Bet He Didn't Saw That Coming

let durin & disa at sauron. they'd win, i know they would.

like I understand it’s all about the cycles of violence and why does the person you love matter more than the person I love etc etc

But Abby really does neglect to mention that her “unarmed doctor” father was about to kill an unconscious teenage girl in the hopes of finding a cure he had no way of knowing for sure would work, without even getting her consent first.

Like girl, Joel is right, shut the fuck up and do it already.

the celebrimbor/annatar moment immediately after mirdania sees sauron's true form was such a good scene while also being really uncomfortable and unsettling, as most of their scenes in this episode were given the nature of what was happening but this one...

it felt so explicit in what it was saying: that this is an abuser, using weaponised incompetence to lure their victim back into their grasp after they've escaped them and the look on celebrimbor's face said it all.

this moment makes both you, the viewer and celebrimbor question what was really going on in that moment. like, obviously it was deliberate but the thing with manipulators and abusers is that you can never really be sure. even if you are 100% certain, there's always that tiny moment of doubt that makes you question if you're actually right. that makes you question if you can fully trust your own perception of the truth or reality or if you're simply thinking the worst of them when you shouldn't be and that's what this moment kind of does and it does it in quite a scary accurate way.

because it leaves you questioning if sauron deliberately endangered the mirdain in that moment, if he really doesn't know the right or most appropriate way to make the rings or if he knew what could happen if they added more mithril or if he simply made a mistake etc. etc.

and as i said, celebrimbor's face really does say it all...

whether this was intentional or accidental, sauron's got exactly what he wanted. celebrimbor realised in this moment that he has to be involved, one way or another, he has to be involved and contribute in making the nine despite being completely against it because who knows what might happen if he isn't.

persassy: the final evolution

I love and hate the ending because it’s exactly what should happen. Aziraphale has a toxic relationship with heaven and people in those relationships for long time(think like … eternity) can’t just *leave* like that. There’s a mental hold that has you always wanting to please in anyway you can. If there’s a way to make them happy, even when you know the things they’ve done, it’s almost a need to do so. Especially if they make you think you can change something. I can guarantee the self sacrifice he was taught was repeating in his head when he told the Metatron there wasn’t anything and straightened up.

“Yes you’re in pain Aziraphale, but it’s for the good of everyone. Needs of the many over you”

Gods it sucks and is so perfect cause it’s exactly what I’d do.

The marauders and things my friends have said P.1

Sirius: Heard back from my therapist! I have ptsd!!!

*does a little dance*

Everyone: *cheers*

I don’t know! We’ll see what the next movie makes me realize about myself. It’s kind of- It’s, I don’t know. I’m so lucky I get to work out this trauma and stuff like that on the big screen. It’s bizarre! But I’m glad you connected with it all.

Do you ever think about how they took Newt's body with them on the Berg? They picked him up from where he died, carried him onto the Berg. Minho laid his jacket over Newt like a blanket. After they rescue Thomas from the roof and pull him on board, they place him right next to Newt.

Newt and Thomas lie side by side on the Berg, Newt's hand in Thomas' hand. In his shock he forgot that Newt is dead, can't process it. Thomas wonders how peaceful Newt looks while war and fires are raging around them. That's the last thing he can remember before unconsciousness hits him, wondering why Newt's hand is so cold in all the heat around them
