The Hobbits’ Ages in Equivalent Man-Years
I always had a hard time keeping this straight, so I’m laying it out for myself as much as for anyone else who is interested to know. Hobbits, as we all know, don’t age like humans do; they take a bit longer to “get grown” as my mom put it. In particular, they come of age at 33, where it is stated that Men come of age at 18. (this also explaining why Hobbits live so long compared to what we, as humans expect; Bilbo’s ‘oddness’ was not so much that he was 111 years old, but that he didn’t look much older than 50. Most hobbits live to around 100 or above by a few years or even decades)
So if we equate 33 to 18, we can do a bit of algebra and figure up the ‘human’ equivalents of the hobbits’ ages in the Lord of the Rings books. The formula used here is 33/given age = 18/x, where x is the human equivalent. (You multiply 18 by the age given for them in the book, and then divide by 33.)
Frodo Baggins Given age at start of quest: 50. Human equivalent: 27
Samwise Gamgee Given age at start of quest: 36 Human equivalent: 19, closer to 20
Meriadoc Brandybuck Given age at start of quest: 37 Human equivalent: 20
Peregrin Took Given age at start of quest: 28 Human equivalent: 15
And just for fun
Bilbo Baggins Given age at the long expected party: 111 Human equivalent: 60, or if we’re rounding up 61. His age when Frodo found him in Rivendell was 69, almost 70.
I love thinking about the Hobbits in these terms. Being that I am now older than ¾ of the guys who went on the quest, and closer to Frodo than I am to the others, it makes them a whole lot more relatable. This might also explain why a lot of people are put off by how they behave; if you’re looking at them like humans of the ages listed in Hobbit-years, their behavior doesn’t make a ton of sense, particularly Pippin’s. But when you realize they are young adults closer to being teenagers than ‘real grownups’ (with the exception of Frodo), they become much more understandable, and much more relatable. They’re still naive, and Pippin is still a goofy child. Frodo is young enough to be fun-loving and a little care-free, but old enough for people to expect sobriety, maturity, and a certain amount of disdain for his younger friends’ shenanigans. (Especially in a society like Hobbiton, which is way too Upper Class for Pip and Merry’s tomfoolery.)
So instead of a 50 year old and a few 30-somethings, think of them more like this:
Frodo, the young adult who is, perhaps a little too old to be called a “young” adult anymore, but is still trying to hold on to his youth, and prefers the company of his kid cousins to the stuffy old folks at the “grown-ups table.” Frodo, who is still trying to figure out who he is outside of the context of his famous (and infamous) uncle, and who turns to his younger friends and family because they see him for him, not his adopted lineage.
Sam, the impressionable, under-educated son of a poor day-laborer who loves the boss who treats him like an equal and a friend, despite being so much older and wealthier and “smarter” than him, and who looks out for him and gives him a job despite not really needing an employee. Sam, the young man who is barely not a child anymore, who is unwaveringly loyal to the man who treats him more like a younger brother than a landscaper, because he wants to be so much more than a landscaper who barely learnt his letters.
Merry, the self-appointed mom friend who put off his childishness too soon, and who often forgets he’s not the oldest, while still marveling at the fact that he’s one of the grown ups now. Merry, who wants to look after the literal child that’s tagging along with them, his cousin the more-or-less prince who needs him to protect him, often from himself. Merry who still feels protective over Frodo when really Frodo is the one who really should be looking after him, and shutting Frodo down when he tries to do so.
Pippin, the baby who got in way over his head because of love for his family, and a thirst for excitement. The child who wants to be adult enough for the adventure, but is still immature enough to play in the bath. The child who had to grow up too fast because he was too curious. Pippin, the teenager who became a warrior of necessity, who wasn’t even an adult by the time they got back, and who took on the War of all Wars because he couldn’t stand to leave his family and friends to do it alone.
The hobbits seem a lot older when you go by numbers, but if you look at it in our terms, they suddenly become a little more human and a lot more complex, at least in my opinion.
The self sabotage so bad that theres a tiny part of yourself screaming at how horrible a person you are
being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
I’ve read that Agatha said she loved being married to an archaeologist because the older she got, the more interesting he found her. And I think that is one of the best quotes about love that I have ever heard.
my personal pick for most underrated animal is the european legless lizard, which i think is often taken to just look like a normal and rather plain snake, but if you're familiar with reptile anatomy at all it looks more like some sort of bizarre heraldic fantasy creature than basically anything else on earth
it's called the lateral groove and is literally a sort of seam in it's body that's always present:
I /think/ what's going on is that these evolved from something like alligator lizards, which have very rigid, slippery underbellies next to soft, stretchy skin on their sides (where their legs are situated), but now that they've evolved to be a "snake" and don't have legs that need to move around, that soft skin has decreased and turned into a weird little seam so they can slither easier and don't have a big weak point in their sides. it's compensation to have nice smooth scales all over like a snake would, imperfectly using the lizard anatomy they're working with
basically it's the leg removal surgery scar evolution dealt them
my partner might be onto something when she says you can disguise your pickiness and food sensitivity as an adult by calling yourself a “purist.” so instead of saying “the taste and texture of cooked raisins make me want to hmork,” you say “i’m actually kind of a cinnamon roll purist, i prefer just a classic cinnamon filling and a really good dough instead of something with a ton of random mix ins,” which takes you from who gave this four year old a bachelor degree to oh wow this guy is a pretentious asshole about more things than i even thought was possible
idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this
Happy Birthday Usopp!
awesome stuff

Luffy Analysis
This post is analyzing one specific aspect of Luffy. One connection that I feel like gets overlooked.
The meme is "Luffy arrives on an island, some kid gives him food, and he'll overthrow the local dictator". And that does happen. But WHY does it happen? Is Luffy just a benevolent hero-type? No.
This is an iconic line for a reason, it's important for demonstrating Luffy's character. He wants to throw parties, not do charity.
In fact, he rejects the idea of being a hero every chance he gets. After Wano, he chose to not take the credit for beating Kaido and let the populace think some random wandering hero named Joyboy did it.
But there's another part of this line that frequently gets overlooked, and that's what I'm focusing on here. The bit where Luffy says "I love heroes". He doesn't hate heroes, he loves them, Luffy looks up to heroes. He thinks they're cool, he just doesn't want to be one. But he still loves them.
Now, how does he characterize a hero? Someone who gives away food to other people.
That's why he fights so hard to save and liberate people after they give him food. It's not that he's being a hero for them, it's that he's REPAYING them because, by giving away food, they've shown themselves to BE HEROES, and Luffy loves heroes.
Anyone who gives Luffy food instantly becomes a HERO in Luffy's mind, even if they're just a poor little hat-maker girl like Tama.
