Bienvenue, mon ami

Ron Francis Burulien, Duke and General of Hadsbury, father of five, English, Zeimnorox, and French. Not too active but I figured this will be a good way to become more familiar with human culture! Man's gotta do his job right.

My Outlook was hacked and used by scammers/spammers, so I had a hard time logging back into Tumblr due to password changes and my old brain not being able to handle the memorizing of them. 

I returned to this.

Something I am finding interesting in the Earthic variant of Tumblr is that, their idea of certain things, and tag sorting, is very much different from ours at home. I put an interest of sociology in and I’m getting Buzzfeed-like link suggestions for pages about the struggles of being a college student. I’m interested in the progression of human sociology and development, not the hard-working borderline-millenial self doubts about his or her educational decisions!

As well, I put in landscapes, because Earthic photography reminds me so well of Uvabus, but thus I am confronted with dogs covered in fairy lights because one attention-seeking youth is craving more attention then their post directs? Is it not a little silly- the pettiness and greed of untouched humans to such an extent that they apply their hunger for more to something as simple as mistagging something so people unrelated will witness it. The intellectual would be insulted by your purposely poor tagging, and the non-intellectual will simply see dogs and indulge! Would you want the non-astute viewing your content and hearing your opinions?

This is my petty complaint for today. I suppose I am overthinking these things.

[excerpts-from-tolkien]

But courage and strength were renewed in the Elf of Nargothrond, and departing from Taur-nu-Fuin he led Túrin far away. Never once as they wandered together on the long and grievous paths did Túrin speak, and he walked as one without wish or purpose, while the year waned and winter drew on over the northern lands. But Gwindor was ever beside him to guard him and guide him; and thus they passed westward over Sirion and came at length to the Beautiful Mere and Eithel Ivrin, the springs whence Narog rose beneath the Mountains of Shadow. There Gwindor spoke to Túrin saying: ‘Awake Túrin son of Húrin! On Ivrin’s lake is endless laughter. She is fed from crystal fountains unfailing, and guarded from defilement by Ulmo, Lord of Waters, who wrought her beauty in ancient days.’ Then Túrin knelt and drank from that water; and suddenly he cast himself down, and his tears were unloosed at last, and he was healed of his madness.

–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Children of Húrin, “The Death of Beleg”
