So you know how they say "Finrod brought more treasures out of Tirion than any other prince of the Noldor", and I'm thinking...since Feanor burnt the ships, right? Finrod and his family crossed the Ice with everyone else. HOW THE FUCK DID HE CARRY ALL THIS TREASURE?! Was dude just wrapped up in a fur cloak lugging this heavy ass treasure chest across the arctic wasteland like wtf?! Was he smuggling diamonds in his ugg boots?!

Thranduil: that's not a lot of inches.

Tbh Van Eck kind of lucked out taking Inej. Okay, not lucked out because, like, obviously Kaz is the worst in terms of vengeful boyfriends, but I can only imagine if he had taken Jesper or Nina. Kaz 100% is terrifying but at least Inej is chill and Kanej is totally the least annoying couple of the group.

Nina would have been the worst bc not only do you have a recovering Grisha who has insane power bothering you for waffles everyday, but now her drüskelle boyfriend is going to ride on in with an army of wolves to fight you and bicker with her on the side. It’s a serious ass fight scene and you just have them arguing like “we have to go” “but I haven't finished my food yet” “we have food at the slat” “not like this, darling” “NINA WE ARE TRYING TO ESCAPE”

Jesper would have SUCH beef with Van Eck after hearing the speech he gave about Wylan that this kidnapping would be so much worse for him than Jesper. He would do everything in his power to make his life hell. Like. My God. Just endless “And today’s reason why Wylan is better than you is-” nonstop. Van Eck would go to torture him and Jesper doesn’t even care because he’s trying to roast this man and his receding hairline. Then, to top it off, Wylan would blow his ass up. Happy Father’s day ig.

If he had (for whatever reason) just taken Kaz, that would also be funny bc Kaz would have zero confidence in getting rescued. Like “oh, they’re capable, of course, but not without me there to tell them what to do. Might as well kill me now.”

And then he escapes himself five minutes before the rest of the crows burst into the room. Jesper is just there like “I told you guys we shouldn’t even bother. He never waits for us.”

Smash that mf reblog button if you stoically ignore all labelled washing instructions and everything your mama ever told you about laundry and just send those bastards hurgling around in an overfilled tub to meet either death or glory

[aphony-cree]

Something I learned from a costume designer: if an item can be washed multiple ways the designer is only legally obligated to put one of the ways on the tag, but if there’s only one way to wash that item they have to put Only on the instructions

If the tag says “Dry Clean” it’s safe to machine wash but the designer thinks it looks better if you get it dry cleaned 

But if it says “Dry Clean Only” you will destroy it if you wash it any other way

Reblogging for that last bit which this 37 yr old adult did not lnowy

[3798tadpole]

hey so what the fuck was this about

[official-lucifers-child]

i think one big different between tumblr and other social media is the usernames. on other sites people will just add a lot of numbers to their username and here we all went “okay weird” and went nuts. you don’t make an account on instagram called motherfucker-unlimited, you do like ccsmith6.08 or whatever the fuck. here? usernames bigtiddygothgf and misha-collins-stan discuss special relativity with all the confidence of a thousand physics professors. a blog called sarah378 is a porn bot.

when someone opens their heart to you, it's a gift so honor it. respect it.

[justsomeguycore]

also while i’m ranting about gender i always see debate about whether girls are rewarded for being tomboys or not and it’s like. actually girls are rewarded for mirroring whatever the situation demands of them. girls can’t be too prissy and refuse to play in the creek, but girls also can’t show up to girly events covered in mud. girls can’t have makeup art as a hobby or else they’re superficial, but if they never wear makeup they’re a slob and dumpy, etc. it’s not that girls are universally rewarded or punished for being tomboys, they’re rewarded for bending over backwards to always be exactly right for any given situation and punished for breaking those boundaries. so yes a classically pretty girl who cleans up nice is rewarded when she can ALSO be a tomboy. but a girl who is a tomboy all the time is definitely punished for never being able to achieve that prerequisite feminine side. this debate is over now thanks

[roach-works]

in conclusion, the way sexism works is that women are supposed to be accessories to men, so girls are specifically punished for doing their own thing until they learn to do whatever other people want them to without even having to be told.

ben barnes i will happily make you a dilf. oh, and also happy birthday.

Georgie's reaction to Ben Barnes' birthday is everything to me

Pahahahahahahahaha happy birthday ben

One thing in Lord of the Rings I’ve found extremely relatable lately is how the hobbits react to apocalyptic horrors by focusing on the mundane details of their day.

“Looks like we’re on a hopeless journey into Hell in the middle of a world-ending event where everything we know and love will be destroyed. What are we going to have for breakfast today, Mr Frodo? :D”

[overthinkinglotr]

This is also why the moment where Sam is forced to throw away his pots/pans in Mordor really Gets me…because Sam comforted Frodo and himself by recreating the mundane “normal” rituals of their life in the Shire, especially the rituals around meals and food. Throwing away his pans means throwing away his ability to do that, throwing away the ability to feign ‘normalcy’ for even a moment

[soundsfaebutokay]

I really liked the detail about Sam’s box of Shire salt. He may not know how or where he would find something to cook, but if he does it won’t be tasteless. The little things matter when they’re the only things you can control.

[overthinkinglotr]

Ahhh yeah exactly ;-;

Another similar moment that gets me is the way Sam rations food for the return journey as a way of reassuring Frodo and himself that there Will be a return journey.

So the moment in Mordor when Sam throws away all his cooking implements…or the later moment when Frodo points out there will be no water left for the return journey and Sam says “I don’t think there will be a return journey,” showing that he’s given up the mentality he had in the beginning of the film where he was emphatic that the two of them would return…..ahhhhhhhhh

It’s more than just rationing food, and it’s more than just sacrificing little habits and routines. Its like— by sacrificing these little habits and routines, they’re sacrificing any belief that they can have a future.

It’s like “why perform these meaningless daily rituals where you take care of yourself and carry around little things that make you happy, when the world is ending?” And the answer is “because if you stop doing those little things, you’ve given up any hope that the world can be saved, and that you can be part of it”

No but the fact that Mal and Alina spend months apart missing each other desperately and longing for each other only to get thrown together under terrible stress and bad circumstance just to argue is so wonderful in a sad, angsty way. The way they argue is so desperate, they are begging the other person to prove them wrong, to prove that they hadn’t been forgotten, that the other person had spent the time wishing for them, the way they had been wishing. They are begging the other person to love them back, not realising the other is begging for the same thing.

They reunite and their sadness and stress and the desperate wishing for months that was met with nothing all build up to this moment where they are both truly just saying “how could you forget me, when all I could think about was you?”
