Me, who has to qurenten for 10 days because of teammates refusing to wear masks: What an amazing excuse to read fanfiction and avoid relatives.
So if you have a fanfic recommendation, preferably long, and gay. pls send them to me, I need more fics.
yall know what we need to go newsies on the government's ass. Doesn't matter which one, just do it.
In a lot of lotr Modern AUs, a lot of people make Aragorn the Mom friend and I find it outrageous! Like, Aragorn is totally the friend who: lives on coffee, never sleeps, smokes weed, dosn’t pay his taxes (if he has them), hasn't washed his hair is 3 years, skips class (If high school or collage AU) and probably has killed someone. Like, yeah, he cares about his friends, but his solution to most likely anything is murder and/or coffee. The real mom friend of the Fellowship is Boromir, he probably cares snacks every where and is, like, the only member of the fellowship who doesn't smoke pipe weed.
Your right, time is precious. Nothing you do can get you more time, death is inevitable. All the more reason to live while you can.
Like Gandalf said, “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
As I write my Aralas fic I keep trying to come up with ways for Aragorn to become immortal. Even though my fic is set 60+ years before FOTR, and Aragorn won't die in cannon for another 190 years, I am forced to deal with his mortality compared to the elves. 210 years is a VERY long time, but when it is compared to an elf who has already lived over a millennium, it's basically moments.
I've tried to come up with loopholes, like Eru made Tuor immortal, couldn't he do that for Aragorn? Couldn't Legolas sneak him into the undying lands like he did with Gimli in cannon? Aragorn is technically part of Elros's bloodline, so theoretically shouldn't he be able to choose between mortality and immortality like Arwen?
But in the end I keep coming back to the same place. Yes, there are plenty of ways I can make him immortal, but maybe I don't have to. Maybe in the end Aragorn dies and he and Legolas don't get to be together in the undying lands, and maybe that's okay.
When characters constantly cheat death it cheapens it, it takes away its meaning. Aragorn, and the rest of the men for that matter, were given the gift of mortality, a precious, precious gift in the eyes of Eru. Why should he give that up?
Nothing can last forever, not in life and not in fiction. Shouldn't it be enough just to enjoy it while we have it?
“No we cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.”
“There was never much hope… Only a fool's hope.”
Out of all of the great lines in lord of the rings, both the book and movies, this two have stuck with me the most. Why? Because the entire series is based on hope, never much, but enough. All the characters don’t have hope that they will win, they know it’s next to impossible, but they aren't going down without a fight, and nether should you. It shows that you don’t have to have total faith in yourself, you can be certain you are going to fail, but you still have to try, you have to hold on to what ever hope you have, even if it’s only a fool’s hope.
"I love you"
Boring, feels empty, nothing special
"Let's watch Lotr trilogy together"
Sounds like you have a taste, original and sweet
I am also on a swim team, so I’m adding.
- we were told to do one 500. We had to do 3 cuz someone was breathing to much. Then we all breathed in protest.
- A senior walked up to a freshman and picked him up and spun him around.
- “just keep your laps straight.” “I COULDN’T EVEN KEEP MYSELF STRAIGHT!”
- One of the people on my swim team fucking prayed while they were on the block, like the dude fucking crossed his chest and then kissed his hand. My friend saw a different guy do this, he wasn’t even religious!
- One of the guys wolf-whistled at another guy. I am now writing gay fanfic of them.
- we found a knife on the swim bus and didn’t think to give it to the coach for a full ass 10 minutes, so we sat their all staring at the knife wondering what to do.
- one guy started whistling really loudly just at the start of an event.
- a girl jumped into the pool fully clothed.
- took a nap on a table
- Medicine Ball Catch. Enough said
- We have a cheer about toothpaste
- we all shave together
- we have gossip sessions in the shower
- the boys relay always yell “meat sauce” before they swim
- treat inhalers like drugs.
- a girl who threw her goggles at the coach.
There is so much more shit I have seen that I can’t even write it all. My swim team is very special

"Daaaaamn, i dropped less time than emily, and shes fucking slow"
"Do you think I coukd swim fully clothed without getting in trouble?" "Abby I swear to god if you do that-" *abby proceeds to jump into the pool fully clothed* *her boyfriend screams and jumps in after her trying to save his phone that was in her pocket*

*this one person whispering* "the snack that smiles back" *whole team yelling* "GOLDFISH"
"What kind of water are hamsters supposed to swim in?" "Um, no water? They aren't supposed to be in water" "shit..." "ROW WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"They guys locker room is so much nicer than the girl's" "why the fuck were you in the boys locker room Abby?" "WHY THE FUCK WAS NELSON GIVING US A TOUR OF IT, NOAH? I DONT KNOW MAYBE BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WAS HERE AND WE WANTED TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK!"
"Is that a potato chip?!" *dives into the water to get a potato chip from the bottom of the pool* *eats the really soggy potato chip* "well this dont taste good..."
*person who was sick walking past the lockers into the main part of the locker room* "WAZZUP MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! DID YA MISS ME?!" "WHY DIDNT YOU DIE WHILE YOU WE'RE SICK ABBY?!" "FUCK YOU ASHLYN
Oh My Goodness. He is the best little Tony Stark I’ve ever seen. How dare the bullies hurt him like this.
this made me so angry. he looked AMAZING as Tony Stark and I hope he knows that those kids are just jealous
(sincerely wish Robert Downey Jr saw this and maybe made him feel better by saying hi to him in a video? he deserves that🥺)
(She/they) this is now a fandom blog I guess. enjoy my stupid content!
