#lord the way they love each other

[matiasthecamilion]

Sam loves Frodo so openly, he feels devotion and affection for him. He always is and will always be the perfect example of what Sam believes is kindness and intelligence.

Sam loves him so tenderly that he can barely keep it on his chest, that he can barely shut it up, and that he can barely allow him to leave his side.

Frodo loves Sam so deeply that he can barely say it, values ​​him so sweetly that he can hardly imagine that he feels the same.

Frodo loves him so much that he wants to keep Sam away from him, he wants to prevent him from suffering any harm because of him, from dying because of him. He loves him so much that his voice and the refuge on his arms feels like the tenderest dream, what home means to him.

Existing in more than one fandom space is like having more than one group of friends but both of them being so wildly different that any overlap at all would be like getting shot in the head

#like there are things that I would consider writing for House MD or Saw but not for Lord of the Rings you know #Same goes for reading #it's like how you have two personalities for your friend groups #and you make a joke that would absolutely score in friend group A #but friend group B just stares at you weird #like in LOTR or The Hobbit fandom I am so used to gentleness and care all around #Characters that love each other against the odds #but with House it's like #yeah these two men hate each other with everything they're worth #yeah they're so codependent that they would literally die for each other #yeah they have freaknasty sex on the regular #yeah i would talk for hours about their omegaverse dynamic #then saw is kind of similar to House in a few ways but fundamentally different because the love there is borne from such tragedy #or in AUs it's love at first sight #and you have these two men who are so so so different #and want desperately to take care of each other #THOSE DYNAMICS DON'T WORK FOR HOUSE OR FOR THE HOBBIT #I would never write House and Wilson lovey-dovey and caring just like I would never write Thorin and Bilbo engaging in pet-play #Anyway. anyway. #hilson #house md #thilbo #the hobbit #Saw #sawposting #chainshipping #fandom

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #molly o'shea #lyrics from sun bleached flies by ethel cain #more catholic imagery for this molly Monday #I started doing this as a bit but I cannot stop now I’ve been doing it for too long #I’ve drawn her over 100 times also #fanart #digital art #my art #molly’s religion is just very interesting to me #especially with how she references it in her monologue #when she asks Dutch who made him the lord God almighty #and the way that she and Swanson are often placed near each other #and how he recovers and she gets worse as the game goes along #I have a lot of thoughts about molly in general but her relationship with her faith is one of the big things #because it’s not really referenced but there’s plenty of way to interpret it #especially how it relates to her relationship and the way she views the people around her #she’s so interesting I love her so much

i love starmora so much like their gradual shift across gotg vol. 3 absolutely decimated me lol

like. “you know, i’m still not who you want me to be” “oh, i know. but who you are ain’t so bad.” the way she smiles at him??????? followed by (once she’s stepped past him, a moment of hesitation, this inch of themselves they can let be real offerings without having to be completely bare) “i bet we were fun” and his little “like you wouldn’t believe” i am ruined!!!!!!!!

#gotg v3 #gotg3 #gotg vol 3 #gamora #peter quill #starmora #sorry for the endless tags i am just covering my bases so blacklists work #but GOD i am like. destroyed. lmao #genuinely think this is the most fascinating route they could have taken after endgame #instead of trying to return gamora to who she first was #this is a movie about finding yourself and finding your home and like #the thesis about guardians vol 2 was finding your family and finding it in each other #but homes are not families. your home shouldn’t be in someone else #and they’re never going to be the people they once were. quill can’t love himself bc of the way he was in her eyes anymore #now he has to find something else. the way she has. now he has to find HIMSELF #and the legendary star-lord will return. and maybe when he does‚ they’ll still surprise each other in the small soft ways like they did #in this film #every little time they defy each other’s worst or most exasperated expectations in this movie and trade small smiles it made me feral lmao

i have a paper to write but. i cannot stop thinking about musa and stella. their dynamic is SO underrated…

they both have such strong personalities except musa is a lot more understated and subtle while stella is more exuberant and outgoing!! but in a subversion of expectations, stella is so down to support musa being in the spotlight — like in their s2 red fountain performance where stella did backup vocals/dancing while musa sang her heart out.

they both have familial issues & come from very different backgrounds, which simultaneously threads them together through a commonality and then sets them apart. for example, they both understand somewhat unconventional family dynamics and the absence of a parent, their mothers. stella’s parents were so busy arguing and just generally being unhappy in their relationship that they overlooked stella and how they made her feel and how their actions affected her. the loss of stella’s mother in her life is something we can infer that stella has had very little room to openly discuss with her parents, and so she has all of these internalized and idealized hopes for a future that we know will never come to pass. but she’s navigating these feelings without proper support from luna and radius. similarly, after musa’s mother’s passing, musa’s father reacted to his grief without taking into account how these events affected musa. ho-boe blamed music for matlin’s passing and so he rejected it completely, imposing that will upon musa and straining their relationship because of it. musa’s only avenue of feeling close with her mother is through music, but her feelings are disregarded and so she has to navigate this relationship with music and also her late mother all on her own.

