How I read
A book: Oh, only 180 pages left. I will finish this today.
A textbook: Another 8 pages?! Are you kidding me?! I can’t do this. It’s really too much to handle.
Ravenclaw Headcanon
Rumor has it when left alone, Ravenclaws can be known to create their own language, mythical creatures, or even start a cult.
Ravenclaw: I’m calm, cool, and collected.
Slytherin: Four minutes ago you were crying and hyperventilating over how cute and misunderstood thestrals are.
Ravenclaw: THEY ARE TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD AND DESERVE TO BE PROTECTED!
Me, a Ravenclaw at a large social gathering: quiet, shy, observant, nervous inarticulate responses.
Me, a Ravenclaw with a favourite human: yabber, yabber, yabber. Singing tunelessly at the top of my lungs, arbitrary bursts of freestyle dad dancing…
I’m a writer, I whisper to myself as I struggle to add 51 new words to the fic I’ve been whittling together for months like Frankenstein’s decaying prose monster.
It puzzles me when people cite LOTR as the standard of “simple” or “predictable” or “black and white” fantasy. Because in my copy, the hero fails. Frodo chooses the Ring, and it’s only Gollum’s own desperation for it that inadvertently saves the day. The fate of the world, this whole blood-soaked war, all the millennia-old machinations of elves and gods, comes down to two addicts squabbling over their Precious, and that is precisely and powerfully Tolkien’s point.
And then the hero goes home, and finds home a smoking desolation, his neighbors turned on one another, that secondary villain no one finished off having destroyed Frodo’s last oasis not even out of evil so much as spite, and then that villain dies pointlessly, and then his killer dies pointlessly. The hero is left not with a cathartic homecoming, the story come full circle in another party; he is left to pick up the pieces of what was and what shall never be again.
And it’s not enough. The hero cannot heal, and so departs for the fabled western shores in what remains a blunt and bracing metaphor for death (especially given his aged companions). When Sam tells his family, “Well, I’m back” at the very end, it is an earned triumph, but the very fact that someone making it back qualifies as a triumph tells you what kind of story this is: one that is too honest to allow its characters to claim a clean victory over entropy, let alone evil.
“I can’t recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. I’m naked in the dark. There’s nothing–no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.”
So where’s this silly shallow hippie fever-dream I’ve heard so much about? It sounds like a much lesser story than the one that actually exists.
+1 You know how Frodo leaves Sam with the legacy of the quest - the job of bearing witness to what happened - and the duty to finish and protect his writings? Tolkien lost all but one of his friends in WW1. He was founder member of a literary club at school - the TCBS. There was a larger group and a core of four. They all stayed friends, they kept writing and sharing their work with each other. And they were almost all killed. One of them, Geoffrey Smith, wrote this to Tolkien in 1916. My chief consolation is that if I am scuppered tonight – I am off on duty in a few minutes – there will still be left a member of the great T.C.B.S. to voice what I dreamed and what we all agreed upon. […] May God bless you my dear John Ronald and may you say things I have tried to say long after I am not there to say them if such be my lot. And that was his last letter. There’s something eerie about the way he seems to have pegged Tolkien as an eventual survivor. Sam’s survival (and his emergence as the true hero of the book) are beautiful because they’re suffused with loss, because they’re not the grand conquering heroic narrative that on some level was “supposed” to happen.
Tolkien possibly only survived because he got trench fever - a particularly nasty disease carried by lice - and got sent home because he was desperately ill. Considering how the rest of his unit fared, it probably saved his life. Unpleasant and unglamorous, but if not for that, we wouldn’t have LOTR. I’m sure survivor’s guilt was a factor - as was a sickening sense of dread when “The War to End All Wars” didn’t, and his son went off to WWII.
TLOTR has some of the type of valorization of war that you find in the Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon literature that JRRT loved and studied and taught because he loved that style and it’s deeply fitting for cultures like the Rohirrim, but it’s also full of the slog of war, the waste and tragedy, and the irrevocable damage that even victorious survivors carry for the rest of their lives. Frodo’s symbolic “death” is also resonant for survivors of what was called “shell-shock” then and PTSD now.
I mean, it’s not Game of Thrones. It’s not gritty in the same way. But the protagonist of LOTR was minor gentry from a backwater nobody’d heard of, and the REAL hero who saved the world by saving him was his gardener. All the great kings and queens and lords and ladies in the story are background characters compared to the story of the little people. Literally little people, but symbolically too.

That’s a rly nice video :D voltron cast and voltron chars about to sing
hogwarts memes
- everyone answering “no, i’m fred” to “are you [insert Y/N]” even hermione - everything draco does ever - calling blast ended skrewts “power bottoms” - calling newt scamander bad variations of his name like nerd sandwicher etc - colin creevey using that one picture he managed to get of hermione punching draco as a reaction image - shouting “spank me daddy” at the whomping willow - [pointing at random object] that’s a portkey - every single cat is professor mcgonagall
- POTTER
- ever since snape’s “bottle fame, brew fortune” speech students just go on and on with it - “flambé success, bake brilliance” “Can you tutor me in charms?” “TUTOR you? I can teach you how to SAUTÉ EXCELLENCE.”
- [random object] is totally a hufflepuff
- remember that game where someone yells “SHATNER” and you have to overact? same thing except it’s “TRELAWNEY” and you have to use whatever you’re holding to make a ludicrous prediction
- a more popular variation is “LOCKHART” to make up a pompous story about using whatever you’re holding to drive the [monster] out of [town]
- calling hippogriffs “leggy birbs”
- “Our beloved headmaster Albert Dumpsterfire/Aqueous Disillusionment/Aberdeen Decapitation…”
- shitty incantations ( “The Graying Hair Charm? Make-me-bloody-ancient-osia.” )

He has no home
But no one has smiled at him like that in so long

He writes down all the names
The people he has loved and lost
The people who have been lost on his watch
The people who he killed
Every single one of them

Then he puts all the names into a jar
And buries it
…
Percy Jackson is one-hundred and two when Thalia Grace dies on the Hunt
She was the one person he thought would be with him when everyone else was gone

And he is left with only his grief
He and Artemis mourn together

Just fade away
Leave the suffering of the world

He owes no one anything
…

He just wants to feel death on him
To know what it’s like to be mortal and able to die
He doesn’t remember the feeling
…
Percy Jackson is one-hundred and seventy-one when Zeus and Poseidon start fighting again
There was a time when he would have been in the center of the fighting
Supporting his father
Maybe leading an army
But now he just watches
The war destroys the mortals
Most of the land is nothing but rubble
People scramble to survive
He doesn’t understand how they are so weak
…
Percy Jackson is two-hundred and thirteen when Camp Halfblood is destroyed for good
It’s all in flames
Like the vision he was shown by a titan many lifetimes ago
The grief he should feel isn’t there
It’s just another place
He doesn’t remember how it was once his home
That was so long ago
…
Percy Jackson is two-hundred and ninety-seven when Typhon beheads Zeus
He’s hardly surprised
…
Percy Jackson is four-hundred and fifty-two when he goes to sleep
He doesn’t plan to ever wake up
…
Percy Jackson looks sixteen when a girl with stormy gray eyes and blonde curls finds him
She looks like someone he used to know
He can’t put his finger on it
“You drool in your sleep” she tells him
…
Percy Jackson has been alive for five-hundred and seventy-eight years
And now he starts living again
There goes my heart
