I swear they'll never admit it but the Tolkien fandom can be so toxic sometimes good grief
SpoilerITS JUST AN ANIME MOVIE ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD GO READ THE BOOKS AND CRY FOR ALL I CARE THEY'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE LET US NEW AUDIENCES ENJOY SOMETHING COOL ON THE SCREEN
Spoilera lot of people are complaining that they've made the protag a badass female princess instead of focusing on her dad who's a preexisting character but like
Haleth exists?
Luthien exists?
Eowyn exisits (and I think this character is more then likely based ON her)???
Spoilerand I get that we're all a little sour about Rop, but the way I see, if it's bad it'll be fun to laugh at and I can at least enjoy the aesthetic, and if it's good then it's good!
anyway

Yeah, I'd heard the director was famous. Another reason not to jump the gun on calling it trash.
I don't know if I'll see it in theaters but it would be cool!

And also, Helm did in fact have a daughter. She's just never named, iirc. So she's not an invented character. There's also not a huge amount of information to go on anyway, so they have to make some stuff up.

update number 198302934 on the stat situation
. . .
my counselor convinced me I should try to take it, and I agree (despite my whole rant earlier)
The college will let me wait to drop out for a few more weeks, so I'm going to try and do it. I really want to improve myself and do something worthwhile with me time, even if it's hard.
How am I feeling? Okay. I'm okay. I want this to work. I'm gonna make it work.
(despite my whole rant this morning)
Thanks for being so supportive the past little while as I've freaked out about it.
Love you

do you have to regret choices even though you know they were probably the right ones??
stupid rant about stuff you don't have to read it--I hate to constantly dump my emotions here but it's really hard for me to talk to people about myself.
SpoilerNow I'm feeling like I shouldn't have dropped stat, and that I could have handled it if I had pushed myself . . . more importantly working towards that scholarship was the only important thing I was doing with this school year aside from AP art. Now that's down the drain I feel like there's so little point in anything I do at school.
I just hate that I feel anxious about something, so then I cut it out of my life because that's what they tell you to do. But then, I feel anxious about cutting it. Because they always say I should push myself if I want to get stronger, and I should go out of my comfort zone--the problem is, is that everything is out of my comfort zone. Everything. Getting out of bed, talking to my friends, going to school, heck sometimes leaving the house is terrifying.
But that's not the case for everyone, and I know I'm not meant to compare myself. But everyone is growing up and becoming stronger, and I stay in the same wishy washy void were I don't really do anything, but I don't not to anything either.
If I do try to push myself even though I'm scared, I fall apart and can't do that thing anyway. But if I don't, then it raised the question of if I'll ever actually improve. Get better and stronger.
I feel so stuck, and it's entirely my fault.
And it's stupid because not everyone was going to toil over college classes their senior year--I'm sure a good amount of people my age don't care, and just want to graduate. I have all my credits, graduation isn't an issue at all. I even have a different scholarships opportunity I can utilize if I really want to go to college.
And, one could argue that I am improving--because I actually told my parent's I was anxious. I usually just internalize because telling them is scary, but I actually told them how I felt, and I'm proud of myself for that.
Another plus (because I'm trying to make myself feel better), is that without the home hours of studying I'll have more free time and I might be able to handle a job on top of school (and school will be less tiring without a super intensive class).
That being said, if I run away now because the class feels too hard, how can I ever go to college? Because it will just as bad if not harder. If I'm not ready now how will I ever learn to be ready later?
The schedule changes close at 3 pm today, so technically I could still take it back.

Yeah, it's not required. Technically, none of my classes are required this year because I have all my credits.
What it was, was a college class that they hold at the high school, so you can take in now instead of later when you go to college (it's a lot cheaper in highschool too). The idea is I take stat 1040 now and then it would be on my college transcript as an official grade.
Plus, at my school if you take so many college classes and have a good GPA, they automatically give you a scholarship--this is what I was trying for with stat 1040.
But yeah, the more I think about it the better I feel. I'm signed up for some other college classes later this year that might not be as hard, so if I want to push myself I can do it then.
My mom keeps reminding me that just because I'm becoming an adult, I don't have to do it quickly. I can take my time on things, and I'm trying to remind myself of that.
