Wait but I wanna hear the unpopular (but correct) opinions about LotR! (No worries if you genuinely don't want to share!)

hi anon!! 😙 thank you for asking 💐🌷💕☺️SADLY most of my opinions are just a response to some take i saw on my pinterest explore page that i personally didnt agree with… im gonna put it under the cut so if this ends up in any tag i wont spam anyone bc its not like different interpretations of characters/text do any harm etc etc its gonna be a long, incoherent rant, without any formatting since im on mobile, so, um watch out :,) also please dont reblog

i really really dislike what feels like majority of the interpretation of the legolas/gimli relationship, like the way people portray them is sooo weird…the constant mutual antagonizing and the focus on bickering!!!! its another movie adaptation thing, because those removed most, if not all tenderness from them (the miniscule gay budget got used up for sam & frodo i guess). the appeal of gimli and legolas is not that they bicker the appeal is that they love eachother so much despite the general tensions between their peoples (although im not a fan of those tensions being overplayed for dramatics) and despite erus prophecy that there would always be conflict between elves and dwarves!!!!!!!!!!

i dislike the common fanon/movie portrayal of gimli but i think ive actually talked enough about that so im gonna talk about legolas because i also disagree with the common interpretations his character seems to find, although it doesnt bother me as much as with gimli, mostly because people still think hes cool. ANYWAYS! i think painting legolas as super hair- and beauty-obsessed (to the point of it bordering on homophobia) was luckily mostly left in the past, though pinterest still bombards me with bad memes, but i still really hate it 😒 another common thing ive seen, thats also more current, is legolas as an idiot who eats bugs or whatever which IS more fun than the first one and also closer to his book-self but i still dislike it simply because i hate when a happy/optimistic character gets headcanoned as being stupid…its unappealing and boring and i dont think its implied anywhere that legolas is exceptionally dumb :( i do like weird kid legolas a lot though hes special to me <3.

anyways since were on the topic of legolas lets talk about his family since thats another fandom/HOBBIT MOVIES favorite to distort! legolas mother is very very likely a silvan elf and very likely not dead in my opinion . i personally think silvan elves are neutral/if not positively inclined towards dwarves 👍 dont like the common fanon of extreme hatred that was taught to legolas by his parents and also dont dont dont like fanon thranduil & everything the hobbit movies made him out to be!!!!!!! i dont doubt that thranduil had some ill will towards dwarves since the whole thingol slaying and doriath thing… but thranduil is canonically a very good king and very kind, and i dont think he would let a grudge against a specific dwarf clan define his relations to a neighbouring kingdom that doesnt even belong to the same clan!!! someone who kept his kingdom save and out of trouble for so long and also has the closest relations to their neighbouring kingdom of men out of all the elven realms would be better than that and atleast be neutral and not hostile sorry this wasnt meant to be about the hobbit movies but i could go ON a out them i cant see legolas in those without laughing at him dear god. the implication that legolas, who supposedly hated dwarves, shared a horse with gimli and then was a changed man is very funny though.

also, since im going off on a tangent anyways, i think mîm didnt do anything wrong and also thingol and the dwarven smiths were both at fault for the conflict. sorry for the dwarf bias but someone has to be on their side because i still see too many people hating on them

back to lotr: i think blond blue eyed legolas is boring, i hate what they did to elrond and boromir in the movies, i think saruman and sauron being basically brothers is a very funny interpretation that we should talk about more and i hateee almost all modern lotr aus because its hars to replicaze into modern world and also aragorn would NOT be a CEO!!!!!!!!!! a good king in tolkienverse is benevolent and puts his subjects first and he is a healer. (and this idolized king figure is, of course, not historically accurate) a CEO IS NOT THE MODERN EQUIVALENT TO THAT!!!!!!! modern aragorn either sells weed, is a nurse, or a mailman more i will not say on this matter. also i hate when modern aus cut everyones hair/beard. stop!!!!!! this reminds me of the one time i saw like a college au on pinterest and it was like. gimli and legolas are forced to be roommates and legolas is disgusted by gimli being sooo dirty… HELLO? you people exhaust me………… restraining myself to go on another gimli tirade because i feel like ive done that so much and all my followers will know whats up you guys get me right yeah yeah yeah

oh about legolas and gimli/mirkwood and erebor again, sorry im a one trick pony, i think that both thranduil & unnamed wife as well as gloin & unnamed wife love their kids too much to truly oppose them being together. gloin may be hotheaded but hes not stubborn enough to not ever back down, see the council of elrond: hes mad, rightfully so, to find out that a servant of mordor was apprentely treated better as a prisoner than thorin & company but seeing as the responsible party, thranduil, is not even there, and how theres very important business to discuss he quickly backs down and even bows to legolas as an apology!!!!

