i’m not really very into tiktok edits but ive been saving way more recently so I just sorted them into a folder (theres only 18 lol) and most of them are stranger things or spiderman. Tell me why, many months ago, I saved an edit of Samwise to Miyazaki (Paris Paloma)??
don’t get me wrong, I stand by this edit. But back then, I hadnt even SEEN Lord of The Rings. (Well ok that not ENTIRELY TRUE; I had seem half of the third film. Not the first half. Not the last half. A random middle half. And I didnt watch all of it because of my arachnophobia. And I don’t mean to go entirely off topic, but yes I do mean arachnoPHOBIA not a fear of spiders (do you have to be diagnosed with phobias?) because its a whole thing.) In fact, I only just finished watching Lord of the Rings YESTERDAY, so what a craAaaaAaAAAAzy coincidence that I find this forgotten edit TODAY of all days.
All this to say, I firmly stand by my saving of this edit. Is it the best edit I’ve ever seen? No. There’s this incredible edit of Nancy from stranger things and I see sooooo many INSANELY MAGNIFICENT across the spiderverse edits. But I did enjoy watching the edit. Lord of the rings on the other hand…
ok. I DONT REGRET WATCHING LORD OF THE RINGS. Just putting that allll the way out there so no little lotr geeks (said with affection because geeks are good) come around twisting my words. But oh, my lord of the rings, they know how to drag it out, and thats for sure and certain. I had to watch each film in like 4 separate parts because I kept getting so unbelievably bored, and distracted, and I didn’t want to be siphoning my attention halfway onto the films. I know I’m talking too much (fuck you I can talk as much as I want on my own blog) so I might post another one about some of my thoughts while watching.
But the tldr of this possible future post is - I’m glad I watched it, and that’s that box ticked off, but I don’t have plans to watch it again.
