Aragorn protecting the hobbits from the Nazgûl:
One difference between the Lord of the Rings books and the Peter Jackson films that I find really interesting is what the hobbits find when they return to the Shire.
In the books, they return from the War, only to see that the war has not left their home untouched. Not only has it not left their home unscathed, battle and conflict is still actively ravaging the Shire. They return, weary and battle-scarred, to find a home actively wounded and in need of rescue and healing. All four launch themselves into defending their home and rousting those harming it, and eventually succeed. But their idyllic home has been damaged, and even once healed, is never quite again the Shire they set out to save.
In contrast, in the Jackson films, they return to a Shire shockingly untouched by the horrors of war. The hobbits of the Shire talk, in the Green Dragon in Fellowship of the Ring, about not getting involved with issues "beyond our borders," and it seems those issues have not invaded their sanctuary. After having been bowed to by kings, dwarves, elves, and men alike at the coronation in Gondor, their only acknowledgment upon returning home is a skeptical head shake from an older hobbit.
One of the most poignant scenes to me in Return of the King (and there are a considerable amount) is the scene where Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are sitting in the Green Dragon. The pub patrons bustle around them, talking loudly, clapping excitedly, drinking cheerfully, just as they had in the beginning of the story. But the four hobbits sit silently, watching almost curiously at what was once familiar but is now foreign to them. Their home has not changed. But they have.
Which is the deeper hurt? To come to your home to find it irrevocably changed, despite all you did to keep it untouched and the same? Or to return home but no longer feeling at home, because it is only you that is irrevocably changed?
Continuing with the LOTR series! ⚔
Also, I’ve decided I'll be selling the originals after I finish all the drawings (that means after Easter). But if there is any character you'd like to have in particular you can start reserving them now. By messaging me here or on s.u.w.i@email.cz :^)
All reserved!
The prices are from 50 to 80USD (shipping included). And same as last year with the dog drawings this year also all the earnings will be sent to charities.
Thank you! 🌿
The Slovak edition of Good omens is really nice in design, I wanted to make a version with the Crowley and Aziraphale from the Tv :]

Good Doggos...omens? ❤️
i dont even have guilty pleasures anymore i just like stuff and if people have a problem with that they can go fuck themselves
googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
Broadchurch | S1EP3 | Alec Hardy’s Wettest Moments (Part 10)
Things Neil Gaiman said about our ineffable husbands that make my heart skip a few beats:
- this is a love story
- they like holding hands
- they held hands in season 1 (he let us figure out that it was on the bus)
- it’s implied that Aziraphale stayed at Crowley’s apartment the night after the No-pocalypse
- this is a love story
- roughly 4 years passed between s1 and 2
- they will have a cottage in the South Downs at some point
- shoemaker-cum-obstetrician
- he called Michael and David ‘my boys’

Watching Mary Poppins with the kids.
"MOM it's Crowley's umbrella!"
After pointing out that Mary Poppins came before Nanny Ashtoreth was employed raising the not-Antichrist, my son nods seriously and says, "Well, Crowley would like Mary Poppins. She is a witch."
Fair.