[„You were less tender to me,“ said Glóin with a flash of his eyes, as old memories were stirred of his imprisonment in the deep places of the Elven-king’s halls. „Now come!“ said Gandalf. „Pray, do not interrupt, my good Glóin. That was a regrettable misunderstanding, long set right. If all the grievances that stand between Elves and Dwarves are to be brought up here, we may as well abandon this Council.“ Glóin rose and bowed, and Legolas continued.]

i tried to find out if we know how long exactly the dwarves were imprisoned, and it seems it was about 20 days, while gollum was there for around 90 days, so perhaps they would have let the dwarves get some fresh hair eventually as well . not that gloin wasnt rightfully angry, he was! and still very gracious about it . love gloin hes great

also TRUE unpopular opinion incoming: im neutral on sam/frodo…its cute yes but i dont have any big thoughts about them and i think sam and rosie are very sweet :^) but also i dont trust people who completely dislike it esp cishets…. legolas and gimli are basically canon to me like they did that. okay ready for another TRUE AND REAL unpopular opinion. i think faramir is kind of boring and i dont care much for him, sorry ❤️‍🩹

ok i think im done for now!!! phew!! anon thank you again because this helped me pass like an hour of my very long train ride!!!! <3333

#im open to discussion though and would love to hesr everyones opinions….#ITS SO LONG IM SORRY

Trolls characters as me and m friend's damn shenanigans

part 2

TW: Mentions of death and personal intimate shit, swearing and ED. also arson mention be warned

John Dory: If I'm not on deaths door, I'm fine. actually even if im on deaths door, im simply not going to deaths living room, im staying on his front porch, sitting on the welcome mat.

Every single whack ass troll he knows: BRO THATS NOT HOW IT WORK

(insert border here)

(one of the trolls or bruce's kids): Are yo cereal?

Bruce: no I'm a troll.

(I actually said "no im human" btw)

(border)

Bruce: YOU LITERALLY SENT ME A PRO ANA VIDEO???

Creek or Satin and Chenille (tdau ruined my canon): Me and who?

Floyd: ummm it was a joke

(in order: a friend who had anorexia recovered, me still having an ed tryinh to recover, and the one who sent the vid who got hospitalized for an ed possibly healed too)

(fuckass borders)

Nova Swift: Ur cunt energy is so mother it impregnated me

Branch, Satin, Chenille: cunt so cunt it bred you?????

(bro has no ideas for borders)

John Dory's single, lonely, 50 year old virgin ass: 8 hrs of sleep? more like 8 hours of masturbating!

(10 pm to 5 am, a record.)

(Border)

Any of the brozone brothers: who would win in an oiled up twerk off? Dr Josef Heiter or John Dory, lets discuss. So two old men, one in his 60's one ageless but still very old, ones a doctor, the other a survivalist. Ill be super honest, While john dory has boy band dance knowledge, amd can twerk, dr josef heiter's bones are doing quite well, better than dory's actually, in the movie john complained about a bad back and legs, he may have twerk knowledge but he would crumble and cry in pain once he shakes that behind, with a little demonstration, dr josef heiter befor he died wouldve learned to twerk but refuse to do it, with enough convincing the doctor finally twerks and god he twerks well, but honestly he's an old man, he won the oiled up twerk off and sacrificed his dignity, John Dory lost but god he wins in never giving up because even with his arthritis and old age, he still managed to twerk atleast 5 times to be generous

John Dory: How the fuck did heiter win???

Clay: he has better bones and posture

Floyd: Heiter is older than John Dory?

Branch: obviously, but he has better bones. John Dory is practically gonna crack, like "augh my back" every 5 twerks

(border is so easy to think of)

Barb, cuz ik her ass bullies ppl in comment sections: if u were a pedo w a small dick, fucking kids wont be rape cuz it didnt even enter.

Riff: WHAT THE FUCKKKKK

Barb: I'm sorry rape joke, forgot that was an ick.

(guys i got a border idea)

Cooper: in our cores, we are pop trollcore, since we got colonized by the Pop Tribe

(the real message i sent: in our cores, we are americancore, since we got colonized by the U.S of A)

____________

Branch: i think the reason why jenny died is bcuz of hunger and sickness, the shit out puke back thing 1 and 2 r doing is like only w them the 3rd spot gets nothing

Creek: that is until we starve them all and do a more fucked up human centipede... a human wheel.

