are you really bad at it or are you in "good at it" spaces

[bigbigtruck]

"are you really bad at it or are you in 'good at it' spaces" has derailed so much self-hate since I read it

this is a load bearing sentence in my psyche and I can't believe it's only 2 months old

tomodachi life should have a morality slider in character creation. so you can create characters who are jerks, to create more friction and have more interesting interactions. and if they meet the right person, an evil person can have a change of heart, or a good person can be corrupted to the side of evil

I could go on a whole spiel on Maglor's character but that's not relevant here

said whooooooo

said who

....

can we have the spiel

Completely disorganized thoughts: there's a lot of unfavorable interpretations of Maglor here, but hey you asked.

1. Maglor might be the nicest and mildest-tempered but I don't think that makes him the "token good" son of Feanor, nice≠good.

2. I don't see his adoption of the twins as an alturistic descison. I think he mostly did it to alleviate his own guilt over the 3rd kinslaying as well as the death of the Ambarussa, not to say that he didn't grow to love them but I won't give him redemption points for that.

3. For one with the "mightiest voice" , it's really ironic that he couldn't get his brothers in line the way Maedhros could, and that he couldn't persuade Maedhros to surrender to Eonwe at the end. This also ties to Maglor's feelings on Maedhros' abdication : Despite being a competent ruler during Maedhros' absence, he willingly gave the crown back to Maedhros when he returned, only for him to hand it to Nolofinwe (a descision he would've made with or without his brothers' unanimous approval) without consulting Maglor, which unwittingly reinforced the idea of Maglor as the lesser and weaker elder brother. This had to have caused some friction between M/M, not that Maglor would ever voice them out loud and add to Maedhros' burdens.

4. I believe his constant use of song for evil acts weakened the strength/power of his voice over the course of the First Age.

5. Maglor's wife is never mentioned or brought up in any meaningful way, these is most likely another instance of the Feanorians erasing their women out of history for their "unfaithfulness", Maglor is no better than his brothers in this aspect either.

6. This is where I admit I might be reading too much into things, but Maglor being the one to slay Uldor is quite noteworthy to me. It could've been Maedhros who was leading them, or Caranthir who first trusted him, or even either Celegorm or Curufin who had a huge distaste for the Secondborn after what happened with Beren. But it was Maglor specifically. Is he playing into the role of being Maedhros' right hand by being his executioner too?

7. Maglor started out as a famed attention-grabbing minstrel in the limelight and ended up as a lone wandering hermit who tries to keep out of everyone's sight. Oh and he probably turned into a crab too.

tibet art dump ft. nepal... guys does anyone else fuck w himalayan yaoi

The dog is a 200+ lb Tibetan Mastiff named Sengge and belongs to Tibet! The Tibetan Mastiff has historically served as a livestock guardian but also a guard dog against predators of the Himalayans. The red thing hes wearing is called a kekhor, and traditionally is made from dyed yak wool. When a dog moves with it, the fluttering of the khekor is meant to make the dog look like its head is encircled by flames.
