have you ever noticed how in the Lord of the Rings films...

Throughout the Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir wears unique leather bracers (forearm-guards) adorned with the symbol of the White Tower and the Seven Stars…

After Boromir’s death, Aragorn takes up his bracers. He takes them as a reminder that Boromir’s kingdom is now his kingdom, that Boromir’s burden now falls on his shoulders….or just as something to remember his friend by…

 Aragorn wears them throughout the Two Towers…

And Return of the King….

And when we’re shown a “flash-forward” to Aragorn’s death, many long decades after The War of the Ring, he isn’t laid to rest in a king’s priceless silver armor. Instead, we find out…

...Aragorn keeps Boromir’s bracers all his life, and is buried in them

Look it’s basic party ettiquite that if something unfortunate happens to a player character, you’re allowed to loot for the good gear, but you can’t sell it. Ever.

You’re in charge of assigning every child on Earth the monster under their bed. One child in particular has caused every monster assigned to him/her to quit. You decide to assign yourself.

[kittenwiskers]

Case: #273402 Status: Disastrous.

I stare at the file and realize I have no options, over the last 2 years every monster assigned to Charlotte Dower has quit, every last one. Her first monster; a giant goldfish-faced humanoid named Bubba, had been with her for four years, and then she wasn’t scared of him anymore. After that it was a string of different common, uncommon, and rare monsters… I even assigned a sentient sock monster to her. He came back crying! I look on my tablet, only one assignable monster left; myself. Field work has never been my cup of tea, but desperate times call for desperate measures. So at 8:03 pm, after Mrs. Gideon tucks in Charlotte and her little brother Daniel; I slither into the space beneath Charlotte’s bed. Across the room underneath Daniel’s crib is a rookie, Chico, a standard Creep kind of monster. I turn my attention to the bed above me, Charlotte is still awake but barely, I reach up over the bed and run an ice cold finger over her cheek, silence, so I do it again. “I’m not afraid of you monster!” She whispers, but her voice is shaking. I can see a small clock on the wall 8:14, a door somewhere in the house slams and there is an audible hitch of breath from above me. A few minutes go by I can hear Francis Gideon yelling at his wife. There are heavy footsteps on the stairs, and loud panting breaths, Charlotte scrambles off the bed and… She. CRAWLS. Under. The. Bed. With. Me. “Move. Over!” Charlotte hisses at me. I do. The door to the bedroom slams open and I smell the stench of human intoxicants before the man even steps inside. I know why Charlotte isn’t afraid of any of my monsters; she’s afraid of her own. Francis reaches a hand under the bed and I thrust my wrist into it, he starts to pull, I slither out. “What the…” I cut Francis’s next words off by unfolding to my full 12 foot height. Looming over the drunken man I caress my cold fingers down his face. “If you ever touch, scare, or harm my child again, I will find you, and I will do the same to you, for all eternity.” I promise to him. As Francis runs from the room he soils himself. I pull Charlotte from under the bed, tuck her back under her covers and kiss her forehead goodnight. “I’ll be back tomorrow night, sleep well darling.” Charlotte Dower is my child, I am the monster under her bed.

MY FRIEND @lizardnoodle DREW ME A BEHOLDER !!

[erinptah]

“but what are Hillary’s POLICIES?”

So I got tired of not seeing any news on HRC’s actual positions because every single media outlet is busy fact-checking Trump’s latest Twitter tantrum, and decided to look some up.

Also, tired of stories about 26-year-olds complaining that they can’t get behind Clinton because they don’t know what she stands for, and also have no idea who Ralph Nader is, even though these frickin’ kids are only two years younger than me and also Wikipedia exists

But anyway. Hillary Clinton! Actual positions!

Guys, there’s so much to love.

We already knew she wants harder regulation on the megabanks, right?

Not as hardcore as Bernie wants, but in the same direction?

Turns out she bundles that with a bunch of provisions to support and protect credit unions!

Seriously, I love my credit union. And they’re tiny and responsible and don’t secretly open millions of accounts in the names of unaware users.

Universal quality pre-K for every kid!

Paid medical leave and new-parent leave. Not just for new moms, either. Regardless of gender.

