“Despite how Amazon purports to celebrate Tolkien’s unique vision, their approach noticeably simplifies his creations to appeal to more generic and conservative fantasy aesthetics. The short-haired male elves have lost the elegant androgyny of previous incarnations, and dwarf women are feminized. Galadriel is remarketed as a female warrior archetype. These reductive interpretations may also reveal that Amazon’s real agenda has little to do with passion and everything to do with economics. The company has bet so much on The Rings of Power succeeding not because they care about bringing Tolkien’s work onscreen, but because this could be the popular TV that upturns their controversial reputation and brings an indispensable asset to their growing streaming service. The fact that Amazon has deliberately contorted Tolkien’s work into a “safe” product to be marketing globally should thus raise a question in even the show’s most optimistic supporters: who is The Rings of Power’s true intended audience, if it isn’t the Tolkien fans who have been dreaming of such an adaptation for years, and even decades?”

Mr. J, my deepest apologies, but on many photos you look like a lightly toasted marshmallow and I don’t think I could resist biting you, were our paths to cross.

My era rn is uncategorizable. The the way I am living is unheard of
One of the most life-changing things I ever learned came from Mythbusters, where they tested and proved (with cognitive testing puzzles and reaction time tests) that lying down and resting with the intention to sleep STILL provided significant mental benefits over just staying awake, even if a person couldn’t fall asleep in the amount of time they had.
It helps me to actually sleep to know that just lying down with my eyes closed is still doing me some good, and helps me to not freak out/beat myself up when I stay up later than intended. Any amount of rest is better than no rest!
So if you didn’t know that…now you do
do you know that i think of this post every time i can’t sleep op. what mythbusters did for you, you have done for a great many others.
time can be separated into 2 eras: BTT (Before The Terror) & ATT (After The Terror)
