I don't fuck w nerds, the moment I can smell lore correction coming I'm like "Oh Neptune" and I gotta call my mom and ask her to pick me up

If I'm like "I really liked the scene where Gandalf learns the truth about the Ring in the first movie" and someone's like "Oh you mean when he was in Minas Tirith, originally known as Minas Anor when it was first built in the Third Age?" I am pulling the nearest fire alarm

[parkchanwoohoo]

Them: Pelargir prospered further under the reign of the the Ship-kings, and Tarannon Falastur, 12th king of Gondor, built a home there, though Berúthiel, his wife, didn't care for it

Me, sweating: D. Did you know that. That Viggo Mortensen really broke his toe. In that one scene

[tricky-pockets]

hey quick question, probably not important - how did you know all that stuff to put in the hypotheticals

It has been remarked by some that hobbits' only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation, as we have also developed a keen interest in the brewing of ales and the smoking of pipeweed. But where our hearts truly lie is in peace, and quiet, and good tilled earth — for all hobbits share a love of things that grow.

r/relationships

I (24F) got my FWB (20M) killed. How do I convince him to break up with me?

[yellowraincoat]

r/AITA

Am I the Asshole for destroying my childhood skeleton to get back at my dad?

I (20M, undead and undying) recently got into a fight with my bio dad and had my ghouls burn my old skeleton from when my dad killed me in a ritual sacrifice and it really upset him. Am I the asshole here? Is there a way past this? He’s been trying really hard to reconnect with me for the past few days.

[literally-literate]

r/AskMen

I ritually sacrificed my son (20M) hundreds of years ago and he's still sensitive about it. How do I get him to man up?

He's acting like a brat and wasting his time on a low value mortal woman (6/10 and I am being generous). Should I send him some Andrew Tate videos?

[sarahreesbrennan]

6/10?

The Great God is so kind.

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

holy shit this person in the notes

Anyone got that comic about making up a strawman to make a point and then turning around and the strawman is standing there

[benbrusque]

This one?

Thanks

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote

My medieval servant boy has gone missing. I’ll just use Google to see if I can find him.

[astrangertomykin]

Oh bother.

[dggeoff-deactivated20161128]

It took me a minute

[keepcalmandcarriefischer]

Gotdamn I haven’t seen this post in almost a decade

[rennerei]

always 🙏

[goldensunset]

hello, it’s me, enlightened historical fiction feminist heroine. i hate being forced to wear my long hair gathered up neatly and securely behind my head. oh how i long to let it flow free and whip around wildly in the wind and get in my face and my eyes and my mouth and get snagged on everything

[jackironsides]

I also like to not wear my supportive undergarments and let my voluptuous breasts flop about painfully when i go running into the hero's arms

It was in forgotten years long ago that Eorl the Young brought them out of the North, and their kinship is rather with the Bardings of Dale, and with the Beornings of the Wood, among whom may still be seen many men tall and fair, as are the Riders of Rohan.

‘I know it’s unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous…’

[jelasdax]

It’s about taking everything that you are and placing it into the hands of your beloved, hoping that they won’t crush your very soul into dust in between their lovely hands and yet choosing to feel honoured if they do because at least they wished for it.

… and it’s probably going to go very badly for them before it gets better

[lgbtlunaverse]

To me the most fun part about fix-its is placing dominoes.

Tragedies often consist of escalating series of actions and circumstances which, in isolation, were not clearly leading to the tragic end but form a chain of cause-and-effect directly towards it in hindsight. In equal but opposite fashion, I love starting with small inoccuous changes to canon that in themselves do not obviously fix everything but start a new chain that leads to a better ending.

It's kind of impossible for fix-its to feel fully natural– the reader by definition knows what the original ending was and that this ending will be happier because the writer wants it to be– but it is possible for them to not feel contrived. A big deus-ex-machina, or a character breaking with their pre-established tragic flaws to suddenly make all the "correct" decisions almost always feels unsatisfying to me.

But a few carefully placed small domino pieces slowly knocking over bigger and bigger tiles until the entire story has radically changed? That's a lot more fun.

It recquires the author to both correctly identify the original chain of cause-and-effect and understand the characters well enough to know how they'd react to different circumstances. Because if the story feels like it's fixing the wrong problem or the characters don't act like themselves the magic is lost. But when it works? When it clicks and the reader sees the domino chain laid out in front of them? It's beautiful.

I command the storm

And you command me

[sarahreesbrennan]

This has to be my first Fanart Friday for All Hail Chaos!

It is beyond my wildest dreams that I should have a scene drawn directly from the book, that it should be That Scene, and that it is so beautiful! What sorcery made the chair glow? Look at the Abandon All Hope Diamond, and the claws and the COLLAR! and the storm beyond! All so artfully and thoughtfully rendered. Thank you so much.

[emeraldincandescent]

I literally just read this scene like 20 minutes ago and it was HOT AS FUCK and this drawing is EXCELLENT. fuck I love Key on his knees SO MUCH

Had to reblog again for the description of my book as a loyalty kink buffet.
