hi yes lemme go through somethin real fast
this is a sideblog but it’s the one I’m treating as main, if I need to reply or comment or something it’ll be using @meatsouuuuup-but-not-a-sideblog
other sideblogs where I’m occasionally pretty active:

THE BEACONS ARE LIT
didn’t take a picture of it but I liked the “Trinken Verboden” sign on the piranha tank in the aquarium in Konstanz. the tank was completely empty.
BIRD IN THE AIRPORT
got a food item in the airport that did not list sesame as an ingredient and had a reaction anyway. this is why I don’t trust bread and bread related products
anyways I’m doing fine my allergy is very mild and I took medicine already so it’s all good now
Book Aragorn is one of the weirdest dudes in existence.
Nowhere is this more evident to me than when they are going through Moria, and Gandalf pauses a long time at a fork in the road trying to decide which way to go. Sensing the growing anxiety among the fellowship as Gandalf keeps lingering there, Aragorn says: “Do not be afraid! Gandalf has led us here against our fears, but he will lead us out again, at whatever cost to himself. He is surer of finding the way home in a blind night than the cats of Queen Beruthiel.”
Okay, buddy, let’s break that down:
1. Beruthiel is a long-dead queen of Gondor, hated for her cruelty and for her Cat Spy Network. Her husband eventually exiled her AND THE CATS out to sea. Her name was struck from The Book of Kings, but her legend lived on! How could it not.
2. Aside from Aragorn himself, only Gandalf (who is not listening) and Boromir will understand this reference. And I can’t help but feel it’s going to make Boromir immediately suspicious. Why is Aragorn referencing this deep cut of Gondorian history?
3. EVERY OTHER member of the fellowship had to be standing there like, “…Cats?”
I don’t know, Aragorn, I don’t think “don’t worry, Gandalf is better at navigation than Evil Cats” is the rousing speech you think it is.
LOTR characters rated by how much trouble they'd be in airport security:
(we're going to assume it's probably everybody's first time doing this)
Frodo: 3/10 - very cooperative but kinda nervous. If the Ring is on its chain, things are better because he doesn't have to put it in the bin, but he's still worried something might go wrong and it get taken away.
Sam: 3/10 - also very cooperative, pretty organized, unless he's never done this before, in which case he might be kinda nervous about keeping his belongings in sight.
Merry: 1/10 - very compliant, very organized. No complaints.
Pippin: 8/10 - disorganized, chaotic, definitely causes a bit of a scene. Starts taking off his shirt because somebody told him ahead of time "you have to take everything off" and he took it too literally. Probably sets off the body scanner because...that's just the luck he has.
Bilbo: 6/10 - doesn't want to take everything out of his pockets...for reasons. Other than that, he may be a little suspicious but he's mostly fine...if only because Gandalf magically does something to get him through without having to empty his pockets.
Boromir: 4/10 - doesn't want to be parted from his important belongings, slightly chaotic because he can't focus due to trying to keep his eye on his carry-on bag.
Gimli: 7/10 - Averse to the idea of being scanned, becomes defiant and causes an argument. Get your prying hands off his belongings the second they are through the bag scanner!
Legolas: 1/10 - very easy-going & compliant. Also has fair-of-face-beyond-the-measure-of-men privilege, so any issues are simply overlooked.
Aragorn: 9/10 - you remember this guy in Rohan when he had to give the guards his sword, right? Unexpectedly kind of a Karen about having to separate from his special heirloom sword. Unfortunately the security attendants do not care about its heritage or that Aragorn insists he won't hurt anyone. Definitely causes a scene. However, if no sword is involved, he's actually very chill.
Gandalf: either 1/10 or 11/10. Either he does something so all the little things (fireworks) in all his secret little pockets are magically overlooked, OR he causes a big scene like he did in Rohan when they told him to surrender his staff. Definitely causes chaos and frustrates everyone around him for holding up the line.
Elrond: 0/10 - super organized, knows all the protocol ahead of time, exceptionally nice and polite.
Galadriel: 1/10 - she might as well be the scanner, since she already knows what's in your mind. Probably knows what's in your luggage too. A little intimidating, but not problematic.
Faramir: 0/10 - very prepared, very cooperative, even helps other people. No complaints.
