Been sitting on this for a while now but I had to shelve my thesis project Blackbird😮💨 BUT in its stead I’ll be doing Lapdog, not as scary but funny. I did all that work for Blackbird but it’s for the best.
the lord of the rings is so honest. so raw. so sincere. so unabashedly from the heart. no snide fourth wall jokes, no attempts to alleviate the heaviness. it is is wholeheartedly earnest in its dedication to portraying hope and love and faith and loyalty and courage, and that is what makes it feel like home to so many of us. it's true to itself. it doesn't pretend to be cool and care less. it cares, a lot, and that is a rare, beautiful thing. it warms our hearts to care for a piece of fiction that was made to care about and be cared about
