gideon vs cytherea fight was literally hydrogen baby vs coughing bomb if you think about it

I stand up and look to the bodies. No longer a stern commander; no longer a cheerful friend. Just two empty husks that once held souls but now barely looked human. They deserve more than this. They deserve a burial.

Rocky: Will be lit, statement.

GRACE: HELL YEAHHH!

Tbh, I think everyone getting very attached to Tall Adrian™️ kinda makes them miss the potential of the canon reality that Eridians average at 50cm tall.

Grace is living on a planet of toddler sized rocks with twice his strength. If at ANY point he forgets to look where he’s going he is Going Trip Over An Ambassador. Unstoppable force vs. immovable object except Grace is very much stoppable.

Eridians either get used to talking to his shins, craning on their tippy toes to get a good look at his face, or begin forcing him to sit criss-cross applesauce for literally any important meeting. Picture him joining the Erid equivalent of a UN press conference and having to curl up his awkward water body and hug his knees for the whole thing.

He can conceivably be picked up by an alien the size of a hard helmet against his will. He’s surrounded by space roombas with perfect memories and attention spans shorter than his San Francisco classroom who can’t believe he’s incapable of solving complex math in three seconds. He has step stools around his house for them to climb so he can feel like he’s “looking them in the eye” even though Eridians think that’s stupid since they lack both eyes and directional perception.

His students are probably all palm sized. Once he starts teaching he’s fighting cuteness aggression all day every day. They could all break his fingers with hands the size of a button. That knowledge does not stop his cuteness aggression. THIS IS GRACE’S REALITY.

‘No!’ said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. ‘You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!’ Boromir smiled.

#purely re: the movies this is the moment #the moment aragorn actually becomes king in exile instead of just some guy in exile #before this point it was a hypothetical right or inheritance that he was choosing not to ‘collect’ for a variety of reasons #but as boromir acknowledges him it’s all over #he’s king #and it’s not about aragorn ‘choosing’ #it’s about being chosen by someone else

Rocky visits the Hail Mary, book vs. movie

[floofysmallbob]

actually liking your friends is so embarrassing but so necessary. like im really over here smiling and laughing at texts. on a discord call while we sit in silence doing our own things. talking for literal hours and not even realizing. platonically head-over-heels.

[floofysmallbob]

this post has over 5k notes now and I just wanna say it makes me so happy to see so many people reblogging this, tagging people, saying they’re NOT embarrassed, sharing their love so loudly. so glad that this post I made after a 4 hour discord call with my friend resonated with so many people <3.

Im a Plague Amongst Humankind..... I Should Be Flogged Every Waking Moment Of The Day By My Oppressors...... while harris trying to live out his hallmark christmas fantasy. guys come on we have to save the family farm from getting bought out by these evil businessmen who want to turn it into a strip mall
