Tolkien Tolkien Tolkien Tolkien i'm begging of you please don't kill my man

His beauty is beyond compare His stature tall, and long his hair Like every other man you wrote has been I know the more you speak his praise The fewer his remaining days How easily you break my heart, Tolkien

I think this song is made of lies Your fave's your fave because he dies Or 'cause his pain gets worse in every scene. If what it took to make us care Was fairness, wisdom and great hair We'd all be on here stanning Finarfin.

What slander found within these notes! I stan Finarfin, love him totes But in the text he largely stays unseen He lost his sons, his daughter banned He suffered plenty at Jirt's hand Death isn't the worst fate cast by Tolkien But Elrond and Finarfin show What we all here already know The chance of getting out alive is lean How many more were slain and lost Their tales compel, but there's a cost My love is true, it belongs to Tolkien Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien i'm begging of you please don't kill my man Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien An Andreth, Turin, Finrod, Beleg fan

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone FROM YOUR BODY chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

If this changes your answer at all, your pelvis is actually six bones (pubis, ischium, and illium on each side). Your skull is actually 29 bones, counting the inner ear bones. Losing any one of them is... probably survivable. Losing any of the big cranial bones (parietal, occipital, frontal, sphenoid) is probably Not Great and losing the mandible or hyoid would also be Bad, but like. The left malleus? You're now deaf in one ear. This is not fatal.

Aren't most of those fused by the time you're an adult, though? So is the fae taking one bone (counting each part of the fusion separately) or one bone (all fused parts are counted as one bone)?

If you cannot pedantically loophole the fae then who can you pedantically loophole

Anyway the bones of the skull are fused in that they have very strong static joints but they're still distinct bones. The pelvic bones have all blended together, though

I asked my friends on Discord if they used "psipsipsi" or "swswsw" when they are trying to call kitties, and I got a wide array of answers and it got me wondering--

How do you

Thank you to @space-glitter-gay, @frogs-under-logs, @justoneofthosebibliophiles, and Virginia for the blessing and the other options!

And to thank you for your answer, here's a photo of our adopted kitten:

The whole “how the hell does this predatory creature get enough sustenance” thing that plagues fantasy and sci-fi occasionally gets so absurd it loops around into being funny, like the scene in Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon is flying through an asteroid field and gets swallowed by a worm.

I could complain about that, but I could also conclude that the supply of reckless space pilots flying into asteroid fields has been consistent enough for the past few million years for animals to evolve to prey upon them.

Who knows. Maybe there are enough adventuring parties roaming about the Forest of Doom to increase the available biomass at their trophic level in order to sustain tertiary consumers like giant spiderwolves...

“You’re going into the Catacombs? No one survives the Catacombs! Many an adventurer has tried!”

“Uh, how many have tried?”

“Enough to form an entire ecological niche for species specialized to prey upon them!”

“Oh. That, uhh, that is a lot.”

“Right? It’s pretty fascinating actually. I’m writing my thesis on it right now.”

Hey guys! So things have gotten . . . hairy, I suppose. In like, a fun financial sort of way. So, I'd like to draw your attention to my commission page on my Ko-fi. I've got two specials running at the moment, and I'm looking at opening up some PNGtiber Plus commissions. I have a goal of 200 USD, which is just enough to take some weight off my shoulders. Even just sharing this would be a big help!

Here are some examples of my work! There's also a whole gallery on my Ko-fi!

I don’t know why, but reading “oil on saltine” just sent me

i think one of the funniest parts to me about the whole "ed greenwood made drow dommy mommies" thing is like

The tumblr code originated on July 2, 2012.

You can check when you signed up for tumblr by looking at this post.

bonus:

sorry but i simply cannot take anyone seriously with this argument. being horny is not a crime. acting inappropriately toward another person is a different thing from simply perceiving them in a way that scratches your brain. but you cannot make sexual thought crimes (thot crimes) a thing without it leading down an EXTREMELY homophobic, transphobic path of "the WRONG type of person PERCEIVED ME and I DID NOT CONSENT TO IT." sometimes you will be perceived by people you personally are not attracted to, and i'm sorry, but that alone is not a problem. you do not need consent to find another person attractive. being horny is fine, actually. get over it.

WHAT A DREAM

Finally, some good fucking interior design

@shrimpsisbugs

you know the economy is in shambles when all of us are looking at a moderately spacious single bedroom apartment like a Bolshevik at the Romanov imperial palace

This sofa costs about three times as much as my car did.

Two bar stools are about five thousand dollars. So I don't think it's *just* about the moderately roomy apartment.

Lae’zel is killing me because she’s like such a freak in so many ways and like we literally beat the shit out of each other and she’s so fucking into it and horny about it and I can push her down in the middle of camp after and just make out with her in the mud and blood from our fight in the middle of camp, and she is like soooo into it

But I ask her to just kiss me in public and she’s like “no I’m shy” and immediately turns into this 🥺

I love her
