I just remembered why I avoid ch. 35. Right in the feels, every time. I’ve honestly never read a story, fanfic or otherwise, that could make me cry over the characters, but this one did it. A question, though. Could Bombur and Dain’s actions be considered suicide? Bombur had to know that, with his leg, it was only a matter of time, and with how old Dain is, he likely knew too. But they still both went out and fought so…?

*hugs* Ahh, sorry Nonnie. That chapter has made people howl at me a lot!!

Oooh. I think that people will do tremendously brave and powerfully foolhardy things in order to protect those they love – even at the cost of their own life. 

I think, given more time and deliberation (and less terrible circumstances), that they both would have elected to live. They didn’t go out there with death being the end-goal in mind. They went out to achieve other goals – Dain to open up a column to Dale and finally kill Dagalur, ending the blood-feud at last, and Bombur to save Bofur. Death was the unfortunate consequence. 

No, I don’t think they chose suicide. I think that they’d have wanted to survive their encounters. I think they held onto a tiny hope that they would – Dain, most certainly, knows that it is near-certain, but he still hopes that he might make it.

Bombur isn’t thinking about his stupid leg at all, nor his children or wife or grandchildren – he is FURIOUS and ready to kill every Orc he can see, just to try and get to his brother. An angry Bombur is a very dangerous one!

OK so apparently a bunch of people with throwaway email accounts have been going around and submitting a music video from some underground garage band to people (the band has already said they’re not the ones doing it). The music video is a bunch of cis guys in makeup and dresses and wigs and stuff, and apparently the video is being sent to trans girls in an effort to trigger dysphoria (and apparently somebody thought I’m a trans girl because I got it sent to me). If you get a music video for a song called Like a Lady by Crosa Rosa in your submission box, just delete it.

Stay safe everyone.

i got this shit lmfao weak ass punks with 0 oz of courage in their fleshy bodies

for reference, this is how it appears in video submissions

the video title doesn’t always show (depending on the browser you’re using), but from what i’ve seen they’ve also taken to submitting textposts with links to the video too, so stay safe everyone!
