one of my favorite lotr facts is that gondorians speak sindarin as a first language and yet when faramir was talking to frodo and sam about cirith ungol he was like “we don’t know what’s in there.” like faramir. cirith ungol is sindarin for “pass of the spider.” do the math
pisses me off when people get upset that someone posts art that They don't think looks good enough. like the artist is posting art for Free fuck off. you GET to LOOK AT IT for FREE. you can just Not Look.
[In continuation of our pride month celebration today we’re gonna talk about Amelio Robles, one of the earliest transgender figures in Latin America. Amelio was born in Xochipala, Guerrero, Mexico in 1889 and was assigned female at birth. And from a young age it is said that Amelio showed interest in “masculine” activities such as taming horses and handling weapons. And that he even confessed to a close family member, when he was younger, that he felt he was a boy.
Then came the Mexican Revolutionary War in 1910, in which many women joined and fought were known as the Adelitas. And many of these women chose to take on male aliases to protect themselves. And Amelio chose to take on a male alias as well. And Amelio became extremely respected in the army for his leadership skills, eventually working his way up to colonel.
He was respected by his peers and his superiors. And even long after the war ended, Amelio continued to live his life as a man. And he was loved by the Mexican people for being a military hero and his male identity was accepted by family, society, and the Mexican government.
And in 1973 he was awarded the Mexican Legion of Honor, an award that is given to veterans who made outstanding efforts to defend Mexico. He also met and married Ángela Torres and they adopted a daughter together. He passed away in 1984 at age 95. And his legacy lives on as one of the earliest accepted transgender figures in Latin America.]
