frodo at bilbo's party is being such a good sport. no one acknowledges that it's also his birthday. his gay crush is flirting with someone else .heterosexually. the only gift he receives in honor of coming of age is the incarnation of evil. and then his uncle leaves forever without saying goodbye! and he doesn't even get to bitch about it with gandalf afterwards because he leaves immediately too! worst birthday EVER alert

It's funny hearing Galadriel say in the FotR prologue 'nine rings were gifted to the race of men who above all else desire power' with barely laced contempt because like girl I've read the Silmarillion. I know what your family did over shiny rocks.

I do genuinely believe that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and arguably the Zelda franchise as a whole, though i myself have played literally none of these games) is closer to fitting the description of ‘Tolkien-esque Fantasy’ than most other movies/shows/games/books etc that claim that label

Like, compare this post by tumblr user wufflesvetinari, which makes an important point about Tolkien’s worldbuilding, and also lives in my head rent free:

and then these quotes from Jacob Geller’s “Every Zelda is the Darkest Zelda”

and his conclusions about the messages in Zelda games are thematically very similar to the through-lines about friendship and love in LOTR, and what a lot of authors miss about what makes a fantasy story personal and memorable:

“A world without joy and humor isn’t a compelling world to fight for” is exactly why there are so many pieces of fantasy media out there that just feel like carbon copies of each other (i’ve seen many posts that explain this better than I can though I can’t find any specific ones at the moment, just know that I didn’t invent this thesis). You’ve got the cool swords, you’ve got the wizards and the spells and the battles, but first and foremost you need the LOVE.
