to the person that is commenting about hoping I get ran over for not liking something (never even read the book, but people can also have OPINIONS??).. I hope you can grow the fuck up 😋🤞 teaching people that death threats aren't ok (even over the internet) is taught in ELEMENTARY school. so I'm going to assume you're 8! I hope you grow up to be a better person 😘

real talk why do so many fantasy universes think giant spiders are necessary

The sad part is there’s a decent chance a large proportion of them can be blamed on one spider.

The tarantula that bit JRR Tolkien as a child.

He swore he didn’t have a spider phobia and the experience had nothing to do with the man-eating giant spiders in The Hobbit, the even more giant and even more man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings, or the unholy eldritch spider from outside creation that plunged the world into darkness and made literal Satan scream like a little kid in the Silmarillion. Very few people believe him.

Given LotR’s influence in the fantasy genre, there is a high probability that tarantula is the progenitor of even more fictional spiders than Ungoliant was.

wow fuck that one tarantula

“fantasy universes have too many spiders” factoid actually just statistical error. Georgs Spider, who bit JRR Tolkein & is to blame for menacing over 10,000 fantasy universes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

My hobby is exposing Lance to the possibility of catching a cold. Keith can't be too mad though, because Olaf2 was kind of worth it and it was Keith who proposed the night walk (and he knew the risk).
