I had seen that pic of ur cute smiles before , but not that beautiful dog! :O

she was the most beautiful dog! she was an extraordinarily stubborn sheltie who whenever we took her to the beach, would run up and down its length importantly barking at the waves convinced that her Mad Herding Dog Skillz was the only thing keeping the waves from flooding out indefinitely, and would often affect a snooty unconcerned air apparently to try to make us thing she wasn’t interested even though she was wagging her tail really hard, and would sneeze like 15 times in a row when she got rly excited…..she was Good…. 😦

Ain’t that the truth; it’s like trying to run a functioning government after years of misrule. The whole bureaucracy is messed up; there are whole departments that haven’t even gotten the memo.

oh shit I’m so sorry that sounds utterly debilitating

Not debilitating thank god but really REALLY disruptive because the pains are so completely random and unconnected to anything you do or any direction you move or anything else that allows you to get used to an injury-related pain -_-

Oh fuck I got shingles when I was 22 and it was one if the worst things that’s ever happened to me I’m so fucking sorry shingles is the worst :(((

replied to your post “From your personal experience what seems to be the worst fandom ever?”

I was going to say that I’ve been in worse ones, but then I remember just how many people I have blocked.

I’ve been in ones i disliked more, but the sheer breadth and depth of whatthefuckery in New Star Wars fandom is headspinning, and I’ve been in a lot of fandoms in the past 11 years

replied to your post “Do fans have some sort of hivemind theory I’m oblivious to that tells…”

I know you’re talking about this for multiple characters but also we all know which character you’re PARTICULARLY talking about

Ok you are DEFINITELY RIGHT but also i was thinking a lot about the baffling Faramir thing

actualmermaid
replied to your post “Do fans have some sort of hivemind theory I’m oblivious to that tells…”

“Opened a book once” = BOOK NERD. “Mentioned next to a flower once” = AVID GARDENER. “Was sad once” = ALWAYS SAD ALL THE TIME.

But it’s so much MORE befuddling when there’s like 28 major explicit canon scenes/descriptions/details/contextual dynamics that are THE EXACT OPPOSITE of that and like 1 ambiguous thing that might have been a dubious detail in support of that characterization IF AND ONLY IF they were a character with no other distinguishing features whatsoever. Also i’ve gotta say this fetish for this 1 specific type of character – the super insecure people-pleasing doormat stuttery….thing – is imo something that goes far above and beyond the generalized sledgehammery fanon thing.

Ambiverts(people who’s affiliation shifts based on context) are the VAST majority of us! Stop using labels and self identification to limit your potential!

THIS IS VERY TRUE, thank you!!!! actually I think i would be much more accurate in describing myself this way more than pure introvert (tho def leaning more towards the introvert side).

God i’m so weak to steampunky industrial numenor……industrial stuff is just as good an aesthetic for fantasy dystopia as yk….all the other ones that appear in fantasy imagery stuff. and especially fitting for tolkien given the immensely long timescale/overturn of eras and generations, and the sheer number of wildly different nightmare-lands in the legendarium.

I always read it as a volcano – that’d explain the cone shape as well as the sudden coming-into-existence and equally sudden and eruptive end of Númenor… XD

that WOULD make sense but otoh too straightforward! why not choose a theory that raises more questions than it answers….that’s how it works right……

earendil is a noldo savugsdnjisd, also seconding star spray (i feel like……………i read a fic once…… idk tho………), also, the ocean? ouch, also: big yes

omg i suddenly very badly want your thoughts on how meeting ar-pharazon would go

i sort of started vaguely outlining a mini-fic about it actually but mostly i figure….multi-stage debate built on a ton of future events that pharazon never imagined or could have foreseen….sort of like, on some level, he was also vaguely apologized to on behalf of his ancestors who didn’t get enough of an explanation – i.e., centered around that quote from the Akallabeth: 

“The love of Arda was set in your hearts by Ilúvatar, and he does not plant to no purpose. Nonetheless, many ages of Men unborn may pass ere that purpose is made known; and to you it will be revealed and not to the Valar.”

and kind of like…..ok, compromise, you can be in suspended animation so that you can still be alive and in the world when what answers you seek will be revealed to Men….and get to meet the ancestors whom you hold up as proof of your deserving to see aman…..etc

21) Their fondest childhood memory

Oh god unfortunately it’s the first time her dad said she was big enough to climb all the way up, and took her up to the top of the Meneltarma, alone and early in the morning, and just sitting in silence and looking down at the island of numenor. So high she could understand it as an island, a land, not just the tense groups of people and customs who lived in the imposing cities on it, and so high all the people and cities and huge looming stone buildings seemed very far off, and precious and small and unified.
