what kind of snake is this
A vicious one
no offense but male protagonists whose strength comes from empathy, compassion and humanity will always be more interesting than snarky assholes who punch everything and treat everyone around them like shit
The most revealing note on Sauron’s character, if you ask me, is a single line in the nigh-unobtainable Parma Eldalamberon 17.* (This is, I believe, the same source where we learn his name had been Mairon before his assortment of unsavory epithets.)
maira noun “admirable, excellent, precious”
Consider how Gollum, apparently spontaneously, not just describes but personifies the Ring.
Consider what term everyone who comes into possession of the Ring eventually uses to refer to it.
“It is mine, I tell you. My own. My Precious. Yes, my Precious.”
Consider what must have gone through Gandalf’s mind when he hears Bilbo address the Ring by the long-lost name that his brother-demigod had borne in the morning of the world.
“It has been called that before,” he said, “but not by you.”
*Thanks Tolkien fandom in the internet age!
In writing … remember that the biggest stories are not written about wars, or about politics, or even murders. The biggest stories are written about the things which draw human beings closer together.

Dad kept hiding pine nuts in the pages of this magazine and letting Edgar root around for them.
(Edgar cannot be released to the wild due to an injury. He now works as an ambassador bird and general household nuisance.)
Edgar has added to his vocalizations since I last saw him! He used to only say “oh wow” in a really sarcastic voice and to mimic the trill of a screech owl. Now he also screams “WHAT?!” and mumbles “what a WHOPPER!”
It was hysterically funny discussing politics with him in the room. We’d mention some new scandal and he’d randomly interject with cries of astonishment.
please tell him i love him
this is my fav video now
I watched WITHOUT sound at first and can I just say, big mistake.
What are these?
I have no idea what’s happening here but I’ve been getting these messages from various people. Total 8 messages so far. I kept deleting or reporting them as spam but after looking around some blogs of those people, I came to think that they might not even know if they had sent the messages. I mean, some of them have been following me 3 or 4 years, and still blogging ordinary things.
So is it possible that they’re just being used as spam sender or something like that because of virus or I don’t know, hacking program? What if my account is being used too? I’m quite worried. Anybody experiencing the same thing?
Reblogging for awareness. If anyone gets requests for money (bircoin) from my account, please let me know! I will never ask for money from anyone.
Same, if you receive a message like this one from me, please let me know!!
Who remembers the story about how Death helped save Christmas with the aid of his granddaughter?
Just the kind of thing to come from the imagination of the late great Terry Pratchett and his Discworld book: Hogfather!
Susan Sto Helit, the daughter of Death’s late human apprentice and Death’s adopted daughter, must help grandad Death save Discworld’s Christmas and unravel the mystery of the disappearance of it’s Santa: the Hogfather.
