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

a little continuation of the christmas artwork ✨ @vwritesaus's amazing tags inspired me 😌💖

#then thomas kept kissing him in the cheek and had his mouth all coloured as well #alastair of course did nothing to stop him he was like giggling and smiling the whole time #poor thing #cordelia: awww. i told you you would have thanked me eventually- #alastair: *kills her* #thomas lightwood #thomastair #alastair carstairs #chain of iron #tlh #the last hours #the shadowhunter chronicles #my art🌷

They were friends they grew old together in mutual support and respect

#ironically I was hesitating between drawing this or the scene in which Dunk cuts his own cheek #making Rohanne wet enough to make the river flow again #oh well anyway #i love them your honor #at this point I guess Egg is in his late twenties and Dunk in his early thirties #Aegon V Targaryen #Duncan the Tall #Dunk and Egg #asoiaf #asoiaf fanart #valyrianscrolls #my art

[chatonnoir]

u all know Adrien’s not actually trying to straight up KISS her right then and there in that scene though right like he's clearly going for la bise

#ml spoilers #multiplication #miraculous ladybug #adrinette #adrienette #idk some posts are sounding like they think he was actually going for a real kiss #it's still sweet as hell but don't get it twisted!!!!!!! #him opting to greet her with a cheek kiss shows how close he thinks they are & his affection for her #marinette is getting shy about it because it puts his face so close to hers and she doesn't know how to process this #marinette freaking out about it is funny and ironic cause she just did la bise with chat noir in glaciator 2.0 #i'm imagining adrien thinking like 'we've literally done this before?? what's different now??? she didn't want a handshake from chat noir?? #even though for all intents and purposes I'm better friends with her as Adrien than I am as Chat Noir???????'

Anna Lightwood should’ve thrown that memorandum book she wrote about her accomplishments, into Jesse’s casket at the end of CHOT.

Change my mind.

#cassandra clare #the shadowhunter chronicles #the last hours #chain of gold #chain of iron #chain of thorns #anna lightwood #this is not a frickin slutshame #so don’t come at me like that in the comments #the reason why i disliked anna is because of her characterisation #despite being heartbroken by ari in eet - #there was no justification behind her treatment of the women she courted #and the absolute cheek of her to say she approved of everything she did when matthew asked if she wanted to contribute… #would ari want something like that lying around now that they’re officially a couple? #cc romanticised the ‘heartbreaker’ and ‘ladykiller’ labels and made anna look like a fuckboy instead #the memorandum book needed to be buried

Puffbloom forest OCs: Liam

((NSFW & BLANK/AGELESS BLOGS PLEASE DNI))

Info under the cut <3

Age: 19

Gender: Transmasc (He/They)

Orientation: Polyamory Asexual Homoromantic

Height: 5'0

Species: Elf

Personality: Outgoing, Giddy, Sociable, Jolly

Whenever Ikie and TK are away/busy, he either tends to his garden, visit the forest, chat with the other villagers, or bake some pastries.

Liam loves flowers and gardening. At the side of his and TK's cottage, they have a mini garden that grows flowers and veggies.

He usually makes bouquets and flower crowns with the flowers and sells them at the market area.

Sometimes asks Ikie with gardening help, especially with magic.

People often mistake him for a child due to his height. But its only because he's an elf.

Has a bit of a tummy pudge!

With the help of some of the fairies from Tinglewing village, they were able to cast a shapeshifting spell that flattened his chest.

Also doesn't like swearing, like TK.

Lee also likes to call TK as "Terry"

Loves all things soft. He has a huge plush collection that he's super proud of, and loves comfy and oversized clothing.

Ticklishness: 10/10

Worst Spots: Tummy, Sides, Ears

Laughter: Squealy and bubbly. Gets higher pitched the more intense the tickles get.

Squirms a lot unless he's in a tickle hug.

They're also a big fan of tickly kisses (Mostly from his boyfriends only).

He prefers more gentle or playful tickling. On rare occassions he does want to get wrecked.

Raspberries are an absolute killer for them, especially on his tum.

They also love feather tickles, or other soft tickle tools like makeup brushes or paintbrushes.

His ears and neck are a huge melt spot. Loves gentle tickles there, especially with feathers.

They blush easily to teases and shyly tries to hide it behind his sleeves.

