Another Lord of the Rings Hot Take: the reason Frodo starts starving  himself isn’t *just* because of the horrific emotional toll of the  journey. It’s also because the only food Frodo and Sam have is Lembas  bread, which the Ring takes away your ability to eat.

When Frodo  tries to share the Lembas bread with Gollum, Gollum is physically unable  to eat it. He wants to eat it, but Can’t. Because it’s elvish bread, it  burns Gollum’s throat and “chokes” him.

I mentioned in a previous post that Frodo isn’t just afraid of becoming like Gollum– he’s afraid of becoming like Gollum because he knows that Sam despises Gollum, and he’s paranoid that he’s becoming someone who Sam can no longer love.  

When Gollum says that he can’t eat Lembas bread, Sam coldly responds that he’ll have to “starve then, and good riddance.”

And  then Sam repeatedly worries that Frodo isn’t eating enough, that he  worries Frodo is starving himself. (”You haven’t eating anything all  day, and you’re not sleeping neither– don’t think I haven’t noticed!”  “I’ve seen you– you’re not eating, you barely sleep.”)

I feel  like the reason Frodo is eating less isn’t the horrible emotional  strain of the journey– it’s also because he’s physically losing the  ability to eat. As the Ring takes over his mind eating elvish food is  starting to become painful for him, the way it’s painful for Gollum.  Frodo saying ”I can’t recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass” on Mount Doom is a direct callback to Gollum saying that “we forgot the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind” in the beginning of the film.

One  thing I think is really compelling about the Ring is that….there is  no clear line between “the emotional toll the journey takes on the  characters” and “the actual physical damage the Ring does to their  minds.” There’s no clear separation between the times when Frodo is not  eating because he’s traumatized and afraid, and the times when Frodo is  not eating because the Ring is warping his mind and making it harder for  him to eat. It’s like the Ring is parasitic, feeding off the guilt and  trauma it creates in people.

Frodo tries to hide how little  he’s eating because he doesn’t want Sam to worry about his emotional  state…… but also because he doesn’t want Sam to realize that he’s  gradually becoming corrupted like Gollum, that he’s gradually becoming  the kind of person he’s afraid that Sam can no longer empathize with.

Some men are born to plough fields, some live to be great physicians, others to be great kings…

Watching Jurassic Park and I have Opinions on this place as a zoo. Feeding the predators live prey?? There's other ways to provide enrichment! Also that enclosure is way too small for multiple large animals like that! Electric fences? Ha! Electric fences won't stop a fucking goat! Where's the zoo experts? Who designed these enclosures?? Were all zoos this shitty in the 90s???

This t-rex is so happy to be tearing a car apart and pushing it over a cliff! She's got so much energy! She needs healthy outlets! Where the fuck is her enrichment team???

#i love this post #both because it's funny and good #and because it gets right to the heart of the problem #jurassic park wasn't designed as a zoo #it was designed as a theme park #the amazing scientific advances? #the miracle of real live dinosaurs? #it meant nothing #the lives of the creatures themselves were nothing #just the means for a rich old white man to get even richer #hammond was never doing it for the children #the kindly old grandpa facade was a lie #he was a billionaire doing what billionaires do #and this is way too much rant for a post that made me laugh #but here we are 

ok but these tags tho

OMG

immortalized in the game series he loved so much.

no i’m not crying you are

For your consideration

We all know Miles owns a ridiculous red sports car which he drives way too fast, and Klavier has his motorbike. I think Athena has a beat-up little yellow car, probably a two-door, definitely second- if not third-hand. She loves it, has given it a name, and drives a little too enthusiastically. 

Apollo has his license but prefers to cycle. Because of his special abilities he notices everything that’s happening on the road and is good at predicting what drivers around him will do, so he’s a very safe driver. Still, he’s very paranoid and tends to scream a lot when he’s behind the wheel. The instructor who took him for his driving test claims he was deaf in one ear for a week afterwards. 

Juniper has only just got her license and is an extremely safe and sensible driver, but worries a lot that something out of her control will go wrong, and never really breathes easily until she’s safely out of her car at the end of her trip. She gets very nervous when giving other people lifts because she is responsible for their safety, and always double and triple checks that everyone is wearing their seat belt before leaving. 

Ema drives a police car for work and is perfectly competent, but can’t stand other drivers she has to share the road with in busy Japanifornian traffic. She often arrives at the precinct complaining bitterly about being cut off, tailgated, or illegally overtaken by another car. 

Nahyuta has never had the need to learn to drive, since it’s not a common skill to have in Khura’in, and he can easily pay for a chauffeur on his visits to other countries. As such, he’s completely clueless about how cars work beyond the fact that there is a steering wheel and a brake. 

Phoenix is perfectly satisfied with his bike so he never bothered to learn to drive, and probably never will, to Miles’s despair. 

…….And no one in their right mind would let Maya be in charge of heavy machinery.

The Fellowship of the Ring | An Unexpected Journey (2001 | 2012) dir. Peter Jackson

Fun Fact, thats, more or less, something that wealthy people in China and Japan did, they were called “musical floorboards.” Designed to squeak when stood upon. A person could make noise all the way down a corridor.

The residents and servants knew which floorboards made a sound and avoided them. But a burglar, or assassin didn’t. If you heard the creaking of floorboards, you knew danger was coming.

Even better, despite what movies may show, a lot of the old west was founded by Chinese immigrants, so there could have been carpenters around who knew how to make the musical floorboards!

In Japan these are called “Nightengale Floors,” which I love.

I forget the actual name of the design but in Scotland I toured an old house that had one step that was slightly taller than the rest, and the tour guide said that a lot of people did that to trip home invaders who were running up or down the stairs.

BLACK SAILS, 4.04

I think LotR could have ended much differently if Frodo had just turned to Sam and said, “Hey, look, I realize you hate Gollum and don’t trust him at all, but could you please give him a chance? Genuinely be supportive of him? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I am Projecting Heavily on him and my hope and sanity kind of hinges upon believing that he can be redeemed. I thought I was being really obvious about that but maybe not.”

“That’s all very well to say, Mr Frodo, but you and Peter Jackson were both asleep the one time I tried to bond with him over cookery and it didn’t end too well regardless, and also my own stability is pretty heavily dependent on my fixed intention to protect you, so I don’t have a lot of cope left over for him, if you understand me.”

“Christ, precious! Are WE the most psychologically stable ones on this trip?!”
