I GIVE THY LORD GARMADON, KING OF THE UNDERWORLD

#i have a headcannon that he slowly morphed into good ol four arms we know today #and that instead of beating Samukai as soon as he got there he rose though the ranks and overthrew Samukai #him morphing into an oni would match up with Wu growing old. with them being separated being the cause of this change #he also would mess with his brother and give random evil monologs as a shadow all the time #ninjago #ninjago fanart #ninjago garmadon #lord Garmadon #garmadon #young garmadon #garmadon fanart #also me just realizing that the outfit looks like season 4 monkie kid- #fanart #art

people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just

got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer

lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling

game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill

#lotr #lord of the rings #lord of the rings movies #i started this post because ''may it be'' came up on my playlist but now i think i'm going to start my nth rewatch of the trilogy #there is a lot to discuss about it re: comparison to the books but it's like... #for all the changes they made - good and bad and neutral - everyone involved in making the films *loved* the source material #they all *wanted* to do justice to it and believed in it and it shows #i think of some posts i've seen about how frustrating this modern push towards tongue-in-cheek irony over sincerity #so afraid to be corny or cheesy that you have to tack a joke onto every real emotional moment #like no fuck that #give me sam hauling frodo onto his shoulders saying ''i can't carry it for you but i can carry you'' #give me aragorn gently kissing boromir's forehead as he dies #give me merry and pippin throwing themselves at the uruk hai to distract them from frodo #give me theoden's grand speeches and gandalf's pained expression when frodo says he'll carry the ring #tbh i think that sincerity is a large part of *why* it has such staying power even now #because it is a story you are meant to get deeply emotionally invested in and not hold yourself a little ironically apart from #it isn't meant to sell merch it's meant to bring you to middle-earth and capture your heart and make you believe that the war can be won #with love and loyalty and hope and fellowship and fidelity and integrity and just... just refusing to give in to despair #it is earnest. it is unafraid to be melodramatic or corny because it believes in the story it's telling. #and so it imprinted onto a whole generation growing up right at the cusp of a barrage of apocalypses #anyway. i have Feelings about these movies and their impact and how that mirrors and enhances the books' own impact

[retellingthehobbit]

New character design turnarounds! I may post the turnarounds of my previous older designs later :3.

#lord of the rings #lotr #gandalf #the hobbit #bilbo baggins #this is my third iteration on turnarounds haha #skdlfjsdf #well third or second #the second iteration was just editing/drawing over my original dot eyed model sheets #but as i was drawing the newer chapters i realized my edits werent enough and I just wanted to compeltely revamp them #not chapters #there are a bit of growing pains with the new changes to the art style #but I think I sort them out by midway through chapter 15

[isabelguerra]

finished chapter 5. zack is the strongest person alive for All That

#look i have my opinions. we all know this. but im understanding them a lot more recently. with the whole story you wrote as a teen thing #and wanting to expand your stuff more and grow #ever since i started working in comics ive started to view zack as like. a weird coworker. who is mildly older than me. #rather than Comics Lord Supreme (14yo vision) #like paranatural changing has become like. a friend dropping a fanfic of theirs you really loved. but ultimately you love your friend more. #am i going to always miss it Yes. am i going to always love it Yes. am i going to wonder what could have happened Yes. but like. #are you enjoying being alive? does this hurt to make? does this different way you make it... feel better? #who cares if i have a graphic novel coming out. comics is people. if i could make a paranatural guest comic someday. that'd be enough for me

[mochapanda]

kabru is like one the most interesting well developed kind and sweet characters in dungeon meshi and yet every post is either him wanting to kill laios or shipping him with laios i fucking hate it here so much

#CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HIS BACKGROUND HOW MEETING A DUNGEON LORD CHANGED HIM #PLEASE PLEASE UR NOTHING #i think itd actually be so epic to think about how hes probably the driving force behind bringing everyone together in the kingdom #itd be cool to see him interact with mithrun more post epilogue too since theyre both staying #anyway kabru going from being an expert in killing people (milsirils fault.) to being an expert in helping ppl and bringing them together. #and using ppl as a means to an end vs understanding everyones inherent worth and ability to grow and change UGH. #REFLECTING ON HIS OWN PERCEPTION OF HIMSELF AND HEALING HIS SURVIVORS GUILT #WHY DONT WE TALK ABOUT IT #going insane

[multishipperbish]

and if i were to write a LOTF fanfic inspired by Peter Pan (the story by l.m. barrie) and also partially Lost Boy (by Christina Henry) what then. huh chat

#lotf #lord of the flies #writing #my writing #i love you fuckass fic but i'm growing bored with my own inability to convey any feelings ever through my words #i love you beta readers for fuckass fic but it would be great if you. read the fic ever #anyways peter and jack are so similar to me #some kid who doesn't want to go back to grown-ups because then he won't be leader of a group of rowdy boys anymore? #sign me up #Lost Boy is used for the ralph effect #where jamie is peter's best friend and first mate #but he still has to conform to the rules #and peter is a fickle being whose mind changes with the snap of his own fingers #so jamie is kind of scared of him #peak jack and ralph interaction are you kidding me #anyways i started reading peter pan and i love the writing style very much #it is very dear to me #and Lost Boy is done beautifully also #i recommend you read one if not both of them

thinking about Shang Qinghua as a calamity again...

