i feel like sometimes i dog on the movies a little bit for omitting so much important information or changing things a little too much but honestly there are a couple changes that i do like and appreciate- for example arwen. she only appears for like six pages in all three books and has a couple lines speaking with aragorn. i like that in the movie they changed her to be the person that rescues frodo after weathertop, because tbh having glorfindel pull up for 1 scene and then never be mentioned again would be extremely confusing for someone who doesn't know much about the legendarium. they also changed her personality to be more headstrong plus her mini-plot of arguing with elrond about choosing mortality just provides so much more depth to her and elrond. its just nice to have a third female character other than galadriel and eowyn who actually does something
Years of screenshots of this website on Pinterest have done their job. I’ve decided to join in. do I get, like, a rite of initiation or something? y’all seem like the type to do so
I like how in Night Watch Vimes has to face his younger self and has the universal experience of cringing at his younger self but realizes you need to start somewhere. You start out naive and ignorant then life bites you in the ass and you learn, unless you're Vetinari then you've always been cool.
I outgrew Harry & Ron & Hermione… And Alisa Seleznyova… And the Pevensies… And Kalle Blomkvist…
*sheds a tear*
the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
I seem to have gotten the same curse
Apparently I am cursed to get the best ideas for writing in only 3 places:
1. While I'm in the shower, getting ready in the morning
2. While I'm in bed, trying to fall asleep
3. While I'm sitting in class, and listening to the most boring explanations I have ever heard
I hate when I get clickbaited by physical mail. The envelope says “NOTICE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION” and then I open it and it’s like “Sign up for HelloFresh :)”
not even in a sexual way but i’m just craving affection because i feel like crap i just want someone to hug me for a couple of hours and tell me i’m going to be okay
“where do you get your ideas?”
me: *gestures vaguely to the chaos in my brain*
she/her || I’m a writer, I swear || and a huge fangirl || also a language learner and a nerd in general and a lot of other things
