Frodo: *stabbed by an immortal blade*
The Hobbits: What do we do Mr. Strider
The Hobbits: *looking to this big scary mountain man so intimidating and mysterious they don’t even know his real name*
Aragorn, truly just some guy at heart: I’m gonna call my dad
Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny
A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language.
another hilarious example:
my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is
to the uneducated it may seem like hobbits are the only funny bitches, and gandalf just picked it up from them.
to the learned, it is known that gandalf is the first ever funny bitch, and he has taught generations of hobbits every petty snark they’ve ever known because theyre the only motherfuckers who can keep up with him
Canonically Gandalf is fascinated with Feanor and wishes to have met him, and it’s entirely because he knows Feanor was also a petty bitch and they would have had a rip-snorting time alternating between deep philosophical statements and high caliber roasts.
Or himself!

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
Is this a threat?
Oh I love that George and Vicky Bruner (cited bottom left) opened their wallets to give everyone this.

You ever think about ancient inventions that may no longer actively be used, but which were so geniously designed that technically speaking, they still work?
Consider that old historical monk haircut. The tonsure looks like that on purpose, to keep them humble and away from temptations of sin. And it still works exactly as intended. Do you guys have any idea how much gay porn there would be of medieval monastery dudes knowing each other biblically if their haircuts were not so unfathomably unsexy.
boy, I dunno what I expected after the first paragraph, but it wasn't what I got
sorry i was so weird but you invoked a topic i am incapable of being normal about
tbh incredibly unfair of you to leave this in the tags when it made me squawk like a duck
being critical of academia because it’s heavily hierarchical and systemically racist, and saying that individuals within academia are in no way more qualified to discuss academic subjects than non-academics are two completely different things. sjcjdjahe i swear some people think that to get a history degree you just read like. commercial biographies and watch hamilton. idk how to tell you all this but tiktok doesn’t have a peer review process