Funding childcare centers on college campuses for student parents!

omg you guys, her plans for addressing autism. Note the total absence of the word “curing.” It’s all about “providing support” and “early diagnosis” and “improving access” and “increasing opportunities.”

She’s full of specific plans for Alzheimer’s research and treatment

Including supporting stem-cell research

You know how otherwise work-ready people sometimes get stuck as unpaid caregivers when a family member becomes sick or disabled? Well, Hillary wants to give those people credit where credit is due.

By which I mean, tax credit

And Social Security benefits

and you know the horrific unnecessary price hikes we’ve seen on EpiPens and various livesaving drugs? Think that oughta be a crime? So does HRC.

Plus she supports emergency imports of similar treatments from other countries (the ones with quality safety standards, obv) if that’s what it takes to save lives

Hillary stands with Planned Parenthood

Supports more funding for VA mental health treatments

And better training for police on how to de-escalate when they’re called in on a crisis situation

Seriously, she’s coming at mental health from all sides, it’s fantastic

Her rhetoric about the police also hits better training to deal with implicit bias

Comprehensive background checks for gun buying!

Close the Charleston loophole

End the special legal protections that gun manufacturers get when the rest of the manufacturing industry doesn’t

eyyyy, btw, guess where Sanders fell on that issue?

that’s right: this time Clinton was the one dragging Bernie to the left

Solar panels!

I mean, clean energy in general, but “solar panels” is the shiniest part

Automatic voter registration

AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION

No more harried every-four-year drives pleading for everyone to register, even if it’s inconvenient, even if there are serious barriers in your way

No more “welcome to the polling center, whoops, looks like you were registered but it got thrown out on a technicality and nobody told you”

Automatic voter registration!!

Raise the minimum wage to $12/hr

Still not the $16/hr we’d have if it had kept up with inflation since the ‘70s, but a big improvement

I’m not even in a minimum-wage job and this would still give me a raise of at least $320/month

and obviously the tipped minimum wage is a national shame, well guess what, HRC wants to do away with that

Fewer loopholes and more taxes for the super-rich, including the Buffett Rule and a millionaire tax

Hella infrastructure investment plans: covering our roads, bridges, airports, dams, public transit, and Internet access

She’s planning to upgrade our 25 most costly freight bottlenecks

Did you know our country had a cost issue with freight bottlenecks?

Because I had no idea

and this happens over and over with her policies

things you didn’t even know were things

but Hermione Rodham Clinton has already looked up the statistics, talked to the experts, and written the ten-page memo

and listen, voting for HRC for no other reason than to keep Trump and his tax-evading business-bankrupting employee-stiffing racist sexist across-the-board-hateful loose-cannon general inanity out of office is completely legitimate –

but if I never see another “why don’t we know more about her plans?? it is a hopeless unsolvable mystery for the ages!” post again it will be too soon.

[dduane]

This is the conscience I’m voting.

And also: which of the two candidates capable of winning this election would you rather have sitting next to the briefcase with the nuclear codes?

I don’t know about you, but from where I’m sitting, and after eight years of obstruction by the party controlling the legislative arm, it’s (to use the OP’s apt metaphor) a Hermione we need in the White House right now. Not a Draco.

(ETA: Okay, Draco is an imperfect analogy. But: the son-of-a-privileged-(rich)-dad, whiny-entitled-toady-surrounded-bully type, that was what I was reaching for…)

[dimir-charmer]

James Tiberius “sunk all his points into improvised weaponry and bluff” Kirk, space bard.

[dimir-charmer]

Commander “charisma is a dump stat” Spock, space wizard

[dimir-charmer]

Lieutenant “wait, can we use supplemental materials for this?” Sulu, space duelist

[dimir-charmer]

Lieutenant  Nyota“lockpick and detect trap are literally always useful skills guys come on” Uhura, space theif

[dimir-charmer]

Lieutenant Commander Montgomery “definitely going to blow the party up with that flask of Greek fire” Scott, space alchemist.

[dimir-charmer]

Ensign Pavel “Does not know how to tank” Chekov, Barbarian

[dimir-charmer]

And finally, to round out the party, Leonard “I can’t believe not a single one of you motherfuckers took a single rank in healing, I should pick rogue just to spite you,” McCoy, space cleric.
