Cute couples costume idea: fell werewolf servant of the Dark Lord and the hideous she-vampyre of Thangorodrim.

I must not engage in the discourse. The discourse is the peace killer. It is the little disturbance that brings total rage. I will face the discourse. I will allow it to pass over me and around me, and when it is gone, I will turn to see that I have not spoken of it. Only my sanity will remain.

#litany against trolls #dune #be the lack of discourse you want to see in the world #convoswithmoystarushka #even now I'm fighting the urge #I will NOT tag this with the discourses I hate #Only my sanity will remain #textpostsbymellpen

I love how for like, half of Two Towers, book!Legolas' job is just Glorified Telescope™️

Aragorn's one "What do your elf eyes see" comment in the movies really doesn't do justice to the number of times someone comes up to Legolas in TTT and goes "hey, you're an elf, can you tell me what's going on like, five miles away?" and he just fricken tells them. Every time.

Tolkien really said that shying away from deus ex machina was for wimps.

The Hobbit: The dragon has been defeated! But wait a second, now Thorin hates Bilbo and all the good guys are about to fight over the hoard... Hey look! It's goblins! And a giant humanoid bear! And eagles!

Lord of the Rings: Frodo and Sam have gotten to the mountain, but the Ring has taken Frodo, and the armies of Men are being overwhelmed... Hey look! It's Gollum! And Eagles!!

The Silmarillion: Literally Everything is Terrible and Everyone is About to Die....... Hey LOOK! It's the Valar! And Eärendil!! AND WOULDJA LOOK AT THAT IT'S EAGLES!!!

Jane Austen: and here we have the love interest. He might have some issues, but once you get to know him, he's a great guy. Good looking, heart of gold, the works.

Charlotte Brontë: get ready for the weirdest man you have ever met.

Saw @boigameista's frog pattern and immediately knew that one of my friends needed 12 for Christmas. Fabrics chosen to make 3 frogs for each season! Thank you so much for making this pattern available! It took me a while, but I had a blast.

2023 Version!

I did a watch-through of the Infinity Saga in 2023, and my opinions changed only slightly, but I thought I would show the difference. (For reference, Ragnarok is still off the scale to the left, I just actually centered the graph, so I had to move it.)

I saw someone propose this media alignment chart, and as someone who’s had a personal ranking of the MCU for some time now, I had to try it out.

Autumn is when you can be a brave literary heroine with her nose turned toward the brisk east wind and you can be a small woodland animal baking bread and making stew in your Beatrix Potter tree trunk house and you can be a child grabbing fistfuls of candy and stashing them in your room and you can be exactly who you are in your cardigan at twilight sipping hot apple cider while the storm pulls the orange leaves from the trees in your front yard

“I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory; I love only that which they defend.”

"There is happiness

Past the blood and bruise Past the curses and cries Beyond the terror in the nightfall Haunted by the look in my eyes That would've loved you for a lifetime

Leave it all behind And there is happiness"

Can I just say that I greatly appreciate how all the Christians of Tumblr have coagulated into one big group (despite being vastly outnumbered on the site) and at this point even have enough cohesion to achieve relative notoriety and nobody else on the site knows what to do with us

#yes!!!! #I'm so thankful for you guys #I'll have you know that this is the first and only thing I've reblogged #a great campaign of sabotage

A Ranking of Jane Austen Heroines, in Ascending Order of Culpability

Fanny (Mansfield Park): Has done nothing wrong ever in her life (but would never say this as she is far too humble).

Elinor (S&S): Must have scoliosis from carrying the whole weight of the Dashwood family at the ripe old age of 19. Should probably have asked for help by now, but who's she going to ask? Her mother? Unlikely.

Anne (Persuasion): Pros: is the only functioning member of her family. Cons: took some really bad advice when she was 17.

Elizabeth (P&P): So dead-set on hating Mr. Darcy that she falls hook-line-and-sinker for the lies Wickham tells her with no questions asked. Otherwise has good sense.

Marianne (S&S): Throws herself headlong into the Romantic Experience™️ and gets her heart broken by a playboy when Colonel Brandon is literally RIGHT THERE. 

Catherine (Northanger Abbey): Good-hearted, but easily led astray. So obsessed with Gothic novels that she kind of accuses Mr. Tilney's father of murdering his wife and burying her in the basement.

Emma (Emma): Tells Harriet to refuse the nice guy she likes, too prideful to see that Mr. Elton is pursuing her instead of Harriet, gossips about Jane Fairfax, feels like the rules don't apply to her, won't listen to Mr. Knightly. Is a menace.
