y’all- I just found out that this medallion necklace that we always see Elvis wearing in late 70s was made by Lisa Marie 😭

(source: Sean Shaver, who photographed Elvis’ concerts)

#the proudest pappy #he would have worn a macaroni necklace on stage if Lisa made it #that man loved his baby!!! #and #can we talk about Lisa Marie’s impeccable taste😩? #like I can’t comprehend that an 8 year old made that… #I would wear it myself #that forest of chest hair… #lord have mercy #elvis presley #elvisaaronpresley #elvis #lisa marie presley #elvis history #elvis fans #elvis photos #big daddy elvis #70s elvis #70s

I watched season 3 and rewatched season 1 and 2 of the umbrella academy and what I can gather is:

Five (season 1): Denial, anger

Five (season 2): Bargaining

Five (season 3): Depression, acceptance

#usually he's a colourful fruit salad of denial anger bargaining depression and more anger though #season 3 five just makes me especially sad though #like he was done #he could retire #have a nice road trip #figure himself out as a person for once #breathe a little #but nope #and he still explores all options until he finally gives up #cause he would rather die with his family all together rather than a sad lonely old man in a tube #or at the mercy of whatever reginald had in store for them #but even at the very end he still can't shake the instinct to protect his family #and beats allison to the last sigil in the floor and figures out the sigil in the first place #also jesus what was season 3 I feel like I had a fever dream lol #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #tua #im not saying he passed through these stages instead they just layered on top of each other like a sad gooey cake

Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist

The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence

Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother

And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way

Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that

He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

#on a “ozai deserves smth worse than death” mood #which is. my everyday mood but we're not talking about that #read a fic where ppl were mad ozai was still alive #zuko clarified that he's still alive not only bc that's what aang wanted but bc death would be a mercy for him #that's the man who ruined everybody's life(s). you can't tell me we can just let him die like that #and they're not even torturing him. he's just in prison #but he's so fucking weak that not having his bending = torture #pathetic #honestly what did he even do? his entire family was better than him #zuko was better at any kind of fighting and he learned firebending from the fucking dragons #azula is. azula! she bends blue fire and is the best at lighting n stuff #iroh created a whole new bending technique and broke out of prison w no bending #ursa killed the fucking fire lord #i mean sure ozai can shoot lighting out of his hands. but so can iroh! so can azula! #his 14 year old daughter is better than him #she could kick his ass if she wanted #but that's her dad right there and the obssession she has w pleasing him is straight up unhealthy #man. poor azula #anyways back to the point: ozai is pathetic #loserlord indeed #atla #avatar the last airbender #fire lord ozai #zuko #aang #katara #azula #uncle iroh #avis' post #avis talks

@nagareboshiko asked: She walks into Neuvilette's office, hands up. "I'm ready to get arrested" no context provided. She needs her holiday.

Inhales. Not the first person to ever want to be arrested without saying why, but certainly not the last.

"I would rather not arrest you, unless you actually commited a crime. Which I also wish you wouldn't do. How about giving me a reason to arrest you, or even better, looking for something else to do?"

Sméagol and the Gift

'Now!' said Sam. 'At last I can deal with you!' He leaped forward with drawn blade ready for battle. But Gollum did not spring. He fell flat upon the ground and whimpered.

'Don't kill us,' he wept. 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel! Let us live, yes, live just a little longer. Lost lost! We're lost. And when Precious goes we'll die, yes, die into the dust.'

Devastated by this. Just a little longer, he begs. Even though his existence is a torment. Even though the will that holds him to life is barely his own anymore. He has long outlived his time but it's such a cruelty that now the only freedom for him is in death. I'm glad Sam didn't kill him but the whole scenario is awful.

When a mortal keeps a ring of power he does not gain more life, he continues, denied natural mortality as the fear of death is amplified and twisted into fear of separation, nothing matters anymore but the keeping, the continuing. In that miserable existence there is no peace, and at its end there is no graceful goodbye to life, there is only dust. Sudden, empty, and final.