____________

Branch: its like if a trainwreck could go into a vagina but it actually went into a butthole but the butthole was actively having diarrhea and the train is on fire and the vagina is waterfalling

____________

Poppy: I had a dream i gave ed sheeran head w someone else

Branch: what?

Poppy: he got some head sheeran.

Branch: WHY DID I KNOW YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT???

___________

Rock and normal poppy: I wont care if we get caught, I'll tell u to run so ur safe while im in death row. I'll let u live cuz we're buddies.

Barb: genuinely id much rather die with u cuz whats the point dude?

Poppy: true.

Barb: life wont be fun anymore

poppy: Well, when or if we get caught, I'd jump into the fire and wait for u whenever ^w^

Welcome Back Yashahime!

Here are my thoughts and opinions on Season 2 Episode 1 (aka ep 25) + speculation 🤗

Summery:

So, I liked...some of the episode but a big chunk of it bothered me. The op was good, and the ed was great! I thought the animation certainly improved and the voice acting (Japanese) was as good as ever.

I'd give it...a 5/10

More specifics on what I enjoyed & Didn't:

Dislikes:

There was alot of time where nothing happens. Towa took way too long to bring Setsuna back. I assume the time was meant to build tension but , for me atleast, it didn't. It just was wasted time that could've been used better. Plus, we already knew Setsuna would be back so...that made it even worse.

Also...since when is there an hour time limit on Tenseiga? ( I know movies aren't generally canon but Yashahime shares alot of plot with movie 3 and....didn't Sesshomaru bring a guy who had been dead for like 200 years back 🤣)

Totosai must have know Setsuna would live. Otherwise fixing her naginata then and there was stupid lol

The horde of demons served as making Setusuna look strong and prove Moroha usless.

I get that Moroha is a comic relief but the whole bit of Totosai and Jaken smacking her around was annoying. Once would've been funny.( Didnt like Jaken smacking her in general , but that's just because I hate Jaken 😒 🤣)

I love Moroha usually, but her whining got on my nerves this episode. Be happy your friends alive and stop crying that a demon you've never met didn't bring you a gift. ( bad writing imo. The scene didn't need comedy here. )

This isn't really the episode fault but I realized how much I hate Towa's outfit yet again 🤣

Also I don't like that Setsuna died, just to be brought back. With no good reason for it. No one and nothing changed as of now because she died. It was just random (however this pov might change based on something I say in the speculation section)

In all it felt like a lot of nothing happened this week:(

What I liked:

The animation

I mostly liked the op, but the ending animation and style was fire, though Moroha's outfit in it...not so much lol

Totosai was the same as he was in the original, and I loved that. He also knew who Moroha was...which was great, seeing as last season we got no one making the connection other than the Higurashi's and Kaede. Thank you Myoga (for once lol)

Sessomaru saying Setsuna and her awakening. I liked that haha , even though it was odd she didn't wake up right away.

Speculation:

So I am wondering if Setsuna dying was part of a plan...after seeing the butterfly fly off her face it made me wonder....did Setsuna have to die for Rin to live. Because of the butterfly.

Speaking of butterfly...thats a different one. So there's 2...I am assuming they're connected somehow. But ones with Setsuna, and ones with Rin.

Closing:

So yeah...I didn't hate the episode, but I didn't love it Either. I'm hoping after this they'll be a lot more to enjoy with the new staff. I'm giving this week a pass because it had to connect a lot with the final from season one!

Score 5/10

I'm looking forward to this season! I am Hoping for more positive feelings on the series & no matter what a fun time with you all🥰🤗

See you soon! 💜💙❤

Snk Positivity Day 6: Love Your Series

Im gonna put this under a read more because I cant think of express my feelings on something without turning it into a full length incoherent ass essay so!!

