[rinemoon]

To anyone who has read my Haikyuu Hanahaki Disease AU, I will be rewriting them and will be posting them on my writing blog @rinniesworks !!

Please check it out when you can, since I will now be posting whatever I wrote on that blog instead of this one since this is far too cluttered to navigate through!

Have a great day!

btw i was rewriting the iwaoi one and god I hate my laptop🤡

”Tall for a dwarf.” [x]

[onionjulius]

Are you kidding me? THORIN OAKENSHIELD IS TALLER THAN ME??? fml.

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

I love Richard, but he got his height wrong. :) Per Weta’s own chart and other infographics, Thorin is 4’10 1/2”.

(link to fullsize pic)

And if these charts aren’t enough…

Well, I don’t think Gandalf and Elrond are supposed to be 7’ tall, really. ;)

[malmao]

Mm I’m gonna have to call shenanigans on the part of the Hobbit crew here. No offense guys! For one, elves actually do average between about 6 and 7′ in height (Galadriel was 6′4) so giving them an average of between 5′6 and 6′ is kinda just their way of accounting for not wanting to deal with height differences between elves and humans in the LOTR movies.

For two, Bilbo Baggins is de-e-efinitely not 4′2. 4′2 is way too fucking tall for a hobbit who was of average height. The tallest hobbit who had ever even existed at the time was 4′5 (later to be topped by Merry and Pippin who drunk ent-draft and got themselves to a whopping 4′6). When Tolkien says that hobbits are between 2 and 4′ tall, that’s not average height. That’s “everyone over or under this number is in the extreme”. 

Again, I’m calling this a way for them to get around showing visible height differences for the dwarves and hobbits bc the average dwarf has a foot on the average hobbit. Richard Armitage and Martin Freeman don’t even have a foot of height difference between them and Thorin is supposed to be tall for a dwarf. 

And we can’t really consider screenshots very reliable honestly, bc what you’ll see is vast differences in height based on where and how they shot that particular scene. 

Overlaying shots and green screen will make the hobbits and dwarves look teeny tiny in stature next to any humans/elves or Gandalf (who btw is actually only 5′6 according to Tolkien’s manuscripts so for all intents and purposes he should be almost a foot shorter than Galadriel). Size doubles will do something similar and the height will be all janky comparatively. If they had the company sit on their knees or if they make a platform, you’re going to see them looking the same width as normal people while still shorter. 

In all honestly, the heights shown in the LOTR and Hobbit movies can’t really be trusted overall. I mean Elijah Wood is an inch taller than Ian Holm. Given that you kind of shrink with age, we can probably say that makes Frodo 4′2 as well. And Sean Astin (Sam), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), and Billy Boyd (Pippin) are all an inch taller than Elijah so are they all 4′3? But then in the Extended Edition, Pippin says he’s pushing 3′7 and then 3′8 when the ent-draft increases his height?? But he’s been seen next to Frodo and definitely isn’t shorter! It just all unravels really quickly. 

tl;dr I don’t think these heights are really reliable at all. Given that dwarves are meant to be between 4 and 5′, Richard’s estimation of what Thorin ought to be is probably the closest to the original intent. If you’re looking for height references for artistic purposes, I’d honestly say you have pretty good license on this one. You could go off the book heights. You could go off this…kinda janky one for the movie. Or you could just look at those given numbers and run with it. You’ve got the wiggle room.

There’s something so uniquely terrifying about memory issues. I feel like my self is slipping away from me.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Here’s the thing I feel like a lot of folks don’t get: I’m not trying to forget what you said. Honestly, I really tried not to. I can’t control what I do and don’t remember—forgetting things just happens. It’s annoying for you, I know, but for me it’s distressing as hell and when you make a big deal out of it rather than just reminding me you make me feel ashamed. I’ll remember that, at least.

It costs you nothing to be kind to people with memory problems. Please. It’s scary enough without people treating memory lapses as a personal failing.

