Elrond Is Our Lord And Savior

21/F houston, TX happily taken lotr and general shit posting blog ask me about my iguana

[zukkababey]

zukka au where aunt wu looks straight at sokka and instead of telling him that his future is full of pain and anguish caused by his own hand, she tells him that he’s going to marry the fire lord and sokka is like “EXCUSE ME?”

[zorostan]

sokka, whispering to himself: omg my ability to making royalty fall in love with me has come too far

sokka, immediately writing a letter: dear firelord ozai, I am flattered, but since you are pretty old and super evil, I-

[filialdisciple]

Sokka, while yelling insults at s1 Zuko: And tell your dad I'm not interested in having a jerk like you as a step-son!!

[aboutiroh]

I need a whole plotline of Sokka wondering who this fire lord person is going to be

Season 2

Aang: I wish that Iroh guy was the Fire Lord, he seems pretty nice

Sokka: Yeah the Fire Nation would probably be better off with him as Fire Lord, but he’s so old and more of an uncle figure, you know? Not really my type.

Aang: What

Early season 3

Sokka, waking up in cold sweat: Oh no. What if... Azula is the future Fire Lord

Late season 3

Katara: Sokka what should we do? The invasion failed, we’ve been hiding in this temple for weeks and Sozin’s comet is almost here

Sokka, mumbling to himself: I hope Zuko becomes Fire Lord he’s pretty cool

Katara: what?

Sokka: I said we need to defeat the Fire Lord soon

[whats-a-reading]

Sokka internally having a Firelord tier list during the series is something that I never knew I wanted.

[filialdisciple]

*when zuko and katara arrive right before azula's coronation during sozin's comet*

Zuko: Sorry. But you're not going to be the one marrying Sokka.

Azula: What.

[nothing-more-than-hot-leaf-juice]

Sokka, trying to convince Aang to learn firebending: Aang, you need to learn firebending and defeat the Firelord so I can marry someone who isn’t terrible

if I was planning to refuse to pay rent for a while in an environment where public services will be too limited and burdened to deal with picayune stuff, I’d make sure I knew where the water and gas shutoff valves were and how to reopen them if closed

[thelawfulchaotic]

I would also note that in Virginia, if your water and gas are shut off and all you do is just turn them on, then it’s actually really hard to charge you with a crime, because Virginia’s “tampering with utility meter” (Va. Code 18.2-163) applies only when you actually disrupt your meter’s ability to measure your utilities and the “trespass/interference with utilities” charge (Va. Code 18.2-162) requires that there be actual property damage. 

I am a lawyer, and this is a purely hypothetical scenario that no one should do in real life, totally.

Character Thoughts - Elwing

I don’t think that Elwing throwing herself into the ocean had anything to do with possessiveness about the Silmaril. For me, it recalls two other scenes in Tolkien’s work.

One is Frodo’s defiance at the Ford of Bruinen: “By Elbereth and Lúthien the Fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!” A desperate defiance against evil when you’re at the end of your rope and the end of your strength (and retreat to water, and unexpected rescue).

And the other, even more strongly, is the Fall of Fingolfin. She’s just lost a desperate battle; she sees everything she knows and loves and has built falling into ruin and fire; she can’t stop any of it. But she can fight the people who did this to her, and she can hurt them, even if it kills her. She can’t outright duel Maedhros (he’s been probably the greatest swordsman in Beleriand for ten times longer than she’s been alive; that would quite possibly be a more unequal fight than the Duel of Fingolfin and Morgoth), but she still has a way to hurt him. You don’t get the Silmaril, and you don’t get to kill me. You don’t get to win.

The central thought underlying it is not ‘mine’; it is ‘fuck you’.

It is not about her keeping the Silmaril; it is about the Fëanorians not getting it.

I din’t think she knows just how well she’s succeeding at hurting them - everything in her life tells her the Fëanorians are monsters as bad as or worse than anything from Angband, not beings capable of remorse - but she knows she’s denying them the one thing they want. And Maedhros and Maglor are left knowing that the worst thing they’ve ever done was, as far as their goals are concerned, completely pointless.

She’s not ‘abandoning her children’. She’s already lost her children. She has no way to save them. She has no reason to believe they would be spared, whatever she did. The twins are of no use to the Fëanorians. The Fëanorians have already shown themselves willing to murder children, her brothers, that actually did have value as hostages. If Elwing handed over the Silmaril there’s no reason for her to believe they wouldn’t just kill her and her children for spite.

It can’t be emphasized enough that the Fëanorians are the monsters of Elwing’s life. Angband is a distant name and a threat. The murderers of Elwing’s father, her mother, her brothers, the twice-destroyers of her home, are the Fëanorians. They are her Morgoth.

First you get whipped cream, then it separates. You end up with butter and buttermilk. https://www.instagram.com/p/B99xbHEHUpq/?igshid=1e1kngs3g9yc4

[stitch-n-time]

I made butter because I needed buttermilk. I needed buttermilk byproduct because the store only had it in half gallons. I looked at it in the store because they were out of regular milk. I didn’t need a half gallon so I got whipping cream. Beating cream past the whipped stage and into butter produces buttermilk. I got enough buttermilk from a quart of regular (not heavy) whipping cream to make my bread. As soon as it’s out the oven, I’ll have both fresh bread and fresh butter. It’s a win.

