It tickled my ears when I heard someone says Thranduil is not powerful enough, or he become the elvenking just because his father, Oropher is the 1st.
Did people read the apendix?? According to the apendix Sauron fought the last battles of the third age on several fronts, and the day of the battle of the Pellinor, he also sent orcs armies into Mirkwood and attack Thranduil's kingdom.
Thranduil' army is a badass, and utterly defeated the army of Sauron. Sauron always though Thranduil was enough of is threat that his kingdom was single out for destruction and Thranduil with the silvan elves proved him right.
In movie canon he also defeated the great serpents of the north. And unfortunately cause a permanent scars on his face. And he powerful enough to made out alive and put a charm on his face for a thousands year.
And don't forget he and his father is the survivor from doriath, and he also survive from the battle of the last alliance. Even his father and Gil Galad, the strongest king of the high elves died in that battle.
And he also can feel the present of Bilbo with the one ring. He's not talking with Tauriel, he's talking straight to Bilbo's face. That means he can feel the one ring.
He might be less wise and less powerful than Elrond, despite for being older than him. But he is not a weak elf, he even can protect his kingdom with his own charm and source without the rings of power.
SO FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY HE IS WEAK...
PISS OFF ......
Daughter! @legoriel-fan it''s time to defend your adar
this is what everyone has been saying!! no one is looking at celebrities for political statements, but they should and must use their platform to amplify the voices of those who need and most importantly be against this genocide!!
had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.
After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.
“I like your shoelaces.”
Oh. Oh no.
I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president...and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”
The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”
Also idk if I need to state this publicly again but hello, Ai is my name and I'm an artist but I draw things with my hands. I'm not artificial intelligence; if anything, I'm organic stupidity.
I think people sometimes misunderstand why we come up with such elaborate justifications for shipping two characters together. I don't justify my ships because I feel that I need to; I justify my ships because squinting at the published canon with furrowed brow and asking myself "okay, how exactly would this work?" is my idea of a good time.
I rlly like the emphasis that live action one piece is putting on the fact that literally nobody else think about piracy the way luffy does. "Being a pirate is about being free and having friends :3" while every other pirate is doing legitimate career criminal shit around him.
an ex-zionist jewish man recently went a bit viral on tiktok for sharing exactly how he sees zionism tie israel to the jewish identity and his personal experience with breaking away from it - I think it’s a really great watch.
He also made a follow up talking specifically about how he learned to humanise Palestinians, and a really integral part of it was his school, which would often bring in Palestinian speakers who’d share their perspective (here’s a link to it).
It’s time we accept that Percy Jackson is an unreliable narrator. He’s not dumb. He’s just insecure. He’s not clueless about his and Annabeth’s feelings. He’s just in denial. He’s not clueless about Rachel’s feelings. He just doesn’t want to do anything about them. His mother isn’t perfect. He just loves and respects her more than anyone in the world. That boy contradicts his own inner monologue all the time. Do not trust him!!
