A Thousand Words

I have a love for many beautiful things; art, history, music, books, people, movies, nature, tv shows, words. Pens and messy handwriting are my aesthetic. My writing account is @thegreatestofheck if you wanted to know.

it’s actually soooo funny to me that qui gon dies when he runs ahead without obi wan because that’s like. so quintessentially Him. truly a man who died the way he lived: diving headfirst into a situation he was not at all prepared for against the advice of anyone with common sense

Bronwyn: You lied?

Theo: I may have.

Arondir: You may have or you did?

Theo:

Bronwyn and Arondir:

Theo: I may have did.

It’s always “why didn’t arondir check the hilt” “arondir should have checked the hilt” “arondir should have known not to give theo the hilt” and never “himbo rights” smh

“In Every Way But Words” ✨ Arondir & Bronwyn 🌿🏹

I’m too proud of how this turned out not to share. This will eventually be rendered into a traditional pencil drawing, because it’s about time I returned to my roots 😌 I plan on posting my progress on my Instagram. My tag is the same as this one!

Rings of Power is a show that's difficult to pick favourites.

There is Galadriel who is so unapologetically arrogant and badass. Who feels like nobody understands how difficult i her mission is

But actually Miriel understands her because she's also a character who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders.

And speaking of Numenorians, Elendil is such a dilf. And always exhausted by his children.

His daughter Earien is a nice original character and she's not defined by his male relatives. She has her own ambitions and dreams.

Disaster son Isildur is much more realistic than being a larger than life mythical figure. And the way he accidentally causes troubles is hilarious. He also has a great squad with his friends.

Speaking of friendships, Poppy and Nori are friendship goals. Poppy you are the true hero for putting up with Nori's bullshit all these years.

The harfoots are adorable in general. And I love their interactions with the Stranger.

But then the dwarves are also so cool?! Especially Disa, queen of coolness.

And Durin is hilarious. And everyone adores his brotp with best boy Elrond.

And then Arondir appears and it's heart eyes motherfucker.

Absolutely obsessed with that exchange between Adar and Arondir in ep. 6 when the orcs break into the “keep.” Even besides the sheer BDE of Arondir’s “I will consider it” (what an icon), I can’t stop thinking about the fact that by all evidence he was fully going to let Adar kill everyone in that room, Bronwyn included, rather than give up the sword hilt. What a fascinating character beat! I mean, we see characters presented with that same choice all the time, in all kinds of stories: give the bad guy what he wants, or someone you love dies. And every. Single. Goddamn. Time. The hero picks the person they love. It drives me crazy! Because it’s always presented like that was the right thing to do, but it’s not! It’s the trolley problem, right? Do you save one person or ten? Of course you should save ten, even if the one person is the love of your life, because the grief you would feel for their loss doesn’t outweigh the moral imperative to save as many people as you possibly can. But that’s never what the hero does, and someone always suffers for it. But that’s not what happens here: Adar is about to have Bronwyn killed and Arondir doesn’t stop him. He chooses Middle Earth over the woman he loves (and those are the stakes we’re talking about here: we just saw the creation of Mordor for fucks sake. Obviously we’re all glad that Bronwyn survived, but I don’t think anyone would argue that the world wouldn’t be better off if Mount Doom never erupted). I love that that was Arondir’s choice, because it’s so heartbreakingly pragmatic and almost shockingly unselfish. If Arondir had been the only one who knew where that sword hilt was, Bronwyn would be dead and Adar’s plans would have failed because he was expecting the typical hero’s choice of love over everything and everyone else. It never even occurred to him that Arondir might save the world at the expense of someone he loved, but that’s what Arondir would have done. And I fucking love that.

Phoebus's little growl on "fun is my mission" in "Rest and Recreation" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame studio cast recording rb if you agree

[bwaywingdingsnthings]

Hunchback of Notre Dame really went from "come see me dance, hey what can it hurt?" to "all Paris burns for Esmeralda" in the span of 7 songs and i find that jarring
