Under that Old Apple Tree a Ringwraith sleeps

“My dear Frodo!’ exclaimed Gandalf. ‘Hobbits really are amazing creatures, as I have said before. You can learn all that there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you at a pinch.”

The Land Before Time (prints)

Some of my favorite magic side effects:

-Nosebleeds. Never gets old.

-Coughing up blood. The good ol’ “cough into your hand and pull it back to see blood” also never gets old.

-Headaches. You keep fighting as your head pounds, desperately telling you to take a break. At first they fade within minutes when you stop using magic, but overtime, they become chronic.

-Fatigue. After a big battle, you stand triumphant, and then just fall asleep on the spot.

-In a similar vein, overuse causing you to straight up faint rather than just fall asleep. Darkness begins to overtake your vision in the middle of battle, unconsciousness abruptly looming over you.

-Any of the side effects happening to another person. Maybe two close characters are connected, and whatever side effects character A would normally endure are transferred to character B. When A uses a blast of magic B screams loudly because holy shit that hurt.

-Magic gradually deteriorating your mind. Using it too much eventually caused hallucinations and an inability to retain memories, or even larger scale memory loss. 

Feel free to add more, I’m looking for some to steal

#personally im a huge fan of magic that burns you up#magic that causes fevers and ravages your flesh until you waste away#magic that holding onto is like trying to contain the power of the sun

oh look, it’s my wheelhouse!

i want to see more chronically ill and wasted magic users. give me people who have no choice in their deterioration, who are trying to slow the process or to burn themselves out as fast as they can. magic as an inescapable curse. magic as destiny (horror edition).

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY 2016 | dir. Gareth Edwards

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King dir. Peter Jackson

Absolutely one of my favorite sequences from these films.

Nuuskamuikkunen: “Senkin vanha, homeinen tiskirätti, tottele minua! Katala, härski, maneetin maksa!” Niisku: “Onko tuo muka hyvä ajatus?” Nuuskamuikkunen: “Suututetaan pensas niin se käy meidän kimppuumme. Sinun vuorosi sanoa jotain ilkeää!” Niisku: “Hmmm… Idiootti! Niin juuri, IDI-OOT-TI!” Nuuskamuikkunen: “Jatka!” Niisku: “Idiootti angolatuura!” Nuuskamuikkunen: “Angostuura.” Niisku: “Älynlahjasi ovat täysin mitättömät!” Nuuskamuikkunen: “Senkin lakastunut vesililja, lellitty villakko, surkea torakan kakka. Käypäs kimppuumme!” Niisku: “Sanon vielä kerran, että olet idiootti, IDIOOTTI!”

And now we meet Thowra’s equine nemesis, The Brolga. Even his own mares dislike him. 

Hope those grey mares aren’t shod behind.
