im a little freak and i hear voices sometimes ( more than the normal ones ykno ) . and when youre a little freak who hears voices theres apparently a chance that if you watch too much dimension 20 in one week that you literally start hearing brennan lee mulligan narrating what you are doing like youre an npc . except he talked abt me like i was gilear like " this very sad very obviously depressed man holding a glass of water and staring solemnly at his phone " like ok thanks brennan

[racingtowardsaredlight]

Okay wait this actually so real though because i too am a little freak who hears voices but most of the time I’m narrated BY GILEAR

Also I’m a little freak who has hallucinations and a mirror in my room so Baron from the Baronies visits too much for my liking

Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

[aphroditestummyrolls]

If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️

it’s just hard not to think about the fact that in 1915, JRR Tolkien went to war not with but certainly in the same army and many of the same battles as his 3 best school friends, all nicely upper class young men who had never known much loss, and only he and one other came back alive - and a couple decades later, he wrote a book in which 3 nicely upper class young men (and one very excellent gardener) who have never known much loss go to war together, or at least they start out together, and they all come home alive. (Though one cannot bear it, and does not stay.)

[meerius]

What more it wasn’t just losing his friends, he was a commanding officer of a battalion of working class men. All farmers and miners from the same area of Lancashire. He felt affinity for them, but wasn’t allowed to socialize between the ranks due to military protocol and he hated it. 

 "The most improper job of any man … is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.“

I don’t think it was even 6 months later that he contracted trench fever and was sent home. 

His entire command was wiped out in one charge shortly after, the majority of a whole countryside’s youths slaughtered while he survived. Youths who were brave and steadfast, but thought of as lesser than their superior officers while still being the ones carrying the actual battle. Youths who deserved fellowship, respect, and above all to go home and dance with their own Rosie.

“My Sam Gamgee is indeed a reflection of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognised as so far superior to myself”.

TRIES NOT TO CRY

[jenniferrpovey]

There is a reason Frodo, who represents the English gentry, in the end falls and is caught by Samwise, who represents the common man.

But there is a soldier in Lord of the Rings who does not come back, and I don’t mean Boromir.

I mean the being who was a common hobbit, but who became corrupted by darkness and poison, who’s face is described in ways reminiscent of a gas mask.

The soldier who doesn’t come home, who is poisoned by gas and stress and insanity.

Is Gollum.

[sniperct]

The Lord of the Rings repeatedly stresses the horrors of war. Eowyn’s entire arc is about the truth of warfare versus the way it’s glorified. She starts out glorifying war and combat and soldiers, even when her own brother is telling her war sucks and is terrible. And then in the end, she sees first hand what war does to people.

Aragorn’s entire arc isn’t to be the steadfast hero saving the day, it’s to hold the line in terror and horror and blood while the overlooked folk are the people who save the world. And then, what makes him a king, is not his skill in battle, but his healing hands.

Which then ties into both Eowyn and Faramir’s arcs. Eowyn goes into healing not because she’s a weak and meek woman, but because war is horrible and saving lives is better than taking them. Aragorn is glorified within the text for his healing, and so is Eowyn.

Also, tying into the common man thing, in the movies it’s Faramir but in the books it’s SAMWISE who questions what brings a man so far from home to fight in a war and if he is really so different.

LOTR is anti-war propaganda.

[lookashiny]

And this is why I don’t get people who find Eowyn’s fate to be anti-feminist. She doesn’t become a healer because she’s a woman, she does because it’s the right thing to do. Both her and Faramir’s futures are to renew the world. That’s a good thing.

[thephilosophersapprentice]

It’s because people still take Joss Whedon’s view of feminism, even in the year 2020 CE.

I dont know if this exactly belongs here, but … my grandfather served in WW1, at Gallipoli then at Ypres / Passchendael: he retired from his job the year I was born, and helped my parents buy their house, lived with them and helped raise my brother and I. One of the things he tried to teach us, was how horrible war was, relating many ghastly stories to us of his experiences (and many wonderful ones of his time wandering the world, he was born in Ireland and had the Irish storytelling thing). One tale he told me, that really stuck, was his experiences in 1918 - at the end of January, he was the only man still in his platoon (of 40-ish) who had been in the platoon at the start of January - everyone else had been killed, wounded, sent home sick, or … missing, in that wonderful word.

At the end of February, he was the only man still in his platoon who had been in the platoon at the start of February.

At the end of March, he was the only man still in his platoon who had been in the platoon at the start of March.

In April, he took a blighty wound (had a toe shot off … possibly by his own action).

50 years later, he still couldn’t talk about this without breaking down weeping. He shipped back to New Zealand with a shipful of shattered soldiers, the poisoned, the maddened, the crushed and chewed up, and each time he talked about this part of his life, he would go through all the men he knew, and vividly described their suffering.

(he also did a bunk from the ship in Cairo, and met up with a girl he’d met before the war, but thats a whole other story).

[tanoraqui]

I think that belongs exactly here. Your grandfather sounds like a really cool guy.
