airpods are literally such a massive downgrade like remember when headphones cost £2 didn’t need charging didn’t randomly disconnect and didn’t get lost all the time. remember when tech kinda worked for kinda cheap

bilbo baggins gets away with talking an absurd amount of shit for a guy who comes up to most people’s knees & looks like he was born sitting in an armchair smoking a pipe in a dressing gown and slippers

[valtsv]

my personal theory is that everyone who encounters him is so surprised that this well-mannered country gentleman looking little guy has the nerve to stand up to them and as a result it throws them off so completely that it prevents them from even considering a punitive response

[valtsv]

bilbo, clearly lying his ass off: i did not come to steal from you, o smaug, chiefest and greatest of calamities

smaug:

thranduil: so, this is the halfling who stole the keys to my dungeons from under the nose of my guards

bilbo: …yes

thranduil:

gandalf: biLBO BAGGINS it’s time for u to get off ur ass and see the world come on

gandalf one (1) year later, watching bilbo attempt to sternly lecture a gold sickness-crazed thorin from the top of the erebor barricade in front of two opposing armies: oh valar what have i done

Oh man… I thought I was over my Hyouka feels. But then this AMV happened.

gamecube was the best designed controller of all time exclusively for the button cluster that gave you easy thumb roll access to all buttons but also gave you the a button as a thumb rest (because it’s the one you press the most) and took into account the frequency with which each button gets pressed in its design rather than doing the stupid diamond design that gives no button priority and rests your thumb in the shitty blank space between buttons

frodo getting criticized for decades for not doing much / not being a hero compared to sam is fitting when you consider mental health and strength is often trivialized. frodo carried the most dangerous and insidious item in middle earth for YEARS. ancient beings (elves, gandalf, etc) were taunted and tempted by it. boromir was corrupted within weeks without even touching it. men and hobbits turned against their brethren for it. killed for it. and frodo, with a wound from a morgul knife, bore it’s weight when no one else could. had it been anyone else, middle earth would have fallen.

no, he couldn’t have done it without his samwise. but isn’t that a lesson in itself?

i really need to shake some people and say “being passive in every situation does not mean you are not making active choices and it does not absolve you from harming others. consistently choosing to do nothing in every situation and believing that you couldn’t have possibly been the problem because you chose inaction and not a more agressive approach can in fact also be harmful.” because this keeps happening and its driving me nuts

Muzzle in the peanut butter type behavior. Is chloroform expensive? I feel like Susie would run into bottles of ancient, dubious medicines that will probably kill you.

I've gotten a lot better at drawing boss monsters since starting this project.

Who wants to help Cards Against Humanity f*** with Elon Musk?

We got Musk off our land. Let's build a monument to remind him he's a sad little b**** with no friends.

Qifrey: No, leave me here...or wipe my memory...as long as I'm happy this is inevitable...

Olruggio, with almost zero hesitation: okay so I've invented your own personal torment nexus to make sure you're never truly happy again. It involves putting myself on the chopping block and giving you an intense guilt complex about it but that's what makes it so effective. See you're already crying and having a breakdown, I am so so smart.

[i-am-snowils-admiral]

Like Olly you weren't wrong about the solution but do we need to talk about how quickly you came up with the "how to make my friend suffer forever and ever" plan.

[vaguely-concerned]

I do admire that olruggio knew himself well enough by the age of like thirteen to base his whole plan on his own capacity to be down just so catastrophically horrifically bad for decades and decades without disruption or deviation or distraction with no resolution in sight. and he was right

it's cool how in the 6 years since this tweet was written it's become significantly less useful not because anything has gotten better but because the majority of products on Amazon are now from fly-by-night brands called "ZZPORK" and "GLUM4PANT"

Emos & scene kids got this close to abolishing gender for real. I try not to think about it too much.

[shamebats]

The idea of a popular teenage subculture where girl & boys pretty much all dress the same feels impossible now but for a while it was reality and it was beautiful.
