MY FAVOURITE TOLKIEN CHARACTERS | [14/15] » Samwise Gamgee
∟ The brave things in the old tales and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and looked for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life was a bit dull, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But that’s not the way of it with the tales that really mattered, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually – their paths were laid that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn’t.
straight women need to stop inviting and forcing gay men to be “honorary women” just because they see attraction to men as a trait inherent to womanhood and womanhood only
I don’t think a lot of people understand how frustrating memory and concentration problems are. It’s not cute or “ditzy” or whatever to forget what you were doing or thinking about moment after you were doing it. Being able to complete a task or thought because you can’t remember or focus long enough to finish it is a terrible feeling.
It’s also terrible when people get angry at you for it, and say things like “Well if you cared you would remember” like no I wouldn’t because I can’t fucking control it.
