THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY

the biggest shock in the Lord of the Rings is not Frodo learning that the ring his uncle left him is the One Ring, nor Gimli discovering that Gandalf survived the fall from the bridge of Khazad-dûm, but Barliman the innkeeper hearing that the dirty old homeless man who used to live in the woods and would come in to bum a beer off him in exchange for a poem had just been crowned king of the entire world.

my long time conspiracy theory is that the huge prevalence of "dead wife" trope is because a lot of writers want their cool male protagonist to be single and/or focused on his goal but don't know how else "justify" him not pursuing women around him sexually or god forbid turn their advances down that is not emasculating in their mind

"My name is John Movie and I'm here in this bar being a guyman" "Hi~ My name is Jessica Lipgloss and I feel inexplicably drawn to your brown stubble and blank expression" "Sorry lady.

He is actually already achieved social status of Acquiring a Woman to Sleep With but she died:'( So he is sad and loyal actually. He breathe through his skin.

a lot of people could stand to start viewing the nakba and the holocaust as a continuum rather than as competitive binaries
