LOTR Reaction Memes

Oh god insufferable yank day is in 48 hours

the lack of compassion that a good portion of lotr fans show for frodo ("why can't he fight or do simple tasks" "why is he so weak" "why does he always need help / to be rescued") mirrors the lack of compassion of people for those who bear the burden of invisible disabilities. he's struggling against an immense weight at every step! something that actively tries to destroy him, worsening at every moment! his heroism is in just continuing to walk his path, step by step. his bravery is in just existing as himself under the debilitating weight of the ring. but because the influence of the ring is invisible, it is forgotten, and frodo is written off as a weak, cowardly, and/or useless character, much like disabled people irl. in this household we do not stand for frodo slander!!!

actually i am still thinking about this. in the movies especially the frodo & sam scenes are hard to watch, especially when contrasted to the quippy, active, external heroism of the three hunters. the road to mordor feels like a heavy, depressing slog; even the colours reflect this. frodo's feebleness setting in the longer we spend with the ring hurts to watch; it makes us cringe away from it. we don't want to look because frodo's sort of internal heroism is not glamorous. we don't like to fantasize ourselves as the protagonists of it. and it can hit quite close to home. but that's precisely why they are such good scenes! and why we must not look away, or shrink from the discomfort, or misunderstand frodo as a character. that would be a disservice to the narrative.

Yes. YES. YES!!!!!!!!! I will scream this from the housetops. Frodo is not glamorous! He is not meant to be glamorous!!

Every day I take the Ring (Invisible Disabilities, Chronic Pain, Mental Illness) to Mordor (School, Work, Daily Life)

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.

65/402 16% Danny Trejo 60/282 21% Christopher Lee 51/259 20% Lance Henriksen 41/211 19% Vincent Price 41/205 20% Dennis Hopper 41/204 20% Boris Karloff 39/209 19% John Hurt 33/117 28% Sean Bean

I’m so proud of the statistical side of tumblr for coming through on this.

Super Dad

Conclusion: human evolution has always depended in part upon some unassuming father’s ability to literally backflip his child out of the jaws of death.

this video is wild

Dad brain, in .0003 seconds flat: P R O T E C C

This video gives me so much anxiety!

Go dads!

Scheduling this for Father’s Day

Happy father’s day!! 🎉

I love that it’s possible not all of these men are the kiddo’s actual dad. Dad Brain is equal opportunity

oh absolutely. We have one mode: PROTECC. Doesn’t really matter who.

This is that PG-13 version I keep hearing about

POV: you’ve just been kidnapped but your friends are busy throwing down a fire track.

Happy anniversary to this legendary meme 🔥🔥🔥🔥

elrond sipping his tea: how nice of you to join me for breakfast, thranduil. it’s certainly been a while hasn’t it. you remember bilbo, the hobbit from like seventy years ago? he has a kid now. i know you would just love frodo

thranduil:

thranduil: elrond, where’s my son

🎶 Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? 🎶

🎶 Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew 🎶

this has been said before but MAN we were robbed of Gimli in the movies. i just reread chapter 6: Lothlórien and it was the sweetest, most gentle thing. give me the dwarf who found out that his uncle figures died grisly, horrible deaths and then looked at Frodo, who just lost HIS uncle figure, and asked him to look in the Mirrormere with him. Just… finding comfort in each other as they leave Moria behind

it feels like i was trying to give op a gentle fist bump and accidentally punched them through several buildings instead

Yeah, I can see that.

It was springlike for a few days here then it snowed. Then it was springlike again yesterday and now it’s snowing again. I figure this meme is relevant for reposting.

It went up to near 80° yesterday. It’s snowing right now.

I feel like I’ve seen images from the Pokemon anime of characters holding multiple smaller pokeballs between their fingers, but I can’t find images of it from a quick google search

am I trippin or am I just confusing it with Bakugan?

If it is only Bakugan, why he hold them like that?

(I didn’t watch either growing up)

this is for college essay purposes

Thank you to everyone who answered and helped me out with this

Also

Thank you! I was trying to describe the manner in which I carried multiple baby turtles in my hands, for those wondering

Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like "Evil volcano inspection unit" and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

@ebugsdotjpeg do you take suggestions?

this is what the hobbits thought Tom Bombadil could do

I think they're the same kind of being
