"Hi, my name is Tairn. This is my scary wife, Sgaeyl, my idiot daughter, Andarna, and my other idiot daughter, Violet."

Tolkien: shut up *throws book*

J. R. R. Tolkien: no, my books aren't about the war I experienced. It's just a story

J. R. R. Tolkien's works: you cannot go home, war ends entire bloodlines, you are mourning the death of your brother alone, you dug into the earth and permanently scored the land, you cannot explain what you have been through, you cannot go home, "that wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life", leaving the women behind does not save them, the young die first, you cannot go home, the parent will bury their child, you have lost the wives and you will never connect with them again, "how shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?", you are not the same, you cannot go home, you can never go home, your father will only side with those he sees as worthy bloodlines and you cannot change his mind, it is more meaningful Not to kill, sometimes your sacrifice accomplishes nothing, you cannot go home

I love this so much

found this one in my meme archives and i think its my 2025 energy

"Do what?" said Pippin.

"Raise the Shire," said Merry. "Now! Wake all our people. They hate all this, you can see! All of them except one or two rascals and fools that want to be important. But not all understand what's really going on. The Shire-folk have been so comfortable so long they don't know what to do. They just want a match, though, and they'll all go up in fire."

- The Scouring of the Shire, The Return of the King, JRR Tolkien
