BADASS FINLAND

“in the heat of battle, the short man from eastern finland climbed on top of a massive soviet tank. before setting it on fire with a molotov cocktail, he knocked on the crew hatch door and shouted, ‘open up, ivan – death is knocking!’”

the world belongs to you ♔ an eastern promises mafia au series ♔

first of all, wear a fucking mask, don’t be an asshole! yeah it’s uncomfortable, this is the reason it works  wash your hands, avoid gatherings also media manipulating citizens is a shitty thing to do & they should treat us like adults & give us the information we deserve - on this part i perfectly agree with you

but this situation is far more complicated than ‘bussinesses want your money’ unfortunately, we have to come ‘back to normal’ (in an economical way)  freezing economy is a very short-time solution bc our society is based on this; without bussinesses earning money people wouldn’t be able to get paid & support their families (that’s why so many people got fired during pandemic), without people earning money goverment would’t be able to support them financially (or do literally anything) bc of the lack of taxes. support system would be based on people (billionaires) who really don’t have to help anyone if they don’t want to, no one can force them 

(ofc there’s also a problem with poorer countries, what they’re gonna do

little bussinesses would have to get closed, food production also would freeze which always results in lack of food, i won’t even start on what the fuck would happen to the healthcare system etc. it’s a simple thing but many people don’t  even think about this bc it’s a more complicated issue this is also why covid-19 is such a tragedy: without freezing economy people will die from the virus & with it - people will die from hunger... 

i am ofc aware of the fact that you perfectly realize that... but many people don’t. and showing only one side of the situation can be pretty harmful 

OFC YOU STILL SHOULD WEAR A MASK/WASH YOUR HANDS/PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING, JESUS CHRIST IT’S BARE MINIMUM things are not back to normal, remember that

ofc i don’t want to defend those who use the pandemic in their favour without any regard on human lives but we (as a society) are based on capitalism & it has downsides and upsides as everything else

 sorry for any mistakes, english is not my mother tongue

why is everyone pretending like things are back to normal now? governments wanna open up schools and universities again, the news is no longer reporting the covid-19 pandemic the way it was a month ago, people have started having get-togethers and birthday parties again and meanwhile scientists think that covid-19 is airborne now?! like... we're still in the middle of a fucking pandemic and it's worse than we thought. people are dying because they think things are "back to normal" again. no they're fucking not!! the government and the businesses just want your fucking money!! this is just capitalism at play because as usual, they don't give a fuck if you die as long as you just give them your money. so please wear a mask, please wash your hands and please socially distance!! and remember things are not back to normal!!!

the tale of Aragorn and Arwen is a horror story, or a cautionary tale at least.

Every time I reread the Tale of Arwen and Aragorn I think…whether Tolkien intended it or not, this is a horror story about people casting Arwen into the role of Lúthien, a tragedy about someone being compared to a heroic ancestress because of her looks so many times that she might start to believe it– but in the end finds out that she is nothing like her. And she finds out too late.

The first meeting of Aragorn and Arwen is not about Arwen at all, but her ability to look like a figure out of song, which allows Aragorn to cast himself as a heroic Beren figure (and people love those who allow them to imagine being something more than they are);

For a moment Aragorn gazed in silence, but fearing that she would pass away and never be seen again, he called to her crying, Tinúviel, Tinúviel! even as Beren had done in the Elder Days long ago. Then the maiden tured to him and smiled, and she said: ‘Who are you? And why do you call me by that name?” And he answered: “Because I believe you to be indeed Lúthien Tinúviel of whom I was singing. But if you are not she, then you walk in her likeness.” “So many have said,” she answered gravely. “Yet her name is not mine.” 

And Arwen has grown up with the story of Beren and Lúthien. As long as she can remember people have seen Lúthien in her. 

Aragorn falls in love at first sight; but not in love with Arwen, not really, because he doesn’t know her. He falls in love with the image of Lúthien while singing of her; he falls in love with the idea of himself as heroic as Beren, too. Nothing is mentioned of Arwen having feelings for him at this point. It is not at all love at first sight as it was for B&L. In fact, Elrond says she likely thinks he is below her, not just in age or experience but in lineage. I don’t think he would lie, despite his lack of enthusiasm;

But as for Arwen the Fair, Lady of Imladris and of Lórien, Evenstar of her people, she is of lineage greater than yours, and she has lived in the world already so long that to her you are but as a yearling shoot beside a young birch of many summers. She is too far above you. And so, I think, it may well seem to her. But even if it were not so, and her heart turned towards you, I should still be grieved because of the doom that is laid on us.”

Luthien did most certainly did not care about Beren’s ‘great lineage’– which was not really much of one yet at the time, at least not one to impress the half-Ainu daughter of Thingol, who claimed to be King of all Beleriand. If there is any reason for their love at all (other than high doom)– it is maybe Beren’s personality. He kills no animal. He tries to be good in a very harsh world. He was about 32 years old, and unlikely to ever be King of anything.

Fairy Tail Chapter 534 Reaction

Now that Jellal has thrown himself into the void, the big four all has death scares! Yay. 

Gray is mad because he’s the only dude in the “I saw my lover dying” club. 

so let me get this straight

after melkor comes along and ruins everybody’s fun on an even MORE cosmic level than usual by destroying the two trees of valinor in a plague of darkness, pretty much just out of pure spite, the valar go to fëanor like, “dude, hey, could we borrow your silmarils? of course we know they’re yours, but there’s just enough mojo in them to start rebuilding our trees which were, y’know, destroyed in a plague of darkness and all.”

and fëanor thinks about this for a minute or two. maybe he scratches his chin; maybe he clicks his tongue a few times, in a thoughtful sort of way. and then finally he’s like “well here’s the thing, and it’s kind of funny, we’ll probably laugh about it later, ha ha, but jokes aside they’re mine and i’m keeping them”

and then, just to be even more of a dick, he adds, “oh, and don’t even think about trying to force me to give them to you, because then you’ll be just as bad as melkor, check and mate etc etc.“ and then he probably shows them his middle finger or something, i don’t know, i’m not well-versed in noldor hand gestures.

and so the poor valar literally just have to turn round and go back to their horrible ruined tree city that’s all, like, razed to the ground and covered in a cloak of eternal night, all because fëanor is a whiny little pissbaby who doesn’t feel like giving up his Special Shinies.

i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again: ELVES ARE ASSHOLES
