so you're telling me that the Catholics have a new mascot that's a cute anime-style blue-eyed teal-haired anime (girl(???) or boy, possibly???) and her name is Luce? As in latin for light, so they're a bearer of light? like... Lucifer? Okay.
For better or worse, Luce has the power of God & Anime on their side.
holy shit the pope’s vtuber avatar reveal
I don't know if it's official but apparently Luce got their own cryptocurrency and AI chatbot
I don't know if it's funnier if the Vatican is pushing a crypto and AI scam or if somebody stole their copyright to do it instantly after they announced their new mascot.
The Fellowship gets on the topic of their ages one night and Boromir comes to the dawning realization that he has absolutely no idea how old any of his companions are supposed to be at all
Boromir, pointing at the hobbits: I don’t know how your ages work
Boromir, pointing at Legolas and Gimli: I definitely don’t know how either of your ages work
Boromir, pointing at Aragorn: I thought I knew how your age worked but apparently I was wrong
Boromir, pointing at Gandalf: I especially don’t know how your age works
Gandalf: It doesn’t, but carry on
Listen I will die on this hill. I don’t care what it says in the assorted apocrypha, if you go by the Actual Text of LOTR you can make a very good argument that Boromir is the youngest member of the group.
The hobbits are the only ones given official ages in the text, and are between fifty or fifty-one and twenty-nine. Elves and dwarves notoriously age slowly, and Gimli is the offspring of one of Bilbo’s pals, so okay, we’ve established that he’s old enough to call the hobbits young, and Bilbo confirms for them that Aragorn is Pretty Old For A Bigjobs. Gandalf is, of course, eternal.
But we are never given any context for Boromir and Faramir’s ages, except that a) they are humans and, though Sons of Gondor, not much longer lived than most Bigjobs, and b) Faramir is A QuiteYoung Man. I was absolutely convinced, when I read the books as a youngun, that Boromir, being in ‘the flower of manhood’ iirc, was probably between 25 and 30.
And it would be Freaking Hilarious, okay, for Boromir to finally get around to actually asking how old this baby-faced hobbit carrying The Ring is, and get told ‘oh, he’s only fifty, but he’s very steady for his age.’
Boromir: ?!?!?!
And then Pippin and Merry start asking everyone how old they are because this is fascinating are we all official adults here except for Pippin or what.
Boromir: …. Pippin isn’t an adult HOW OLD IS PIPPIN.
Pippin is just 29, which is why everyone calls him Pippin, it’s gonna be at least another 20 years before he can make Peregrine work. Why, how old is Boromir?
Boromir, who would rather DIE than admit to being 28 right at this moment: …. 43.
All the others, weighing up his apparent age compared to theirs: Sure, sounds legit.
Gandalf, who knows for certain, does not say anything because he is absolutely certain that telling Pippin that he’s older than Boromir will be an unmitigated disaster.
LOTR Heritage Post
As everyone reading the post probably knows, Pippin was only 28 during RoTK and makes a particular point of being ALMOST 29, LIKE PRACTICALLY 29 RIGHT NOW ACTUALLY, DEFINITELY 29 THIS VERY YEAR, in a conversation with a child where he does not necessarily come off as the more mature. He was probably making such a clear and important point because hobbits are considered “full” adults (emotionally) at 33. That’s why Elrond’s heart misgave sending Pippin on the journey - he was contextually underage. That is, of course, nerd stuff and not especially interesting.
What is interesting is that Elijah Wood was an actual teenager when acting in the movies but Billy Boyd was 33, the same age as Cate Blanchett playing Galadriel. Born in 1968, Boyd is 9 years younger than Sean Bean (Boromir) and 8 years older than Dominic Monaghan (Merry).
It takes a very concentrated type of energy to be the eldest actor in the hobbit grouping by a healthy margin, and play the youngest character, and there is probably a lesson for all of us. It’s probably something like keeping a flexible mindset, drinking lots of water, staying in touch with friends of different ages, etc. It also goes to show how little reference point younger people really have for being 33.

I think one of the reasons the dwarfs are so interesting in Dragon Age is that they are the only race truly living in a post apocalyptic society.
Yes, blights have ravaged the surface of Thedas, but they have always managed to rebuild afterwards. The dwarfs have two cities left, and the rest of their cities, their homes are teaming with darkspawn, with the thing that killed hundreds of thousands of them. The surface gets breaks from the blight but the dwarfs never do. The surface gets to build and expand but the dwarfs have to fight for every inch of land they have and even then they rarely can clear it all. And yet they have to live with the knowledge that once upon a time they did have a nation that spanned Thedas, they had connections and roads and kingdoms which will never come back, which have been forever lost. That's so fucking interesting.

In fact, if anyone tries to bar or intimidate you from voting, you can report it, because that shit's a federal offence. 🗳️
Wow. The patience, kindness and calm communication skills. Outstanding.

This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this
I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation
They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.
Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can
“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”
damn that is so powerful though
“it’s easier to
love ourselves when we feel
loved as ourselves”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I’ve been waiting since March to post this…

The next Tesla model is gonna be made of bubblegum and popsicle sticks and using the handbrake makes it fill with chlorine gas.
The next Tesla model has tires that slash themselves whenever Elon Musk wants attention and you won’t be able to change them until you like 100 of his tweets
The next Tesla model asks you three riddles before you can charge it, but they’re really terrible riddles and if you get any of them wrong a Starlink satellite crashes into your house
The next Tesla model is gonna have no windows, doors, or roof, instead using a “force field technology” that doesn’t keep out insects or rain but will electrocute small children in or around the car.
The next Tesla model takes you on a magical nostalgic adventure through beautiful landscapes where you’ll fight the forces of evil and begin to uncover mysteries of your past only to reveal in the last second that there is no conclusion, none of it mattered at all and you’re an idiot for even caring about it. Then it kicks you in the stomach.
Can’t it be both?
Neurodivergent Magic To Make An Item Disappear:
Pick up the item
Hold the item securely in your hands
Get distracted by something
The item is no longer detectable on this plane of existence
There is no reversal spell. The item will never be seen again.
Final point is incorrect, item will resurface three years later when you've forgotten what it's for
This was the best scene in the whole series
Scenes like this are great, because they go into religious horror without making the entire faith evil. Having a demon plainly state that the bishop is an arsehole and deserves hell is always a good plot, especially when the demon IS correct.
a demon telling you god is not real or god doesent care about humanity is easy to shrug off as demons lieing
but a demon telling you god is real, god is good and god hates your guts quite literally puts the fear of god in you, especially when your about to find out if hes right in about 20 seconds
(From Netflix’s Castlevania, which is excellent.)
I love this show and this scene but also it just makes me think of this
i’m at a party right now and i heard someone on a walkie talkie and i turned around and it’s a mom who left her kids home on their own for the first time ever (they’re old enough) and they live a few houses down so she gave them a walkie talkie to call her if they get nervous. they just walkietalkied her for permission to eat ice cream
she told them they can stay up and read for 30 more minutes 🙌🏻