Thranduil: 5/10 - has pretty privilege but difficult vibes. A little bit perfectionist, gives the impression he's the one in charge even though he's not, which intimidates the security staff.
Denethor: 7/10 - doesn't even pretend to be polite, very suspicious of security protocol, likely to tell the staff they're doing something wrong.
Éomer: 5/10 - a little suspicious of security protocol, though not as much as Denethor. The security staff keeps an eye on him because he probably said something that comes across more threatening than he meant it.
Éowyn: 4/10 - not a problem herself, but if one of her friends has to get the pat-down, she will probably argue that "they shouldn't have to do that."
Lindir: 5/10 - so, so nervous even though he has like the least cause to be. Holds up the line triple checking there are no prohibited items on his person, then asking one of his friends to check and make sure there are no prohibited items on his person, in case he missed something.
Gollum: 12/10 - either he gets caught trying to sneak past security, or else he absolutely pitches a fit about the whole ordeal, refusing to put "the precious" in the bin, and screaming at the security attendants, calling them things like wicked, tricksy, suspicious, and cruel. Has to be physically thrown out of the airport.
I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don't ask about the raccoon.
But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn's head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?
My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.

WASHINGTON— The Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency lawsuit today against Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum in federal di
Excerpt from this press release from the Center for Biological Diversity:
The Center for Biological Diversity filed an emergency lawsuit today against Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum in federal district court in Washington, D.C., to prevent him from convening the Endangered Species Committee, also known as the Extinction Committee, on March 31.
Burgum wants the committee to approve the extinction of the extremely endangered Rice’s whale and the killing of endangered sea turtles and sperm whales by overriding a National Marine Fisheries Service requirement for Gulf of Mexico oil and gas industry to drive ships at safe speeds in the eastern Gulf and monitor the location of whales to avoid strikes and deaths.
“Burgum’s extinction committee is immoral, illegal and unnecessary,” said Kierán Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity. “There’s no emergency, no legal basis to convene the committee, and no legal way to approve the extinction of Rice’s whales. This sham is nothing more than Burgum posturing for Trump and saving the fossil fuel industry a few dollars by allowing its boats to drive faster and more recklessly.”
The Endangered Species Act’s Extinction Committee is very rarely convened because the law sets strict, narrow standards for its invocation. It was last convened in 1991 under George H.W. Bush.
The committee can only convene 1) in response to an application made within 90 days of the completion of a biological opinion, which 2) concludes that an endangered species’ existence is being “jeopardized” and there is no “reasonable and prudent alternative” to the action. It must 3) hold a public hearing, including witness testimony, and 4) be presided over by an administrative law judge. Burgum’s so-called “emergency” Extinction Committee meeting violates all these requirements.
Ten months ago, the National Marine Fisheries Service issued a biological opinion concluding that oil industry ship strikes were jeopardizing the existence of the extremely endangered Rice’s whale, which lives only in the Gulf of Mexico, and harming endangered sperm whales and sea turtles. This followed an earlier 2020 opinion also reaching the same conclusion.
The Rice’s whale population collapsed after the Deepwater Horizon spill and is today only at about 51 animals.
The agency therefore established “reasonable and prudent alternatives” requiring the industry to drive boats at slower speeds within the whale’s core habitat in the eastern Gulf and to monitor the location of Rice’s whales to avoid accidently striking and killing them. The biological opinion does not prohibit or limit the amount of oil and gas that can be drilled.
Being a starkid fan is so fucking stupid cause you experience one of the most heartwrenching mother-daughter dynamics you have ever seen and their names are Slippery When Wet and Mouthface and their last name is fucking Dikrats
sequel to my rat post. Do you see the vision
Do you guys ever think Frodo pulled the "you and your dad were really mean to my Uncle and his friends that one time" card on Legolas at all during the journey?
Like. Only for the pettiest/stupidest reasons. Only for the bit. Only to be a little shit.
But Frodo definitely mastered the timing of asking Legolas for a favor and then following up with "you know. Since you weren't exactly hospitable to my uncle Bilbo that one time. You remember. You imprisoned all his friends for a century. And then he had to wear this Extremely Evil Ring for a month straight or else he'd also be thrown in prison for a century."
I think Gimli gets to cash in that chip on occasion too because "you locked my father in a jail cell for a century." can get you So Much when you're guilt tripping your travel buddy/boyfriend
