the ripe and ruined

the lord of the rings is so honest. so raw. so sincere. so unabashedly from the heart. no snide fourth wall jokes, no attempts to alleviate the heaviness. it is is wholeheartedly earnest in its dedication to portraying hope and love and faith and loyalty and courage, and that is what makes it feel like home to so many of us. it's true to itself. it doesn't pretend to be cool and care less. it cares, a lot, and that is a rare, beautiful thing. it warms our hearts to care for a piece of fiction that was made to care about and be cared about

and we know we aren't going to be punished or ridiculed by the work itself for loving it! no characters killed off cruelly, no plotlines abandoned, no shrugging of shoulders and "well real life is like that. get used to it." we have always needed escapism, and we always will. and middle earth will always be there to escape to

i need to reread every book i have ever read and rewatch every movie and show i have ever seen and replay every video game i have ever played and relisten to every song i have ever heard and re-look at every artwork i have ever laid eyes upon and once i have finished doing this everything will finally make sense

ted lasso season 1 is just like what if we tried to make everyone feel a little bit more at home no matter where they are what if we showed others that they were seen and loved what if we had the courage to stand up for ourselves and others what if we did what was in our power to make someone else’s life a little easier what if we let someone go because we had their best interests in mind and not ours what if we baked little treats what if we called out our loved ones when they’re being silly and immature what if we realized we’re all we’ve got
