Dark Matter quotes probably

Two asks Five a question about something they had previously talked about

Five: I don't currently have access to that information. (Busy with some dissected gadget)

Two: ... ?

Six: That means she forgot.

Three: (eating something probably) She's spending too much time with the robot.

Irony

Spotify decides to be dumb and play things that totally don't go with my playlist so I change it to the next one on my list.

The Megamind sound track...

.... I'm sewing stuff for work

.... Capes. I'm making capes.

I'm literally Minion right now

When I put way too much weight into the word Harad.

I’ve a headcanon that the world of Damar is actually the same as that of Middle-earth; just that the names don’t line up because of course the folks that call it Middle-earth are speaking the common western tongue.

Compounded by the fact that we are reading the history of the one ring as told by the Hobbits, who are inherently unreliable narrators because they are not well traveled. The story is meant in its lore to be Hobbit centric. They don’t know much about the world beyond the Shire and even many of the men and elves they get their information from along the way don’t go terribly far south; or east either.

Even Gandalf does not go east!

Aragorn does go east, and south as well, but he says little about what he saw except that the stars are strange.

So of course they generalize Harad on a map. So of course they figure all the East and South are under the will of Mordor. After all, that’s the general consensus in the West unless you go ask (book) Samwise or (movie) Faramir his opinion about the enemy warriors.

Regardless, why would any of them know of a hilly semi arid land circled in the north by high impenetrable mountains where the dark haired, cinnamon skinned people call themselves Damarians after the name they have for their land in their own tongue.  Why would anything be said in the West of the long standing feud the Damarians have with the demon kind who live north of the mountains? Or of the frequent threat of subjugation by cruel inhuman armies mounted on nightmare beasts from the north?

Besides, Sauron would certainly not let it be known one little land full of stubborn horsemen with large hunting cats and dogs and horses to rival the Mearas ( except in the ability to speak), was giving him grief. Especially, with revenge and locating the ring higher up in priority.

That said, it is also a place intermittently looked after by a semi immortal man who was schooled in the way of wizardly arts. Who says his teacher could almost remember the hanging of the moon in the sky. Tolkien is said to have hinted that there may be more wizards than the famous five Istari and that the Blue Wizards may have founded schools in the east.

Damar is also the home of a girl who killed the Black Dragon, supposedly the last of the great dragons who could blot out the sky. A dragon who is personally responsible for the desertification of a large portion of their region and who's speech is very dangerous to any who hear it.

“A Pool in the Desert” in which a character finds Damar on the modern Homelander map, which is pretty heavily implied to be part of our world, made me think of how Middle-Earth is supposed to be an alternate history of Earth; how the world building rules are not dissimilar. Then there is the similarity of Damar to the arid lands of Harad and of course the trivial resemblance of the name Angharad (it's Welsh apparently, Tolkien would probably have approved). So since Tolkien never got around to thinking of stories about the unmapped Middle East-esque area on his map of Middle-Earth, I’m plugging in the handiest substitute.

So I've a theory as to why this giant screen is labeled in English with Metro and Mega planets respectively and it's not the one kicking around the internet.

Im very very tempted to write the fanfic... uhm... sequel? that would explain my idea.

But .... I feel like if I say I will, then I have to commit to it and that means having to fill in all the storyline holes and... Like I don't know if it would end up being a very stereotypically set up story so I'm not sure anyone would enjoy reading it.

.....

Not entirely sure what to do with these over 20 pages

Writers, film makers and storytellers of all kinds

There this thing called the internet where you can look stuff up. AND on there you can ask various websites to tell you what day of the week a particular day was or will be.

Some smart folks wrote an algorithm to figure that out so you don't have to count hundreds or thousands of days of the week into the past or future, while remembering to account for leap years.

It's awesome! Please use it, rather than making things up concerning a detail literally anyone with an internet connection can verify. Unless of course you are trying to insert some sort of Easter Egg.

It contains SPOILERS, duh!

Minion is so understated and underrated in an already underrated storyline. But that’s not even why this is such a good piece of fan fiction. It’s point of view inversion.(often fun especially from great secondary characters) It’s plot hole filler. (Because blink and you probably missed it, but if you were scrutinizing they’re there) And character development all at once, in…. best of all…. Minion’s point of view. Which is one thing frankly lacking in this movie. (The Button of Doom short was amusing but something about the story from Minion’s side would have been more satisfying.)

I invented Elcia so......

What the heck is Area-X and why is there a character in it with my user name?????

Not getting worked up about copying or anything like that, I’m just surprised and weirded out to see it used elsewhere. I’ve been “Elcia” more than ten years now and it is the first time I noticed name copying in a while.
