Gandalf in The Hobbit: You are Took and that makes you absolutely suited for adventure!

Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring: Who the FUCK let the Took come on this adventure?

[maironsmaid]

He learned his lesson

[golwenlothlindel]

Nah you guys don’t get it. For all that Gandalf complained about Pippin, he better than anyone else knew that Pippin was absolutely crucial. Pippin accomplishes a very impressive feat: not only does he manage to see something in the palantír (most hobbits would perceive nothing, as these stones were designed for use by high elves), but he manages to close his mind against Sauron. That is a seriously impressive feat of ósanwë given Pippin’s youth and almost total inexperience. The only clue Sauron manages to glean from the meeting with Pippin is that he is in Meduseld: which Pippin probably did not even directly give to him. Pippin did not tell Sauron his name, so Sauron is led to believe that Pippin is Frodo. I remind you, in the books, the Good Guys manage to trick Sauron, by making him believe that Aragorn has claimed the One Ring. They can only do that because of Pippin’s ridiculous feat of ósanwë. Far from sabotaging the mission, he is the one who allows it to succeed (albeit, not on purpose). This is why Sauron doesn’t think anything is fishy when Aragorn wins the Battle of the Pelennor Fields by controlling ghosts: that would be consistent with the idea that he is using the One Ring. Which Sauron believes that Pippin brought to him. This is why Sauron pulls out his old “play nice and weak” card from his Númenor days. He first of all believes that Aragorn is a lot more powerful than he actually is, and secondly thinks that the Ring is beginning to affect him.

He should perhaps have remembered that Aragorn is named for Fingolfin. Fingolfin’s mother-name, Arakáno, would properly be translated to Sindarin as “Aragorn”. Most people would not show up to an enemy fortress with an army they knew was far too small, and start a battle they knew they would lose. But Fingolfin famously did exactly that.

When you read the line “fool of a Took!” It is important to understand that in the context of Gandalf calling himself a fool on several occasions. Galadriel too sees beyond the veneer of foolish naivety in Pippin. She gives him and Merry belts that almost definitely were once her brothers’. A golden flower on a gift from Galadriel can only be a golden lily, the sigil of the House of Finarfin. Galadriel, while all hell was breaking loose in Tirion, raided her brothers’ rooms and took their belts from when they were little kiddos, hauled them across the Helcaraxë, and then held onto them for three Ages before giving them to two hobbits she just met. Merry, of course, is comparable to Angrod and Aegnor: his great deed is done in a moment of beserk rage, and it is a feat of strength. This then implies that she is comparing Pippin to Finrod. That’s one hell of a complement coming from Galadriel: but as I just pointed out, entirely warranted. Pippin manages to reproduce Finrod’s feat of radio silence, in the face of torture by Sauron. Which again, is extremely impressive given that Pippin is far younger and less experienced than Finrod was.

Any way, things to try and do to make some noise about this.

Call Discord at 888-594-0085. All I had to do was stay on the line and leave a voice mail.

File a support ticket with discord. This will require you to create an account separate from your discord account.

If you have Nitro, CANCEL IT.

File a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency. You do not need to live in California to do this. I personally checked off "Right to Opt-out of Sale/Sharing" "Right to Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" "A business’s collection, use, storing or sharing of my personal information" and "Children's privacy" because like FUCK would they not be getting that in their efforts to protect them. When they asked for evidence of privacy violations, I shared the Discord press release.

It's also worth mentioning that Discord is headquartered in California.

If you live in a European country, this webpage has a list of all the countries so you can find yours and file a privacy complaint.

Canadians can file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner.

People who say ‘there’s nothing more boring than hearing about someone else’s dream’ I’m sorry that you and your circle are lacking in the department of spectacular and unsettling dreamscapes

[whooooomp]

need That character absolutely delirious with fear. recoiling from everything. unable to parse what's happening around them, their mind stuck in fight or flight. shaking and hyperventilating. completely unconsolable even as they're wrapped in a crushing hug.

[whooooomp]

galaxy brain addition thank you

[thefighting74]

One of the Napoleonic naval tropes I am absolutely gnawing on is the intense pseudo-religious grasp that Horatio Nelson has on the setting.

The way characters invoke his name as something absolutely undeniable. Even if he's not physically present in a story, his name still holds weight. As though he were not a person but a force or the sprit of war at sea. All the captains and officers want to be like him. They speak of him with awe and reverence.

You have stoic and fiercely independent characters thinking, who is this guy anyway? He can't be that great. And then they meet him, and he is. And they they think about how they're wrong. Every time he's in a story, it's just, holy shit, it's Horatio Nelson. He'll probably do something incredibly badass at some point. Because he's Nelson.

You don't get this out of any other figure from the time period. That motherfucker Lord Byron called him Britannia's God of War and he was right.

[hmshistoricallyinaccurate]

Yes, I think about this a lot, and you've put it so perfectly.

It's why one of my favourite scenes in Master and Commander (And there's a lot of competition) is Aubrey telling the story of Nelson rejecting the boat cloak. The way it's performed and intimately shot is like the reverent sharing of a myth or fable. And the dude at that point was still alive!

It's so interesting when you start reading up on Nelson, and you begin to get a better picture of him as a real person, with real human flaws- and then you compare that with the statues, the paintings, the religious iconography. The posthumous canonisation. It's a reputation mostly built on just being really excellent at what he did, showing genuine care for the men under his command, making bold, innovative decisions in warfare, and apparently having absolutely no sense of self preservation.

It's why I love the contrast with his physicality. It's really funny to think of a French captain looking through a telescope, seeing an overly bejeweled, 5'4, one armed, visually impaired little admiral walking the quarterdeck, and going 'o nó'

Prev tags, thank you for reminding me about the songs.

How have I never seen/heard these before?!?! I’ll admit one of my favorite songs is about Nelson, and I am not immune to the Nelson mania because the end makes me Feel Things:

And also this one is just a banger:

… and also this one. If one has a playlist about the Royal Navy there must be at least one (1) Nelson song.
