of this post but i can’t find it now 😭
if anyone knows who wrote this scenario tag them so they can have credit asldfjslkf
