I like seeing videos of Americans getting upset at Scandinavian prisons treating inmates with dignity it’s like lol sorry they got the lower crime rates and recidivism like that is the unambiguous W here

To me, post-Angband Maedhros is alive in a Beric Dondarrion kind of way. Sure, he walks and talks and fights, but the most important parts of his identity died in Angband and now the Oath and the Narrative are dragging his reanimated corpse through the rest of the story because someone has to keep playing the part of Fëanor all the way down to the fiery death with a silmaril in hand

since tolkien hated the beatles so much I like to think that's what melkor sang to piss off the rest of the ainur

illuvatar: and thou, melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite

melkor: I am the eggman. I am the walrus

I was put on this earth to draw niche parallels that make you say “isn’t that a bit of a stretch?” the answer is yes, it is a stretch, but by the grace of God I’m getting more flexible every day

I was teaching kids today and they got fixated on the usual ‘are they dead now?’ question when I was talking about historical figures. So I was just like ‘Yes, they’re dead now, everyone who was alive in the 1800s is dead now.’ and then one kid was like ‘Except for you’.

I’m sorry to hear about your scalp.

Okay I must clear this up more concretely since this has gone far beyond my circle of folks who have the context of Why This Is Actually Funny, because there are thousands of people here who are like ‘kids are so rude, kids are so evil, I hate kids’ when…

1) Kids are little humans and they’re learning and they should be treated as little humans who are learning. Don’t be a dick to kids. Adults who are assholes to kids is such a bad look, and kids remember that shit.

2) This particular child was being SO earnest and ‘except for you’ was said not as an insult but like ‘oh…you’re the last one left 😢’.

I dress like this everyone:
