Happy “Well THAT Blew Up” to this post. In honor of 20k notes, please enjoy three additional gifs I made for this set, but had to cut to fit Tumblr’s 10-images-per-post limit.
If you haven’t seen the meme, it’s three photos of me showing my flapjacks to the judges and then a quote, I don’t remember saying this but apparently it’s how I talk, says “Started making it, had a breakdown, bon appétit”

was thinking about why the lack of female characters in lotr and the hobbit dosen’t feel like exclusion and it’s because they’re just dudes being friends, like they are all just a gang of besties wandering about and the three female characters basically go “right we’re doing this now” and they all just go “alright we’re doing this now :)”
The women are treated as people, who are important, but happen not to be the current main characters. The men aren’t men because they are better than women at swinging swords, they just happen to be male. They go off to war/ the quest because it happens to fall into their hands. None of them particularly want to. They all want to go back to their life at home where they left the women and families.
Mrs Maggot is kind and sensible. Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is jealous and petty but in the end principled and stout. Arwen is beautiful and kind and learned. Galadriel is powerful and ancient and wise, but is tempted by terrible power. The Ents have lost their womenfolk and miss them, because without women there is a loss greater than not reproducing. Ioreth of the houses of healing talks too much and is a little annoying but is knowledgeable and capable. Eowyn believed her work looking after her uncle to be less important than going to war, but she realizes she was wrong. It may be noble to lay down your life, but it’s possible to keep on living and building and healing and that is more important than any battle, and much better than making a home in your despair. Rosie Cotton is faithful and patient and does not take bullshit and keeps the hearth warm in times of crisis.
The women aren’t excluded. They have other important things to do.
not to talk about doctor who but remember being a lonely depressed teenager and hearing him say ‘900 years of time and space and i’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important’
