The girlboss-ification of Galadriel bothers me so much. In the books, in Tolkien’s works, Galadriel is a powerful political leader, even by the second age. She is a princess of the Noldor, the daughter of Finarfin. She is proud and respected.
In the Rings of Power, she is nothing more than a bitter commander in Gil-Galad’s army. She can’t even control her own subordinates. (They call her “Commandeer Galadriel” not “Lady Galadriel”!) She is ignored by Gil-Galad and condescended to by Elrond, she is dismissed and rebuked. She has no influence and no status of her own. So far in the show, her motivation is just vengeance and her own trauma, there is no greater consideration of the fate of Middle-Earth, no political aspirations, no nothing. Her identity becomes one of being Finrod’s little sister, not a leader of her own.
In the Unfinished Tales, there are many inconsistencies in Galadriel’s history, but none of them suggest this powerlessness and this humiliation.
I don’t care if they make her out to be a warrior or not, I don’t care if she leads people into battle or not, I do care about her political power.
They say they are centering female characters, which would be great, except they are disempowering her. I would much rather see a woman in a position of influence and respect, than one who is good with a sword. This is Galadriel, who refused Feanor, one of the greatest elves of all time, when he asked for a strand of her hair, and in Rings of Power she becomes a cast-away who is thrown around, ignored, and manhandled by those around her.
I understand the need to have room for character development and growth, but this is not that. It’s such a performative attempt at feminism, she is a classic 2010 female protagonist. One who is good at fighting, who is the underdog, who doesn’t allow herself to be kind or gentle or have emotional vulnerability, because the writers forgot what female empowerment actually looks like. A woman with dignity and political power is so much more important than a woman who can carry a sword.

I always crave intimacy, but always get scared to be exposed and vulnerable.
It's so scary how willing I am to expose myself and be vulnerable with him.
It's even scarier how he still wants me after I told him my deepest, darkest self.
It's scary to love and be loved this hard. Because, one day, he will leave and I'll be alone.

I was tested + for COVID-19 as per my PCR test result on Jan 12. 5 tests and 27 days of quarantine later, I could go back to work. Then, in the first week of my comeback, one of my colleagues said, "your aura radiates so much happiness, you glowed!"
Sis I'm just back from 3 weeks of eat sleep exercise and repeat, with no work and zero amount of stress. Of course I'm glowing.

I want to just take a second to acknowledge the fact that if bucky wasn't drafted in the war the avengers wouldn't exist.
Think about it - bucky isn't in the war so steve doesn't try a whole lot hard to be in it as well
Steve never becomes captain America and bruce never tries to recreate it
Bucky doesn't fall from the train and never becomes the winter soldier
He never kills Tony's parents and so there's a big chance tony never gets captured and thrown in the cave so no iron man
If Haword doesn't die he probs joins peggy in agents of shield and lives a long life being In some type of high ground position in shield
In that case fury doesn't become director for quite some time and he isn't there when Carol comes to earth so there's a big chance she never becomes captain marvel or at least no where near in the way we know of in the current time line
And so clint is either not sent to kill natasha or doesn't even become an agent
Someone else gets sent and they either secsede or she kills them and never becomes black widow
So at that point the only avenger left is thor and I don't rly think he'll be able to be the only begging to the avengers
So either no avengers or some knock-off bulshit so yeah
The entire mcu revolves around bucky getting drafted
Have fun with that thought

have you ever noticed you pick up little habits and phrases from the people you love? it’s no wonder our hearts are so easily broken when people leave. we become a reflection of the people that we care about and those personality traits stick with us even if the people don’t

i know that bucky was Going Through It™ in this episode and i was supposed to focus on his recovery and the struggle but oh my god he looks so hot. seeing him for more than 30 seconds in a row and actually hearing him talk is too much for me and i cant focus on feelings rn he's just. so good looking.

If somebody needs me I’ll be in my bed trying to process how good Bucky looks on Falcon and The Winter Soldier. Good night.
