Like sure we can have respectful discussions about the Children of Finwë, but please do not call Finarfin a coward for being one of the only elves in that whole messed-up family to both have a decent amount of remorse and actually listen to it

Elrond tells the long story of the One Ring, from its forging in the Mountain of Fire, to its betrayal of Isildur at the Gladden Fields. Frodo is startled to learn that Elrond himself marched with Gil-Galad in the Last Alliance against Sauron, more than three thousand years ago.
Mirror scene is mostly fine, with the big exception that is Galadriel being a twirly disney princess instead of being scary. I like how they didn’t try to show us everything in the mirror
So to start with, this is significantly more faithful to the book than the jackson movies, with some exceptions (shoutout to: the inexplicable rohirrim war retcon, replacing gunpowder w/sparkly comets, and the FARAMIR ERASURE (tho idk if erasure or character assassination is better tbh))
The "happy with any of these choices" line is tongue-in-cheek. But the point is that I constantly see people thinking that when both candidates are problematic, they can exempt themselves from any moral responsibility by abstaining from voting.
And that is, in a word, cope.
I might be receptive to an argument that a coordinated protest vote (or non-vote) movement has power because it can move the needle in future cycles, although I don't think that applies right now.
But I am not receptive any argument about "complicity." Not voting is complicitity in ALL outcomes.
As the US and Israeli elections approach, I just want to remind everyone again that a vote for no party is, effectively and morally, a vote for every party.
The message it sends is the exact opposite of protest. It says, "I would be happy with any of these choices!"

only using absence of blade hits to the torso against someone a foot taller is crazy, but also an annoyingly effective way to work on distance, timing, and disengages
