I feel like Bilbo would teach the elves of Rivendell the concept of a mathom with the express purpose of oh so politely asking them over dinner how were the Silmarils not a mathom

Random Feanorian elf inherited by Elrond: That's not... No.

Bilbo: Oh so they were useful?

Elf: Well. No, not exactly

Bilbo: But the owners didn't want to throw them away.

Elf: Yeah

Bilbo: And they were in possession of several people over the course of years.

Elf: Yeah

Bilbo: That's a mathom.

Elf: No! We loved them because were very pretty!!! And one of a kind!!! Crafted by hands more skilled than any of ours!!!

Bilbo: Yes, like my great aunt's set of painted dishcloths

Elf, in tears: The Silmarils were not like your great aunt's set of painted dishcloths

Bilbo: How's The Great Mathom War as a title for a poem about the First Age?

By the way, it's important to me that Elrond supports Bilbo's claim and finds it quite insightful actually

@southfarthing I almost spit my latte all over my dog laughing at this tag. This would be hilarious.

But what are the broader theological implications of that episode of Xena: Warrior Princess where they die and go to Heaven and become angels and then Xena goes to Hell and takes it over and becomes the new Devil. What would this mean for the church.

I'm not kidding btw but don't worry they get better

Hi Natalie! Theologian here. What the fuck are you talking about?

It's like people just forget about important theological moments, like Xena and Gabrielle being crucified and going to Heaven where they fight Callisto, who has become a demon.

Hi Devin. Theologian here again. Your actions are of the Devil.

Hi Devin. OP here. You're doing amazing.

I thought Gabrielle was the one who fell tonhell, or was that a different instance of them dying?

Gabrielle got dragged to Hell (like in that movie) and Xena went to Heaven and became an angel so Xena went to Hell to bring Gabrielle back so Gabrielle got to become an angel but Xena gave up her place in Heaven and became the new Satan. So it was the same instance of them dying but just a lot of stuff happened.

Don't forget they also intervened in the sacrifice of Issac because I think a bad guy was setting Abraham up?

Yeah the bad guy was Ishmael like standing behind a tree with a megaphone. They also met David and Goliath and we found out Xena and Goliath used to be best buds.

Reblogging things I like feels a lot more goblinesque than upvoting ever did. The upvotes felt like "hmm yes, I approve *golf claps*" while reblogging feels like furtively staring at something before shoving it in your mouth and scurrying back underneath the nearest piece of furniture.

Which isn't to say that I don't like it. But I definitely find myself going "maybe I shouldn't reblog this because I've already reblogged a bunch of things today and I don't want to look like I don't have a life," I say as I close the app and reopen it like one of those little automatic box toys with the switches.

i should just start dragon posting

reblog this post to add a pearl onto my hoard, gao gao~ ฅ( ÒωÓ )ฅ

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
