#ok ok but i'm willing to explain i think that they're both very idealistic in different ways like ???? es is more of the way of thinking an #“milgram this milgram that” like everything they do is entirely dependent on milgram and uhhh idk sobs they use it #as an excuse sometimes but like ???? are also kinda hypocritical ngl and kinda act like a bit of an asshole but it's ok i support them #meanwhile bronya is more ??? how do i explain this like they're very self sacrificing in the way that they don;t really think much about #itself whenever they do anything like i feel like a lot of this also comes from their childhood which was kinda shit i wanna give bun a hug #:[[[[ #both of them make me very sad actually why are they my comfort characters again #OH GOD I WROTE AN ENTIRE ESSAY I DIDN'T NOTICE head in hands #whatever #uh #tags #right #bronya zaychik #es milgram #honkai #milgram #oh gandalf is also there #bronya is giving gandalf her cracker look at them go :33 #THE TAGS GOT MESSED UP WAIT #all my stuff is for a very specific target audience ( me it's me it's the es and bronya fan )

Name Etymologies of Middle-Earth: Gandalf

“Yes, yes, my dear sir—and I do know your name, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. And you do know my name, though you don’t remember that I belong to it. I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me!”

― The Hobbit, Chapter I: An Unexpected Party

Au in which the elves, or at least legolas and thranduil and such, don’t treat Gandalf like an old man, and more like an age mate(?).

Listen, we all know that gandalf isn’t actually an old man, that he’s a maia in disguise, but bc he take the form of an old man, people treat him in such a way you would treat an old man.

It really fucks with people’s perception, even the ones who know he’s not an old man in the traditional sense can’t help but treat him like an elderly person.

Except the elves, well, some of them.

Imagine legolas just mindlessly throwing supplies at gandalf during the quest the way he would at a fellow soldier and the rest of the questers feeling like there’s something distinctly not right about treating gandalf in a manner similar to a middle aged adult, but also knowing that gandalf is not actually an old man.

Legolas teasing and ribbing gandalf in such a way that’s not like mentor/mentee / adult/child, etc. But more like a pair of warriors on a scouting mission and it fucks with everyone else’s perception of reality so much because yes, but also no?!??

Just legolas treating gandalf less like the old man he pretends to be (and the minor god he is) and more like a same aged fellow warrior and it’s messing with everyone who has to witness it.

#would this ever happen in canon? probably not #do i still laugh myself sick at the possibility?yes #gandalf looking like an old man has such an affect on how people treat him #A+ deception #and then you have the elves who aren’t fooled in the slightest #do you know how many old men theykve had to interact with that were still fetuses compared to them? #so many. #gandalf’s old man act has no affect on them #legolas just gen doesn’t give a shit #and finds the way it fucks with the questers lowkey amusing #i am also once again getting gandalf x legolas vibes from this post. oh well #lord of the rings #lotr #silmarillion #lotr elves #the hobbit #legolas #gandalf #legolas x gandalf #the 9 walkers #fellowship of the ring

Another post just reminded me of an important PSA

Sokka is a better Ron Weasley and Xander Harris than Ron Weasley and Xander Harris ever were

Katara is a better Hermione Granger and Willow Rosenberg than Hermione Granger and Willow Rosenberg ever were

Zuko is a better Draco Malfoy than Draco Malfoy ever was canonically, but Spike is pretty great, even though yes, okay, we know, Zuko's redemption arc will always be superior

fight me

#harry potter #avatar the last airbender #buffy the vampire slayer #sokka is also superior to han solo #but we can't go around saying katara is better than leia even though she is #and it's also hard to say that zuko is better than darth vader even though he is #like luke skywalker is a very special boy; it's not fair to compare completely different canons why would you do that #sokka is not a better samwise gamgee than samwise; on that they're pretty even #is the katara equivalent in lotr legolas hahaha just the best at everything and severely OP I guess it's true #gollum is a pretty good darth vader!!! but still no zuko #gandalf is obviously the superior dumbledore but has sincere rivalry with iroh #who am i kidding no one beats iroh? #but gandalf and obi wan could have some pretty great tea with giles #who am i missing #oh emperor palpatine voldemort firelord ozai sauron who cares about them. The Mayor probably cares about them. That's who #lan wangji is the new legolas katara hermione leia pass it on

Consider: A "ghost of Feanor in LotR" fanfic, but instead of, say, Elrond, it is Gimli who can perceive the ghost.

#only him maybe not even Gandalf #def not Galadriel #also consider Feanor had never seen a dwarf before which makes it even more hilarious #why? Aule's sense of humor #Aule invited Namo to taste his new whiskey invention and that was the result #that explains the “let's swear an oath” #and the hair #oh the hair! #how to write the hair so that Feanaro has the last laugh and not his niece #deal: Feanaro gets the hair Gimli gets less criticism #also that's why Gimli could sail #(he told Legolas eventually but after LotR) #something something boast and kinslaying puns #I need this fic #please someone write it #silm crack #silm fic ideas #silm #feanor #gimli #lotr #lotr crack

I am, in general, a SUCKER for the concept that the Story ended poorly the first time around but then someone in the younger generation comes back to the Story, years later, and REOPENS the narrative to bring the people who didn't make it out the first time HOME.

