Round 2, Match 10: Dr. Gregory House vs. Maglor

Submitted kids:

Dr. Gregory House: "Robert Chase, Remy "Thirteen" Hadley, most of his fellows honestly

Maglor: Elros, Elrond

Propaganda under the cut!

Dr. House:

1. "House is a genius asshole doctor, but he always seems to have these young brilliant doctors following after him. Chase has been working for him the longest and has been reffered to as ""the prodigal son"". Thirteen has a fatal diagnosis of Huntingtons and has very similar self destructive behaviors to House. They help each other and even went on a road trip one time. House also treats the rest of his fellows in a somewhat ""tough love"" manor, but he genuinely cares for them as if they are his kids, earning them the collective nickname ""The Ducklings"". "

2. “it’s unintentional but he ends up as the dad for his entire team, how else does one explain why his team cares about him so much even tho he’s a major asshole”

Maglor:

“He drove their mother to death for want of a jewel that his father made and adopted them.”

gintama is literally about escaping 2D. escaping the circle/line duality (ouroboros/sword. hole/pole. anus/penis) to become a sphere (sun/moon/star/earth) that fits infinite amount of vectors (people) from center to surface

#found it #had this in tue drafts and then what do i read. by ouroboros scholar dr kile yamameta #(i read “takasugi and gintoki manage to reach e.o. not bc of takasugis desperate violence but bc of gintokis interiority is #AS WAST AS THE STORY THEY ARE IN“#)#also im seizing every opportunity where vectors are a symbol of love this is a tolkien household #károg

I can't believe I still have to see posts about how much better ROP would be if Celebrían was the lead vs. Galadriel. As someone who has Tolkien Brainrot, I understand the appeal, I really, really do. As someone who has had to interact with so many people who either do not care about Tolkien Lore but are interested in fantasy television shows or are Jackson film fans first/foremost/only, y'all. Galadriel is a known character and a decent intro to lesser known characters.

Hate to break it to y'all but Celebrían is OBSCURE. I'm pretty confident in saying that if you get outside of Tolkien Fandom online circles, you could tell people that Elrond was married to Galadriel's daughter and the response you would get would be, "oh, I didn't realize that" because it's touched so lightly in the films. Celebrían isn't even MENTIONED by name. Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure if anyone mentions that Galadriel and Arwen are related at all!

My point is the show is meant to appeal to more people than us over here with Tolkien Brainrot!!!!!! I love Celebrían, but Galadriel was an easier sell to the potential of a wider audience as a lead. For a show that needs to go through so much lore very quickly, having Galadriel as the lead because she's 1) female [the overwhelming amount of male characters vs. female characters in the Legendarium is another post], 2) relatively familiar, and 3) has a set characterization to lead toward for an arc vs. her barely-even-mentioned-in-LotR daughter is a no-brainer.

#rings of power discourse for ts #i don't actually want to get into a fight about any of this. i just feel like i've been having this same conversation with people offline #for a year. like.#i don't want to make this all about running games but as someone who does run tolkien ttrpgs i have to explain A LOT of lore! regularly!#people can be fans of the films and simply not know information that could be called basic in fandom circles #do i agree with everything ROP did? no #but hot take: most of the changes they made were understandable to me if i thought through them for five minutes #point is: galadriel (known) celebrian (unknown). who the fuck were the writers going to pick as a lead? KNOWN. feels obvious to me!#tl;dr ROP is meant for a wider audience than Tolkien Brainrot Fandom sorry to say #and that goes for everyone who is saying the show should have kept the original timeline too #i saw one take early on that was like 'we should have had the focus be on the elves with a (basically disposable) cast of mortals #quickly dying off to show how much time is passing #sorry that is an unrealistic take! i can't imagine that any show is going to want to pay that many actors #i was surprised by the time jumps in HOTD!!!!#these tags could be their own post. this is out of hand.#to be deleted

Dr. Fate as different magic guys 🪄 By Dan Schkade

#dc comics #dceu #game of thrones #lotr #tolkien #hellboy #jsa #dr fate #kent nelson #he’s a trans icon according to #dan schkade #and he’s right #the context that brought this on I believe are critics saying that he’s too similar to dr strange #despite appearing over twenty years before

Have you read "perilous and fair"? It's a collection of essays about Tolkien women and feminism

I have in the sense that I have read the articles that make it up seperately, THAT is where my absolutely beloathed Melissa A. Smith's “At Home and Abroad: Éowyn’s Two-fold Figuring as War Bride in The Lord of the Rings” comes from (throws curses at her throws curses at her throws c- literally how is this article in a so called 'feminist' compliation).

To be honest I wasnt a fan of all of them, the articles often vere a lot into making out like 'Tolkien was feminist actually you're all just reading him wrong' and straw-manning this figure of the 'feminist critic' who hates Tolkien because women don't fight or something (a critic I have never actually found in terms of real women critics who said such things, truly the definition of a strawman argument) And I feel like I recall one article being like look! Tolkien loved women! (Lists everytime obscure pieces of his letters or the recollections of others mention him meeting a woman). Like some of them get a bit maddening.

BUT It does have Robin Anne Reid's pretty comprehensive bibliography of all the scholarship done with a female focus (very useful for academic purposes and an interesting if rather depressing read) and @unamccormack's discussion surrounding women fanfic authors who made efforts to write themselves back into the story which is a great article about a continuously necessary topic (and one that does seem to make all the other 'tolkien was a feminist actually!' arguments fall rather flat if you have to become an author yourself in order to feel like women are even mildly important in middle earth).

I'm sure some of the other articles are good but admittedly I read them all at different points for different reasons so they don't stick in my memory very well and to my shame I do tend to remember the ones that annoyed me the best so 😅

#tolkien #erran vs tolkien #chats #unamccormack #also hello Dr Una :) and I hope this does not come across as a critique on you love your work #tolkien academia

‘I say we stand with our men in life and in death. arm yourselves!’ why did tolkien know more about feminism than any game of thrones episode ever

#yes I’m still on about house of the dr*gon #was tolkien’s female rep perfect? not by half he has like four female characters and they never interact #but given the time the media was written we have NO EXCUSE for shows airing in 2022 to be MORE sexist than this #like what happened here babes #the hobbit

Forever absolutely blown away by how much humans, en masse, love fantasy. Narnia, Hogwarts, Middle Earth and The Shire, the Tardis...list goes on and on of course. We’ve been dazzling each other with stories of magic and faraway places with daring adventures and found family and messages of hope and freedom for as long as we’ve been telling stories at all. And I love it. It endlessly fascinates me. :)

makes me think of the shirley jackson quote “no live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.”

We can’t help it, maybe. Birds sing, bees bumble, and people dream of magic.