I’ve been in the snk fandom since I was like 12 lol - Im 16 now so that’s like, five years?? I can still remember like I’d see a lot of gifs n stuff of it going around tumblr and for some reason I just really felt I wouldn’t like it like I had smthing lowkey against it?? But then I decided to watch it one day, n i still remember, I was just chilling on my laptop watching it in the sitting room, my family around me and stuff and goddd it was soo good... but it made me tear up... n bITCH I was NOT! about to cry in the sitting room around my family. I was not! prepared for that. That night I stayed up till possibly 1 or 3am just watching it, I must’ve gotten to like around episode 6 I think? I loved it so much I rlly fell in love, I finished it all in just three days.... three days of which I also went to school and stuff and had to go to my friends party.... bitch i was pissed i didnt even like that person....i just wanted to finish snk lmaooo 😭

Im pretty sure Id spend sm of my time invested in snk and looking through snk tumblrs and stuff and other fandom stuff of it, I loved it so much!!! like!! thats all I did and even then I was still forcing my friends to read/watch it. I was really cringey in 6th class wow lmaoo I would literally go around during break with the snk manga like xD!!! eren is my baby!!! saying shit like that yikes.... bitch first of all hes 4 years older than you...your literally 12.....

Especially then, when I was younger it brought me sm happiness like when little me was going through shit then little insecure young me, you know how people say u use entertainment to escape or whatever, a distraction, idk.... like that was rlly it man idk ho to describe it without sounding weird i swear it was like my main source of happiness omg lol

Almost always, its very rare like I’ll be watching a movie, listening to music, anything like that just consuming some piece of media or literally just like. living my life and I see something and im like. omg snk au in which.... or I just somehow relate it back to snk or some of its characters lol. Like even when I was on holiday in Venice last year I was literally like thinking of a fanfic of like, the 104th on holidays in Venice like how wholesome...

Like I really do love snk I think about it every day without fail, and I honestly think I’ll always always always love it, and even if I don’t, it’s always gonna have a special place in my heart. Like, I liked it since i was literally 12 years old and it helped my through shit and I just have so much good memories associated with it. I honestly rlly do picture myself being like a 40 year old woman and still loving snk but like the fandom is dead or something... 😭 I rlly hope that never happens.....bc that will happen my 40 year old ass will b like boiis whens season 10 coming out ? Like I really hope snk is one of those series that kind of just lives on forever, or atleast for a very long time - Like Harry Potter for example

Okay, all that was really personal and I’d be surprised if anyone is reading this anyway, but I love looking back on it and talking about snk like this, I love it :) Butttt, getting to one of the reasons why I think I might love snk so much, and I mean, I can’t really pin it down why I love it so much, I dont think anyone can pin down EXACTLY why they love something, especially a series, but I think one thing I really like, and it becomes really apparent when I look at other series is like, they have a good balance between male and female characters if that makes sense. Like theres not way more men in the show than there is women, like how it is in some series or like, theres not way more men in the show than there is women, and the female characters in the show aren’t just like background characters pretty much, and they’re all good fleshed out and developed characters n shit. I think people have talked about this before but yeah.. And the female characters aren’t sexualised or anything like that and like, theres basically little to no fanservice at all which is nice. Supereyepatchwolf said something about it in his video about snk, how it can appeal to everyone because anyone of any age and gender and such can be in the survey corps n stuff... :P

And the characters just in general of course :) I honestly think the characters is one of snks strongest points, like... im not about to do a full on character analysis on anyone here lol but they’re just so amazing. Like I think on first glance it can probably be easy for people to sort most of them into like a trope or something or just write them off as cliche - mostly eren is victim to this bc people are like typical shounen boy !!! but like. you know anyway. I wish I was better at expressing my feelings and thoughts lol. Like god idk i feel like its so easy for someone who idk might just be a casual fan or smthing to just kinda see the characters on their more surface level without seeing how much depth they actually have - and I feel like that could also easily happen with anime only ppl. Like snk really does have so much great n complex n developed characters, especiallyyy now with the timeskip, more so now than ever. Like you know when you love something so much that you cant just pin point one thing about it... because its like.... everything about it i love n everything within it works to like compliment everything in it if that makes sense u get me?? like i cant just pinpoint ONE THING its the whole thing.... why i love snk? *directs u to link of readsnkmanga.com* or something lol

