The one to win them all

this quote from hbomberguy’s plagiarism video really resonated with me:

your craft is and always will be valuable, please never let anyone make you doubt that

This shit is heartbreaking.

Hopefully they're able to sue him and win, not only so they get some of the money they deserve, but also so that the newest noteworthy win in a plagiarism lawsuit isn't from the 80s.

One of JRR Tolkien’s ideas for Aragorn’s backstory in The Lord of the Rings was that he was actually just three or four generations removed from Isildur himself.

Then how did he survive for the thousands of years between the Second and Third Ages?

The story goes something like this:

Many hundreds of years ago, young Aragorn fell in love with an Elven woman, who exactly resembled Lúthien Tinúviel in shape and outward form.

She called herself Arwen Undómiel, the Evenstar.

He fell for her, and romanced her, and gave himself to her; together they lived in her kingdom, where her magic and her power slowed Time to a crawl for them, while hundreds and hundreds of years passed in the world outside.

At first, the Elven-maid seemed every inch a queen: beautiful, graceful, soft-spoken, meek, and with the manners befitting an upbringing in Valimar long ago.

But over time, Aragorn came to realize that his beloved had a hard, greedy, grasping side, even a cruel streak, which more and more showed itself in unexpected flashes.

Worse, she was not who she seemed to be.

Eventually Aragorn pieced together the secret.

His bride was Sauron, divested of her usual male disguise.

Greatly weakened by the loss of the Ring, Sauron yet maintained strength enough to craft a prison for the heir of Isildur: a false realm of hollow bliss and sterile delights, where the one she thought was the greatest threat to her power could languish in eternity.

A part of herself, wearing a female aspect – the gender she had hidden long ago in the deeps of time, to gain entrance as an apprentice to the smithies of Aule – remained in this pocket world, as Aragorn’s bride: a plaything to keep his attention from the bars of his gilded cage. 

But eventually, Aragorn figured it out.

Eventually, Aragorn escaped.

Thousands of years had gone by in the world outside since Aragorn had been ensnared by Sauron.

Now, emerging from long captivity in a magical sub-realm, he studied the world around him, and learned what had changed and what had endured.

He met Gandalf, and learned much from the Grey Pilgrim, and taught him some things of his own; and, in search of information, he pursued and captured Gollum, who had possessed, and been possessed by, the One Ring for so many centuries.

And, shortly before his ascent to the throne of the reunited Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor, he met his future bride: Eowyn Elfsheen, sister-daughter of Théoden, King of Rohan.

(PS: Christopher Tolkien or another amanuensis may have written this story down as part of the Secret Library Archive Project.)

I ship this now.

My reaction:

“Aragorn’s backstory“ Oh, ok, is this gonna be what the whole Amazon thing is going to be about?

“He meets Arwen“ Yeah ok

“She seemed evil” um, ok…that’s new.

“She was Sauron“

so you’re telling me Sauron was getting ploughed by Aragorn for thousands of years “as part of a fiendish plan to waylay the heir of Isildur”, no other reason, Sauron just lying back and thinking of Mordor, hating every second of it, is that what you’re telling me

#i ship eowyn and faramir#like…a lot#but this backstory for aragorn is so much better???#can you imagine him having to explain to frodo#that sauron is his ex???

I would pay SO MUCH MONEY TO SEE THAT! X3

Honestly living for this concept™️ like i fully see Sauron as like the bitter ex who just wanted Aragorn to propose and now hates all men,, but i just had a hernia at the term “sister-daughter” i hope he just meant “niece”?

“Why are Green Day so against Trump?” Because they have common sense

Actually it’s just becaue they’re controlled by the media.

Or maybe it’s because they looked at a man with a history of fraud and rape allegations, who has filed for bankruptcy four times, and who has the impulse control of a child, and thought “I don’t want to hand the most powerful political position on the planet to this man.”

Gee its almost like a band who lived in poverty, has two High School dropouts, a frontman who identified as bisexual for most of his career, played for charities like “Food not Bombs”, always talked about their disatisfaction with the government, always discouraged descrimation like homophobia and racism at shows, WROTE AMERICAN IDIOT, wrote a song for an anti-Bush album and whose frontman called out Drumpf in 20 fucking 11 has always been against disgusting bigots like Donald Trump!

Or ya know. Somehow the media as been controlling them since 1989. Guess we will never truly know.

Hello I would like to talk to you about a little thing called ‘Punk’ 

when she realizes she’s been busted!

i just walked past the apartment beneath mine and through an open window i could hear my downstairs neighbor crying faintly while the song jolene played in the background and im just like… bitch are you okay…?

I actually ended up going back downstairs to check on her and brought some leftover cookies I baked this afternoon. she’s very sweet and going through a Breakup Mood™️ after being cheated on. she’s coming over to my gf and I’s annual bad movie night on Friday and she even let me pet her cat named Clarence

my gf thinks it’s funny but very fitting that our downstairs neighbor was able to summon a concerned lesbian just by playing jolene while crying about being done dirty by a man

i’m losing my mind

*epidemic of porn bots breaks out due to tumblr’s own negligence*

If this ain’t the tea, tho.

Yet pornbots still exist

A perfect balance of bullshit and fucking bull shit.
