Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

[cryptotheism]

King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.

[betterbemeta]

He didn't want to talk to you.

[swaglexander-the-great]

[findingfeather]

Uh.

Point of order.

King of Horses ran 450 fucking miles at almost entirely a gallop, without more than a few minutes rest, in 4 nights and basically was like "wait why are we stopping?" when Gandalf took him into the city and he ended up in a stable.

This was not his top speed, nor did it push any limits on his endurance.

King of horses is very different from other horses, actually.

[elodieunderglass]

He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties

[darkwizardtheorist]

But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.

I saw this post on Facebook today, and was gonna make a joke about how he's so good in the lab because, when it comes to experiment samples, he knows you gotta keep 'em separated.

But I happened to search the lyric online really quick, and found this:

AMAZING. It's actually where the line came from! Bravo, sir.

Keep 'em separated

Dexter Holland, the lead singer of the punk-rock band The Offspring, has a lot of different interests. One of them is biology.

So i jumped out of bed to go tell my wife this (bc she woke up, she has a tendency to wake up around 2 am bc we're different brands of weirdo) & she said, "Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. He also flies their tour plane a lot of the time bc he just really likes flying." Apparently, he holds CFI, CFII, & ATP certifications, so he's not just a pilot. He's rated as an instructor. And he owns a hot sauce brand, bc why not?

Grand Theft Hamlet is a great movie, by the way, or at least it filled a need I didn't know existed. It's a documentary where a lot of actors in lockdown try to stage Hamlet in Grand Theft Auto Online, getting other people to read various parts, picking places to perform, scheduling rehearsals, picking up some regular people who watch them rehearse, and all the while dodging every other player in the game shooting at them with rockets. It's great.

One thing that especially worked for me, though, was the ghost. This is the first time I really felt it when Horatio begs Hamlet not to follow the ghost. Inside GTA Online, the ghost is in all black except for a ski mask with LED lights in a smiley face, standing on a blimp that Hamlet has to jump down onto from a balcony. Don't follow him, Hamlet!

[forthegothicheroine]

Anyway, go watch this.

[chaotic-archaeologist]

So I did not expect this to be so spectacular, and more fool me. The concept is fascinating, and what you get more than the play is a group of people trying to navigate an adriftness through the timelessness of Shakespeare, where modern conditions and humble truths of human nature clash a magnificent, jarring environment that seems perfectly suited to such a venture.

iron lung spoilers

“a god sees a sliver of our universe through a pinhole and believes it perceives all that is and all that will be, and it is right. a god makes sense of what it sees.”

1) in universe: the ending. the god saw simon and his ship as the same entity.

2) metatextual: THE GOD. IS. THE AUDIENCE. AND. THE PINHOLE. IS. THE CAMERA LENS.

[pin-down-rainbow]

3) in universe: the people on the station only see Simon through a window once he’s welded in. Ava says they’ve come to far not to take risks and makes a last ditch deal with Simon for the black box to make all they’ve done be for something.

[succubusboyfriend]

4) metatextual: the second time Simon goes down, a lot of his conversation with the man in the tow ship is a shot of Simon’s reflection in the porthole, rather than Simon’s face itself. for them, it’s not about how he really is, it’s about how they see him.

5) in universe: regarding the porthole and its eye motif, and regarding the God’s perception of Simon, the COI shields the porthole for his safety and he cannot see through it. but when Simon comes across what lurks beneath, the porthole is forced open. when the monster takes him to the Light, it says, “Open your eyes, Simon.”

(you can also tie this into the voice of the monster urging him against seeing the Light at first, before succumbing to the lure itself. shield the porthole. open your eyes.)

(i have other thoughts about it being an anglerfish and it and the Light being a lot more tied together than not but that’s only tangentially relevant.)

This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'
