Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.

I might just be extremely in my thirties now but I simply cannot take any sort of fandom discourse anymore. I barely could before but I am at maximum capacity. just... just watch the thing and enjoy it or whatever, be nice to each other, isn't life hard enough

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

"nothing matters so do what you love and be kind" is the single most viscerally impactful message i have ever gleaned from consuming media and i'm going to live every day with that kind of hopepunk nihilism for the rest of my life

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating. 

#whenever i make something eg a little pottery creature i always marvel in the fact that something now exists that didn't before #like!! i did that! a new thing is here! #it makes me so happy every time #i am not Objectively Good at creative arts i just like doing them #and i like the things i make #which is the whole ass point tbh

Thranduil isn't unkind, he's just unfriendly. 

Unfortunately for him, a lot of people seem to view the words to mean nearly the same thing. 

An unkind person would not have saved the dwarves when they trespassed in his forest and kept them well fed (even by dwarven standards) regardless how unhelpful and rude they had been to him and his people. An unkind person would not have rushed to the aid of a human village, an unkind person would not have taken Gollum from Aragorn and treat him with pity. An unkind person would not have been chosen to be King of a good and kindly people. An unkind person could not have withstood the darkness in Dol Guldur as long as he did. An unkind person would not have raised a son like Legolas.

An unkind person usually goes out of their way to be unkind, Thranduil has many opportunities to do so. And never really does. 

That doesn't mean however, that he's friendly. He won't sugar coat anything no matter who he's talking to, according to some he's blunt and direct to a fault. Like a bolt of lightening. 

He isnt here to make friends, he has enough friends.

He sees no reason for pleasantry chit-chat with people he doesn't know or barely tolerates in the name of being 'Polite.' If he doesn't care about something, you will know very quickly. He isn't here 'to be the bigger person,' there's no time for that. He's here to get shit done, and get it done quickly and accurately. Because there's always at least seven other things wanting his attention. 

And if he hurts your feelings, or ignores all the expected pleasantries and you find it offensive. Well, that sounds like a 'you' problem, doesn't it? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
