Touhou Koumakyou ~ The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - U.N. Owen Was Her
I'm sorry but I have to share these tags
hell, you can go a step furth: some thing don't need to be adapted to film at all. there are plenty of stories that are perfectly fine to consume in their original format.
This too.

Tell me your ideology sees people as pawns without saying your ideology sees people as pawns.
This language is so fucking disturbing.
Lots of meat to be used or disposed.
Can you tell me why Frodo is so important in lotr? Why can't someone else, anyone else, carry the ring to mordor?
but someone else could.
that’s the whole point of frodo—there is nothing special about him, he’s a hobbit, he’s short and likes stories, smokes pipeweed and makes mischief, he’s a young man like other young men, except for the singularly important fact that he is the one who volunteers. there is this terrible thing that must be done, the magnitude of which no one fully understands and can never understand before it is done, but frodo says me and frodo says I will.
(when boromir is thinking of how he can use the ring to defend gondor, when aragorn is thinking of how it brought down proud isildur, when elrond is holding council and gandalf is thinking of how twisted he would become, if he ever dared—)
but then there’s frodo, who desires nothing except what he has already left behind him, and says, I will take the Ring.
it is an offer made out of absolute innocence, utter sincerity. It is made without knowing what it will make of him—and frodo loses everything to the ring, he loses peace and himself and the shire, he loses the ability to be in the world. It’s cruel, the ring is cruel, it searches out every weakness you have and feeds on it, drinks you dry and fills you with its poison instead, the ring is so cruel.
and frodo picks it up willingly. for no other reason except that it has to be done.
(the ring warps boromir into a hopeless grasping dead thing, the power of the palantir turns denethor into an old man, jealous and suspicious, it bends even saruman, once the proudest of the istari, into a mechanised warlord, sitting in his fortress and bent over his perverse creations—all the best of intentions, laid waste)
but there’s a reason gollum exists in the narrative, which is to show—well, to show what frodo might have been. because even as frodo grows mistrustful and wearied, as the burden of this ring grows heavier and heavier, he is never gollum. he is gentle to gollum. he is afraid—god frodo is so afraid for 2/3 of these books he is so tired and afraid, but he keeps moving, he walks though it would pull him into the ground, because he asked for this, he said he would.
someone else could have carried the ring to mordor, I suppose. the idea of a martyr is not dependent on the particular flesh and blood person dying for some greater purpose. but such a thing has to be chosen, lifted onto your shoulders for the right reason, the truest reasons, and followed into the dark, though it would see you burnt through and bled out.
I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.
#the older I get the more defensive I become of frodo #because frodo was whole and pure and unthinking and he did this terrible necessary thing #thinking of nothing except that it had to be done #and that is so hard #in the world #that is so much #that is a hero’s burden (via notbecauseofvictories)
The thing about the Ring, as far as I believe, is that it twists and tempts desires. Noble or Wretched, it latches onto people’s desires and offers power to achieve those desires. This is why Boromir was tempted, because he had grand wishes and desires. This is why Gandalf and Galadriel feared the Ring so much. Because they Knew that no matter how noble and well-meaning their desires would be they Would be twisted into evil parodies of themselves.
Frodo, much like Bilbo, were simple people. They had no grand plans or desires. They lived simply and happily, the peak of their ambitions were a good breakfast, smoking the pipe on a nice day and hanging out with others at a tavern. It was that simplicity, that love for peaceful, uneventful life that made it so hard the Ring to latch onto them.
And it sure feels like an allegory, how those with grand desires, no matter how noble, can be thrown off their path by power of some faster but less moral ways of achieving their goals.
I'm obsessed with the fact that, in the Ninjago universe, Spinning is the most powerful force of nature imaginable. There is something baked into the fabric of this world that makes Spinning a godlike super-skill.
Dragons can create wormholes between the fabric of other universes. What do they do to open those rifts, you may ask? They SPIN.
How did a man achieve the power of god and create the entire world as the characters know it? He SPUN AROUND. Really fast. He did a super-spin and made an incomprehensibly large tornado (another Spinning-based phenomenon found in nature) and that tornado created all of reality.
The two most powerful martial arts we know of, Spinjitzu and Airjitzu, are entirely based on Spinning. Wars have been fought over these abilities. People so greatly covet and fear the ability to Spin™ really good that they will kill each other for the knowledge.
So yeah, spinning is a good trick.
Ninjago and the flash exist in the same universe
I mean... Drills Spin
why the FUCK does this have more than 10,000 notes
Post got so fucked up by updates it doesn’t even show ryu1964 as the OP anymore
I NEED PRIVACY, NOT BECAUSE MY ACTIONS ARE QUESTIONABLE, BUT BECAUSE YOUR JUDGMENT AND INTENTIONS ARE.
This will never NOT be funny
I’m so glad this is on tumblr
My favourite thing about this is, he didn’t even have to call him ‘Captain’ he could have used the screen-name but he was SO MARRIED TO THE IMMERSION that he DID.
best thing about uncle iroh is that if you pay attention he is actually just as much of an idiot as zuko but has just mastered the art of coming across as a wise old man. the even better thing is that zuko is the only one on the planet who somewhat realizes this and no one would ever believe him because he's zuko
like uncle iroh 100% does dumb shit on purpose sometimes to get people to underestimate him and keep zuko from capturing the avatar, but other times he just, and i cannot emphasize this enough, does impulsive dumb shit for no reason other than the fact that terminal stupid presumably runs in the royal family's blood
uncle: "you never think things through, prince zuko!"
also uncle:
once got captured by the earth kingdom army buck ass naked bc he really wanted to go to a hot spring in enemy territory
betrayed zhao at the Northern Water Tribe with no escape plan and then spent 3 weeks starving on a boat
immediately went to a spa resort upon publicly committing treason
ate a poisonous plant and, in the spirit of Two Fish Hook Sokka, was going to solve the problem by eating another potentially poisonous plant
decided the safest place in the world they could go was the city he once FAMOUSLY laid siege to for 600 days
instead of lying low or giving a modicum of a shit about people recognizing him, overachieved himself into becoming one of the most well-known restaurant owners in said city
in fact overachieved so hard that he got an invite to meet the earth king (whose city he, again, once FAMOUSLY LAID SIEGE TO) which he fucking? accepted????
#no wonder zuko was constantly frothing at the mouth! he's the only one who knows the truth!#god just imagine the number of times people have seen zuko yelling at iroh#and assumed zuko was just being mean#when zuko was actually yelling at his uncle for wasting all their money bartering with pirates AGAIN#everyone assumes iroh is babysitting zuko but really they're pingponging responsibility back and forth#and zuko at least has the excuse of being 16#anyway I love Uncle Hypocrite so much; funniest motherfucker on the planet (via OP)
How could you not mention the iconic scene of him FIREBENDING HIS TEA IN PUBLIC
Iroh is Zuko with 50 more years of experience. Which makes it so much funnier when Zuko appears in Korra.
I read that as dual wedding and i had to
lets give them a proper skyrim marriage
i love how tumblr users play with jpegs like dolls
funniest thing about any scooby doo remake is when they make fred a mean jock when in reality he’s a mom friend
Isn’t Velma the only reboot that made him a mean jock?
