i was rereading some wha chapters the other day and then i cried over them if that tells u anything

#specifically the great hall arc after where coco tries to go to the tower of books #i have a VERY soft spot for that handful of chapters in defining coco as a witch/qifrey as a teacher/their relationship #like.#qifrey being questioned if he is a good teacher or if he's using coco for the sake of revenge #coco having to face that she may not be able to achieve her goal #and then qifrey sacrificing himself to give her the chance to get there. and then coco choosing neither to go back to safety or to go to #the tower of books #because she had to save HIM #n then beldaruit being like. i see . youve made up your mind about what we talked about and your teacher because she chooses him #and qifrey went to save HER because he has come to see her as like. his kid #they chose each other....th #and their parallels #so i cried. duh. i have read it so many times. i was crying #i. care them. so bad.#ely talks #ignore me lol

I'm reading the lord of the rings and I'm once again amazed at how... good most characters are. Like, they are genuinely good people. They are a bunch of kindhearted, gracious, caring people, coming together under adverse circumstances and trying to figure things out and find a solution and support each other through it all. Like Frodo and Sam meet Faramir and Faramir is a bit suspicious at first and kind of implies Frodo may be a spy, and then when he hears his story and he's like Frodo, I pressed you so hard at first. Forgive me! It was unwise in such an hour and place. And this blows.my.mind. He wasn't even particularly mean or threatening to him in the beginning, he's just such a kind, considerate man, recognizing the kindness and honesty of another man. And they're all like that. Even Gollum starts slowly changing (for a short while) when he encounters Frodo because that's the thing about kindness and humility and grace, they are contagious. They transform people, even a creature like Gollum cannot be immune to that. Like, you may consider all this simple and basic and I get it but, hear me out. It is quite rare to see that in modern media and it is also pretty difficult to pull off in a way that is not corny and simplistic. It is mind blowing that you actually don't have to present the entire palette of human cruelty and vice in order to tell a compelling story, contrary to popular belief. Lotr does the exact opposite, and it is just beautiful and it warms my heart. Especially taking into consideration tolkien's pretty grim growing-up experience, him being a double orphan without a home, raised between an orphanage and a priest and having no family apart from his brother and then the war and then he almost dies and then he's poor as hell and then a second war and it all makes sense somehow. He writes to his wife who is also an orphan two days before the marriage "the next few years will bring us joy and content and love and sweetness such as could not be if we hadn't first been two homeless children and had found one another after long waiting" and, yes, yes! The love and sweetness just radiate from his work, the entire lotr series is a little radiant bubble of hope and love and grace that he imagined in his head to deal with a dismal reality and then he just gave that to the world, and isn't that what imagination and art is all about after all?

#i literally wrote this because faramir said 'forgive me'#like that was the inspiration here #terminal brain damage don't mind me #BUT #i have a point #i do!#i am cringe but i am free #i love these books so much #i love this man so much #lotr #the two towers #frodo baggins #faramir #gollum #the lord of the rings #aspa rambles #tolkien #aspa reads tolkien

Do you think Aziraphale is the literal origin of the damsel in distress trope or did he get the idea from reading books

#good omens #aziraphale #ineffable idiots #aziracrow #ineffable partners #I see it going one of two ways:#someone saw Aziraphale pretending to be in danger to get Crowley's attention waaaay back in human history and thought 'great fic idea'#or Aziraphale read a book about some princess locked in a tower waiting for a pretty knight to save her and thought 'this is perfect'#wouldnt put it past these two silly beings to be the ones who started a lot of tropes #fic idea?#ID in alt text

Extremely sad news today with the passing of our beloved Bernard Hill.

“Arise!! Arise, Riders of Théoden!”

“The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time.”

He will go to his fathers. And even in their mighty company he shall not now be ashamed. 🗡️🐴👑

Forth, Eorlingas!!

A new puzzle collaboration with Reverie Puzzles this time featuring the characters from Throne of Glass. It was such a delight to work with them again and I’m super proud of how this turned out. I’m definitely biased but my favorite part is probably Abraxos because he is just the best boy. 😌
