#IT WAS REAL

[kidhuzel]

Watching the extended edition of The Battle of the Five Armies convinces me that at least part of the screenwriting/directing/editing meant for the audience to be able to read into Bagginshield but be able to technically deny it for those who didn't want it.

The way Balin looked at Bilbo when talking about Thorin. The way Thorin hoarded Bilbo instead of the arkenstone. The way that all the other dwarves paused and stared when Bilbo received the mithril. The way that Bilbo says he took the arkenstone to stand against his claim, and Thorin says "you have no claim over me". The way that the cuts between Bilbo crying over Thorin to Tauriel crying over Kili aren't even subtle, they do it TWICE. They let HER talk about HIM, call it love, and it is called "true", and then show it's direct equal with Bilbo. Who doesn't say anything with Gandalf. What can he say, after all, that the Tolkien Share Holders wouldn't complain about? Especially in 2014?

If it were just about friendship, even a deep world-moving friendship, he wouldn't have struggled to call it that with Balin. He doesn't label it, because Balin knows. And he knows that. And in the shire, they already call him odd for not marrying a fine young lass. Of course he'd label that friendship. And nonetheless, he still pauses saying it then.

Richard Armitage put as much meaning behind his lines and his looks as he could. And Freeman, despite always getting shipped with his castmates on tumblr, seemed more committed to acting the widowed mourning role than Tauriel, and give twice the camera time for it too.

Tauriel's character created to be a shallow love interest as a Hollywood ploy felt cheap. Using her as a foil for Bilbo felt intentional. The people behind the movie have made it clear. Bagginshield was real. And that can never be taken from us.

[zcottwhathuh]

did they ever reply

not to me no (probably because there's no denny's in IN and i do indeed have an IN area code number. which was probably a red flag)

but the phone company didn't tell me it was an invalid number either

so hypoTHETICALLY yes they could indeed respond if we were to track down the dennys and get another random guy in the area WITH an 833 number to text the number

we're gonna blow this case wiiiiide open

OK SO UPDATE I FUCKING CALLED THE NUMBER

ITS A SEX HOTLINE

GOD DAMNIT I'VE BEEN JAPED

lockwood and lucy falling asleep on the couch together on accident...george walks in and puts a blanket over them

george and lucy paint each other's nails while exchanging gossip conspiracy theories

lockwood notices that george's specs are held together by tape down the middle, so he gets him a new pair, the exact same kind

lockwood started wearing suits after he finished training with sykes, but he never really learned how to tie a tie properly. not until george teaches him how

lucy absentmindedly leaves doodles everywhere, on the margins of george's notes, on lockwood's receipts from satchell's...the boys keep her sketches and tape them above their desks. there may or may not be a doodle of lockwood holding a giraffe and of george as an owl (idk that one quote about him looking like a constipated owl has never left me)

laundry mix-up leads to them wearing someone else's shirt or jumper or trousers at some point, but then they just keep sharing clothes and no one says anything about it

tbh I'm still in shock that we have Canon kisses everywhere. Stede and Ed actually kissed and confessed to each other, i didn't read that on ao3 or see fanart of it on pintrest, it was actually in the show and is a major plot point of next season.

Crowley and Aziraphale actually kissed and it was desperate and sad and angry and horrible. It actually happened. It wasn't just a sad mitski edit I saw on tik tok. They kissed and then left each other and they need each other but can't have each other.

these mfers make me SICK

#good omens #ineffable husbands #our flag means death #blackbonnet #they actually kissed #i didnt imagine it #it was real #im ill

It was real

What we had

Neither of us with

That talent for friendship

But we slipped together

Slipped

Like a plug in the right socket

Electric

We did the impossible

Drank wine

Laughed and played

It was such a gift

Both of us so

Hungry and tired

Lonely

Secretly needy

Suddenly just there

Like a chunk of forever

I didn't know i had to give it back

This gift

Still no talent for friendship

And then

Without even a poof

Gone

Never before or again

Because

It was impossible

But it was real

.

#if you think this is about you #you may be right #friends #it was real #poof

showing this post to the jensen stans consistently saying “he’s so beefy!” like excuse me, where? that is a delicate man!

(mayhaps your “40yr old twink vs brick house your grandfather built that could withstand the next biblical flood” post still lives rent free in my head)

I'd say he is beefy in a delicate way 😌 just like a twink can be beefy but still delicate 🌺

#ask sally #im so glad yall aren't forgetting the brickhouse post #im v proud of it #it was a genuine emotion that made me feel it #it was not fabricated for lolz #it was real

lucy grabbing tim and going all-in for that kiss just as the song says "only my love survives"

I did it, I S ranked ALL of Azure Gleam. All side battles, main battles, and paralogues

Long post incoming

You will not BELIEVE how much time and pain this took (this is normal/casual by the way)

I think some battles don’t show up, just like some of the battles in three houses

Another childhood memory unlocked.

Picture it, summer 1997. I'm in my room walls covered in movie and band posters, my dad is on the phone so can't use the Internet.

On my TV, I'm watching the never ending story and I get to that part. Anyone old enough will know.what I'm talking about.

That scene.

I can't do it. I press pause and then stop. I could have fast forwarded it and watched the black and white fuzzy lines across the screen. I couldn't.

I put it into a box under my bed and never played it again. Now, it is 2023. I still have that box. That tape. That.... Scene.

It lurks in the cupboard, waiting for me.
