which I think they might based on how vocally he be hating these rings and they’re definitely making cinematic choices

Robert Aramayo as Elrond has been fantastic this whole time but he was extraordinarily good tonight playing such desperation and courage and I just wanna say it’s going to be devastatingly painful to watch his Elrond beg Maxim Baldry’s Isildur to destroy the ring for him to not . Esp as we’ve now spent such time with them both. Like I know it’s gonna kill me dead if they go with the movie lore there

So this is healing, then, the opposite of the ambiguous dread: fullness.

- What My Bones Know, Stephanie Foo

So,​ your life. There it is before you – possibly a road, a ribbon, a dotted line, a map – let’s say you’re 25, then you make some decisions, do things, have setbacks, have triumphs, become someone, a bus driver, a professor of Indo-European linguistics, a pirate, a cosmetologist, years pass, maybe in a family maybe not, maybe happy maybe not, then one day you wake up and you’re seventy. Looking ahead you see a black doorway. You begin to notice the black doorway is always there, at the edge, whether you look at it or not. Most moments contain it, most moments have a sort of sediment of black doorway at the bottom of the glass. You wonder if other people are seeing it too. You ask them. They say no. You ask why. No one can tell you.

A minute ago you were 25. Then you went ahead getting the life you want. One day you looked back from 25 to now and there it is, the doorway, black, waiting.
