Athena and her two gens of fav mortals
It seems like it’s a lot nicer and easier to travel when you’re cishet
Merry, to Frodo, lying face-down on bed, regretting being alive: And then I called him dad.
Boromir, to Aragorn, sobbing: And then he called me dad.
I appreciate the Thirteenth Doctor for a great many reasons but the thing I loved about her more than anything else is that of all the NuWho Doctors she's the first one who had the presence of mind to not fucking regenerate in the TARDIS, in flight.
I assume it's because after Twelve's regeneration, Thirteen was the first one to actually lose the TARDIS instead of just crashing the fuck out of it like her previous incarnations. (Side note, the TARDIS fucking throws her out like a salt shaker, do we think Sexy was miffed that she got a woman Doctor after all this time? Or was she just fed up with all the Doctors regenerating in the console room and giving her the mother of indigestions and just took it out on Thirteen to teach her a lesson? If it's the latter, it obviously worked, just sayin'.)
Look at her, respectfully parking the TARDIS and stepping outside to regenerate out in the open:
...like a reasonable Time Lord who knows and understands that regeneration Fucks Things Up and you shouldn't do it in cramped spaces.
And it's not like the others regenerated accidentally or were running away from something, in fact they all held it in until they were safe and then calmly walked into the TARDIS, took off and then promptly regenerated. Like, my dude, you know you're going to break everything in the ship with your regeneration and you know you're totally out of it for a while after you regenerate, so absolutely not in a position to deal with a broken, crashing TARDIS. WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP DOING IT LIKE THIS? smh
Thank you, Thirteen, for being the first Doctor to display some common sense in your regeneration.
The Fellowship movie did Bilbo so dirty ☠️ I know they didn’t make the hobbit movies yet so they were trying to keep the focus on Frodo but:
Bilbo is friends with Aragorn and comes to his defense over Boromir rather than Legolas
Bilbo volunteers to take the ring to Mordor first so nonchalantly like an old queer professor on sabbatical volunteering to cover a 101 course and everyone at the council is honored by his offer
Literally not even scared or sad about it or anything — just straight up “yeah okay I see what you’re getting at, Lord Elrond, I’ll do it 💅 guess I’ll have to rewrite the ending of my book”
Bilbo doesn’t ask to see the ring again or make a go at Frodo but instead sings a sad little song out the window after giving him Sting and his mithril shirt
“it is my dwarf-mail that Thorin gave me” AAAH
Bilbo’s there when they leave Rivendell in the winter and tells them good luck like a worried little peepaw
Also the movie makes it sound like he never got to Erebor but HE DID and was traveling with some of the original company including Gloin who’s the only one who smiles when Bilbo volunteers to take the ring to Mordor
"….Okay, are any of the dishes not poisoned?! Is there anyone at this feast who did not poison anything?!"
You pretend to be a small-time villain. At most, you annoy the local supers, but your crimes never hurt anyone. To you it's all good fun. Things change when a truly sadistic supervillain invades your turf and murders a few of the supers. No one has seen the extent of your true powers until now.
Boromir “They took the little ones” really doesn’t get enough credit for how sweet he is to Merry and Pippin. Sword fighting and training with them, protecting them from orcs - despite his flaws he was kind at heart.
there is no soul of an artist that distinguishes them from some 'non-artist' category of person that could simply never comprehend what it is like. anyone can make art. you should know this by now. from ratatouille