[systlin]

Aw man now I want hot bread with fresh butter

[valtsv]

i HATE stories where, after spending months or even years working and traveling and living together and developing a found family dynamic through their shared time and experiences together, all the characters just… break up once they’ve achieved their shared goals and defeated The Big Enemy or whatever like “oh… we’ve done what we set out to do… i guess there’s no need for any of us to see each other again… it’s probably best we all go our separate ways so we can get on with our lives” like fuck THAT

[valtsv]

if it was me i’d be like “alright kids, grab your things, we’re going to visit your Uncle Bastard for the weekend. yes, the one who tried to kill me when we first met and was there for my wedding and when both of you were born” like it’s just not realistic

[cityelf]

I invite my closest friends and family to a gender reveal party, but when I open the box with maniacal flourish instead of pink or blue balloons, a television screen is revealed.

I dim the lights remotely as we hear Cate Blanchett say, “The world is changed. I feel it in the water.”

Too late, they realise.

The pregnancy? A scam.

The Lord of the Rings editions? Extended.

The doors? Locked.

[maglor-still-lives]

I can’t decide what’s better: elves being a tricked-out version of humans, or the races having similar appearances but completely different physiologies.

[maglor-still-lives]

An elf goes to a human hospital and the doctors are like holy fuck. You broke our blood typing machine.

[maglor-still-lives]

“Sir, the results are in, and technically you are a fungus.”

[systlin]

Had a doc appt (just my yearly checkup) a couple days ago and I asked her about checking to see if my measles vaccine from when I was a kid was still good, since I’d heard it could lose effectiveness over time. She nodded and had a lab done and turned out I was NOT still immune to measles, so got my booster today.

Get your vaccines, folks!

[systlin]

“I have a question about a vaccine,” I say, and the look of ‘god fuckin dammnit not again’ that flashed across this poor doctor’s face, followed by abject relief when I said “I’ve heard that the measles vaccine can lose effectiveness over time and I’d like to make sure mine is still good.” says everything really. 

“Oh thank god,” she literally said. “Yes of course. That’s true, and we can do a blood test and see. If you don’t still have antibodies we can get you a booster scheduled.” 

“That question goes poorly a lot, doesn’t it,” I say. 

“You have no idea.”

[cupiscent]

Boosting this (lol, pun unintended but allowed to stand with pride) and adding: measles often needs updating in adulthood, they’ll usually throw in a rubella update with it; chickenpox might also need updating, mine did; and get your whooping cough updated, especially if you spend time around pregnant folk or small babies. (I say this from an Australian perspective.)

Cartoon design is based off of 70s/80s fashion

So, it’s not wrong.

It’s rather likely

[spiffylindster]

I’d like to add dickey collars for consideration.

I can picture him having an entire drawer devoted to an assortment of these, right next to his drawer full of ascots.

[everystarstorm]

May I present this image from Legend of the Vampire?

He has multiple outfits that all look identical while having completely different construction

[batmanrogues-deactivated2020021]

dc fandom has been redeemed by 99% of the fandom siding with riddler over joker

[acapelladitty]

to be fair its kinda like being asked to choose between a delicious slice of cake and a kick in the crotch with ice skates

[wombatking]

I bet even Batman likes Riddler. He gets the call that Riddler’s broken out of Arkham and is terrorizing the city, and he’s like “Oh, good. I get to give my mind a workout and keep Eddie from doing anything too stupid. I’ll bring the kids. They could use some critical thinking training.”

[janothar]

Ahh, the riddler. Just remember, in the Arkham games, he’s just “hey batman, I hid question marks. Can you find them?” And then just wandered off. No murder no mayhem. Just puzzles.

[swan2swan]

The Riddler wants to be foiled every time, and if one time a bunch of garbagemen got crushed by a giant neon sign because Batman couldn’t figure out that the difference between “Union” and “Neon” is “U and I”, he would probably fall into a depressive state for months because maybe I wasn’t clear enough on that one, was it Batman who failed or was it me who failed? and therefore every time Batman triumphs the Riddler thinks “I am truly living my best life.” 

[soupbeast]

I know that the “billionaire playboy” look is important to B’s look but honestly if the joker or smthn tried to kill someone at a gala and Bruce fuckin decked him everyone would probably just be like “damn these Gotham boys are just Like That huh”

[graaaaceeliz]

Too true, the actual reason nobody makes Bruce Wayne the Batman seriously is because the entirety of Gotham is ridiculous and Like That

[jasontoddiefor]

Reporter: Mister Wayne, how did you find the courage to punch the Joker?

Bruce: That clown comes to my party, threatens my guests and my children - of course I deck him. What else was I supposed to do? Wait for Batman to show up?

[thesuperheroesnetwork]

Let’s be real, every millionaire in Gotham would know self-defence given the record-level millionaire abduction rates in the city.
