The same thing happened when Airbnb started as “you got a spare room? why not rent it out to a visitor for a few nights? you get some extra cash and they get a nice place to stay while they visit the city” and it immediately turned into “I’m gonna buy up every available unit in this condo building downtown and rent them out short term, contributing to massive rent increases, severe housing shortages, loud inconsiderate assholes treating places where people are supposed to live like cheap no-restriction hotels, and then bitch and moan when Airbnb gets banned from my building before just continuing on anyway”

I was wondering if orcs have a patron god and yeah, duh, it’s Melkor, but think about the ecstasy of that situation. You’re working directly for the big man himself—hell, you might even see him around the fortress! Your earthly paradise is just a few years away, and you, personally, bring it closer with every slop bucket you carry.

And there’s not even any uncertainty about it! The Divine Revelation is passed directly down the chain of command, so you can be sure you’re always doing the righteous thing.

What Would Melkor Do? Go fuckin’ ask him!

I’m sorry but the tag:

“I may have just discovered the appeal of a cult”

cracks me up.

There is a strange dichotomy in learning the sword. It is at once noble and incredibly base and vile. The best and worst in humanity, united and conflicted.

The sword is the worst of humanity. It is a tool designed solely for the purpose of destroying human life. The edge is too fine for utility, too long for craft, and too short to be useful for the hunting of game. The first sword ever crafted marked a turning point; that it was an effective use of hard won resources to craft something only useful for killing other humans.

 The sword is the best of humanity. Ingenuity and creativity coming together. Harnessing all four elements, earth, air, fire, and water, to create a sidearm well suited to attack and defense, yet convenient enough to carry by your side.

Swordplay is humanity at it’s worst. It is an art dedicated solely to the destruction of the human body. It is the most efficient means of parting flesh, tendon, and bone to the end of separating the immortal soul from the all too frail body. It is cruel, ruthless, and brutal. 

Swordplay is humanity at it’s absolute best. It is the passionate science. A small person can best a giant and a weak person can best a titan through careful application of the rules of distance, measure, and timing. It is an exultation in all that the human body can accomplish.   

It is a lump of metal and it is art.

It is a riot of violence and it is a dance.

It is ugly and vicious and horrible.

It is beautiful and glorious and magnificent.  

It is art and science joined in one.

The fact remains, any day with a sword in your hand is a good day. 

“To train with the sword, first master sweeping. When you have mastered sweeping, you must master the way of drawing water. Once you have learned how to draw water, you must split wood. Once you have split wood, you must learn the arts of finding the fine herbs in the forest, the arts of writing, the arts of paper making, and poetry writing. You must become familiar with the awl and the pen in equal measure. When you have mastered all these things you must master building a house.” 

“Once your house is built, you have no further need for a sword, since it is an ugly piece of metal and its adherents idiots”

the dopest thing about horses is that they’re basically grass engines

like, grass goes in, fast comes out

most things that produce fast (like cheetahs, and cars) use much more heavily processed grass, like horses, and oil

and yet here horses are, producing The Fast with only The Grass

i made this post over a year ago and somehow in the past four hours or so it got 1,300 notes?

this is a finely aged shitpost, over a year old, sealed in an oaken barrel to give it the optimal flavour.

With the success of a hip-hop musical about Hamilton, they should make more musicals progressing forward in American history but with musical genres moving back in time until we get a musical about Barack Obama with 18th-century music. Baroque Obama.
