These movies CHANGED ME

This is one of my favourite parts of the whole trilogy. It’s haunting.

Knowing Billy Boyd gave his own melody to it and everyone had chills after hearing him sing it. This is how you get actors involved with the story and character, this is how amazingly well these films were cast. Fans have been singing that haunting tune in echoing halls and caves and towers for 20 years now and it never loses its beauty.

And even better: Billy Boyd composed the tune to the song and then performed it for Peter Jackson and everyone else while filming. They only did one take! That very first take is the one that’s used in the film! He’s just that good!!

I sing it as a lullaby to my children but I use the original “away shall fade” to make it less sad because they’re just babies. uwu

Not even my fandom and I have chills.

Fascinating how what's considered feminine and what's considered masculine can change over time. The rebranding of being a horse girl into being a stereotypical feminine girly trait needs to be studied.

Look at classic children's novels. As recently as the 50s and early 60s, being obsessed with horses as a girl was depicted as strange and tomboyish, and the very concept of being obsessed with horses from early childhood and loving toy horses and desperately wanting your own horse being a "little girl thing" and not a "little boy thing" would send someone from the 1800s and earlier into a coma.

There's maybe a point to be made here somewhere about how when keeping and riding horses stopped being necessary to the functioning of society and became a more "frivolous" thing, it was rapidly rebranded as silly and girly and for women, but what do I know.

Imagine if people watched Interview with the Vampire and it inspired them to think about how the past is in a very real way inaccessible to us and memory can be misleading even when you're not being dishonest and different people can have different experiences of the same event that feel emotionally true and are very real to the people who experienced them even if they contradict each other and often you will never be able to know what really happened and how this can make repairing damaged relationships difficult and threatening to a person's sense of self

While an angry at Rogue Deathbit would have been *chefs kiss* wonderful angst to watch, Remy "Mr. Rogue" LeBeau coming back from the dead and immediately killing Apocalypse just so he doesn't get in the way of his wedding planning is infinitely funnier and exactly the type of thing that idiot would do.

You can tell how disconnected someone is from other people if they by default assume someone does not have an experience unless they volunteer the information to all at all times

I notice this a lot with sexual abuse in particular like do you know how common it is to experience that you have to either be genuinely dumb or trying to intimidate people into silence to expect people to divulge that information to you before talking

sorry im absolutely too floored by the fact you just called me 'lizardsex' to give you an answer

This exact phenomenon is why there’s now a hyphen in my url.

Maybe im not a very romantic person but i never liked stories where people uproot their entire lives for love. What happens if you break up. Youre gonna break up eventually whats gonna happen then
