Tower of Barad-dûr

This scene gayer than Oscar Wilde, Ru Paul, and Lady Gaga combined

Frodo Baggins, sitting in a tree, R-E-A-D-I-N-G ♡

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

good god 🥵

No but like, this is the thing about Sam carrying Frodo and the ring up the mountain. It's a cool scene in the movie, but they don't explain what's happening at all. The ring at this point is so heavy Frodo can't even lift his head. It's like essentially a cinder-block he has to carry around his neck. And finally he gives up and Sam offers to carry him and:

DO YOU GUYS GET IT? THE RING IS A BURDEN, BUT FRODO ISN'T. FRODO DOESN'T WEIGH ANYTHING TO SAM. SAM CAN LIFT HIM EASILY!!!! HE'S NOT A BURDEN AT ALL I —

scurvy has got to have one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unraveling and old wounds come back to haunt you like vengeful ghosts. unless☝️you eat a lemon

I'm sorry, what? You mean to tell me the Sleep Token pre-sale was today? The first day of spring? The season of renewal, growth, and rebirth?

You mean the season of letting go of old and embracing the new? 🌸🗡

I just need to leave this part of me behind.

im just out here trying to eat fruit and stay moisturized and drink water and recover from childhood trauma and protect my vibes, man

I don't think people who say Merry and Pippin just stumbled along to Frodo's journey because "they dumb" really get how similar it is to the books in terms of devotion and friendship.

Sure, in the books they're like:

"Yeah, we knew. For a long time. We have been preparing. There's a whole conspiracy and shit. We are coming with you. End of discussion."

But in the movie?

Yeah, sure. It's by an accident. At first. The second things move forward and danger presents itself, they barely ask any questions. They just trust him and go with him without any preparations. Without any hesitations. They just grab their shit and go

"Alright, where we headed my dude?"
