What if.. Glorfindel joined the Fellowship,,

I mean, it does make sense 🤣🤣🤣

why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.

[elveny]

Don’t tell me delayed orgasms aren’t a thing

learning new things about the german rail system today

[monsata]

His orgasms were the American rail system- occurring with less and less frequency, confined to a few simple routes at most- nothing really adventurous anymore, little more than a husk of his former glory.

And sometimes, in small towns, they would just stop. for no reason at all.

[olchr-1]

That’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Found my old sketch. Earlier concept of Fingolfin when he was young. I imagined him as a young elven prince that loved to explore the untouched side of Valinor. Hope you guys like it.

Spin the wheel to see whether you'll enjoy your time as a roommate. 🤣

[olchr-1]

First spin resulted in Arwen, then Aredhel, and after that I became invested and got Maglor, Luthien, Eowyn and Manwe. Is it possible to get them all? 🤣 I mean, all of them would be great neighbors to live with 😃

Now see that icy vacant lot Where they made your nose bleed The flannel spread, the heater on The world is dead, the sun is gone Here take my hand, I'll take you home You'll never have to be alone - Hello, My Name Is Your TV, Ludo

This isn't what I meant to draw today. But sometimes you get an image in your head and if you don't get it down, it'll drive you insane.

image on the tv is under the cut because it doesn't actually look that nice without all the crt effect on it lol

[cdesu]

Ahm so, suddenly I was busy for a week, but at long last we have Fingolfin! He does not get a back profile because it came out looking weird ahah ✨

Behold~ Maglor being the drama queen I think he would have been~ (he's famous for being the best elvish singer around. No way he wasn't at least a lil melodramatic).

Side note - I know they didn't technically have a 'sun', but I wanted to draw a sunrise, so eh.

[hikarielizabethbloom]

Not to be controversial, but I hate how many posts I see are about what Galadriel could have/should have done and not about what Hal/Sauron should have/could have done and definitely did.

Why should Galadriel be responsible for Sauron's possible redemption? Why is getting the girl always the condition for a man's redemption arc? Why is it always the female character's job to do things? To save them? To help them? Even in fandom space?

Why do we call this progressive? And feminist?

[olchr-1]

One of the worst manipulation tactics in our world 😭. “All these horrors happen because you do not give in, that’s your fault! If only you agreed to my terms, to be with me, then nothing bad would happen at all, I would become as pure as first snow. Yet, you persist, so all those atrocities are on you, you committed them.”

A good woman cannot redeem a bad man, only he himself can do it if he decides to. He knows that and he knows that he will continue to do what he wants after her sacrificing herself to him. For she will have no power over his decisions. Yet, why not to guilt trip her into surrendering her independence? Why not to make her into an unwilling accomplice? After all, she so prettily believes that she can save him 😏. Begs so nicely 🫢.

[hikarielizabethbloom]

Maybe I'm biased because I'm not even a fan of the bad boy, only nice to the girl he likes trope. I just don't like when female characters are put in situations where I feel they're not treated right.

[wantingsweetmeringues]

Like actually! Sauron is clearly displayed to be abusive, at any point he could've chosen to just... Not do that. Galadriel was a useful tool for him to accomplish some of his aims (rewatching season 1, there is always a double meaning to his phrasing, he is manipulating her even when it looks the other way around). But she didn't make him drown her, he *chose* to do that.

If you think back to the Silmarillion, Sauron again failed to redeem himself because he actually acted in a way to accumulate power, even if he *claimed, and probably even convinced himself* he was acting in everyone's best interests. Throughout, all he has to do, which he knows is all he has to do, is to submit to the judgement of the other Valar.

Galadriel's choice whether or not to forgive him for his crimes should not make a difference to his actions, if he truly wanted redemption. So to blame her for his failure to act with repentance is just a continuation of their ongoing abusive dynamic?

[olchr-1]

Exactly, if someone truly wants to repent, they will do it even without an additional push from their “potential love interest”. Because the idea of repentance comes from understanding that someone’s actions are wrong, not because that would get this someone into the pants of their lady love. In fact, the latter motivation is a clear indicator that no true repentance is happening.

So, I would say that yes, that would be the Sauron’s way to get in Galadriel’s head and twist her thoughts. He knows that she cares about others, and she would gladly fight and die for them. “Save them by sacrificing yourself”, yet that’s as fake as it gets.

Btw, if Sauron’s crimes are Galadriel’s fault, then let’s not forget about poor misunderstood Morgoth who just wanted to make his own type of music and to date a cool girl, yet mean Eru and disgusting Varda said no to him. Then, he got a gang (with Sauron as an active, willing and leading participant) and completely rationally invented wars, war crimes, genocide, slavery and other horrors. This includes sex slavery with forced procreation too; I mean, what may the phrase “breeding orcs” and the fact that orcs took female prisoners to Angband, in fact, imply?! All because of mean girl Varda and even more mean dad Eru. If they just said yes to babygirl Morgoth, he would be such a sweetheart 🤣.

[olchr-1]

No, it’s alright, I completely agree 😊. I may be wrong, but I truly believe that stories about “bad boys going good for sweet girls” are a great disservice to female audiences. They kind of lead young girls to believe that bad guys just miss one true love, while they, in fact, miss a screw or two (or maybe dozens) in their heads. Then, these beliefs are mapped to the real life, and we get many ladies being trapped into abusive relationships.

Once upon a time I really liked spuffy too 😊. That part where Spike grew to be a hero for Buffy because he decided it on his own and put a lot of effort. And, even after that, she did not jump into his arms and admitted her feelings only before Spike’s death. Btw, when I was 25, I thought it was wrong that they got no happy ending; now, 10 years later, I think that after all his actions (attempts to kill her friends, attempted rape, etc.) I would feel very uncomfortable if they did get the happy ending 😳.

[hikarielizabethbloom]

The reason I loved them (and still do) so much is because they didn't end up together. Some relationships are not supposed to be endgame, but that doesn't mean that they're not amazing, powerful or important (on the show, for the characters involved and for us). We should stop considering canon or endgame as parameters for whether or not a relationship is good or worthy. Spike's arc works for me because his redemption starts with Buffy, but it's not about Buffy. It's about himself and his desire to right his wrongs. It's not based on his victims's forgiveness. Dawn will never forgive him, he still loves her, and he still cares for her. He still chooses to be good.

[olchr-1]

Oh, yes, I agree with every word! ❤️

Honestly, I recently rewatched some Buffy&Angel episodes, and in the modern media I do miss that part of stories when evil deeds are not swept under the carpet and conveniently forgotten just because. Spike chooses his final sacrifice because he knows he did wrong; Faith goes to jail and stays there because she knows she is dangerous; Angel constantly punishes himself for his crimes for decades. They are not easily accepted back because they should NOT be easily accepted back. Yet, they understand it and deal with it.