#svsss #shang qinghua #technically counts as tgcf? #just the idea of sqh dying and coming back is so compelling because in canon he literally just going through the motions. he's given up. #he doesn't WANT to die (from mbj's hand– from cang qiong's fall) but that's all he sees. it's the only end he can imagine to his story. #so the act of getting him to the point where he WANTS to stay– where it doesn't matter that death has come to take him he's not DONE YET is #revolutionary to his character (his ‟character‟– his role as well) in of itself and requires some canon divergence to justify it #and it's INTENSELY interesting to imagine him getting there #Imagine: An Ding is cruel. It is cruel and inefficient and its cruelties only make it more so. Sqh is ‟awarded‟ with the role of Peak Lord #of An Ding (this crown of barbed wire). And sqh doesn't MEAN to change the plot but– it's awful here! It's so awful that it's OFFENSIVE #and before sqh knows it two years have passed and An Ding is a mess of growing pains: of infrastructure torn down and rebuilt #but it's... better. It's hard work. It undeniably sucks and makes sqh cry from frustration all the time! Balancing the fixing of all the #shit his shizun left broken while staying on top of his usual duties is a procession of sleepless nights and little pains. (perhaps sqh has #growing pains too. change is hard for all that it's necessary.) #and then– and THEN! He's on his way to a trade meeting or spying for mbj or something else: it's doesn't matter. #And however the stage is set sqh dies and– sqh's life is finally starting to NOT suck! yqy has been asking for his future plans and sqh has #been answering. qqq found a scrap of a picture book he wrote when he was a senior disciple and demanded he finish it because it #‟had potential to increase literacy‟! He has a second command that he trusts won't stab him at the slightest provocation! His life is busy #and more than a little hellish but it's HIS. He's changed things even he didn't mean to. #An Ding's HIS. he got rid of the assholes and poured so much WORK into the people left and then the people who came later. #All of it boils down to this: it's unfair. it's too soon. it wasn't supposed to happen like this. #and so sqh dies for the second time and screams himself back to existence if not life. #the system cracking beneath his teeth– puppeteer turned to power for the puppet to consume. #(So there is a ghost on An Ding for all that only the ghost knows it.)

#doctor who #regeneration #cooked this up in 2 minutes #sorry but I hate the “another man walks away” line and still do #regeneration is a metaphor for growing and changing and improving as a person #it's about the bumpy road everyone's life takes not just Time Lords' #its not about literally dying and another guy stealing your identity #anyways I hate RTD's Doctorverse theory sorry

I think a new generation of the lotf fandom is being born and I am EXTREMELY glad it's not like the 2010s fandom. y'all wouldn't believe how bad it got from 2010(ish)-2019

ITS EASIER PUTTIN A FACE TO YOUR FEARS THAN A NAME

#HOLY FUCKKK #IM ON A NIGHT TRAIN #dear lord this song explains some deep feelings of mine #first off. trains instead of planes when it’s sensible. fuck yeah #generationally giving gifts for hope or memory or travel. like it’s just a coin but god it’s her grandma traveling with her #just hope and sorrow and stoborness #yes America is FUCKED UP! but I can try to help it grow #my love fuels my anger and both can be driving forces for change #just. I want to do that. I want to wield my love as the most versatile weapons of change #night train by the accidentals #night train #the accidentals #Sav buist

James is a funny guy and the cattle children are so incredibly lucky no one in the Ratri clan decided to burn that document.

#James Ratri #William Minerva #The Promised Neverland #Yakusoku no Neverland #TPN #YnN #Return to Grace Field Arc #TPN 173 #TPN S2 #TPN S2e11 #TPN Memes #FSS Chatter #some vague Lord “Some of you may die‚ but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make” Farquaad energy prior to this discovery #except it's replace “some” with “all” #and even after the reveal you're left wondering if this changed his stance on everything #as in even if the ancestors were guilty of wanting the war to continue‚ should their posterity be punished for their actions for eons? #did this fundamentally alter James where he believed no child deserved to be eaten regardless of circumstances #or was this just kind of a whoopsie and he still fully believed in generational punitive measures #growing up in a clan with that mindset is a hell of a thing to overhaul #tho in this case he has the benefit of viewing it as a necessary evil otherwise it would lead to demons and humans going to war again #i like this as commentary on systemic “necessary” evils/how punitive certain societies can be #but from a character perspective this is incredibly funny #James is an asshole but he's fun and I like him #TPN AU where everything is the same but the kids land in Salem‚ Oregon in Ch179 instead of New York

By the time we speak again and you still haven't sought God, because I'm constantly trying to seek Him, I'd be so utterly repulsed by your lifestyle and darkened heart that I won't be able to love you romantically anymore so you better seek Him in your own accord.

#I don't wanna be throwing away everything we had either #but I know if we resume things again without any changes #we're just gonna break up again #even faster this time around because I can't simply stand your worldliness at all #I'll probably hate your friends #but mostly hate the alcohol that you crave every weekend #and the world you profess to love #and the comfortable life that doesn’t chase after Jesus #and your want to just keep me where it's comfortable when what I want to do is to grow #I want to take you with me but I can't if you don't want to be whisked away #cuz right now if I go back you are either fully in the world or just in the middle enough to dip your toe in the Lord #to simply meet bare minimum #but He deserved more than bare minimum #I deserve more than bare minimum #so it simply cannot be if there is no change during this time
