     @quinn Image description:
     3-part meme.
     1: The ring from lord of the rings held between two gloved fingers, it is labeled fascism.
     2: An elf labeled "leftists" with the text "Cast it into the fire. Destroy it!"
     3: A bearded human labeled "liberals" with the text "No. I can interview it."

     @quinn image description: meme template based on frame grabs from the live-action Lord of the Rings movie.

     first panel: close-up of fingers holding the One Ring; the ring is captured "fascism"

     second panel: Elrond the elf, captioned "leftists", has an intense, angry and weary facial expression and says "Cast it into the fire. Destroy it!"

     third panel: Isildur the human, captioned "liberals", has a grim smile and says "No. I can interview it."

     (edit: not Legolas/Boromir)

     @timorl @quinn but yeah ... the events depicted happened thousands of years before Frodo was born. the books are the "real" version of events, in our head, so stuff that didn't happen "now" in the book narrative didn't even enter our consideration as something that the movie would have shown on-screen.

     @irenes For once it was useful that I am faceblind and also cannot remember names so just wrote elf and human: https://ohai.social/@GreenSkyOverMe/112008191852377429 (I was definitely thinking of Legolas and Boromir)

     (Also I was three hours late writing the image description)

     @timorl @quinn people were very polite about it

     it was one of those situations where we're pretty happy about the fact the fediverse has an edit button, for sure

     @irenes Oh gods, the posts haven’t federated here, but I can feel the nerds screaming at you that these are definitely not Legolas and Boromir. @quinn
