• 'but whyyy would tolkien shoehorn sam into a romantic relationship with rosie when it's so obvious that frodo's the most important person in his life?'

    hear me out, what if...and this is a long shot...tolkien had lived through some deeply harrowing experiences that emphasised that people can love each other in different ways and they're all equally important? and that the strongest bonds you form aren't always explicitly romantic? what if everything in tolkien's work (eowyn's different loves for faramir and aragorn, boromir having no interest in romantic relationships and putting everything into his love for his city) fairly dripped with the idea that romance isn't the only important sort of love? what then?

  • Boycotting (unless stated otherwise) hurts strikes. The message you're sending to corporations when you boycott isn't "support your workers or I'll stop giving you money" the message you're sending is "I don't care about your workers."

    When it comes to the current strike with WGA, you can absolutely watch whatever you like. You can watch the Barbie movie, Good Omens, Oppenheimer, the PJO remake, the FNAF movie, the One Piece movie, or whatever else.

    The movies and shows you want to boycott aren't out yet. If the strike continues for long enough, Hollywood could be desperate and make a movie only using AI and that's the movie you'll want to boycott.

    If you don't have an alternate to piracy, that's fine, piracy is for cool kids (and if you want to know some piracy tips r/piracy is a good place to look and you can feel free to DM me because I'm more than happy to share the sites I use). But if you want to support the strike do not boycott.

    my imp krongus: *doubtfully* yes, my lord

    me: i did eventually kill the mouse with a needle for a sword

    krongus: it’s just that it was so close, my lord
