The way I will know my future spouse is The One is if they also appreciate the close-ups of Denethor eating during Pippin’s song for the genius cinematography that they are.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion because it’s a bit disgusting to watch, but like…it’s supposed to be. Come on. He’s literally sat there eating flesh with blood-red juice running down his chin as his men are out there fighting, dying, and he’s doing nothing to help. And it overlays the most innocent species in middle earth singing the darkest song he could think up.
It’s a bit heavy-handed maybe, but so, so clever.

this. yes. if my future wife doesn’t think this too, she will have to tolerate me explaining this every single time.

Reblog if you think the use of singular they/them is valid!

🗣 DIVERSITY IS NOT SAMENESS.
Here’s a small list of interesting people who could have their own historical films
Septimus Severus & Julia Domna - the Libyan-born Roman Emperor who died in York after trying to invade Caledonia and his Syrian wife. She dissed Caledonian (Scots) women for their morals. The Caledonian women dissed her back :D
Barates of Palmyra - a Roman soldier from the Levant who fell in love with, freed and married a local enslaved Briton, who had been named Regina in South Shields in north-east England
Ellen More - a lady in waiting in the Scottish royal court in the 1500s and attendant to Margaret Tudor in Linlithgow.
John Blanke - trumpetter for Henry VIII & famously on record for asking for equal pay
Joseph Knight - made a case against his enslavement in the 1770s in a case that went to the High Court in Scotland
Ignatius Sancho - abolitionist and writer in the mid-1700s
Olauda Equiano - Abolitionist in England in the 1780s
Sheikh Din Mohammed - a Bengali traveller, surgeon, introducer of shampoo-treatments (sounds kind of like Turkish baths) and purveyor of the first Indian restaurant in London in the late 1700/early 1800s.
Mary Seacole - Nurse during Crimean War (1850s)
