I think my favourite part of the Thor trilogy is how at the end of dark world we saw this
And we all just went “OH SHIT!!! LOKI’S KING!!! EVERYONE’S FUCKED!!!” But then Ragnarok rolled around and it turns out all he does is
Watch plays of himself and
Build big statues like hot damn the avengers really wasted a whole movie tryna stop this bitch when they could have just written him a play and built him a statue and he would’ve been satisfied
He also built rails on the bridge so people would stop falling off of it.
All the man wants is some entertainment and basic safety.
So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences
We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s
But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time.
Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture
Rohan is even farther back, based on old anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)
Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture
And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times
And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed, and life didn’t yet exist
And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as
“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”
“Oh no sweetie, you’re not insane. You’re describing what we now know to be a histamine intolerance disorder…I’m sorry for the way you’ve been treated. But we’re going to help make things better for you going forward.”
So I guess I have a Magic Nutritionist to add to my collection. Also I’ve not been crying on and off all day, you’ve been crying on and off all day.
I’m reading some of the symptoms of this and OH MY GOD.
-Chronic headache
-Unexplained exhaustion
-Sleep problems
-Congested, runny, or itchy nose
-Unexplained anxiety
And MORE.
I’m sitting here like
LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS?????
Considering THIS is one of the causes?
-Vitamin B-6, vitamin C, copper, or zinc deficiencies
Along with THIS:
-Extreme or chronic stress
AND
-Injury or trauma
It also says antidepressants can cause it and not one person looked at you and said: “Hmm, maybe it’s THIS”???
GOD WOW.
I am SO glad you got an answer, I am SO happy for you and I wish you a wonderful and painless experience with Magic Nutrition Lady. Magic Physio Man should approve.
“

lol, of course they didn’t, they were too busy assuming I was an irrational female and kept upping my valium dosage, which, as a fun aside, valium is linked to an increase of histamine levels in the body. Even the pain killers I’m currently prescribed, are linked to a histamine response.
I literally cannot fucking even right now. But god fuck and damn me I’m alive to seek vengeance so there’s that.
What are the treatments for histamine intolerance?
They’re kind of at a loss cause they don’t really even know how to officially diagnose it let alone treat it. Diagnosis hinges primarily on ruling other things out first and then going “welp, shit.”
Some doctors in the US don’t think it’s even real, but according to my new doctor it’s gaining traction thanks to European research. And the way it’s treated is through low histamine diet for 6 weeks to try and lower body inflammation, and then you find out what you can tolerate and try not to overload your system and trigger a meltdown. So it’s basically just constant lifestyle management, antihistamines, and hoping like fuck they figure something out soon.
There’s also supposed to be some benefits from taking a specific food enzyme? But I haven’t looked much in that yet.
