has no name but amber, archers, cinnamon, horses, and birds.
the above gif has nothing to do with this post, it is just gorgeous and i love super junior very much so.
it's time! for the massive post in which gabs waxes eloquent about a thousand (huge exaggeration) fandoms she loves outside of k-pop :D below we have lotr, inception, pirates of the caribbean, and the marvel movies.
okay note here: fandoms doesn't really mean i ship anything in them ;; it's more like the movies and books where i am particularly obsessed with certain elements of them so yes.
1 lord of the rings
okay. oh gosh. i have a lot of lotr feelings, and i guess i'm just going to spout off about a few of them because there really is so much :D
aragorn. oh my gosh i have so many aragorn feelings, because to me he is possibly the best hero i have ever encountered in any movie. i'll freely admit here that i've been in complete love with this character ever since the first time i watched the lotr movies, because while legolas is just incredibly gorgeously (asdjfkl orlando bloom), aragorn is perfection. we know nothing about him when we first meet him; strider is very enigmatic, and yeah, a bit dodgy, but dfdsifsdj it's not too long when we discover woah badass fighting skills and in a suphah-intense relationship with a gorgeous elf and woah heir to the throne and djsifd perfect king perfect man i love him.
pippin and merry all my feels. tbh i don't care as much for frodo and sam as i do many of the other characters, and pippin and merry are just infinitely more likable i feel ;; i love how young they first appear, and how they just cast off that naivety to become brave badass heroes in their own right, because that is flawless character development and i love it :3
i have a lot of feelings associated with the lotr ost tbh. the theme of rohan (the one with the fiddle ;;) has to be my favourite because it's so incredibly evocative; country of the horse-lords, eowyn, the spirit of rohan itself, their first charge in the battle for gondor, ugh all my feels. i swear i go all shivery every time i hear it ;~~~; (here and here)
there's so much more. my boromir feelings; tbh i will always cry at his death, because even if he was a flawed character, he died a good man, and that means a lot to me. also him acknowledging aragorn as a brother is such a huge thing, especially contrasted later against denethor's resentment and anger and shit, boromir was so fucking admirable ;; and the special thing, it could be very easy to hate him, when you consider how faramir is treated so fucking badly because of boromir, but you just can't, because boromir's death meant so much :'(
also can i just say about much i detest denethor. i think he's quite possibly my least favourite character in the entire trilogy; i just find him completely revolting and argh. his death scene makes me happy, okay :|
another major thing about lotr for me is watching the making of the movies (start here :3). it was such an incredible process; they filmed the entire three movies over the space of like 2-3 years, and watching the behind the scenes is amazing; there were all these little moments and things where you can just see how powerful making something like that must've been, and yeah. also, so much respect for viggo mortensen ;~~~~; and andy serkis, WOAH.
this is actually a really short list when you consider all my lotr feelings! but yes ;; ALSO 1 and 2. SO FUCKING EXCITED.
2 inception
mm okay. this is probably going to be a lot shorter sobs but still ;; i have watched inception twelve times now, and tbh i will never get bored of it. it is, and will always be, one of my favourite movies, because i find it such a fucking intelligent movie, it is brilliantly imaginative, and somehow all its flaws just make me think harder instead of annoying me :3
okay first of all, let me start with cobb. i guess my cobb feels... extend mostly to pity and occasionally irritation at him. he is so fucking flawed, in a really scary way, and somehow i still don't think the end of the movie solved much of his problems. the moment he loses it at arthur in the first level of the dream, that's when you see the real cobb, for me; he doesn't give a shit about the rest of the team, he's all about him him him, and that's a bit...
arthur and eames feels. okay, i firmly believe that if either of them had been a girl, anyone who would've watched the film would've come away with those two were involved at some point and okay yeah, i have a lot of arthur/eames feelings and will spout them at anyone interested, especially that moment in the taxi where arthur's voice actually cracks when he's asking eames if he's okay ;~~~~~~~;
what else. um, the last scene always gets to me; this one, when cobb wakes up on the plane and just ;; the music is so fucking powerful here, and everything about this scene is just so gorgeous ;~~~~;
3 pirates of the caribbean
i have to say the main reason why i love potc so much is that... well okay. it could've been just completely comedy and swashbuckling romance with no depth at all, but the fact that there's so much focus on what it means to be a pirate is what makes me love it.
the soundtrack. garghhhh the soundtrack for all the movies is so fucking brilliant okay. my favourite track is probably one day from at world's end because violins and things and dfgfhu it is gorgeous and i love listening to it up loud with my headphones in and imagining i'm a pirate cries ;~~~~~~~;
okay i have to admit, i don't really pay as much attention to the fourth movie as to the first three, primarily because no more will and elizabeth. not that i don't love jack -- i adore him okay, but to me will and elizabeth really gave me half my feels for potc, through their experiences and feels and things and i just thought the fourth movie didn't have that much meaning to it ;;
hmm. surprisingly, that is all! i guess i'll just say; potc makes me feel like a pirate. like an amazing brave badass swashbuckling pirate sailing on the seas and just ;;
4 the marvel movies
ugh ugh ugh. the avengers is coming out next week and i am going to completely lose it because i have fdijfifgd feels for marvel and just ;;
okay first, tony stark. i will squash anyone who dismisses him as an asshole and nothing more, because gdi, tony stark is so much more. fucking genius, just throwing himself into saving others without a care for anything, this is a man who cares so fucking much and will do anything for anyone he cares about. i have to say i ship both steve/tony and pepper/tony, because quite frankly pepper/tony seriously pulls at my heartstrings, okay ;~~~~~;
CAPTAIN AMERICA. ahhhh omg, his weapon is a fucking shield, he is all about protecting, not hurting. "i don't want to kill anyone, i don't like bullies" that is the essence of steve rodgers, he saves people, he protects people, he isn't a weapon. to me he's a true superhero, okay, and yet so much tragedy as well ;; bucky's death still makes me cry ugly tears because fucking hell, it hurts so much :(
thor and loki. THOR AND LOKI. argh omg so so so so many feelings ;;; loki will never ever be a villain to be, he's not the bad guy, and i want him to be fixed okay :< if he dies i will cry so fucking much okay. and thor oh my god i just adore thor okay ;~~~;
so much more. anything between erik and charles (magneto and prof x) makes me cry ;; especially when the prof dies in xmen 3 fdfjsdijf. okay i think xmen first class just gave me so much more feelings for these two ;;;;
I AM SURE THERE IS A LOT MORE THERE WILL DEFINITELY BE MORE WHEN THE AVENGERS COMES OUT OKAY : 'D
