I think the reason so many LOTR ripoffs fail is because they make their Aragorn analogue the main character, when the entire point of Aragorn is that he’s “the person the villains think is the main character, but is Not.”

Aragorn seems like a traditional King Arthur style hero— he has huge Main Character Energy because he’s supported by destiny, by bloodline, by all these magic artifacts and prophecies, and etc etc. Frodo and Sam are Just Some Guys. Aragorn recognizes that Sauron understandably thinks he’s the main hero of this story ….and he pretends to believe it too, spending the entire series using himself as a diversion to prevent Sauron from seeing Frodo and Sam.

Aragorn’s whole thing is that knows he seems like the Main Hero of this legend to people who don’t know better —- but he also knows that he isn’t, and that his role is just to keep Sauron’s eye on him in order to protect the people around him.

And it works! Sauron is so fixated on defeating his Legendary Destined Archenemy with Extreme Main Character Energy that he completely overlooks the two ordinary little guys who were the real threat to him all along.

Experimenting with a bit of a different room set up. I moved the small bookshelves to new spots, and brought in my plant shelf. We’ll see how I end up liking it!

"Stay at home girlfriend" You are a human pet to him, a cat he can fuck, I never see tiktok/youtube stay at home girlfriends writing novel, traveling and playing video games or any fun exciting leisure activities you can do without a job. They aren't taking advantage of these rich loser men, they are all cooking instagramable green meals, cleaning, exercising on treadmills like hamsters and performing lengthy boring beauty rituals. Girl you have a wealthy benefactor and you are unemployed, become obsessed with videogames, make a indie film on his dime, write a genius manifesto, and gain 50 pounds and see if he won't kick you out. He wants your life empty and curated around him. Soon you'll started being driven mad by that pesky yellow wallpaper.
