Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night By Dylan Thomas // The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King

The peace I needed 💗

YES. This is canon, don't try to tell me otherwise 😜

The only valid characterisation of Third Age Galadriel is "mother-in-law from hell who trolls Elrond at every opportunity by making snide remarks about his ancestors or making fun of his Fëanorian accent in Quenya". Give her a glass of wine, and she'll spill the tea on every prank she and her brothers/cousins ever played on Turgon, or how Luthien really was That Weird Girl, or how Maglor was an overdramatic lil bitch, and when someone accuses her of lying, she'll go "don't question me if you weren't there" before launching into another story about that time someone put a lizard in Fingolfin's boot.

YES to all of this!!! Especially the Tolkien one - little pre-teen me literally SCREAMED with joy when I found out my favorite book series was written by a devout Catholic author & had Catholic themes

some catholic memes:

how many nuns can you fit in a car

pyromaniac altar children

discourse abt whether screaming babies should be taken outside or be allowed to stay at mass

the heating of the church is broken again

how many crosses is too many to have in your house

saying “Christ suffered for us” when you have to tolerate minor inconveniences

saying “Christ suffered for us” as an excuse to not go to the doctor

saying “Christ suffered for us” when you have to listen to someone sing terribly

priests are always down to eat and drink

acting surprised when mass starts on time

“At the very heart of the spiritual life is the conviction that God stands in need of nothing. Our existence adds nothing to the perfection of God; rather, our existence, in its totality, is a free gift. Therefore, our moral excellence adds nothing to God, and our moral depravity takes nothing from God. What follows from this metaphysical insight is the saving knowledge that God is incapable of playing games of calculation with us. It is not as though we have to ‘make up for’ years of misbehavior in order to be pleasing to God. It is not the case that we have to mollify the hurt feelings of a long-suffering God before he will draw us into his life. The Creator of the universe, the uncaused cause of all finitude, is always ready to celebrate with us, because he is neither compromised by our sin nor enhanced by our virtue. He is nothing but love, right through, and therefore the party is permanently on. All we have to do is respond to the invitation.”

— Bp. Robert Barron

Some scorching hot tea right here 🍵🔥

What the US has done with COVID doesn’t surprise me because they’ve done the exact same thing with global warming.

- turned its existence into a political issue

- acted like it will go away on its own

- not paid attention to it and pretending it’s because they don’t have the resources

- blamed it on other countries

- made it hard for state governments to handle it on their own
