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?!”

1. A dark fairy tale as a metaphor for the effects of war on children, set in the midst of the Spanish Civil War 2. A superhero movie that features a war between mankind and magical creatures 3. An action movie where the heroes have to share their minds and bond emotionally so they can punch aliens from the sea better. Also Charlie Day is a scientist. 4. Basically what would happen if all three Bronte sisters got hammered and wrote a book with Lord Byron. and 5. An adorable woman falls in love with a fish man. Not a merman. A FISH MAN.
that wolf-meets-dog-horror comic got me thinking about werewolves and how different kinds of werewolves must have very different feelings about dogs. like, my erskin was born a wolf and remains very staunchly a wolf in terms of his self identity. his boyfriend bel just got turned into a werewolf a couple months back. and they stand at totally polar ends of like… the werewolf opinion spectrum on dogs.
like, erskin finds dogs to be kind of pathetic, mutated idiots— part alien child and part alien toy. he’ll go to a dog park sometimes for funsies, like you might go to the circus and laugh at the clowns, but he doesn’t respect dogs or want to interact with any of them on an ongoing basis. he would probably eat a dog if he was hungry enough and got the drop on one. he might actually have already eaten a dog. he’s definitely eaten foxes. in contrast, he thinks of wild wolves as people, just people who aren’t as smart as his relatives. they look and sound like people.
bel is like overwhelmed with delight and joy that as a werewolf he can communicate with other canids and is busy disney princessing it up with every fox and coyote and chihuahua he comes across. humans and dogs are just predisposed to like each other: being able to communicate even more clearly with each other due to lycanthropy just tightens and reaffirms that bond.
so i bet wolfish werewolf families have no dogs whatsoever, and humanish werewolf families have two to three times as many dogs as werewolves. mixed families have… a lot of friction.
just moving along like everyone else
