THIS GAVE ME SO MANY CHILLS OMFG
Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses
King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.
He didn't want to talk to you.
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.
He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties
But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.
things i wish someone told me before i started writing (and also things i ignored anyway)
okay. writers of tumblr. i’ve compiled a list of things i desperately wish someone had sat me down and said before i started writing, not that i would’ve listened, because i was 14 and powered entirely by hubris, iced coffee, and my wattpad era.
anyway. here we go:
1. stop rewriting chapter one. i know you think it’ll fix everything. it won’t. it’s a hydra. you cut one head off, two Google Docs appear.
2. your first draft is not a treaty with god. it can be messy. it can be unhinged. it can have 47 placeholders named “idk something happens.” it’s fine.
3. perfectionism is just fear wearing a blazer. write badly on purpose. humiliate your draft. it builds character (yours).
4. word count culture is a scam. you are allowed to write 200 words and call it a day. you are allowed to write 5k and then disappear into the void for three business weeks.
5. google docs autosave WILL betray you. download backups. then back up your backups. then sacrifice a pen to the writing gods idk.
6. description is not pretty synonyms. it’s specificity. the torn movie ticket in their pocket. the buzzing light in the hallway. the chipped nail polish on their thumb. write the thing not the aesthetics around the thing.
7. dialogue isn’t two Shakespeare ghosts monologuing at each other. interruptions. trailing off. people lying. people avoiding the truth. people saying “whatever man.” let it get messy.
8. you don’t need a whole map before you start. sometimes you just need one character with one problem and the stupidest idea imaginable.
9. reading your old writing will make you cringe but also cry a little because wow you cared so much. keep that version of you alive.
10. don’t wait to ‘be good.’ you get good by writing the stuff you think is embarrassing.
11. also: nine out of ten times, your “bad” idea is actually the one that goes feral and grows teeth and becomes your WIP.
12. hydrate. no further explanation.
ok that’s it because if i keep going i’ll start confessing things about the time i wrote a whole novel in 2017 that will never see daylight again.
reply if u relate or if u too have 87 abandoned document fragments in your google drive.
The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.
HOLY SHIT
"The Montana court separately declared that transgender people constitute a suspect class under the state's equal protection clause. In legal terms, a suspect class is a group that has historically faced such severe discrimination that any law targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny to survive—the same standard applied to laws that discriminate on the basis of race. [...] The practical effect is sweeping: any Montana law that singles out transgender people will now face strict scrutiny, meaning the state must prove the law serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve it—a standard that laws almost never survive.
"Because the decision rests entirely on the Montana Constitution, it is insulated from the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the principle of adequate and independent state grounds, the federal Supreme Court cannot review a state court's interpretation of its own constitution, so long as that constitution provides more protection than the federal one. [...] What this means in practice is that Montana's transgender residents now have a constitutional shield completely independent of the Supreme Court of the United State’s decisions."

AI is a freacking plague, I share this for any windows user.
I find it really interesting at the start of Megamind, during his monologue about his childhood, he refers to his actions as evil. But they’re like, very not?
He’s treated like a criminal for simply ‘growing up’ in the prison. They never try to take him out or put him with another family. Because he’s associated with the criminals, even as a hyper intelligent baby, he’s put into their category. They don’t even give him different clothes to go to school, they let him sit there in prison orange. That would be socially isolating, especially when he hasn’t even committed a crime. It really demonstrates the nature vs nurture aspect of the movie, because even though he hasn’t committed a crime yet, people assume the worst of him just because of where he came from.
When he first goes to school, he uses the only skill that makes sense to him. He tries to connect with his class mates through technology, something he’s confident in. He accidentally causes a fire trying to recreate something Metro man did effortlessly. Megamind in the future views this attempt as evil and he’s punished as a child for it, when the fire wasn’t deliberate or done with ill intent.
The same thing happens when he tries to protect himself from being bullied. He’s put on his own dodgeball team and isolated further from his class mates. He again tries to use his skills but create a helmet to deflect the balls, which doesn’t go the best way as he breaks a window and nearly hits the teacher. We can assume these kinds of things happened many times before he actively tried to do something ‘evil.’
Even his first act of evil is just a blue smoke bomb. You see loads of bad boy stereotypes do pranks like this, think Bart Simpson. At best, he’s doing an overblown childhood rebellion. He’s by no means a malicious person, he just wants acceptance. And when it becomes clear that people are not willing to accept him, but criminals are, he embraces that side and internalises their behaviours and beliefs throughout his life.
Even when he is ‘evil,’ it seems more like a game. A way to prove himself to others. He thinks that’s what’s going to complete this empty feeling in him he’s had ever since being socially rejected. Minion says that Megamind is happy when they kidnap Roxanne, I think it’s only because he enjoys having social connection, even if it’s through being evil or pretending to be somebody else.
Reblog to hug prev
Please
“you’re so quiet” thanks! i actually tried to speak twice but you kept talking over me
can y'all imagine the fire nation soldiers' reactions if toph was sent to one of those "fully metal and inescapable" prisons in the middle of the ocean like katara and haru were on in s1e6.
Like, imagine they're like "hahaha you can't escape! There is no earth here for you to bend!" And this little 12yo blind girl starts laughing her ass off in their faces and then she just makes a fucking hole in the ground and falls through it.
The guards spend the next few hours freaking the fuck out because theres a little girl somewhere in their walls and her haunting cackles are everywhere
Happy Pride, bite a transphobe today 💙
99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

it’s funny how we’re getting to the point in the AI lifespan where you can feel the desperation from tech companies to have you use their AI features. instagram has moved their AI effects to the top of the menu when you’re creating a post for your story, exactly where the draw/edit button used to be. gmail is creating one-click AI-generated replies right before you open up the text box. spotify put a beta AI playlist generator on the front page that looks just like a search bar so all of their users accidentally click on it when they go to search for a song.
tech companies are shaking in their boots trying to prove to shareholders that their investment in AI is worth it, to the point where they’re tricking their users into using the AI features even for a split second in order to fudge the numbers. like awww is your little environment-destroying toy not wielding the results you hoped for? so sad!
If you have captions for the first part of your video but not the rest that's not like. Gonna trick me into turning the volume on. I'm just not gonna watch the video 😂
"If covid was damaging our immune systems, we'd be seeing more disease in general"
Don't forget that the normalization of anti-vaxx sentiments has DIRECTLY contributed to this. RFK jr has blood on his hands.
Also deregulating our food, water and air is also killing us so thanks RFK u fucker
An important tweet
This is such a "common sense" way of putting it. Everybody memorize this for spitting it back out whenever needed.
Never thought I'd have the opportunity to say this again: Reducing women and girls to their vaginas and then forcing them to show those vaginas to strangers is not a feminist ideal.
