@joshcarlosjosh You had the wrong GIF, let me help
@joshcarlosjosh I come back to you now at the turn of the tide…
@joshcarlosjosh I’ve been thinking a lot about how we are fighting the same fight that’s been going for a long time in this country. The enemy is the same and it has ebbed and flowed at different times. Right now it’s about enduring until the ebb happens.
@joshcarlosjosh Call your therapist. It’ll all be okay buddy.
@joshcarlosjosh 💚 Samwise the Brave 💚 Always gives me courage.
@joshcarlosjosh Jfc, some of the people in the comments like ‘the good guys won’ makes me wonder if they really read Tolkien or their media literacy is lacking so badly they can’t grasp the points he was trying to make about forces of good coming together to overcome hatred
@joshcarlosjosh Yeah, it turns out dragons and magic rings were more realistic parts of LOTR than there being good in the world. That was the real fantasy all along.
@joshcarlosjosh Hope—we will get through. We need the dark to appreciate the light
