In peace, vigilance. In war, victory. In death, sacrifice

Anders being happy and well is all I need in my life. The copious amount of Anders feels I had yesterday was ridiculous.

ellie fixing her hair in the shop window. blushing in the photo booth. the way she looked at riley on the carousel. how her eyes went to riley’s lips when they finished playing at the arcade machine, and then she turned away and made a joke because she was embarrassed. how, the second riley said she was leaving, ellie got fucking angry because she just got her back.

I mean, yeah, valid! but but but I also want to add on the fact that lotr AGGRESSIVELY rejects the “grimdark” and “gritty” settings that is so prevalent in fantasy (and also in general) right now, because I physically can not shut up about it

It is hope and love and compassion that saves each character individually, and because of that, the world. Frodo fails in the end, but his acts of compassion from earlier in the story save the day. And even as the world is saved, it is acknowledged that Frodo failed—without judgement, without blame. He fails, and he is still loved.

And like what can happen in the real world, he is still irrevocably changed by his trauma. But there is still hope—he has to leave, but he leaves with the promise of healing, and the promise that his ever-faithful Sam will follow.

Aragorn, Boromir, Frodo, Sam; each and every one of the characters are driven by their love of the people around them and their hope for the future. They cling to that love and hope throughout their trials, and that bears them through.

Of course people are watching it for comfort!!!! Lotr is eternally consistent in its promise, which Sam articulates so clearly in The Two Towers: “Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it’ll shine out the clearer.”

Things are dark and awful and terrible, but it will not be that way forever. That is the promise of LOTR. A promise of hope, and the reminder that it is love and compassion—for our friends, for our families, for the strangers we’ve never even met—that will save us in the end.

Well I redrew the anders piece I did about … a year ago? idk if I improved.

Hmm, it turns out my urges to draw increases with the amount of coursework I have (ok I just want to use art as a way to relax)
