anthropologyarda:

- old. like really old. older than star trek old.

- immortal. existed for over half a century before anybody thought about making movies. will keep existing after people forget them.

- full of nerds. hardcore nerds who do good research. A+

- full of nerds. like actual climatologists and geologists. official nerds who publish in official journals about speculative science in a fantasy world. 

- high chance they will read your fanfic/meta. Tolkien is not an easy read and they probably have the patience/skills to get through your writing easy

- what is canon? we just don’t know

- appreciates my excessive collection of nature photos. Mostly trees and mountains.

- likes shiny things

- does not approve of keeping shiny things. sometimes approves of stealing them

what does “men who adhere to strict gender binary” even mean tho

NO ONE adheres to the gender binary! NO ONE FITS THEIR GENDER ROLE PERFECTLY! THAT’S THE POINT! AARRRGGH! 

NOOOOO OOOOONE…. ADHERES TO THE GENDER BINARY LIKE GASTON!

when I try to hear this in my head my mental voice is incapable of pronouncing it fast enough to fit the timing of the line

“noooo oooone… adjksjfksfjslenry like Gaston!”

and when I try to fit it to one of the longer such lines, my mental voice becomes too confused about conflicting scansion to continue

no one’s droll like gaston
no one’s swole like gaston
no one fits his assigned gender role like gaston

I’m especially fond of the paaaatriaaarchy
My what a guy that gastooon

I swing both ways. Aggressively. With my dagger. To make sure that nobody comes near me.

another pressing skyrim question that doesn’t really matter in the ultimate scheme of things:

when you read a spell tome to learn a spell, it’s destroyed in the process. ok. i get that.

but how? does it self-immolate? does all the writing magically disappear? does the entire book fade into hermaeus mora’s realm, never to be seen again???

inquiring minds want to know

i like how so far three different people have said “you eat it”. i’m pleased that this is apparently a collective explanation we have come up with in the absence of actual lore.
