does the recently re awoken old god of decay/ a giant mushroom, meet the criteria for the born sexy yesterday trope?

[bitchfitch]

is the concept of decay a himbo?

[fangwhoria]

Oh no oh no my research into Khuzdul morphology lead me to a page on that brought up the connections between Khuzdul and Adûnaic, and the specific example it used was talking about how in Adûnaic, “gimlu-nîtir,” which means “kindler of a star,” incorporates the objective form, since “gimlu” is the objective of the word for star, which is “gimli”

And given that this is Tolkien and there is very little coincidence with his languages, and also that it’s canon that dwarves use names from the languages of Men instead of their Khuzdul ones when interacting with non-dwarves, that means Gimli is actually named “star” and I’m having some kind of feelings about it!

[astriiformes]

I can’t emphasize how much this has undone me. The fact that in Middle Earth the stars are so heavily associated with the elves, in their very mythology and throughout every single work, but Gimli, Gimli who grows so close to an elf despite their rocky start, Gimli who is named elf-friend, Gimli who sails to Valinor with Legolas – his name means star, too. And Tolkien absolutely did it on purpose! The themes! The symbolism! Sir!!!

[platinumnib]

Gimli: Bro, wanna go stargazing?

Legolas: *looking him in the eyes*

Legolas: Bro I am stargazing.

Gimli: B r O

Me showing up to the party with a far more attractive friend.

[lair-master]

c’mon the bard’s not THAT ugly

[linguisticparadox]

It’s all a matter of perspective. You could say beauty is in the eye…of the beholder.

[woolfrog]

whenever someone calls thebootydiaries “booty” I start laughing why is it so funny

[thebootydiaries]

please, call me booty, mr. diaries was my father

I’m pretty sure that as far as “infuriating helmets you’d hate to see before you get stabbed” go, this one is definitely up there

[addiewho]

Up there, yes, but is it really quite all the way at the top?

[bonersquat]

why the fuck weren’t any of these in dark souls

I….

There is no human expression powerful enough to describe how much I love this.

I saw a post talking about how Terry Pratchett only wrote 400 words a day, how that goal helped him write literally dozens of books before he died. So I reduced my own daily word goal. I went down from 1,000 to 200. With that 800-word wall taken down, I’ve been writing more. “I won’t get on tumblr/watch TV/draw/read until I hit my word goal” used to be something I said as self-restraint. And when I inevitably couldn’t cough up four pages in one sitting, I felt like garbage, and the pleasurable hobbies I had planned on felt like I was cheating myself when I just gave up. Now it’s something I say because I just have to finish this scene, just have to round out this conversation, can’t stop now, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m having an amazing time writing. Something that hasn’t been true of my original works since middle school. 

And sometimes I think, “Well, two hundred is technically less than four hundred.” And I have to stop myself, because - I am writing half as much as Terry Pratchett. Terry fucking Pratchett, who not only published regularly up until his death, but published books that were consistently good. 

And this has also been an immense help as a writer with ADHD, because I don’t feel bad when I take a break from writing - two hundred words works up quick, after all. If I take a break at 150, I have a whole day to write 50 more words, and I’ve rarely written less than 200 words and not felt the need to keep writing because I need to tie up a loose end anyways. 

Yes, sometimes, I do not produce a single thing worth keeping in those two hundred words. But it’s much easier to edit two hundred words of bad writing than it is to edit no writing at all.

Something else to thank Pterry for. :->

I was thinking about the movie adaptation of Interview with the Vampire and was about to make a “Here’s my review: not gay enough” meme about it, and I’m having a fucking stroke because I guess I’d never seen an unedited version of the meme but it turns out its origin was actually Interview with the Vampire

[soupmoss]

apparently the kids at summer camp are obsessed with playing an irl version of Among Us and today i helped scheme with the other interns and counselors to come up with a list of “tasks” for the kids to do, which is really just chores to be done around the farm that we don’t want to do. and they love it. the kids love it. thank you, Among Us.

do you ever wonder whether:

you identify with characters BECAUSE you’re a lot like them, or

you start to morph into the characters you love because you love them

I’m curious, how has dragon become disjointed from its original meaning by FR in your mind? I definitely agree with Exalt, but to me FR Dragons are still firmly Just Fantasy Dragons, and not separate from that.

the FR community uses the word dragon much more liberally than a lot of other places I know of and playing FR for so long has kind of recontextualized what I do and don't count as a dragon. Like Obelisks, Tundras... they're.... pushing it.

Also outside of the canon too, the way dragons are displayed in fan art and lore puts them not only in a space beyond their original boundaries in their various mythologies of origin but in a place that sits oddly even among contemporary popular media (with the glaring exception of the WoF series which I personally never consumed but it does exist. Although even then the traits and behaviors of the dragons there from what I've seen don't deviate as wildly as the shit show that is FR fan lore)

and either way this is just my thoughts from the few minutes I spent typing this I may or may not change my mind in a bit. Also I made this diagram:
