I'm running a summer camp riding program. Lease stable sent me a fat gelding. We then realized she was a mare. I began being suspicious of her belly and we made jokes she may be pregnant. Soon her udder got really big. I came into work the other day, and this little guy was running around! I'll never doubt myself again- anything is possible!
#17 pretty sure its 17. Maybe more.
It’s weird that Aragorn has a reputation for being a Loner™ when every time the heroes go to a new place they find out Aragorn Has Friends There. If you could theoretically have friends there, then Aragorn Has Friends There
They meet Aragorn in Bree, turns out he’s Friends with Gandalf, then makes Friends with the hobbits, then they arrive at Rivendell and what a twist he’s also Friends with the Rivendell elves! especially Arwen and Elrond! There’s an elf from Mirkwood in their fellowship who was already his Friend, but he also quickly becomes Friends with the dwarf from Ered Luin who hates that elf’s guts. Boromir of Gondor initially WANTS to hate him but within a couple weeks he’s calling Aragorn his brother. The Fellowship arrives at Lorien and oh Aragorn didn’t bring it up but he’s also Good Friends with Galadriel and Haldir and Celeborn and all them too! They travel to Rohan and Aragorn’s like “oh yeah I didn’t mention it before but I’m Friends with the people of Rohan, I knew King Theoden as a kid, and–”. He even makes Friends with his horse
Aragorn tries to befriend everyone, from a 3-foot tall hobbit who’s not yet an adult to an elf-queen-sorceress older than the moon. He doesn’t seem grim/lonely because he’s friendless, he seems grim and lonely because he has so many friends, in so many places, that he’s always missing someone
I got friends in low places....
Two universal constants of high fantasy living:
I’m sorry, sir, if you don’t renovate your summer keep and live in it at least one month out of the year, we’ll have to charge you with Negligent Dungeonization of Property. The old cellar laboratory might have belonged to your uncle, but if you aren’t going to use it, something will.
The players are a squad of government investigators, trying to prevent monsters from claiming new habitat. It’s mainly negotiation but sometimes people have an interest in attracting dangerous entities for their own purposes.
talks machina 97; matthew mercer finally loses faith in humanity
truly impressive how d&d persuades so many people to willingly participate in both math AND improv, two things that most of the population goes out of their way to avoid
i swear there was a generation that had their sexual awakening when aragorn came through those doors. i was one of them
cheers to that babey
This was one of my school textbooks in ninth grade. I took these pictures September 12th, 2013, at 3:06 pm. This post has been more than five years in the making.
Like is an understatement, but ok.
The idea of it ‘making sense later’ rather than being explained in full directly seems too much like a Gandalf move for me not to reblog this

merry and pippin are the type of fake friends who gush about you behind your back but when you talk to them in person they call you a little bitch boy and steal your food
merry and pippin: and THEN he showed us how to do this crazy move to disarm your enemies and it was SO cool because boromir is like the best at everthing and he’s really nice and funny too-
boromir, overhearing this: aw thanks guys!
m&p: …..
merry: Literally didn’t ask
pippin: who the fuck are you
lotr thought for the day: fandom (rightfully) gives legolas shit for being captain obvious in the films, always stating what was already blindingly clear to the rest of his companions, but think about this
what if legolas genuinely thinks the rest of the fellowship is just that dumb
he’s the oldest member of the group (aside from gandalf and let’s be honest the elves have never been quite sure about gandalf; he’s always high on pipeweed and hangs out with halflings and dwarves). he’s an elf. he was brought up surrounded by only other elves. he was raised by thranduil. this is the first time he’s hung out with anyone other than elves for any considerable length of time, and look, he just - he doesn’t know how much their nice harmless mortal brains are picking up, okay? he just wants to make sure everyone’s up to speed. he’s nice like that.
I love socially dumb Legolas
Boromir: I can’t get over how wholesome hobbits are… they’re just such genuinely good and kind people? all of them? they’re so nice and sweet… I think we could all stand to be more like hobbits…
Aragorn, who has on no less than 3 occasions watched hobbits win bar fights in the Prancing Pony by biting their opponents’ balls:
i wanna disconnect from all social media and go herd sheep and sell berries and mushrooms and herbal salves on the side of some mountain road for a living
