Two Women Kissing in Nature (b. 1859)
ā by Georges Rochegrosse
Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says āYeah I killed a huge spiderā¦Shelob, I think?ā
And Gandalf just blinks and is like, āYou what now?ā
āYeah, killed it. Had to save Frodoā
Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.
the daughter of the embodiment of darkness which ate the original sun and moon and almost ate the devil.
That's not important. What is important is that it was a danger to Mister Frodo.
Time for me to info dump about Sam and Shelob.
In lord of the rings lore, there are three tiers of deities. The highest tier and most dangerous includes Morgoth - Sauronās master, and Ungoliant, Shelobās master. The middle tier includes Shelob, Sauron. Then thereās the lowest tier, which includes the wizards Gandalf and Saruman as well as the Balrog (this is why Gandalf couldnāt 1v1 the Balrog). It also explains why Gandalf doesnāt take the ring, the magic of a tier 2 deity would absolutely corrupt him. We even see that happen with Saruman and the Palantir.
This leads to the start of the answer to some interesting questions. Why does Sauron tolerate Shelob being in his territory, and why does Sauron tolerate there being a secret back door into Mordor?
On the surface, he does it because he might not be able to beat Shelob in a fight, after all theyāre the same tier of deity. And since Shelobās domain is the secret way into Mordor, he canāt close it off, and he seriously doubts anyone can use it to get in. He doesnāt monitor the path with guards either - Shelob would eat them.
It gets more detailed than that though. Sauronās boss, Morgoth, and Shelobās boss, Ungoliant, made a deal. Theyād attack the tree of life together. Morgoth would drink the nectar, and Ungoliant would keep all of the jewels and magic they earned along the way. Morgoth broke this deal because there was a particularly powerful gem he wanted (the gem in Sauronās helmet), and as a result Ungoliant went to war with Morgoth.
Ungoliant won, Morgoth barely escaped with his life.
So not only does Sauron maybe lose if he attacks Shelob. Even if he were to win, it might provoke Ungoliant into attacking Morgoth again, and Ungoliant wins that fight, sheās already done it once.
With all of that established, how the hell does Sam hurt a deity that powerful?
Well, to start, itās impossible. Shelobās hide is so tough Sam could never pierce it with all his might. However, Shelob had grown old and arrogant. During the fight, Sam winds up directly underneath Shelob, and Shelob decides to crush Sam with all her strength.
Unfortunately, Sam is pointing sting straight up.
While Sam lacks the strength to hurt Shelob, Shelob herself is plenty strong. She accidentally impales herself on sting, finding herself injured for the first time in thousands of years. Which is the sort of poetry I really appreciate about Tolkienās writing.
No matter how powerful or evil or ancient or indestructible your foe, if you stand for what is right and hold your sword out, they will impale themselves upon it.
Samās backstory in this scene is much simpler. He has to save Frodo.
I love it when tolkien fans reblog posts with the deep lore receipts. Thank you
Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they donāt know In The Context Of:
More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about āfinding other gaysā or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and Iām like :)))))))) hey buddy Iām here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))
Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Donāt call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you donāt even know me? Especially when thereās a bunch of ppl around?
i was out with my ex once when three *very* young queer kids, like thirteen years old, came up to us and asked us āare you guys, you knowā¦ā and did the limp wrist thing at us. one of them loudly exclaimed that it was so cool to meet other queer people in real life. this was in public in an unbelievably conservative area - we didnāt even feel safe holding hands because we were surrounded by Mormons. we got lucky that day, but Iām begging yāall to remember that the world doesnāt work like the internet. other queers are real fuckin people. donāt do this shit. OP is right; tell me you like my jacket, or my patches, or the rainbow spokes on my wheelchair, but donāt out either of us!
This used to be standard operating procedure not even ten years ago: NEVER OUT OTHER QUEERS, even if theyāre supposedly already out. Never assume that itās okay to let third parties know that so-and-so is queer. Ever. You never know when youāve found the one uncle with the heart condition that they canāt bear to risk telling, or the one neighbor whoās just threatening enough that they donāt mention it around, or even the grandma that they havenāt gotten around to mentioning it to yet. You might have just ruined a very important milestone for someone, or you could have put them at actual risk of harm.
Also⦠stop freaking assuming. If you donāt see a pride flag on them, please donāt just assume. You canāt tell ANYTHING about a personās gender or partner preferences by what theyāre wearing on any given day, what their hair looks like, or whether or not theyāre using makeup. You legit cannot, and you look like a jerk when you try.
this is even more important now that Trump is in power.
some people will be choosing to live in the closet and it is not your job to pressure them one way or the other.
protect your lgbtq siblings - honor their choices - and never talk to cops, collaborators, and snitches.
Younger queer people have grown up in a better world, but weāre in a time of backsliding right now. Do NOT out other queer people. Also, Iām not gonna tell you how to present yourselves in publicā¦ā¦ā¦..but please, I am begging you to re-evaluate HOW safe you are in the current climate.
this is your daily reminder to take a chonce
What the fuck is a chonce
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
the reblog map is all of us holding hands btw
We are each other's night sky. No one is alone here.
night sky continues to get brighter. theres always people here for you
