Hate to be that person, but WW3 trend on TikTok is not funny at all, especially your stupid POVs. Because no, Jessica from Chicago, you won’t have to hide in the basement to avoid being nuked and no, Kyle from LA, you won’t get drafted to the front lines. 

You again missed the whole point and managed to make this situation all about yourself, so I’m going to assure your stupid ass - this war is not going to affect you in any way, but you know who it’s going to affect? Actual people from Ukraine, who are going to lose their lives and be displaced from their homes, just like for the past 8 years. 

So congratulations on your stupidity, because it’s not about “I need a way to cope 🥺🥺🥺”, it’s about you celebrating and making fun of other people’s death.

How do you absolutely hate everything you’ve seen from the LotR series especially today but also make it clear to the racists that you are absolutely not with them

Like fuck I want to support this purely bc they’re bitching that the diverse casting is ruining it, but so far the diversity is the only thing here that ISN’T a mistake

Also get these super gendered outfits and workplace acceptable short male hair the fuck away from my androgynous elves

POLITICALLY AMBITIOUS ELVEN LEADER??

ELROND??? POLITICALLY AMBITIOUS???

HE WHO REFUSED THE CROWN OVER THE NOLDOR AFTER GIL-GALAD DIED DESPITE BEING HEIR TO ALL THREE HOUSES OF THE SONS OF FINWË BY BIRTH, ADOPTION, AND LATER MARRIAGE????? SPENT AN AGE AS GIL-GALAD’S SECOND WHILE HIS BROTHER’S LINE WERE KINGS??? WHO RAISED A HOMELY HOUSE INSTEAD OF A CITADEL??? WHO CHOSE THE PATH OF HEALING DESPITE GROWING UP IN A SERIES OF WAR CAMPS??? WISE AS A WIZARD?? KIND AS SUMMER????

This aint Tolkien, dis som second rate CW period drama no one asked for

[caffeineheroes]

Everyone's complaining about Celebrimbor and Elrond BUT WHERE IS CELEBORN?!!

Galadriel washes ashore on some raft with some made up OC human??

THIS IS CELEBORN ERASURE.

[gossip-girl-of-middleearth]

Elrond: you’re gonna give me hair like the previous elven adaptations, right?

Amazon: of course! I’ve got it all figured it out!

Elrond: okay cool just checking :)

One year later

Elrond: oi what the fuck

Amazon: you asked to look like the previous adaptations, what’s the problem??

Elrond: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY MAKE YOU THINK I WAS SPEAKING OF THE 1970’s CARTOON??

[milesofsand]

I can’t imagine what was going thru their head when this whole…look…was chosen. There is no logical explanation for him to look like a 15 yr old medieval peasant. Bro is Elf Royalty to the Nth degree wtf would he have light short hair???? Do Melian & Lúthien and the Noldor mean nothing to these people???? Heresy!

[aragornsrockcollection]

If Elrond was politically ambitious and failed to become king of SOMETHING, with his multiple royal bloodlines, he’d be the most politically incompetent character in the entire world.

Elros puts up his hand and goes “imma be king now” and everyone goes “understandable, here is your crown.”

Elrond had to do some Legolas-level social backflips to be a scholar/diplomat instead of a ruler, and he still got named vice-regent by Gil-Galad at one point so… lol.

Fucking AGREE who wrote the scripts for that god forsaken show I cannot even conceive of the truly dumb shit they’ve cooked up.

[serregon]

not to be too negative but, downgrade of the century

[serregon]

losing it over these comments

[serregon]

crying I love you guys

Yet more reasons I’m not going anywhere near this show

[milesofsand]

I CANNOT

People keep trying to convince me that the LOTR Amazon show “Might be good”, and the thing is, I really, genuinely, don’t care? To my mind this is a lose lose situation. Either

1) It’s a terrible show, they make a bunch of decisions we don’t like, the canon is tainted, the fan theories and interpretations and spaces we’ve created are eroded or demolished to make way for a hollywood monstrosity.

or 2) it’s a “good” show, the costuming looks great, the script is elegant, they pull off the casting and people widely like it. It’s a huge public win for amazon, with a high profile interpretation of a cultural touchstone. Now LOTR has been manipulated to pour money and social influence into Amazon. A human rights abuser and climate terrorist, the acceptable face of late stage capitalism.

I don’t want either of those results, frankly, so I can’t feel excited about the idea that it might be “good”. I don’t want a world where these characters and stories are working for Amazon. The idea that they’ll be helping Jeff Bezos and his ilk makes me nauseous. There’s nothing capitalism can’t reach, there’s nothing sacred that billionaires can’t touch. Our safe space is gone so that Bezos can make a few bucks and get back in the publics good graces, while Amazon treats its workers like animals, feeds climate disaster and spies on activists

Is that what we want these characters’ real life impact to be? Because that’s what’s happening here.

Something I have seen very few people mention re: Omicron and the current surge:

Please, be cautious. Not just about the virus but about life in general.

Babes, now is not the time to get on the rickety ladder to change that light bulb or tackle that woodworking project using the bandsaw.

Let it freaking go.

Clinics and hospitals are overrun. You don't want to need urgent or emergent care right now, my loves. You may not get it. Please be unreasonably cautious around your homes.

Please reblog this, just to remind everyone that any source of medical risk is also now a COVID risk.
