You know I'm trying very hard not to ship Caleb & Molly because I know that my favorite tiefling won't last long but Caleb saying stuff like :
" The only thing magic here is you friend. "
Is making it very complicated for me.
Gandalf: we need a plan
Gandalf: *points at Merry and Pippin* no explosions
Gandalf: *points at Gimli* no cursing towards elves
Gandalf: *points at Legolas* absolutely no using a shield as a fucking snowboard
Gandalf: *points at Aragorn* preferably no falling down the cliff
Gandalf: *points at Boromir* you just better be happy to still be there so stay quiet in the back, will you?
Gandalf: *points at Sam and Frodo* and we don’t sacrifice ourselves!
Gandalf: you know what, I will do the planning

Boromir, having no idea about geography of Middle-Earth past Rohan: so… you live in Mirkwood?
Legolas: so first of all, my father lives in Mirkwood
Legolas: I tend to live in the moment

Gandalf: so, what was your plan precisely?
Aragorn: Pretty much save everyone and come home unharmed?
Gandalf: plan, Aragorn, p l a n, not a fucking wishlist!

Boromir: as your adoptive older brother I will absolutely not allow you to do this stupid, immature thing…
Merry & Pippin: :((
Boromir: …alone
Boromir: and we don’t tell Faramir until we need to be bailed out of citadel’s jail
how it feels to be online these days
One element I love about a Boromir Lives AU is Boromir being Aragorn's Andy Sachs

Please forgive me if the format runs off…
So the thing about c!Technoblade (I say, as if there is only one thing) but one thing about him that always sticks with me is the choice of his codename in the Syndicate.
Because at first glance, Protesilaus was the first bloodthirsty stab-happy warrior off the boat in the Trojan War, eager for battle, unheeding of death, which is one way to view c!Techno's character (how many times did characters view him as a resource or a weapon before or even after Doomsday, where he was literally screaming, "I'M A PERSON!").
And at second glance, he’s a willing martyr, who knew about the prophecy that the first man to land at Troy would be the first to die, and would rather it was him than his friends, which is another way to view him, one that seems closer to who he actually is ("leave Phil alone, just take me!", anyone?).
But c!Technoblade chose his name without ever abandoning his catchphrase of "Technoblade never dies", which is what sticks with me -- because he didn't just state that he'd die for his friends and leave it at that. He promised to protect them and to live for them.
Protesilaus is destined to be the first of his comrades to die by immovable fate, but also Technoblade never dies, which means that none of his comrades will, either.
He made it a promise. "I won’t die, therefore the gods will have no choice but to let all my friends live."
By something as simple as choosing a name, c!Technoblade (who for months was wary of identifying who his friends even were, especially after what the Butcher Army did to Philza, whose only crime was being his friend) told everyone in the Syndicate that if harm came to them, it would be because he was already dead, and that he never intended to let either of those things happen.
OP made this unreblogable but I had to show y'all
