a tweet auto translated from Japanese. "I was just trying to take an overhead shot of the building at the ekiden finish line, so why did Colonel Sha end up photobombed in there lol what is this" [photo of Char riding a bicycle coming right into view]

Oh yes, about the walking--it's a little like when you read a manga and the battles are played out in the arena of the author's special interest. The sections with the ringwraiths are like, contests of wilderness navigation! And the care paid to geography helps you follow along blow by blow!

Nevertheless, it's going to be a bit until I read the Two Towers--I'm gonna wait until the podcast I'm reading along with catches up. Until then, you can tide yourself over with my recent Hobbit thread:

I was vaguely planning to split threads up by the 6 internal Books, rather than the unintended three-novel split, but 1 and 2 (so, Fellowship) are really of a like, rhythmically. Let's ramble through the forest -> oh no, we're being Pursued, foreboding -> AAA -> oooh elves or some other magic friend

LOTR is so much more interesting when viewed as an idiosyncratic work expressing the author's special interests, than an enshrined wellspring from which the fantasy genre emerges. It's very largely a book about the experience of walking through the countryside with other men!

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the it's my book they will walk if I tell them to YouTube video by Tom Cardy

Finished Fellowship! Multiple people have said it in the replies, but the thing is this really is both true and beautiful

I'm assuming he means "I understand" as in "I understand that you have some reason / that you're asking me to do it, and I'm the kind of person who likes to challenge myself and do stuff"

Quattro: I would like to start by apologizing to the members of this Assembly and all Federation citizens. We mean no disrespect to you by taking control of this session. Chotiner: OK Quattro: Deep down, we all believe that humanity should no longer pollute the Earth! Only the Titans, whose souls are weighed down by gravity, still think of ravaging it! Chotiner: But that's not the only reason you've come here today, is it? Quattro: What do you mean? Chotiner: I've heard you have another name.

there is no universe in which Char turns down an interview with Chotiner

Tambourine got him, didn't he?

They’re Helpful!

Production-wise the arc has a lot more staff in common with Z also afaik!

I feel a lot of younger artists nowadays are in the path of permanent wrist damage and burnout with the amount of stuff they feel almost obligated to make in order to feel like they are still relevant and present on peoples timelines.
I was like that with comms, and all I got was damage on my body.

Yeah!!!!!

I don't think you can deny that it's kind of a galactic defender linguini.

We were laughing about this exchange just now but genuinely couldn't remember the name so we've just been calling it Galactic Defender Linguini

I always saw it as just him growing up. Due to experiences like this he's more conscious of life and mortality as an adult

Book cover for Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover depicts Carmilla leaning her head against Laura's while she embraces her, Laura doesn't shy away from Carmillas touch but seems shy to reciprocate. They're framed by a red pointed arch, a devil and an angel and some baroque ornaments.

A crop.

Carmilla 🩸🖤

The latter two are, I'd say, more distinct in the books than the films. As Strider he doesn't so much as carry a (usable) sword--he fends the Ringwraiths off purely with fire; it was the right tool for the situation

I'm only agreeing with everyone else here, but it's difficult to escape the opinion that Gandalf the Grey is cooler than Gandalf the White, and Strider is cooler than Aragorn son of Arathorn
