Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

Artist interpretation of legolas based off of book description. He has asked blonde hair and freckles, has a nervous or awkward expression, is sat twiddling thumbs as if in the council of elrond. Wearing a dagged snood with a leaf pattern, green tunic and silken wideleg pants tucking into gilt boots knee high, the boots have a gold leaf patten around the cuff

Book legolas is a little oddball and I love him ♡ #lordoftherings #legolas #tolkien #lotr

‘“Good Vibrations”, released a few months after 𝘗𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴, may still be the best pop song ever made, a song so intricate and multi-faceted it’s almost impossible to keep up with it while listening.’

Chris Larkin on Brian Wilson, from the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

Part of adulthood is learning to discern when your feelings & opinions simply don't matter. You can have them, but you can't use them as bludgeons to control what other people do. Your emotions are your responsibility & so is figuring out when they're out of proportion & how to manage that.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

nothing but coldness and cruelty in this world

“he wrote: “I thought it was quite normal to take a break from writing at two in the morning, saunter down to the piers, and have sex with 20 men in a truck”

no more posting about any of those “writing routines of famous writers” unless it’s Edmund White’s

bless...

doooooo it (also hiiiii hello how are you!!)

well why don’t you put elf ears on the byronic hero and think about the sight of him in pain and then maybe you’ll calm down

if you complain about contemporary novelists doing or not doing xyz you need to submit an annotated bibliography to me listing the contemporary novels you read in the last 12 months

If you did not write every day, the poisons would accumulate and you would begin to die, or act crazy, or both. You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you. @writeyourselfalive - Ray Bradbury

ok maybe second most noxious. luckily for me the winner has such an unstable sense of identity they have probably changed their entire deal 20 times since I last knew who they were so if I ever run across them again I will never know 🍵

hunter maddon and lady maria >:D

tragic: the most noxious person I've encountered in fandom is a good writer and gets recced all the gd time

maglor and maedhros

Bring me my rose gold iPhone 6S, Lt. Gore. I’ve got a kink to shame.

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

inglor to me is whichever elf in nargothrond i feel like that day. or whichever non-nargothrond noldo (maglor) told their kid to say his dad was tight with finrod because it would work out better for everyone that way

Also like, some of us live here and walk around non-liminal spaces every day, so I think you'll be fine in the airport.

I understand why people are scared but as a red state trans person I just have to laugh at people asking if it is safe for them to have a connecting flight in my state. I feel like after security everyone in the airport is actively dissociating at all times

if there were any more gil- named elves of ambiguous patrimony in addition to gil-galad and gildor one would begin to suspect that the gil- is there to let us know we’re going to have major lore ambiguity about where someone fits into the finwëan family tree. a sort of doylist fitz- for bastardy

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

I mean at this point your landlord should just get you a chihuahua.
