the demonic force that lives on the landing outside my bedroom made me relive Galadriel's opening monologue to the fotr film in the millisecond it took to pass through the doorway and now I am struck still and petrified, compressing my guts into diamonds with how much malice I am generating "and nine were given to the race of men who above all else desire power" I- hrrgrh hcrscchhh hrrgggrrr

Galadriel. Is literally. She- THE ENTIRE REASON. SHE IS EVEN IN MIDDLE EARTH IN THE FIRST PLACE... IS BECAUSE SHE WANTED POWER. THAT'S IT. IT'S THE UNIFYING MOTIVE ACROSS ALL TWELVE BILLION OF HER DRAFTED BACKSTORIES FOR WHY SHE LEFT VALINOR AT ALL. IT'S HER PURPOSE FOR EVEN REMAINING THERE, IT'S HER SUCCEEDED GOAL, SHE HAS HER RING OF POWER THAT SHE USES TO LITERALLY EMBALM A SILVAN SETTLEMENT IN TIME WHICH SHE THEN RULES OVER FOR 3000 YEARS I- I can't even breathe just the- like it's certainly in character for her but the HYPOCRISY and played totally straight in the films like I'm wheezing I'm choking on my lust for violence right now and GOd especially given the rest of that monologue which might as well have been;

three were given to the elves who are the ontologically superior race seven to the dwarves who make things I suppose and nine were given to the race of men who invented bigotry and hate god

Like no ffffucking wonder the whole lotr fandom is so at home with dabbling in racial superiority and morality hierarchies when it's so brazenly displayed in the opening scene of this film like it's entirely correct, how did Peter just get away with this how did everyone just believe him, local elf queen recounts history of how her race is perfect and the world was pure until those fucking humans came along and ruined everything, groundbreaking!! Reliable source!! Citation not needed, we! will! trust you bro!!
