Oh be still my heart. At some point one of Legolas’s ridiculous stunts had to have caught up with him, right?? And he totally didn’t enjoy all of Gimli’s doting while he was laid up. Totally. (Thanks for the prompt! I’ll try and get to the other one at some point!)
*SQUEALS LOUDLY WITH SHEER DELIGHT*
oh my GUH this is ADORABLE AND AMAZING – bandages and gimli’s hair and legolas’ expression: ‘awww, worried Dwarf is worried, AWWWW’ and all the little details – and the background!! WOW
HELL no, you’re not alone! I love them, I have a whole ton of her books. I can blitz through one of them in no time at all, but I always feel like I’ve been chatting with a remarkable, wonderful, magical friend, each and every time.

Do you like the Ghibli version of Howl’s moving castle than?Just curious.
Hey! I enjoyed the movie, sure! But it’s more of a ‘remix’ of the book than a retelling, so yeah… not sure which I like MORE, there’s great stuff in both that isn’t in the other. I think of them as very different beasts, really.
If pressed, I’d probably have to say the book. Old Sophie in the book is SUCH A BOSS. And the whole thing with her mum remarrying and her sisters swapping places, plus all the Wales stuff – I missed that in the movie!
Movie!Howl’s green slime temper tantrum was book-accurate, though 😀
omg YES – that book gave me the absolute screaming ragefits, actually. Especially Aunt Maria never calling them by their chosen names. RAGE. An amazing book, and I like the journal style too.
(READ MAGICIANS OF CAPRONA. READ THE WHOLE CHRESTOMANCI SERIES, DAMMIT. THEY’RE SO GOOOOOOD.)

I know it’s 2017 and this is all far beyond said and done but
Cats is a really bizarre fucking musical
You’re not wrong.
OKAY WHAT GETS ME more than the plot or anything else is that there are absolutely no solid rules for the way cats exist in relation to humans in this story world.
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteaser are able to go into a family’s home and essentially torment them by means of petty thievery, and the family just brushes it off with “it’s that horrible cat!” And then they move on!! So you think, alright, so in life the cats look like regular cats, and humans don’t give them much head.
But you would be WRONG because MACAVITY is out here breaking “every human law,” and his exploits are being investigated by SCOTLAND YARD. Macavity has apparently literally killed a man. Maybe more. Almost definitely more. And also, he steals the milk from people’s houses.
And when the police show up to a crime scene “Macavity’s not there.”
Why does he need to flee? Would the police actually suspect a cat when they show up to a murder scene? Is Macavity the true scourge of Scotland Yard? Or are all of the cats just exaggerating??
I NEED ANSWERS, ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER!!!!
All the other cats are regular cats but macavity is actually just a furry
I HATE THIS!!!!!!
*ugly snorting laughter* Oh my God this changes everything
Aw Yiss
