Reblog If You Think Public Libraries Are Important And Should Be Maintained.

Your right, time is precious. Nothing you do can get you more time, death is inevitable. All the more reason to live while you can.

Like Gandalf said,                                                                                              “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

As I write my Aralas fic I keep trying to come up with ways for Aragorn to become immortal. Even though my fic is set 60+ years before FOTR, and Aragorn won't die in cannon for another 190 years, I am forced to deal with his mortality compared to the elves. 210 years is a VERY long time, but when it is compared to an elf who has already lived over a millennium, it's basically moments.

I've tried to come up with loopholes, like Eru made Tuor immortal, couldn't he do that for Aragorn? Couldn't Legolas sneak him into the undying lands like he did with Gimli in cannon? Aragorn is technically part of Elros's bloodline, so theoretically shouldn't he be able to choose between mortality and immortality like Arwen?

But in the end I keep coming back to the same place. Yes, there are plenty of ways I can make him immortal, but maybe I don't have to. Maybe in the end Aragorn dies and he and Legolas don't get to be together in the undying lands, and maybe that's okay.

When characters constantly cheat death it cheapens it, it takes away its meaning. Aragorn, and the rest of the men for that matter, were given the gift of mortality, a precious, precious gift in the eyes of Eru. Why should he give that up?

Nothing can last forever, not in life and not in fiction. Shouldn't it be enough just to enjoy it while we have it?

I am crying now. This is so sad. Try again Spot, it’ll work next time. Race is head over heels for you!

Spot: hey so I was wondering-

Race watching Jojo and Albert doing something stupid

Spot: um if you maybe

Race: STOP

Race: I’m sorry I have to go stop my friends I’ll see you later

Spot standing alone: I wanted to know if you wanted to go out on a date with me

Spot: yeah that was worth practicing for three hours in the mirror

So I may have been re-absorbed into the Phandom (Danny Phantom), so I did a character study. I tried out some different things, and like how 5/6 came out, so I decided to share. Hope you like it!

so I just finished watching Hawkeye. I should have finished it long ago, I know, but life got in the way.  I love it. OMG. It almost beats falcon and the winter soldier, and definitely beats loki and wandavision.

In a lot of lotr Modern AUs, a lot of people make Aragorn the Mom friend and I find it outrageous! Like, Aragorn is totally the friend who: lives on coffee, never sleeps, smokes weed, dosn’t pay his taxes (if he has them), hasn't washed his hair is 3 years, skips class (If high school or collage AU) and probably has killed someone. Like, yeah, he cares about his friends, but his solution to most likely anything is murder and/or coffee. The real mom friend of the Fellowship is Boromir, he probably cares snacks every where and is, like, the only member of the fellowship who doesn't smoke pipe weed.

Hey guys! Just a reminder to you all to wear masks when seeing family, especially older ones. The mask is for keeping others safe, even if you’re vaccinated still wear one. Have happy and safe holidays all of you!

Lmao

Julius Caeser, 44 BC: Let me see what you have!

Senators:

Lets talk about the Fellowship for a second. They’re all kinda outcasts, all very different from the rest of their races or family. Lets dig a little deeper into each one, looking at both their movie and book selves.

Frodo: Frodo’s an orphan, his parents drown and he went to live with Bilbo. Bilbo was already thought of as weirdo by the other hobbits because of his adventure, so Frodo, they thought, must be just as odd. Also movie Frodo is much to thin to be considered pretty by hobbit standers and both Frodos are a bit to adventurous.

Sam: Not much to say here, as Sam is an exemplary hobbit. His looks are hobbity enough and he enjoys gardening. The two things that set him apart are, his desire to meet the elves, and, of course, his association with the Baggins.

Merry: Merry is a Brandybuck, which are not all that respectable to the hobbits of Hobbiton, they go out in boats after all. Also he and Pippin definitely are a bit adventurous for hobbits.

Pippin: Pippin is very curious, and curiosity leads to adventure. He is a Took, an outcast from the hobbits of Hobbiton. Like I said befor, he and Merry are definitely a bit adventurous for hobbits.

Aragorn: Aragron is a ranger, lives on the outskirts of civilization. As we see in Bree, people are a bit afraid of him, he’s just too odd, too different. Aragorn also lived in Rivendell, but he was a man among elves, also too different. He’s too human for the elves, yet to elven for the humans.

Legolas: Legolas is the prince of Mirkwood. His father is Thranduil, who, after the death of his wife, turns cold and distant. Legolas also associates himself with humans, unlike the other Mirkwood elves.

Gimli: Gimli is entirely respectable before the quest. I can’t really think of any thing to say about him. (edit: Milkywhoreos is corenct, Gimli is to diplomatic and poetic.)

Boromir: Boromir is respected and loved by Gondor, but his family life? He probably had to raise his brother and loves him more than anything, but his father is a big jerk.

Gandalf: Do I even have to say anything here? Gandalf is completely bonkers (But, like, in a good way.)

So, in conclusion? Each member of the Fellowship was practically alone before they found each other. They had small, broken or non-existing families, and/or were un-liked by others. Then they found these other alone people, and said “I didn’t really have anyone, and they all didn’t ether. But now we got each other, and I don’t care if you’re an elf, or a dwarf, or a hobbit,or a wizard,or a human, we’re now family.” They didn’t have family, so they found one.

I just read the Silmarillion. I am confused.