however, for stella, she is a princess and her parents are merely divorced; so, although she rarely sees her mom and her parents don’t get along, she still has the option to go see her. i think you could say, on top of needing to be charismatic and charming as a leader, stella’s exuberant personality might’ve developed as a result of her wanting more of her parents’ attention, to be seen and understood by them. i think the 4kids dub may say otherwise, but i think it’s fairly clear that musa comes from a more modest background. and contrastingly to stella, musa has completely lost her mother and so their connection is almost…spiritual? and introspective. without her father’s guidance and understanding, musa would more have to retreat into herself. still, both of them are individuals with strong senses of self—their specific familial situations have simply informed their coping strategies and the personalities they’ve developed.

with or without that background in mind, i also just love the way stella and musa’s personalities play off of each other! because of their strong personalities, they’re prone to disagreement and small clashes. musa’s more sensitive, while stella is—although well-intentioned—more thoughtless with her words. i find musa to be more measured, but perhaps equally as blunt at times. these personality differences might result in small but realistic bumps and tiffs within their friendship, but they also have a shared understanding of one another that gives their relationship a strong foundation. and again, despite musa seeming more chill and stella seeming more prone to wanting the spotlight, stella is absolutely musa’s cheerleader!

#textp #winx club #stella #musa #and i just think in terms of fic this is such a fun dynamic to write #they feel like such real teenage girls #just stella maybe saying something that rubs musa the wrong way #musa snapping a little #them just getting on each other’s nerves #but ultimately understanding each other and loving each other #and learning how to navigate the minefields of each other’s emotions and triggers #i really need to write my fucking paper good lord #BUT THEY <3 #also it’s 4am so i do not think this is coherent at all

One of my greatest wishes for Book 3 is for Mal to start telling contessa stories again for a very specific reason.

Picture this- Mal is several minutes into a story about some contessa he made up and definitely seduced when he realizes Aerin is starting to smirk at him. That's when Mal remembers that (former prince) Aerin could absolutely fact check him. Mal quickly tries to end the story and redirect everyone's attention, but Aerin's got his number now and keeps asking very specific, leading questions about these definitely real contessas. Aerin eventually drops it, before quietly giving Mal shit about it for the rest of the adventure.

I also think that given the whole 'escaped criminal wanted for treason' thing, Aerin should at some point need to use a fake name. And I fully expect either Mal or MC to casually introduce him as Kelvin Gillbottle while everyone tries so hard not to lose it laughing.

#I just love Mal's commitment to the bit #And the way that Aerin very specifically sets you up about Lord Gillbottle before cutting you off with 'with a snort' #I basically want the party to be 80% giving each other shit and 20% heartbreaking sincerity and vulnerability #I wrote snippets of all the LIs hooking up and now I kind of ship all of them- help! #I know that Mal has chemistry with everyone but damn I think he and Aerin would be so obnoxious together in the best way #choices bolas #blades of light and shadow #blades of light and shadow 2 #aerin valleros #mal valori

it’s the energy of the cool AND the kind boy showing up to your party and just the way it changes everything

#Ryan was in an easier position than Margot because he didn’t have all the pressure on him and WAS allowed to be the second lead #which means he was in the position to steal the show #and DID do that #I think it’s so fair to acknowledge that. but also I just love how he makes it so much more fun for them because he’s there! #it goes both ways. liv tyler showing up in the all male lord of the rings stories and being such a shot of light #but the point is: we need each other! #and yeah it’s beautiful to see him being so fun and making it all so fun and celebrating it. of course that’s the part that rings truest #Barbie discourse sorry (sort of) #these thoughts are connected but I have done a terrible job explaining how they are and my 15 minutes of tumblr are up lol #so I hope any of this makes sense #LOL

Rose: flirts with Adam, a genius who’d give anything to travel among the stars, who reminds Rose of the Doctor when he talks about how clever he is and how fantastic it was to hack some US system

Rose: *oblivious as to why she’s really attracted to Adam*

Nine: sees Rose flirting with Jack, hears her say the words “I trust him because he's like you. Except with dating and dancing”

Nine: *oblivious as to why she’s really attracted to Jack*

Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Non-Canon) - Madame Drakkon & The Ranger Slayer

In another timeline, the Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was much, much less of a rise.

(Rise' World of the Coinless deets under the cut, i'm having fun)

In another timeline, Rita's attack on Grace Oliver left her severely injured and near death. This threw Tommy into a fit, which forced the shadow out of her body in an incredibly traumatic and painful manner. Desperate, she pleaded with Zordon to help her mother, but the White Light confirmed her fears. Grace was gone.

Unstable and still reeling from Rita being ripped from her body, Tommy would seek out where the shadow was hiding, tracking her down to an abandoned warehouse on the docks. She would witness the partial resurrection of Lord Zedd and barge in, demanding the Dark Spectre bring her mother back. The Spectre agreed, on the condition that the Green Ranger help him recover the other five Power Coins and reunite the Zeo Crystal.

