oh my god IT’S TRUE
also much as i hate to mention the solo movie when chewie introduced han to the wookie they found in the mines his first reaction was to pat hans head like you would when you meet a new dog
To further the analogy of Han is the Dog, According to various canon sources, a Standard Human in the Star Wars universe has a life expectancy of roughly 100-120 years. A Wookie has a life expectancy of around 400 years.So, caring for Han for Han’s whole life is a commitment of less than a quarter of Chewie’s life. It’s like having a dog that lives to 20-22. A long term companion, but one you know you’re probably going to outlive.
When they kill your dog
oh my god

The Lady of the Lake is pretty chill. Her cousin, the Witch of the Waterfall, is a little less sociable.

a list of current immortals
florence welch: probably like 200 BCE celtic queen
keeanu reeves: 1500 renaissance hoe
jeff goldblum: late 1800′s i would guess
harry styles: fairly new immortal, 1970′s
lorde: 1920′s flapper era
hozier: man who even knows, rough estimate is like, 400 BCE
john mulaney: 1930′s/40′s, still bitter about the great depression probably and if he could put it in a bit with out being #exposed he would
paul rudd: newest to the immortal club, didn’t age past the 1990′s
I feel like this list is forgetting Sir Patrick Stewart who I believe has not aged since 7000 BCE.. After all his twin brother was the Kennewick man..
as a self-appointed expert on Hozier, i would say that date is possibly accurate.
many of Hozier’s songs reference being buried in the earth (In a Week, Work Song), and some are directly inspired by bog bodies (Like Real People Do, Run). two of the most famous Irish bog bodies, Old Croghan Man and Clonycavan Man, are dated between 392 and 175 BCE, and both are speculated to have been kings ritually sacrificed to the goddess of the land. in Take Me to Church, Hozier demonstrates a willingness to offer sacrifices to a goddess, and in Foreigner’s God, he thinks fondly upon the image of a pre-Christian Ireland (“when the land was God-less and free”). as well, Old Croghan Man is estimated to have been about 6′6, and Hozier is about 6′5.
the only possible flaw in this theory is that in a Facebook Q&A (here at 5:28), Hozier says that he is over 3000 years old. 400 BCE only puts him at ~2400. it could be that after so many years he’s lost track of how many thousands, but another possibility is that he is more contemporaneous with an older bog body, the Cashel Man, also presumed to be a sacrificed king. that would put him closer to 4000 than 3000, but again, we could forgive an immortal for getting his millenia wrong.
in any case,
it seems likely to me that Hozier is an ancient Irish king who was ritually sacrificed to the old gods, but somehow returned (possibly through intervention by said old gods) to give us music subtly hinting at his experiences.
this hozier addition is frighteningly detailed and I’m here for it

we all like to complain about the love triangle in the hobbit movies and fair enough it’s a horribly overused and lazy trope but let’s be real it was BARELY a love triangle…like all legolas ever does to indicate he’s even remotely interested in tauriel is watch her talking to kili with a vaguely annoyed expression on his face in the desolation of smaug, which is in character for legolas given that he stares disconcertingly in the wrong directions for about half of his total screentime in the lord of the rings, and then say that one throwaway line about how his dad “ is my king, but does not command my heart” that never gets brought up again and which, given that it’s in the nature of tolkien’s elves to be as overdramatic as possible and embellish every sentence they utter with unnecessarily flowery nonsense, could honestly just be legolas telling tauriel they’re really good bros. even the scene where he puts himself between her and thranduil’s sword fits the bill, since the lotr films already demonstrated multiple times legolas’ tendency to be canonically absurdly ride or die for his friends.
BROKE: legolas is jealous of kili because he sees him as a rival for tauriel’s affections
WOKE: legolas is jealous of kili because he’s worried that he’s going to rob him of his only friend
also legolas is gay
