@mithrilshirt@hobbitclothes I always read it as his “heart being lightened” because he thought Sam had been killed and learned that he was alive and with Frodo.
Obviously 2020 was..... not great. But one good thing for me personally has been finding aro and ace community this year! Going into 2021 feeling less broken and alone than I did this time last year. Happy New Year to all my aspec fam! 💜💚💜💚
@LotrMadness Dear Santa,
I know I’ve never believed in you before, but I’ve been good all year (always wore my mask!) and if a 4K tv and these Blu-rays showed up under the tree, I will never doubt you again!
@space_ace_ren I have four nieces and nephews, but sadly they all live in other states :( I do have some close friends with little ones that might let me introduce them to LotR when they get a bit older!
I *do not* want kids, but I *do* want to read lotr to a small child and watch them fall in love with the story for the first time, so that’s a real pickle
This is obviously a terrible take for a thousand reasons, but it’s the “sex is an important part of who we are” that really irks me.... Another example of “can’t be fully human without sex” message that really eats at me as an asexual person.
Can we please normalise platonic intimacy?
Like, I want to hold your hand and cuddle with you but I'm not Attracted to you in that way I just think you're a nice person and I want to be soft with you please