It would take murder to spare him that. Or falling with the ring into the fire.

Bilbo let it go in time (did he feel anything when it was destroyed?) Frodo is freed of it now, though the toll it extracted for the separation was at very least a finger. It was too late for Gollum for the price to be anything other than it was, and that's brutal.

If you live long enough, death is no longer the enemy. What Sauron did to Gollum ensured that it would always be the enemy, to be feared and avoided for ever, once time and the ring had fashioned it into the only escape left. Evil.

#lotr newsletter #suicide mention in tags #haunted by the au in which gollum goes into the fire with the ring On Purpose #bc he still couldnt separate himself from it but frodo's compassion had somewhat released him from its evil #in a way an honor to frodo's quest and in a way an act of mercy to be able to give up the self-torment #which gives me shrimp feelings bc of the everything but also back to the original point that it is so tragic that death is all that awaits #bc death is natural and that was taken from him. what is the will to live in the absence of natural death? #smth deeply horrible about that #matt bugg screaming we'll be dust. so famous and rent free #lotrn325 #damn it im having more thoughts #wraiths vs gollum: discuss #the nature of the ring kept affects the nature of its possession no? those rings were made FOR thralldom #sauron has power over gollum but not That Much and his own ring is all abt the domination #what would a 2000 year old gollum even be like ._. #the wraiths are probably even more tragic bc at this point they're like...undead. even death isn't freedom #on that topic what happened to the witch-king's spirit fr #I'm pretty sure he isn't ever actually called that in the book but it's epic and gender and way snappier than lord of the nazgul #anyway shoutout to i think yambits for breaking the lore and giving them peace that was sick #where's my gollum rehab fic #i know he's a horrible little man who is constantly trying to murder my boys but i love him so #the au...gollum gaining the willpower to destroy himself because he was given trust and kindness and companionship for once. FUCKED UP. #fucked up horrible i need a minute. being shown compassion and then becoming more self-compassionate. epic #that compassion entailing seeking the freedom of death your soul was denied bc this is fantasy and somehow the exact #arc that usually leads to fighting to live is now flipped. HUH. #yeah jirt alluded to his motivation being For Frodo but i maintain that the willingness to die is HUGE there and extremely relevant #me and my red string keeping me company #ugh tag championships i win i think but at what cost #who wants to spin around miserably in a pool like franknfurter with me as we listen to gollum's song #tam you're already invited i have a floaty for u

Is it just me or the older you get, the more emotional the movie Up gets?

I haven’t watched it in years and yet all it took to make me bawl my eyes out was listening to the Married Life soundtrack once, my mum probably thinks I’ve gone through a bad breakup now help-

Also that scene where Carl sat down and flipped through his and Ellie’s album destroyed me within the first few seconds

#crying screaming throwing up rn #lawd have mercy #i forgot the Disney movie of an old man living in a house flown by balloons could be so mentally destructive #Disney Up #it’s been two days #I’m still crying #never watch Disney again #I’m jk I still love it but GOD

[riickgrimes]

carl being the one to remind rick of the man he used to be and bring him back from the brink

#that’s powerful. that’s beauty. that’s love. that’s cinema. #honestly that would have been such a perfect ending to rick’s character too if they went through with him dying under the tree #like to see him turn into this ruthless violent man over the course of the series #and to have carl’s death be the thing that really brings him back #to have this full circle moment where his last act is an act of mercy a move that the old him would have done #and doing it to honor carl and in hopes of making the first steps to having his son’s dream come true #wow #on to s9 i go #not sure how im gonna do with the rest of the season once rick leaves #we shall seeeeee #the walking dead #twd lb

I have something to say, and it's actually terrifying for me to admit it to you all. I may lose some of you...

I am in a lot of mental distress, and I do not want to hear about the war here, on tumblr, where I come to get away. I fear for my life every day, please understand.

I do have tags blocked. All I am asking is that you tag your posts and reblogs about the war, either side.

Please give me some respite from this constant pain and fear, please.
