ts is a billionaire, where MJ was a millionaire and donated millions so that he could feed starving people and get a kid he didn’t know a liver so he wouldn’t die. ts has donated and helped kids with cancer, but has in total donated less than MJ did, and he had less than her

ts posed for a photo with a guy who had a giant swastika painted on his shirt and is engaged to a misogynistic trumpie who’s admitted he doesn’t wash his ass, where MJ was actively anti fascist. Also the scene in “Thriller” when he’s smashing windows originally had hate symbols/nazi symbols written on them. He was forced to change it because regular vandalism is apparently worse than vandalism against nazis

ts is either extremely loved or extremely hated, where MJ united two rival gangs for a music video

ts hasn’t said anything about Palestine, where MJ was actively pro Palestine

ts hard launched her relationship with one of the kennedys the MOMENT he turned 18. And if she truly wasn’t dating him before then, that means she was praying on him and waiting for him to be legal. No matter how hard the government tried, they found NOTHING that supported the idea that MJ ever sexually abused children, and he was found innocent time and time again. Cory Feldman was a victim of a Hollywood pdfile ring and came to the police with NAMES, and they said they didn’t want them, they ONLY wanted stuff on MJ. Why? Because he was anti fascist. Cory Feldman has defended MJ constantly since the accusations came out, saying that MJ was his safe space. And many of the families who accused MJ in the first place admitted that they were only trying to get money out of him. Those parents risked their kids’ safety for money, and that’s something Michael Jackson would never do.

ts compared homophobia to her online haters, where MJ funded AIDS research throughout his life

The moonwalk has been a huge media reference for decades, but I don’t know of anything ts has like that. I guess maybe friendship bracelets, but that isn’t strictly her thing; she didn’t coin it

ts has exploited her fans as well as her ex’s mental health for content and sympathy for herself a ridiculous amount of times and has sold asylum themed merchandise, where MJ has struggled his whole life and never once tried to make a profit off of pain

When Charli XCX sang about how ts made her insecure, ts went for her coke addiction, called her a chihuahua, and claimed that she was secretly in love with her. When eminem (someone who’s used the n word btw) dissed Michael Jackson (a black man) for attention, Michael Jackson humbled him by saying he didn’t know who he was and moved on (he never bought eminem’s catalog; that was his publishers)

MJ was anti racist, and ts has a new album and merch full of dog whistles

Felt the urge to edit some tumblr/twitter shitposts with LOTR characters (feat. one Bilbo in The Hobbit)

While the hobbits are on the quest, their clothes get holes and such. This leads Sam and Frodo to nab small things from the other members of the fellowship, like handkerchiefs or anything too worn for use, to use as patches. Merry and Pippin aren't so courteous, and cut pieces from the fellowship's clothes while they sleep.

Of course, the hobbits exchange patches amongst themselves while traveling, and they never go anywhere without a needle and some thread. Sam is the best at sewing. Pippin is not allowed around needles.

Boromir notices this, thinks it's adorable, and leaves things out purposely for the hobbits to use. Eventually, he asks about it, and they convince him to do the patches, too.

Aragorn also notices and thinks it's adorable, but doesn't bring it up to them. He's secretly flattered to find pieces of his rag on Frodo's pants. He asks Boromir about it instead.

Legolas doesn't notice. His clothes are elven-made, and the scissors refuse to cut it.

Gimli notices the random holes in his clothes, and the things going missing, but doesn't realize it's the hobbits. He brings it up to Legolas, who immediately convinces Gimli that he's crazy and it's all in his head.

Gandalf notices, obviously, and he doesn't mind until Pippin tries to cut his cloak while hes asleep. He proceeds to wake up and yell at him until dawn.

After Boromir dies, Aragorn takes his cloak, and sews pieces onto his clothes. These are the only patches he has.

1/3 of the Fellowship

The Dwarfs are very clearly inspired mainly from Old Norse, so that's the main reference for Gimli's dress. There's also some other influences, like some Bronze Age Mediterranean influences and Iron Age Eastern Europe.

To me Tolkien's elves are very high Middle Ages and Gothic, but for Sindar I mixed in plenty of Celtic and especially Irish influence, and based Legolas' dress heavily on Irish léine.

Pippin thinks Legolas is a woman

Boromir is convinced that the hobbits are all 15 max

Everyone thinks that Merry and Pippin are twins, except for Legolas, who is convinced the hobbits are quadruplets

Sam thinks that Aragorn, Boromir and Legolas don't have to eat to survive

Legolas doesn't mention things he sees or hears because he thinks the others have noticed them too and just assumes they have a plan

Pippin complains that he is hungry and Legolas just gives him a handful of grass. Pippin is so confused that he just takes it, and now Legolas tries to figure out what hobbits can eat by just giving them random shit, like

Things the hobbits have accepted and likely eaten later (a list by legolas)

-Grass - Leaves

-Stones - a hair tie

-A feather - one of Gimli's shoes

My Lord of the Rings stationary set for SDCC and Lightbox Expo! Cozy hobbit themed sticker sheets, mini prints, sticky notes, as well as a Fellowship washi tape! I'm so happy with how they turned out!

Don't forget this one of Frodo giving side eye like a diva:

And this one of Sam always makes me giggle:

And Saruman giving bat wings:

And these guys:
