if you needed proof that i’m really not cut out for the casual environment of teaching from my living room, just know that today i almost ruined a 20 minute long video i was recording about romano-british culture because i almost said “this dude fucks” while talking about the bitchin outfits worn by british chieftains
in my defense look at this dude! the level of ‘this dude fucks’ here is off the charts
This is like when I was trying to teach the differences between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism when teaching the English Civil Wars and found myself using the words “bougie” and “extra” to describe Catholicism.
Cue sage nodding and light bulb moments from the assembled 16 year olds.
Isn’t it crazy how women are supposed to be in their 20s their whole life.

i’ve rewatched pic 1x05 many times now and you can’t tell me it isn’t literally this:

I think my favorite thing about being engaged is when I ask my fiancé “Who’s my future husband” kind of in the same way you’d ask a dog who’s a good boy and he gets really excited and goes “ITS ME, I AM FUTURE HUSBAND”
News update we’ve been married for almost 6 months now (6 months in three days) and he still gets excited when I come home and say “Where is husband?” He’ll pop up from wherever he is or whatever he’s doing and say “HELLO ITS ME I AM HERE”

the world was severely lacking weird little girl memes so i had to fill the void
this is…extremely relatable.
Zelda, are you coming down with a cold? How dare you? I’ve never been sick a day in my life.
Maybe the TV show will be great, even if it’s not so like the books, but I couldn’t resist borrowing the stills they’ve released so far and… Discworlding them up a bit. I just wanted to see armour, dwarfs with beards, a bit of dragon love, and a majestically fat Sybil in wellies and sensible (singed) apron. Pastels on paper, A4 (21x29 cms)

favorite bits of the cast interviews in the LOTR special features:
- Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen all taking the piss out of Orlando Bloom for going on about a cracked rib too much, while Orlando Bloom desperately tries to wriggle out of talking about it (special mention to Elijah Wood’s “oh it hurts, babes, and I can’t ride the horse, babes” and Viggo Mortensen’s “they can be very fragile, elves, especially the…Mirkwood strain…”)
- Ian McKellen commenting that “they never did find any suitable underwear for Gandalf…”
- Dominic Monaghan going on and on about how Viggo Mortensen apparently had a crush on one of the Rohirrim extras (who like a lot of the Rohirrim extras was a woman in a fake beard) while Vigoo Mortensen just mutters “one could perhaps say something about Mr. Monaghan’s…proclivities…”
- Dominic Monaghan’s imitation of John Rhys-Davies ordering food at a restaurant for the whole cast. “You have partridge? BRING THE PARTRIDGE!”
- John Rhys-Davies talking about an incident with the Lothlorian boats and saying “if an elf and a dwarf are in a boat…and…the boat goes under…let us say that the blame was not placed on the elf” while Orlando Bloom splutters “he’s a big guy, man!”
- Elijah Wood talking about how the hobbit actors shared a trailer with Ian McKellen and sometimes they would hear inarticulate bellows of protest from his side when they played loud music in the mornings
- Viggo Mortensen talking about how, while filming with those same boats, Kirin Shaw (Elijah Wood’s scale double) started telling him “if the boat tips over…save yourself…I can’t swim.”
- Elijah Wood describing how Sean Astin would try to direct the helicopters to land while they were on location, while the other three hobbits were screwing around and throwing pinecones at each other
- Christopher Lee recounting how he had so much trouble going up some steps in Orthanc with his long robe that he stopped in the middle of the scene and said, “I cannot get up these goddamn steps, Peter.”
- Viggo Mortensen mentioning that he left a weekend rehearsal and went walking down the street still swinging his sword around, and promptly got the cops called on him
