Somehow I've reached 30,000 words in my exploration of #TheLordOfTheRings and its lessons for the #ClimateCrisis.
I spend a big portion of the book looking what characters do when they come to despair. Word 30,000 came as I was exploring Éomer's defiance of the black fleet during the battle for Minas Tirith.
We may not feel hopeful about the coming years, but even so, we have to keep going.
Kenji Kamiyama’s anime “Lord of the Rings” film aims high, but falls flat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2024/12/26/film/the-war-of-the-rohirrim-anime/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #film #kenjikamiyama #jrrtolkien #thelordoftherings #anime
OK, *this* is an important point. Characters in #TheLordOfTheRings are constantly "despairing", but to despair is not necessarily to give up.
In the story we see *three* reactions to despair. Frodo, Faramir - in fact, most of the principle cast - each feel a sense of hopelessness at some point, but continue to push forward. Some characters are overwhelmed and do nothing - this is Theoden, when we first meet him. And some actively subvert the heroes - see Denethor and Saruman.
Mapping out responses to the #ClimateCrisis and the, uh, Sauron Crisis in #TheLordOfTheRings
I've tried figuring out how this all relates to my book (see bio!) but honestly, there are not a ton of "deniers" in #thelordoftherings
Wormtongue tries to convince Theoden not to act, but it's not a good faith argument. He wants Rohan to collapse because he thinks he'll benefit.
The closest might be Saruman. He thinks the new order under Sauron could be ok? "There is hope that way. Its victory is at hand; and there will be rich reward for those that aided it."

The technical writer in me keeps wanting to edit any #introduction post down to a bare minimum, but I'll try to go against my instincts and let myself be a *little* wordier. 
I am a Fairly Old Person who's been hanging around various fandoms for a few decades. Socialist, queer, kinky, neurodivergent, somewhat disabled.
#StrayKids (#skz) started taking over my life in early 2024, and I'm happy about it. I love all 8 of them to an unhealthy degree, but I'm a touch more ridiculous about #Seungmin, #BangChan, and #I_N.
Sometimes I'm not very clear about the lines between reality and my RPF OT8 polyam shipping feels.
My main fannish activity these days is clipping salacious bits from the many thousands of hours of published skz video content. Maybe one day I'll start editing the clips together into silly videos, but for now I just hoard and gloat over them like a delulu dragon.
If I ever start publishing fannish videos, they'll be on my youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@lookitmychicken
Other fannish hyperfixations (past and present, major and minor) include:
- #ModaoZushi & #TheUntamed (especially #WangXian and #JuniorQuartet)
- #TianGuanCiFu
- #StreetDanceOfChina
- #YiZhan RPF (Wang Yibo / Xiao Zhan)
- #WangYibo himself (I'm responsible for the @YiboSemiDaily image-posting bot)
- #WordOfHonor
- #LegendOfFei
- #Given manga and anime
- #DemonSlayer
- #BokuNoHeroAcademia
- #HunterXHunter
- #TheAdventureZone
- #JeevesAndWooster
- #OurFlagMeansDeath
- #DetroitBecomeHuman
- #AubreyMaturin
- #Temeraire
- #OxygenNotIncluded
- #TheSims4
- #TheLordOfTheRings
- #XenaWarriorPrincess
I don't actively post about these things much these days, but you might see them pop up occasionally.
Back in the days before twitter became x, I made a lot of #FicRec and #VidRec posts over there. I've been reposting most of them here, slowly and intermittently.
...and there are filtered rec lists for specific fandoms, tropes and relationships here: 
https://lookitmychicken.dreamwidth.org/3010.html
I occasionally visit other social sites (tumblr, tiktok, reddit) and boost stuff there, but almost never post in those places.
My non-fannish interests include #permaculture, #urbanism, #tarot, #manicure art, #chickens, and fibre arts, especially #knitting.
Some of my old knitting patterns are on Ravelry:

I'm one of the founders of https://blorbo.social.
My username is inspired by drunk Lan Zhan offering Wei Ying chickens as a courting gift, in The Untamed.
Pleased with my outline themes of Hope and Despair in #TheLordOfTheRings. I'll weave together events from the story with modern climate stories.
- Hope and Despair
- The Line 3 Protests
- Impending Doom of Middle Earth
- Despair as a weapon
- The Nazgul
- The Palantir
- The Words of Wormtongue
- Responsese to Despair
- Embrace Despair (Denethor)
- Hope on, Then
- The plan to destroy the ring
- Theoden riding to glory
- Sam in the black lands
Saying it again in video form: hope and action in #TheLordOfTheRings. If you're not feeling very hopeful right now, that's understandable. We see a lot of the characters in LoTR acting without hope.