[ace-disgrace-on-the-case]

Hey, reblog this version instead, please!

[starship-bunny]

also its scary cause if theres a disagreement on what happened it can be really hard to get people to believe your version of events to the extent that you even start to question yourself its fucking terrifying

[nincompoopydoo]

everyone else is just in denial

[oliveespineapples]

"i asked chatgpt" well i went to Rockin' Robin and she said that you have all the answers and you just need to stop being so scared of who you are

Watching the Summer Hikaru Died gave me so many akekita thoughts....

What if Cognitive Akechi decided to come back from the engine room, wearing true Akechi's body like a suit? What if Yusuke had to chose to accept the company of whatever had just crawled up from the depths of the unconscious realm, or lose whatever was left of Goro Akechi entirely? What then, huh? What then?

maybe the thing is, it isn’t that ivan ISN’T a parasite; the problem is with how he views it as a bad thing. not to biologist infodump but the common perception of a “parasite” NOT benefiting the host is not often the biological reality — most organisms live in symbiosis, mutual exchange

perhaps ivan IS a parasite. he DOES extract from his host, however — he doesn’t see what he does in return to earn his keep. he doesn’t see the million ways he takes care of till, he loves him, etc. all because he views himself as irredeemable, unloveable, etc

time of year i remind every cane user to get an ice pick so you dont fall and die

[leolaroot]

almost biffed it in a fucking parking lot so time for me to repeat this. if you are a cane user in the northern hemisphere its time to get an ice spike coming in the mail BEFORE the ice forms.

[leolaroot]

@phantomwinds and @strawbebbynya asked in the tags if anyone had advice for winterizing a rollator walker, i dont use a rollator very often but I'd suggest using zip ties around the wheels as improv tire chains. disclaimer that ive never done this before personally but its advice ive seen wheelchair users share.

[leolaroot]

i appreciate that this is still in circulation and i can see the pre-autumn wave of reblogs picking up lol. ice pick is not a gimmick its genuinely useful and can be a life saver. every year winter reaches further towards the equator and new people are finding themselves at risk of ice with no experience for how to keep safe

[changetheprophecybyjjvirus]

Why don't people ship Severus and Regulus? It kind of grew on me. Lions in Snake's coat. (Good fic name btw) Imagine the drama with past Jegulus and unrequited Snily. One of their ship names is Obscure Loyalties. Pfft. Love them. Go my traitor bois.

Felix being Adrien’s flawed copy is good and smart and beautiful and a fandom favourite but honestly. Honestly. We’re not making good enough use of the information canon gave us. Namely that:

Felix is the Graham de Vanily heir, while Adrien is the son of a nouveau riche (ergo a commoner) and a prodigal child: the ultimate sign of his family’s decadence is that he has to work (ew).

Felix was born out of jealousy towards his cousin: Colt would have designed (or at least, meant to design) his child to be superior in all aspects.

Felix wasn’t always this serious, ring-stealing, people-snapping antagonist we have grown to love and cherish: at heart, he’s a theatre kid and a magician. He’s associated with the sun and the colour white and golden tones, while Adrien is linked to the moon and black and silver accents.

For all his identity stealing shenanigans, Felix has a strong sense of self (see: Representation) while Adrien has no clue who he actually is and/or wants to be when he grows up (see: the entire series).

What I’m saying is: Adrien as Felix’s first draft. Adrien who grew up in the spotlight, but never shone as bright as his noble, curious, quick-witted cousin; Adrien who loved Felix’s stories and plays and magic tricks, and does not understand why his cousin grew quieter as the years went by; Adrien desperately trying to fill in the blanks with jokes and puns, only for them to fall flat, because he simply isn’t Felix.

Adrien as Felix’s first draft.

You don’t appreciate just how good Ao3′s search system is until you try to find something on any other Internet archive.

Don’t take Ao3 for granted, people. It’s so good.
