A thought about the Halls of Mandos. What is finrod famous for, above anything else? His friendships with and love for mortals. What kind of love must that cultivate, by necessity? A love that can let go. A spirit that can give up the old and welcome the new.

What was Fëanor’s fatal flaw? Same as Anakin’s: he can’t let go. Of his mother, of his father, of his resentments, of his children. He cannot bear to lose anybody. And Fingolfin cannot bear to lose Fëanor.

Anyway the halls of Mandos are a literal rebirth, a letting-go: one must be willing to give up all one’s old scars, all one’s old hurts, the map that life has left on your body, the resentments that war has left on your spirit, and that is why Finrod was able to shed his old skin and don the new, and why Fëanor will wait in the Halls until the breaking of the world.

i get incredibly disgusted when i see men in public in an irrelevant environment for it and they're shirtless. why are you halfnaked if youre not swimming. i dont know how to adequately explain it but it's a mixture of almost entitlement, disregard, and ignorance that they do this under and it is repulsive. i have a neighbor that mows his lawn shirtless and he looks like a greased up roasted sausage with boobs and i hate it every time i have to see it, why do you feel the need first of all and why do you think other people are somehow just ok with you not wearing clothes outside. it's weird.

On tumblr, a site that supposedly doesn’t have porn, will literally keep porn posts as long as the porn is in a reblog instead of the original post.

And yet this post not only has all the images deleted, but all of the reblogs are deleted in the notes and op is deactivated. This post got more of a thorough response than the porn posts that have already been reported to staff. That’s where tumblr staff see the real issue: a singer pointing out that men can get cosmetic surgery before women’s health needs.

(I’m gonna delete the post after a few reblogs/posts on archive links because I’m not trying to get termed but the level of hypocrisy is insane)

Last seconds of Fingolfin.

I started painting it one day with no plan in mind and I still like how it turned out...

Just putting this out there to let people know to watch what they post because you can be found and if you think that the government can't do this ...

Well, you better think again!!

Reminder that in 2017 4chan played capture the flag with Shia LaBeouf. Without any kind of a retail store to use for landmarks they got a rough estimate of the flags location from a livestream. They used the position of the sun to narrow it down to a specific time zone, they tracked the flight paths of planes seen flying overhead to further narrow it down. Then someone in the area drove around honking his horn while viewers on the livestream told him if he was getting closer until he found and stole the flag.

A good example of what one person who knows coding can do, and what a mobile group can do.

you know how bilbo has what he calls his “tookish side,” aka the adventurous slightly impulsive side. elrond is the same, except instead of tookish it’s finwean, and he doesnt actually say it aloud.

Everybody who wears The One Ring in LOTR starts to refer to it as ‘My Precious,’ and Tolkien’s right that is super creepy, but what I really love is that everybody does it, which says to me that this super powerful scary evil sentient ring has a favorite pet name and just, like, will not respond to anything else.

Hey uhh @piyo-13 you cant hide brilliance like these in the tags

[piyo-13]

look i’m just saying, even as educated as frodo is, would he really KNOW the true name of sauron? like shit, of any of the elves left in middle earth by the time the events of LotR actually happen, only círdan and galadriel are old enough to remember that sauron existed in valinor (not counting old sindarin/avari elves because iirc sauron was never called mairon on the shores of ara [except possibly by melkor wink wonk]), let alone what his name was.
so to everyone in ME, he’s always been sauron, and there’s no connection to “precious” in any linguistic sense…
but mairon remembers.

[swilmarillion]

no you’re a hundred percent right!! no one would know, and it wouldn’t make sense to anyone except maybe Gandalf, but that shredded little piece of sauron’s souls remembers

[marithlizard]

Oh, wow.   

[scarletjedi]

this is why i love lotr fandom. this right here

[shaelit]

so what you’re saying is there’s a tiny piece of sauron’s soul tucked smug into the Ring just going around introducing itself as “i’m babey”

This post has justified every second of every minute, hour, and collective day I have ever spent on Tumblr. It was all worth it for this.
