The Nerdyre (^,..,^)

est. 1996 There is no rhyme or reason to my blog. The majority of it is filled with fandom references, witchery, photography, things that remind me of my depression/anxiety, & quirky posts that help with episodes.

"people have interpreted the question as how do YOU pronounce it" they are doing that because that's what the question is. i said "how do you pronounce it" because i meant "how do you pronounce it". also i was not "looking for" 'miss' because that is not how i pronounce the word 'ms', & 'ms' is not even short for 'miss'. i dont think you can get away with making digs at other people's "reading comprehension" & lack of nuance while misinterpreting me with this much confidence

Most English teachers in America (ime, as a southerner) teach that Ms. is for Miss because they don't want to discuss the word Mistress with children. I didn't know there was a difference between Ms. & Miss until I happened upon it online as a result. So I get why they're loud & wrong. But they could've googled it before presuming they were correct. And it is in fact pronounced miz, which makes this all the more funny.

Uh, guys? Don't confuse your crappy televised fanfic for the story that Tolkien actually wrote.

Galadriel was never "under Sauron's thrall." That's something ROP made up. In Unfinished Tales, she was the only one in Eregion who suspected that Annatar was lying about being an emissary of the Valar. Celebrimbor was deceived by him. She was not. She was certainly not "under his thrall." No, not even because she had Nenya.

Yes, when Frodo offered her the One Ring, she was tempted. It could have given her the power to prevent the fading of Lothlórien. But when she makes this speech in the book, and in the Peter Jackson movies, it's her own thought, she's not repeating something that Sauron said to her once:

“You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!”

These are Galadriel's words. Her words. Not Sauron's. And she was tempted by the One Ring because she could have been a more powerful queen, not Sauron's queen. Like, you guys really took one of the most powerful and complex female characters in Tolkien's works and you made her story all about a man and his power over her and his manipulation of her. Fuck off.

And stop tagging ROP as Lord of the Rings.

[middle-earth-mythopoeia]

Your tags passed peer review. And yes that is EXACTLY what Amazon did, they tried to make Galadriel's speech where she overcomes the ultimate temptation about that wet cat of a man. ROP had a scene where he asks her to be his queen (never mind that Sauron would never share power) and says he'll make her stronger than the foundations of the earth, etc., retroactively making it seem like her speech in FOTR is a callback to that. The loathing I feel for the Amazon writers is unparalleled.

I'd truly be the worst person to stick into a timeloop because I'd really just spend the first 5 years catching up on my book tbr, the next 7 on all the movies and shows that've Been On My List for ages, and then another decade on ao3. like sure nothing may stick but my memories will and i can just go into a supermarket to get snacks and wine each day, and i have art to indulge in. like thanks for the hints on how to get out but respectfully, I am busy
