Iām proud to identify as morosexual. Iām attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. A guy asked me what the Spanish word for tortilla was once and now I dream of kissing him under the moonlight

oh my god the original out in the wild
Love that Galadriel is so fuelled by the rage stored in her little body that she just yeets herself off the boat headed to elf heaven, and fucking swims all the way back to middle earth just so that she wouldn't miss the chance to beat Sauron's ass or see it get beat.
The creators of The Rings of Power seem to have forgotten (or never understood) Tolkien's one absolute core message:
WAR BAD
It's not something you should aspire to, it's not something to glory in. It's horrible and violent and all-around shit. But sometimes, you have no choice.
He was a veteran of WW1 ffs.
He saw it all, the blood, the dying, the dogged determination of his comrades and the women fighting to save lives, plugging bullet holes as best as they can. Holding the hands of the dying while being shelled.
But US culture is so rife with war glorification. In US media, depicting war as something horrid, something awful, something that should be avoided if at all possible - that started and stopped in the 80s.
"Saving Private Ryan" was the last hurrah of that line of works a decade later.
If you view, like, Eowyn through that lens? Her character arc isn't "strong war maiden turns into docile wifey". It's "Clinically depressed woman yearning for one last act of glory and then death gets confronted with the realities of battle, does what she strove for, but realizes that she wants to live. And do something with her life that doesn't involve bloodshed and killing."
Because Tolkien doesn't see glory in war.
Or, to bring in a quote from another franchise: "Wars make no one great."
And if you lose that message? You lose everything.
Everyone keeps saying the elves were treating Galadriel as if she were younger than them, even though she's centuries older than them. But that is 100% not what they were doing. It was more of a, okay grandma, you've had your fun, now it's time to enjoy your retirement back home. And she's just like, I will absolutely fucking not, thank you very much.

You know what would be incredibly funny? If the Rings of Power writers, deciding to ride the plot-sized wrecking ball which Peter Jackson chose to dodge, wrote Tom Bombadil into a future series. He'd fit right into a harfoots plotline and it would be fucking hysterical. I MEAN:
...Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless ā before the Dark Lord came from Outside.
Or:
[Tom] appeared already to know much about them and all their families, and indeed to know much of all the history and doings of the Shire down from days hardly remembered among the hobbits themselves.
I am not normally an embracer of chaos, but oh, please, it would be amazing.
like legit I donāt think weāre supposed to know that much about other people. my kids will be trained in counterintelligence from the go
[hoarsely] is everyone ok
*covered in blood and debris* [shakily] yeah
[unseen, muffled] doing awesome
Heās here, hereās there, heās every-fucking-where! Roy Kent! Roy Kent!
thereās something about constantly setting jen up with a bunch of men who only value her for her looks as she-hulk, and then pairing her with matt who canāt see her + does not care. iām kinda onto something here just trust me.

I know it's fun celebrating Trump's (hopeful) downfall, but let's remember that the synagogue of the judge who approved the warrent to raid Mar-A-Lago had to cancel their Shabbat services out of fear for the congregation's safety this past week.
Already, MAGA truthers are being riled up to blame The Jews for what happened, and as this case continues, please bear in mind the reactionary backlash that follows, and look out for the safety of the already marginalized groups who are affected by it.
Peter: *falls asleep on Tony*
Literally anyone else: *entering the room* Tony we need to-
Tony: *on the brink of tears* if you wake him up, i swear i will rip you limb from limb
