- Reposted by CraneI think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.
- Reposted by CraneAntis are always like "Um actually, your ship is ONLY a narrative foil, their arcs are only entwined with their opposing goals, their connection, & narratively linked themes. They can never be together & they’re doomed by the narrative." as if it's not the hottest sort of pairing
- When people want to moralize age gaps between adults in fantasy, why do they think it relevant to state when the older age is like 1000+ years old? Something for which we have no real-life equivalent?? It’s too extreme and silly and does the opposite of whatever statement you’re trying to make.

He is a moss-gatherer, and I have been a stone doomed to rolling. But my rolling days are ending, and now we shall have much to say to one another.' [The Return of the King]

- Reposted by CraneThe Minnesota Indigenous community came together to protest against ICE. Many Native Americans people have also been abducted by those goons.
- Reposted by CraneI don’t function well when fandom gets treated like a rival sports team style community I don’t like having the adversarial “you ship X ship, which means you must HATE Y ship” I’m a multishipper but even when I’m not, I’m not shipping things VERSUS other ships
- Reposted by CraneOne thing TROP2 did at prestige TV level and stood out from other productions or even its own precedents was the thematic definition of “goodness” as not necessarily a set of visceral or purely consistent actions but *persistent* and *repetitive* attempts for each new day, moment
- Reposted by CraneI love Thondir. You get a lot of “I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth” in fiction but not nearly enough “…and now we’ve got here and it’s cold and half of us have frostbite and I’m covered in troll blood, so, listen…”

- Reposted by CraneAnd it came to pass that Tar-Palantir grew weary of grief and died. He had no son, but a daughter only, whom he named Míriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. [The Silmarillion]
- Reposted by Crane(I’m a bit puzzled that half the fandom seem to have decided he’s a Canonically Very Important Main Character in 2nd Age events now but you know what, good for you Glorfindel, roll with it, you deserve to at least make it into an adaptation after Bakshi and Jackson both cut you.)

- Reposted by Craneall right, #TROPSpoilers from the s3 wrap vid: 1) I think this is Elrond from the hair? 2) no idea though it would be cool if this was one of the Gaudrim 3) runes here say "-azad aimenu-" which must be from "Khazâd ai-mênu", "the dwarves are upon you", Gimli's war-cry in LOTR.
- Reposted by CraneThe only Hunt for Gollum movie I want is one about Legolas in Rivendell, where he's trying to find a good moment to tell everyone Gollum's escaped but keeps getting interrupted by the arrival of Boromir/Gimli and Gloin/yet more hobbits/Rangers/some message from Tom Bombadil nobody can decipher.

- Reposted by CraneCostume details: 1. Triforce pattern on Zelda's tunic. 2. Link's green tunic is frayed and very simply sown together. Even the threads used in the weaving of the fabric are not even shades of green. Also Link has a necklace? I see the hemp string. Costume design already telling a story. I like it!

- Reposted by CraneReminder that Tony Gilroy went on Ross Douthat's podcast, agreed with him as he derided other directors like Guillermo del Toro, and then chummily agreed to meet for drinks some time. Meanwhile, Ross ratchets up the gutter racism and misogyny, with cover from a pick-me girl:
- Reposted by CraneI love fanfiction. I love that prolific writers have secret accounts on AO3. I love that professional writers get their start writing yaoi.

- Reposted by CraneDay 1 : My absolute fav is Isildur, my moon boi 🥺 Really he deserves more love. The movies did him so dirty. Thanks you Maxim to interpret him so well 🐴
- Reposted by Crane- Rings of Power should do a Doriath prologue for S3 - and it should be narrated by Charles Edwards - playing Curufin rather than Celebrimbor.

- Reposted by CraneThere is something truly wonderful about the trope of “I am all powerful nothing can stop me” and that same idiot is completely overcome by love for someone who has zero power. It’s really so so good. I am a sucker for it in all its forms

- Reposted by Cranejenny h is startlingly racist (and queer erasing) for writing & releasing an article that is 100% targeted at SLY (a nonbinary poc) on the day their book releases, but is too cowardly to name & identify them in the text AND jh is using her stance as anti-terf/anti-jkr as a get out of jail free card
