In My Shadowed Heart the Flames Are Rising

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

always tragic that adaptions of The Lord of the Rings leave out the bit in the beginning where Frodo is about to leave the Shire on his great journey that he’s been angsting about for years and goes to say goodbye to his friends, expecting them to be surprised and confused and demand answers that he can’t give because he needs to maintain secrecy—

—only for his entire friend group to be like “Ha ha oh you mean your secret mission to destroy Sauron’s ring? Yeah, we know all about that. We’ve been plotting on your behalf for like, half a decade. We grade your an ‘F’ on keeping secrets from your friends, you angsty bastard.”

[glumshoe]

Frodo: “How did you find out about my secret plans?!”

His friends: “Oh, I don’t know, we’re just very clever and perceptive. Also for the last year you’ve been breaking off conversations to stare into the distance and mutter ‘Oh, woe is me, for I must go on a perilous quest to save the world!’ and we inferred the rest from context clues.”

Frodo: “Oh no! I have been betrayed!”

His friends: “Frodo?”

Frodo: “Yes?”

His friends: “Shut the fuck up.”

folks, I’m just gonna say it. I don’t think it rains for long enough periods of time. it rains hard, it sounds good, I’m comfortable inside, but within 5 minutes the jig is up. the dream is over. I think it should rain for longer periods of time than it presently does

the frog is right

[missmollyetc]

Everybody who wears The One Ring in LOTR starts to refer to it as ‘My Precious,’ and Tolkien’s right that is super creepy, but what I really love is that everybody does it, which says to me that this super powerful scary evil sentient ring has a favorite pet name and just, like, will not respond to anything else.

Hey uhh @piyo-13 you cant hide brilliance like these in the tags

[piyo-13]

look i’m just saying, even as educated as frodo is, would he really KNOW the true name of sauron? like shit, of any of the elves left in middle earth by the time the events of LotR actually happen, only círdan and galadriel are old enough to remember that sauron existed in valinor (not counting old sindarin/avari elves because iirc sauron was never called mairon on the shores of ara [except possibly by melkor wink wonk]), let alone what his name was. so to everyone in ME, he’s always been sauron, and there’s no connection to “precious” in any linguistic sense… but mairon remembers.

[swilmarillion]

no you’re a hundred percent right!! no one would know, and it wouldn’t make sense to anyone except maybe Gandalf, but that shredded little piece of sauron’s souls remembers

[marithlizard]

Oh, wow.   

[scarletjedi]

this is why i love lotr fandom. this right here

[shaelit]

so what you’re saying is there’s a tiny piece of sauron’s soul tucked smug into the Ring just going around introducing itself as “i’m babey”

the devil that lives on my shoulder really wants me to make a coherent theory of harry potter magic

magic is composed of two components: whimsy and british imperialism. we project these into a 2 dimensional vector space

chimaeraundying

it’s a metaphysical reaching (and also religious allegory I guess) where characters say the right words to phone up the author and politely request a supernatural effect to happen

why are schoolchildren so much better at detecting autism in girls than legit doctors

after seeing a knowledgeable pediatrician ur whole life you’ll finally get evaluated as a teenager and they’ll be like “I am forced to concede…that you may have a slight case of the Ass Burgers”

when Melissa, Kelsey and Sophie from the third grade will look at you for .5 seconds, simultaneously be like “this other small girl has something wrong with her” and give you lifelong trauma without even referring you to a psychologist
