i cannot fucking believe i'm seeing people say that elon musk did the roman salute in a "roman" way and not in a fascist way. the romans did not invent the roman salute, it didn't EXIST in roman culture. it's called roman salute bc it's reminiscent of the act of outstretching the right hand among roman generals/officials + bc of inaccurate neoclassical paintings and depictions of romans. the salute itself is a symbol of nationalism adopted by fascist and far right movements. you cannot do it in a "roman" way.
rewatching lotr, and rewatched the hobbit trilogy like 2 weeks ago, and i must say. i love this franchise for all its “i knew a guy who knew a guy” relations. like to give just one example, gimli presumes for a second, like the whole fellowship, that frodo got injured by the cave troll in moria. but he’s actually just fine! because frodo just happens to be gimli’s dad’s boss’s situationship’s nephew, and therefore has the mithril shirt that gimli’s dad’s boss gave to his situationship right before gimli’s dad’s boss led the company to battle against, among others, legolas’s dad. legolas’s old situationship from like last year (60 years ago) was also there and chose, get this, gimli’s dad’s boss’s nephew over him. i love yall

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.