Most of the time, he's able to ask for tickles, but there are also some times when he's too shy to do so. So instead he gives hints and tries to make it as obvious as possible (Ex: Giving the ler a feather).

Very cuddly after recieving tickles. Be prepared to cuddle for like 20 minutes or more. If his lers are TK and/or Ikie, he'll give them a hecking ton of kisses as a thanks.

Its rare for him to tickle someone since he's too shy to do so. But the only people he can tickle without regret is TK and Ikie. But he can only do a few pokes and scribbles before getting flustered.

#funfact: this is the 2nd time I remade his new ref sheet! There was a previous one that i recently scrapped because I wasnt happy with the- #-way i drew him (he appeared too much like a child. which is ironic since he literally does get mistaken for a child by other villagers lol #idk if he still looks too child-like here. Part of me feels like the cheeks are the problem but at the same time i dont wanna get rid of th #chubby cheeks since he's meant to be a lil chub hueueu. but ig i am more satisfied with this drawing of him #my art #my ocs #tickle #tickling #tickle art(?) #Puffbloom forest

I forget if you or Aria has talked about it before but what's the dynamic between Volo and Bellefleur like? like, is it solidly "bastian has two hands" and everything's cool -- ie Bellefleur sees Volo as part of husband's enrichment, Volo sees Bellefleur as The Lady Of His Lord standing as Bastian's equal regardless of whether he may or may not exalt her personally to the same degree as he does Bastian -- or is there any hint of tension? (also, cannot stress enough how much I love hearing about all of these characters, hope that Bastian is successful when attacks and dethrones God eventually <3)

You've hit it bang on, honestly.

Bellefleur feels very warm and proprietary towards Volo, who she met when he was just a puppy; now he's a terrifying hound at Bastian's heel, and Bellefleur couldn't be more pleased. It's good for husband to have a devoted servant who worships him, it serves as a constant reminder to husband of his full heaven-rending potential. Volo is also the sworn champion of Bastian and Bellefleur's little daughter, Rosemary, which Bellefleur would not allow (she is a fairy and she has a child all her own, the most precious thing) if she did not trust him completely.

For his part, Volo is in awe of Bellefleur, the most perfect lady for His Lord. She is wise and beautiful and ruthless, but more important than any of that, she sees Bastian clearly. To Volo, someone who feels like he lives in a world of fools who cannot see that God Himself is among them, Bellefleur is like a breath of fresh air. Volo reveres her because she is Bastian's Wife, and because she understands what that means.

#once bellefleur gave volo a kiss on the cheek for services rendered and he was utterly moved by the honor #(also bellefleur sees that volo and bastian act as iron on iron - making one another more insane (approving) every day #(the best quality in an ambitious antichrist) #also I'm so glad you love hearing about our folks we adore them #heretic

Double shift last weekend and this is the only picture I got (which my coworker actually took with me for her Facebook story RIGHT when I looked like shit and it was low effort makeup day because I had to be there early to open the bar)

#a drunk girl in the bathroom called me pretty and two other regulars kissed me on the cheek and called me pet names this is why I'm gay #one of those regulars (who's the bff of my coworker i haven't worked with yet because she's taking a break) asked me to have shots with her #she and the other girl are the sweetest every time i swear they're there almost every weekend and they call me Schatz and Maus #the moment i came back in after putting away my bag and jacket on saturday a middle aged guy mentioned my volbeat hoodie #talked about all the metal bands he's seen like judas priest acdc saxon iron maiden and showed me some new songs he's been into lately #later sang mama i'm coming home to/with me and he and another guy gave me lots of career advice and encouraged me to be bolder in interview #a metalhead dude with long blonde hair and beard (who was also at a concert I worked at last month) winked at me and gave me like €4 tips #and every time he ordered his drinks he put his hand on the back of my head to say it in my ear #because the music from the speakers above was kinda loud but technically not loud enough to do That gjsgfjdshhh 😭😭 #he's so hot too he looks like a kind boyish viking idk if that makes sense but 😫😫 #the amount of people who have flirted with me or acted a little bit 😏 in the last three months #but nothing came of it so far just trusting they'll come back soon when i'm working the shift again #no phone numbers no insta handles we pine like in the old days and smirk when we see each other for the first time in a while #my face #the bartender chronicles
