The Ring: If I had a quarter for every time a hobbit picked me up, I’d have two quarters. The Ring: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Of all the bearers of Sauron’s ring, 4 of them were hobbits.
I was wrong. It’s 5. Not 4
The lineage of ring bearers is as follows.
- Sauron.
- Isildur
- Deagol
- Sméagol
- Bilbo
- Frodo
- Samwise
I love how Deagol counts as a ring bearer even though he had it in his possession for all of like five seconds
He held it for the rest of of his life!
[Image description: Tweet by @banalplay saying “but something happened then that the ring did not intend. it was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a hobbit, the same fuckin thing that just had it for like 500 years.” End Image Description.] Link to original here. Otherwise reblogging for the final rb there, which made me cackle.
From the ring’s perspective:
1. Home, the finger of my creator and other self.
2. Well, I don’t like it but I can work with this. Cause some trouble, get some revenge, find my way home, this is fine.
3. What the fuck is you?
4. Right personality, wrong species, I don’t know what you are but I hate you and I don’t know why you’re so resistant to my powers.
5. NO NO NO there are goblins everywhere how did I find another one of THESE horrible things. This one’s even more resistant than the last one and also disgustingly nice. I suffer.
6. Listen, I’ll cooperate, just get me the fuck out of this hellhole full of small cheerful people my power doesn’t work on properly. No, not like that. I hate you. Please stop.
7. FUCK
8. (Frodo again) I still hate you with every molecule of my mortal form but at least you’re not number seven. Think I’m starting to get through finally.
9. (Smeagol again) YES it’s you I actually missed you now get me back to the Master and NO FUCK NO I HATE YOOOOUUUUU…. *fzt*

Piers Morgan doesn't understand that actors are different from the characters they portray onscreen
Implicit storytelling in two tweets:
Yeah. They did that. I bet the ‘clarification’ came as a result of some strong legal threats.
So be aware in the coming weeks that if your favorite actor reportedly says something shitty about the strike that makes your blood boil? Check the sources. There’s going to be a lot of uh, spin in the news.

Tip for people using duolingo:
There is a website called duome.eu! On it you can see fun stats about your profile and progress, or even other people's profile and progress! But that is not the point of this post.
On duome, you can see the tips and notes for all courses.
Yes, you heard me right! All tips and notes, all courses! Here's a screenshot with the english and spanish lists, for example:
Why does this matter? Aren't tips and notes useless for most languages???
A: no they are not!
Hypothetical question above is probably from someone who never knew these existed before. See, before duolingo's most recent redesign, you could see (at least on desktop/web) tips and notes on the skill you were working on! These are those!!!! Here's an example with verb aspects from the ukrainian course (with a picture of my cat to squish it down):
So that's it! That's my knowledge imparted on you all!
Remember: the website is duome.eu! Look at it for tips & notes!!!

Katsoin Areenasta Mika Waltarin kirjaan pohjautuvan Noita palaa elämään (1952). Nykystandardein aika kökkö kauhuelokuva, mutta ainakin tämä kohtaus oli hauska 😄