Over the next few months, Tommy would slowly lose more and more of herself as she pursued more power and learned dark magic from a weakened Rita inhabiting the body of Dr. Finster. A final assault against the Rangers would see Jason attempt to combine the spectrum of the team's powers to become a White Ranger, only to be struck down by Tommy. She would claim the coins for herself, corrupting and forcing the coins into her own White Ranger form.

Zedd and Tommy, with their combined powers and now endless source of energy, would then conquer the Earth unopposed. But as more time went on without Zedd's promise fulfilled, the more Tommy began plotting to overthrow the Dark Spectre. She's be encouraged by Rita, now unable to leave Dr. Finster's deteriorating body and kept alive with salvaged parts from the destroyed Command Center.

As the last of Earth's defenders fell, Tommy struck down Zedd with the Black Dragon Saber, laying claim to his seventh Zeo Crystal shard and the planet and taking the name Madame Drakkon.

Years later, tired of her friends being captured or dying and at her wit's end, Kimberly Hart would decide today is the day Drakkon dies. But she would be captured, her mind taken over with a spell Drakkon had been perfecting for some time, and become her right hand with her old Power Coin as the Slayer Ranger.

Kimberly would later break the spell with the help of the Coinless Resistance, who'd been built by the combined efforts of Trini, Richie, Bulk and Skull. She'd then lead the Resistance against Madame Drakkon's regime, taking on the name Ranger Slayer as a symbol of her goal to slay the last Ranger on Earth.

#rotmmpr #mmpr #power rangers #lord drakkon #ranger slayer #tommy oliver #kimberly hart #my art #drew like a dark fucked up version of my funnie power rangers au. just a glimpse into my dark reality. #when ur kinda gf from high school casts a mind control spell you and then later the spell is broken by your remaining living friends #so now u have a fucked up ''still care about each other in some strange way but ure so deeply traumatized and on different sides of a war'' #type of relationship that is so toxic but in a sexy way and also youre both women in your 30s #it was fun to try to do a drakkon-style helmet without overt white ranger elements since that coin doesnt exist in rise' universe!! #also truly did not change much about rise slayer in comarison to canon bc like. she is perfect already #only real diff is that i made the cape a desaturated green for obv reasons #and added lil straps to the pauldron #otherwise yep. thats ranger slayer #anyway they should kiss and makeup. something that is both possible and completely normal #i imagine there'd be something that'd unite them and then they'd be forced to team up and HATE it #(or kim would. as usual drakkon would love it) #and then they'd have angry hate se- /blasted by lasers #rise coinless au

Being a queer LOTR fan and trying to explain that you don’t ship Sam and Frodo romantically is so hard to explain. Yes I see what you see and I am interpreting it differently.

#this is no hate bc I adore y’all and you guys are so so valid my loves #Sam and Frodo do love each other ofc #I just really enjoy them in a non romantic way? #LOTR #lord of the rings #frodo baggins #samwise gamgee #oh my gosh he’s so queute!

gestures wildly. it's about crafting a legend out of a living person. how the Ghost is something your friend made up on the spot to make you look cool, but then it slowly starts taking over your life. until you forget everything you believed to be true. until everyone you loved is gone. your clan is disbanded, your uncle disowns you, you have gone from a honorable nobleman to a wanted outlaw. BUT you did it for love - for the fact that you love your people and your island so deeply that you're willing to sacrifice your entire existence for them. it's not something any of their leaders have ever given them, and they see it, so they start turning to you more and more, telling about their encounters with you around survivor campfires, spinning tales until you are a seven-foot-tall monster who has risen from the dead to save them. you no longer belong only to your loved ones. you now belong to the entire island, and you will stay theirs.

#watched a few of my fav cutscenes again and good lord. the SYMBOLISM IN THE MUSIC #THE WAY THE GAME STARTS OUT WITH JIN'S THEME BUT THEN SLOWLY THE GHOST'S THEME KEEPS CREEPING IN #THE WAY OF THE GHOST PLAYING AT THE END OF ACT 2 WHEN YOU DISCARD YOUR IDENTITY AS JIN SAKAI. #the way they are so similar to each other.... bc like. jin IS the ghost. he is still the same calm kind loving guy. #but now he is BLOODY and VENGEFUL and MURDEROUS. WONDERFUL. FANTASTIC. LOVELY #it sort of reminded me of botw with the ''you're falling in love with the country you're saving'' thing #you become one of the people but also one with the island. you fall in love with what your uncle sees as his right. #you start ighting for it not because it is your duty or because it owes you loyalty. you just love it too much to let it burn. #i should really make this a liveblog i am losing my mind over this game #tsushima liveblog #i now have another reason to hate tlou2: IT SNUBBED THIS GAME IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY IT COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED IT #i saw a yt comment that was like ''you have the woke crowd to thank for that'' and im like #TSUSHIMA IS WOKE AF WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT'S SOOOOOOOO AMAZING BJVSKDBVKSABK
