In case anyone was wondering the difference between our pups: Sapphire (left) is an absolute nut who has endless energy. She's loud as hell but the biggest baby in the world. Ruby (right) is a brick house but a bit calmer. Unless she doesn't like you, then all bets are off.

#btw theyre from the same litter so theyre legit sisters #also ignore my foot dont be weird i was too lazy to crop it #love my babies #absolute nerds #i do however wish sapphy was quieter sometimes...#but be damned if we dont know when someones in our driveway #got an amazon delivery? dont need a notification we got a sapphy #don't mind me #my pets #ruby #sapphire

@gareththegreat gets a starter !

❛ Man, imagine if cantrips were real. –– I can name like ten people who’d have vicious mockery. ❜ Actually, that sounds like a nightmare. Eddie’s face twists as he thinks about it a little more. ( Yeah, maybe it’s good the fantasy game is just fantasy. )

Someone asked me to expand a little on a topic that was buried down in a big chain of reblogs, so I'm doing that here--it's about the use of the archaic "thee", "thou", "thy", etc. in LOTR and what it tells you about characters’ feelings for one another. (I am NOT an expert on this, so it's just what I've picked up over time!)

Like many (most?) modern English speakers, I grew up thinking of those old forms of 2nd person address as being extra formal. I think that's because my main exposure to them was in the Bible ("thou shall not...") and why wouldn't god, speaking as the ultimate authority, be using the most formal, official voice? But it turns out that for a huge chunk of the history of the English language, "thee," "thou," and "thy" were actually the informal/casual alternatives to the formal "you", “your”, “yours”. Like tú v. usted in Spanish!

With that in mind, Tolkien was very intentional about when he peppered in a "thee" or a "thou" in his dialogue. It only happens a handful of times. Most of those are when a jerk is trying to make clear that someone else is beneath them by treating them informally. Denethor "thou"s Gandalf when he’s pissed at him. The Witch King calls Éowyn "thee" to cut her down verbally before he cuts her down physically. And the Mouth of Sauron calls Aragorn and Gandalf "thou" as a way to show them that he has the upper hand. (Big oops by all 3 of these guys!)

The other times are the opposite--it's when someone starts to use the informal/casual form as a way to show their feeling of affection for someone else. Galadriel goes with the formal "you" all through the company's days in Lórien, but by the time they leave she has really taken them to heart. So when she sends them a message via Gandalf early in the Two Towers, she uses "thee" and "thou" in her words to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli because now they're valued friends and allies. And--this is the big one, folks, that was already alluded to in my previous post--Éowyn starts aggressively "thou"ing Aragorn when she is begging him to take her along as he prepares to ride out of Dunharrow. She is very intentionally trying to communicate her feelings to him in her choice of pronoun--an "I wouldn't be calling you "thee" if I didn't love you" kind of thing. And he is just as intentionally using "you" in every single one of his responses in order to gently establish a boundary with her without having to state outright that he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. It's not until much later when her engagement to Faramir is announced that Aragorn finally busts out "I have wished thee joy ever since I first saw thee". Because now it is safe to acknowledge a relationship of closeness and familiarity with her without the risk that it will be misinterpreted. He absolutely wants to have that close, familiar relationship, but he saved it for when he knew she could accept it on his terms without getting hurt.

So, you know, like all things language-based...Tolkien made very purposeful decisions in his word choices down to a bonkers level of detail. I didn’t know about this pronoun thing until I was a whole ass adult, but that’s the joy of dealing with Tolkien. I still discover new things like this almost every time I re-read.

Steve being convinced (read: forced) by the highschool drama teacher to play the part of "King" in a production, not a speaking role, his job is to just... look the part, look down upon his subjects from a throne, sit above them, powerful, regal, with the side note that he has to maintain that air of disinterest through the whole thing until he's 'assassinated/usurped'.

he only says yes because he was promised an automatic pass if he did it, as no-one else could really fit and maintain the look the teacher had envisioned.

and Eddie Munson, playing the role of court jester, putting his whole jestussy into making Steve crack both his character, and a smile.

because Steve wouldn't get his automatic pass if he broke character, and Eddie feels it's his sworn duty to not let King Steve coast through school on his good looks.

#steddie #and maybe Steve develops a tiny crush #because he has this absolute goofballs whole attention on him #and he's just so weak #so weak to curly haired nerds with big bambi eyes #help him #he's on the struggle buss

Astarion: I think he likes us. Tav: I like him, too. But I'd never say it to his smarmy face. Raphael has a crush on Tav and tries real hard to act cool about it.

#raphael #raphael bg3 #raphael baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #Raphael is that suave charming bad boy who tries to look cool as hell (heh) in front of his crush like an absolute nerd #meanwhile my tav also has a crush on him so we're both losers really #bg3gifs #korilla hearthflame #screaming at the “came out on top” line... the writers definitely did that on purpose and it makes my brain go brrr #because that definitely means he likes you carnally since we found out about HoH #Also look at Tav's faceeeeeee #They're like “OH”#Like it just hit them #Omggggggg

I was listening to an interview that Alexander Siddig did with Trek Geeks and this man said that he stayed up so late playing video games in the 90’s, and was so tired all the time on set, that the producers staged an intervention and were like “We’re going to support you no matter what your answer is but: are you on drugs?”

#and it was mainly ELDER SCROLLS #he was getting $7000 an ep and I guess he bought an absolutely insane computer setup #king #he still plays RPG all the time #fucking nerd #alexander siddig #siddig el fadil #ds9 #deep space nine #deep space 9 #julian bashir
