Farewell to Lórien.
This is my favorite fucking scene.
If you’ve read the Silmarillion, you know who Fëanor was. If you don’t, Fëanor was the dickhead who created the Silmarils: three indescribably beautiful and magical jewels that contained the light and essence of the world before it became flawed. They were the catalyst for basically every important thing that happened in the First Age of Middle Earth.
It is thought that the inspiration for the Silmarils came to Fëanor from the sight of Galadriel’s shining, silver-gold hair.
He begged her three times for single strand of her beautiful hair. And every time, Galadriel refused him. Even when she was young, Galadriel’s ability to see into other’s hearts was very strong, and she knew that Fëanor was filled with nothing but fire and greed.
Fast forward to the end of the Third Age.
Gimli, visiting Lorien, is also struck by Galadriel’s beauty. During the scene where she’s passing out her parting gifts to the Fellowship, Galadriel stops empty-handed in front of Gimli, because she doesn’t know what to offer a Dwarf. Gimli tells her: no gold, no treasure… just a single strand of hair to remember her beauty by.
She gives him three. Three.
And this is why Gimli gets to be an Elf Friend, people. Because Galadriel looks at him and thinks he deserves what she refused the greatest Elf who ever lived—- and then twice that. And because he has no idea of the significance of what she’s just given him, but he’s going to treasure it the rest of his life anyway.
Just look at that smile on Legolas’s face in the last panel. He gets it. He knows the backstory. And I’m pretty sure this is the moment he reconsiders whether Elves and Dwarves can’t be friends after all.
Everyone look at this great fucking post
There are posts and then there are posts
I’ve seen this a few times and I need to know what the fuck it’s from.
Oh my god, this is brilliant, Haha. I must know this too!

According to Mario’s Japanese trophy description in Melee, Mario is 26 years old.
Which seems young enough
But Bowser was also a baby in Yoshi’s Island.
Which means Bowser is also around 26 years old
Bowser isn’t a hot dad he’s a hot young man in his prime
mario is a 26-year old man from brooklyn with a handlebar mustache this changes everything
Confirmed Mario drinks Craft Beers EXCLUSIVELY
things girls do that i love:
- become active primarily at night
- have soft, thin, waxy black wings
- use echolocation to find prey
- eat over a thousand bugs in one hour
- live in large groups in dark damp caves
- go into torpor (regulated hypothermia that can last several months) in order to survive harsh long winters
- some of them drink blood which fucking rules
If a girl gets lost or stuck in your house, leave the windows open and the girl will usually vacate on her own. If necessary you can slip a coffee can over her or catch her in a blanket. Don’t touch a girl without thick protective gloves. Although girls do not have a higher percentage of carrying rabies than other animals, and in fact get a bad rap because of it, they are more likely to be handled by people when downed or injured. Subsequently, more people are bitten by rabid girls than other animals. Be safe!
Please also be aware that depending on where you live the chances of you encountering a blood drinking girl is very low. Many types of girls prefer to eat bugs, fruit, or pollen instead. So don’t be afraid, just give girls their space and they’ll fly off on their own business. Most girls aren’t interested in humans.
Wanted to try my hand at those pokemon variations things I see going around! I’ve had gems on the brain, so why not use Sableye, right?
You know who I like? Silver. The rival character from Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes.
He’s the disowned son of Giovanni, the boss of Team Rocket. He’s a huge douchebag. Like, even worse than Green from the first game. And that’s saying something. Case in point, he got his first pokémon by stealing it from Professor Elm. He also steals a Sneasel from a trainer in Cianwood City and while you’re trying to take down Team Rocket in Mahogany Town and Goldenrod City, he selfishly interferes to prove he’s better than you. He constantly calls you weak, he’s cruel to his pokémon, and only cares about getting stronger.
That is… until he meets Johto’s champion, Lance, and gets completely destroyed by him. His resolve broken, he tries to find a reason for his failure. Lance says he needs to lighten up and treat his pokémon with care in order for them to become strong, but Silver shrugs it off. After a couple more losses, Silver is forced to accept that his methods are flawed, finally gives in, and starts training with Lance in the Dragon’s Den in Blackthorn City.
The next time you visit Professor Elm’s lab, Elm tells of how Silver came to give the stolen pokémon back. Elm noticed how the pokémon had taken a liking to Silver, even after having endured his previously harsh treatment. Silver had apparently started treating it well, and Elm told him to keep it. Talk to Elm’s assistant, and he tells of how Silver had tears of joy on his face as he walked out with his pokémon.
You can battle him again at the pokémon league on Mondays and Wednesdays, which is when you’ll notice that his Golbat has finally evolved into a Crobat.
Golbat only evolves when its bond with its trainer is as strong as possible.
This is some of the biggest character development I’ve ever seen in any game, let alone a children’s game like pokémon. Best rival, 10/10.
Sometimes, like once a month, I still see this post get a note. And I think to myself yes. Good. Let him not be forgotten.
Silver was a good rival
