I hate when I hyperfixate on something and then get in too deep and hurt my own feelings. Sinners rant. Wunmi and Michael rant.

I was scrolling and saw that video of the cast standing outside for pictures. It's actually two videos like that. When Wunmi is wearing a blue dress and one where she's wearing a floral dress I think. Mind you in both videos she's standing next to Michael. Why is it that they ALWAYS split them up? Why is it a problem to have this full figured dark skin woman standing next to MBJ the star of the movie?

Ryan Coogler literally looks like he goes in for a hug, but tells her something. Her smile drops and he stands between them. Why? She and Hailee were literally laughing together and he comes over to stop her with a "hug."

Why?

The other time she and Michael had a moment where they both looked at each other and smiled then held hands. He lets her hand go and shoved Miles in between them and once again her smile drops. Why? Even during interviews they sat him away from her or had someone sit between them as if it's forbidden.

I understand I'm taking it personal because I always care about what's going on with black women and how they're being treated. So I'm not going to ignore that, however this is being done on purpose. Videos of Michael and Wunmi usually involve such admiration and or laughs so why would you not want to push that? Black women are usually always the biggest supporters so why not cater to us as well when it comes to interviews, seating arrangements, and pairings?

Why do we have to watch one of ours get pushed aside? We'd like to see one of us get some love too. Was Annie not as important to the movie as Mary? Like what's happening? Why?

Drabble request, as requested!

Maybe something with Kaos knowing what was going to happen to Rue? Whether that’s saving Rue, or having to tell her why he let that happen to her at some point—how would Rue feel if she found out that Kaos could have saved her and chose not to?

(Also, can I send multiple asks?)

"You knew," Rue said. It echoed in the void.

"I saw," Anathra agreed. His eyes were so blue. Blue as they'd been Before, when he'd told her it would be okay. They glowed in the dark between worlds.

He wasn't Anathra: this he'd said. Had she ever met Anathra? Would she, ever?

"Why?" They asked, bursting ragged on their tongue. "You—you knew. Why?"

He looked sad, almost. What right had he to this sadness? He wasn't the one who would land.

"You'll wake up soon," he said. And then: "Anathra will miss you."

"Wait—!"

But he was already gone.

So, you've already had the idea of "Hobbits' hair goes white in Winter" and "What if: if it gets too cold Hobbits hibernate." Let's take this further:

These things don't affect Hobbits in the Shire all that much as temperatures rarely dip below -5°C or above +25°C. [I know that doesn't make much sense given how far inland the Shire is, but Tolkien was making it out to be Middle-Earth's [insert England here.] Also, look at the mountains around Mordor: does that seem like the invention of someone who cares about sensible geography? So yeah mild enough in the Shire.]

But these changes REALLY take effect in places with much wider seasonal variations.

What if in very hot places Hobbits tan, and then tan much, much darker than humans? What if their hair gets thinner so as not to over-heat? If it gets thicker for warmth in Winter, why would it not go the other way?

What if Frodo, as he was nodding off on Caradhras was going into hibernation?

What if Hobbits can withstand insane seasonal variations? +50°C -- still trucking along just fine, has become nocturnal to cope. -40°C -- has made a burrow, is in hibernation, fine.

What if their pupils can contract and dilate much further than humans, allowing them so see fine in both very bright and very dark conditions? What if their pupils can change shape: becoming cat-like in dim light?

What if Hobbits are terribly efficient at dispelling heat from their bodies? They sweat more than humans, maybe blood goes down to their feet (which are exposed) and cool that way. [I'm thinking like how, isn't it that African elephants pump blood around their ears and flap them to efficiently cool down.]

On the other end of the spectrum, Hobbits are very efficient at warming back up. They're round and fat as a form of insulation, and usually just plain old shivering will warm them back up. The Fell Winter took so many Hobbits not because it was exactly too cold for them, but rather due to the lack of food they burned through their natural insulation -- and that is why they froze.

What if -- and I actually reckon this is more-or-less canon -- Hobbits can survive much longer on very little food compared to other species, as long as they don't get too cold? Hobbits eat 7 meals a day by nessisity. But they can survive on barely one, as long as there's nothing else actively killing them.

What if Hobbits can take anything nature throws at them? Sure they won't be all too comfortable, but they'll get on with it. Their bodies just ADAPT to it, for the most part.

@stardryad -- if not the inventor of snowy hobbits, the one who got the idea going.
