Upon rewatching the Hobbit movies and remembering old meta I got the feeling that “greedy” is an informed attribute to Thorin, something I think canon wants me to believe is just part of his base personality, but I still don’t see it.

Yeah, neither do I. Brusque, absolutely, but he’s not greedy. His arc at the end of DoS and through BotFA is pretty clearly a downward spiral into magical mental illness. (Damn Smaug.)

can you make an amazon wishlist or the list of books you want to buy and how I can get them to you? you’re a great writer and i love buying people books.

I’m sorry I’m so late in answering this!

Long story short, I do have an Amazon wishlist as of a few minutes ago, but I’m paranoid enough not to want to post it publicly. If you, amazing human, would like the link, please come off anon and I’ll send it to you. 🙂

Can we please stop trying to publicly revoke the oppressed status of light-skinned people of color as a punishment for historical or current anti-Blackness within their particular group? Anti-Blackness is disgusting and inexcusable, but a group’s oppressed or POC status doesn’t fucking go away because they mimicked PRE-EXISTING racist power structures in order to assimilate or survive.
