Sometimes I think about how the Mithril shirt Thorin gave to Bilbo was described as something a ‘young elven prince’ would wear
And I just can’t get this image out of my head of Frodo rocking up to Rivendell in that same shirt and Legolas just looking at him like blink blink “why is this small one wearing my bar mitzvah tunic as armor”

Good god Thranduil having an Atlantic City accent I’m
Fun Fact when we were reading the Hobbit in my LOTR class I took this semester at Uni, we read the Mirkwood chapters aloud and I read Thranduil’s lines in that Atlantic City NJ accent and my professor loved it
I am disgusted and in constant disbelief that people with that much hatred in their heart still exist. Actual nazis. I am not surprised, simply disappointed that it is so blatant and yet, people still don’t seem to care.

Also, for the ignorant people that still believe it was Antifa because “one of them had a communist tatoo”, I am begging you, just for once, use your fucking brain.
These people make me ashamed to be human. Be better, if this is our version of a advanced society, I can only apprehend what could come next. Please educate yourself and your loved ones, this is inadmissible.
Today, April 19th, is the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II. There is a fantastic museum in Warsaw dedicated to this uprising and it’s a Must See if you’re in Warsaw. I found out yesterday that there’s a memorial to this uprising in Riverside Park at 83rd Street. I’m going to go pay my respects before work. If you feel like watching The Zookeeper’s WifeorThe Pianist. There’s a movie about the Jewish Uprising but I can’t remember the name (comment if you remember it! It’s the street address of the secret meeting place!) Here are a few photos from the museum.
The original mermaid that stood in the Old Town before the Germans bombed them as punishment for the uprising.
They used the sewers to get around and deliver messages and weapons. This is what you’d see under a safe exit.
The symbol of the uprising.
The flags of the uprising.
And around the city you’ll see several monuments dedicated to those who fought:
The Littler Uprising Monument - dedicated to all the children who helped sneak past guards with messages and weapons.