#this is the twelve ravens/twelve brothers story again and it is also gravity falls #also that gandalf quote about how he will not have fully failed in his task if ANYTHING survives the coming darkness and may bloom again #it's a Vibe is what it is #oh! also obviously it's star wars. luke skywalker poster child of Dragging His Family Out Of The Tragedy's Grasp #and a lot of kids's stories. facing the Dark Family Secrets and FIXING them is a fantastic arc when executed nicely

Me for several years: worst part of being single is I can't do couples cosplay

Me in my twenties realizing that I can just have tall friends to couples cosplay with me: >:)

#very fun at comic con last year to have a friend the same height as me and a tall friend cosplay together #the tall friend was big naturals gandalf i was big naturals samwise and my friend was small naturals frodo #funniest part of it was that everyone was like oh my god! big naturals gandalf! and completely regular Samwise! #also dear VERY GOOD aragorn cosplayer that heard of us around the con and was so excited to see us: hey are you free next thursday?

Gandalf having to stop Merry from infodumping about smoking weed to King Théoden while he and the entire army of Rohan are standing there waiting to hear why the fuck Isengard has suddenly been flooded and destroyed has to be one of the funniest moments in this whole trilogy 😭

I just saw this in the tags of a post and felt my body crumble into dust and blow away:

Yes, I am an old.

#shitposting #shitpost #oh god I'm so old #livejournal #I was there Gandalf #oh wait #come to think of it #my mom did also have an LJ account #but like #she was about 50 back then too #like I am now #fuck I'm old

Alright! It's almost ready! My beta testers are currently helping the finishing touches of Cards Against Hobbits (i think i'll call it that... I'll do a poll I guess) and I'm almost ready to put it out. After I finish reading the Silmarillion I'll put out the expansion pack. Idk when that will be. BUT I'm hoping Cards Against LOTR will be out this week, hopefully so you guys can purchase it with my birthday promo code discount! I'll do a hobbit gift thing (hopefully lol). Anyway, love y'all, and hope this gets on Etsy soon!

#y'all it's very fun so far #also just warning you while it isn't like... vulgar like the original it's got some wild cards #like 'a debate on whether or not gandalf and radagast are stoners' and 'saruman's evil manicure' #because have you seen those nails #man went to the salon and was like 'make my nails look evil' #lotr #lord of the rings #cards against humanity #tolkien #the hobbit #oh yeah there's the hobbit stuff in there as well #a card from that one is 'skinny dipping in elrond's fountains'

had a dream i died a horrible and mysterious death but was isekaid as a little bunny furry thing with a cape living in some peaceful hobbit-like fantasy hamlet where i had a goat and also my name was witherworth for some reason. it was awesome

#like. i was busy being this bunny thing until i through a series of supernatural phenomena learned i had actually died #then i was in some limbo-esque in between thing where i was given the choice to be reincarnated as some super successful person #and i was like. umm actually if its ok id rather just keep being a bunny over here it was cool #and the being who i guess was in charge? was like do you have any idea how stupid that is. whats wrong with you #you were nothing in your past life and died a horrible death and your family never found out what happened to you #and instead of being reincarnated and being able to live the opposite of that youd rather be a bunny over in hobbitville???? #i was like. um yea lol? #thats when i got to learn how i died too. and that nobody ever found out how and i just disappeared #and i got to like... talk to my living relatives and say goodbye i guess. except they were like oh hi lol Um we kinda forgot about all that #and anyway. then i went back to being a rabbit thing with fire magic and 1 goat named burnt toast #i lived in one of them little hobbit holes....... gandalf was there also we were pals and that was cool #so anyway. good dream for the most part hehe ^__^ #skenps dreamland

friend and i have fought our way kicking and screaming almost to the end of s8... only 3 eps to go... we are stronger than the marines

we were rewarded with the curious case of bartholomew allen which is one of the 2-3 good eps of s8. it's the one where barry gets whammied with an "old" gun that ages him into an old man (sadly only on the inside bc the cw are cowards, though they do give him a lil salt and pepper in his hair as a treat)

he spends the episode hobbling around, suffering with arthritis (grant does some very good physical acting cos i could FEEL how stiff this man was) and the ep starts off playing it for laughs like haha he's an old man now!! but then slowly descends into top-tier angst as barry starts to lose his powers and experiences memory issues that culminate in cecile finding him wandering helplessly around the star labs corridors looking lost because he has no idea where he is. he's stiff and tired and his hands won't stop shaking. and he's scared and iris is still missing and he's afraid that he won't be able to remember her and he'll never see her again and it's soooo good. the resolution is a bit wonky but everything that leads up to it is so fantastic that i'll forgive it

and also barry finds out that caitlin is holed up in her apartment in her very own mad scientist lab attempting to resurrect frost by splicing bits of her own DNA with hair she obtained by digging up frost's corpse, so he destroys the lab in a lightning storm and then flees, leaving her cowering alone in the shattered remains of her fucked up death experiment

also they all play D&D and joe has a fight with a roomba

#helen's flash rewatch #my friend was so mad they were playing D&D while iris is missing #which like. fair. i have said many times that season 1 barry would break season 8 barry's kneecaps with a hammer if he saw this behaviour #but at this point im like yeah i know but look. joe is dressed as gandalf #also we were sooo baffled by the sideplot of joe and captain singh trying to work out how to set up the robot vacuum #until i had a moment of clarity and was like oh god. this is product placement isn't it
