recently learned about Lita Ford, the guitarist for Joan Jett's band The Runaways, who found herself in perhaps one of the cockamamie predicaments of all time

this shit literally sounds like the plot of a yuri manga. girliepop walked right into the setup for a 60,000 word slowburn f/f fanfic and couldn't even appreciate it

"I thought, 'You know, it's really no big deal, that I shouldn't worry about that,' and I hoped to God that they call me back and get me back in the band, because I was thinking that they would go on to achieve superstar status and that I would just be sitting at home and doing nothing," Ford said. "Thank God they called me back and they said, 'Lita, we can't find anybody that could play guitar like you. Please come back.'"ALT

The reason she got back with them is almost as funny. She literally got Straight Larried cause they couldn't find anyone else who could shred as good.

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

someone should remake lord of the rings as a grandfather telling a fantasy story to his grand child with flashbacks to world war one showing the dead boys and men the characters were based on. grandpa why didn’t they just fly. because they didn’t. they didn’t.

I will never get over how Tolkien & Lewis took the horrors of war and spun them into fantasy.

Shivering in the trenches dreaming of cozy hobbit holes, shaking as bombs pockmark a forest and imagining each shallow mud-filled crater contains a new world—that maybe there are still as many beautiful things in the universe as there are bombs—that maybe the world is bigger than this moment and this ugliness and one day this will be a peaceful forest again full of small ponds.

I mean look at these photos of the shell craters in Sanctuary Woods, near Ypres Belgium and tell me it’s not the Wood Between The Worlds:

(poll) in a survival cannibalism situation, which part of jared harris would you consume first? (knock-down drag-out debate raging in the tags including sidebar quibbling about how to read the ‘survival cannibalism’ aspect of the question, every single person who has reblogged is acting like there is a single objectively correct answer, ‘tumy’ is winning over ‘The Dick’ by a significant margin) (289 notes)