as for the characters themselves, obviously u can tell, with my url, u can take a guess at who my favourite is :) since the timeskip, i dont like him as much - not that i dislike him, i could literally never - but timeskip eren is basically a whole new person - and im not saying that in a bitter tone or anything, if anything its cool and i appreciate it and i understand why eren is like this now, all the shit hes been through- stuff so singular that barely anyone else would be able to understand, no one, if anything. So i understand why hes like this, and as i said earlier, this’ one of snks strong points its complex and rlly developed characters... The things I admired about Eren is just like... his good and bad, everything. How passionate he is, how he wears his heart on his sleeve - that of which being his most notable quality imo, and he expresses himself in an unapologetic manner like.... the courtroom scene... he rlly shouted that in front of all those people... how headstrong, stubborn and impulsive he is. I relate to Eren alot, thats part of the reason why I love him so much because I think I can kinda see myself in him.. but on the same hand, I think it’s also because he possesses a lot of traits I admire. Eren never backs down even when the whole world seems to be against him. He holds on firmly to what he believes in and never gives in, even when literal guns or canons are being pointed towards him. He’s full of determination and will power and he knows what he wants, and he’s also not afraid to express his opinion, even if he knows that he’ll be laughed at or be largely disagreed with.. And I admire his impulsiveness too. Those are all things I admire and other things I didn’t mention.. like me, I’m a very non confrontational person, I always feel things out before getting to it, and even then a lot of the time I just don’t at all. I might second guess my emotions and feelings when it comes to relationships with people especially, and I can a lot of the time stifle or keep quiet about my own beliefs, not completely keeping quiet, but not speaking them out as firmly as I believe them in my own mind, yielding? more I guess, if people disagree with me, I might step down a little - Which isn’t a completely bad thing, it’s good to be openminded and to see other sides, but when it’s coming from a place of embarassment or insecurity, not so much. So I really admire those traits in Eren :) I relate to him a lot, but I also know that in a lot of ways too, we are veryy different. I’ve even thought before, if I knew someone like Eren irl would I even like them lol?? Who knows lol. But as a character, I love him :) My other two favourtie characters after Eren, Levi and Jean, I won’t go into them as much as I did Eren but with them, and not just that, all of the other reasons they’re my faves.. I have like more of a ‘crush’ on them lmaooo like with them i could read so much /reader fanfic lol... but even though Eren is my #1 I could nEVER...god NO lol. And I think thats also down to the fact, as I’ve been saying I seen myself in Eren... rather than the other way around :))))))))

Like god there have been so many times I’ve laughed, cried at stuff in this fandom, made good memories as a result of it irl too... bullied my friends into watching it.... Like I have nothing but good memories. I really can’t express enough how positively snk has impacted my life like I genuinely can’t, it’d be impossible.. I seriously love it :) I’ve made friends bc of it, gotten closer to friends bc of our mutual interest in it, stuff like that...:) And even if those things didn’t happen, I’d still love the series and its fandom itself. :) I seriously can’t thank enough, the ppl that contribute to this fandom, I really can’t. Everything, and everyone to small and big creators, thank you so much. Well known and lesser known creators, like just everything and everyone, seriously. Everyone is just why this fandom is so great and!! Like I just think how lucky am I to have smthing like snk have such a big fandom and stuff and so many great people in it. Like y’know when you see your favourite fanfic update, you see your favourite artist has put out smthing new, even just see a funny snk text post or something, it all can really brighten and even make your day, and its so good :) There are so many amazing creators in this fandom, fanfics that are honestly better than published books I’ve read - like seriously, some of this stuff seriously deserves to e published or something!! And the fact that so much of these creators are putting their work out there and sharing with us for free, is just so great, and I’ll never not be grateful for it :)

Like seriously, returning back to when I was like 12-14, some days back then when I was younger it really felt like y’know the only things I could take comfort in was this series and its characters and stuff yknow.... and maybe im just being and emo teen but im getting kinda emotional thinking about it just now :’) Like seriously... I feel like im maybe being too much in this post lol but seriously this series means a lot to me.. as I said, I can honestly really picture myself being like 40 and still rlly loving snk like no matter what, whatever happens, wherever the series goes, whatever the hell, it’ll always hold a special place in my heart, because its helped me through a lot, a lot of bad days, I have nothing but good memories associated with it, made friends, seen some of the most beautiful art and read rlly great writing!! Just like yeah. Thank u Isayama and this entire fandom.....

and I was gonna peace out but I also want to appreciate and throw some love @ Isayamas art and art style. Obviously, Isayama was a bit infamous in the earlier days for his art not looking so great (Which also is amazing bc like a manga with not so great art like his in the beginning... grew to become so BIG!! like who would’ve thought) - even so the character design and stuff was all really good?? Like I also think thats a strong point he has too!! And all those years of practicing really shows, because damn!! look at his art now!! It’s really damn nice and im not just saying that lol :P

Anyway!! :) Thats all lol

#idk what this is its just a jumbled ass incoherent string of thought sorry!!#snkpositivityweek #i feel like i should be embarassed jst by the sheer lenght of this n i lowkey am but like?
