Learning about Robert e Lee and stonewall Jackson in class today and them dudes lookin a little gay
Teacher talking about how people would make PLATES with them hanging out on them, like girl c'mon.
Definitely not true, but the musings in usa history go a lil wild.
Isildur is Elrond's, like, a gazillion times great nephew
Facts to share with new Tolkien Fans who are watching The Rings of Power:
Currently (within the timeline of the show) the earth is flat.
You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.
And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!
So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!
Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.
And I just
I like that.
Should I kill this minor character's mom?
Why I should: good character development, creates conflict with her friend who thinks the people that killed her mom were pretty legit
Why I shouldn't: it will make me have to write MORE, it will create conflict, it was in the original plan but I'm kinda just not feeling it anymore
This came to me after school, yall.
Elrond: so you're just to accept three rings of power---that are shiny---made by Fëanor's grandson, when the three shiny things Fëanor made led to the deaths of thousands of people?????
Gil-Galad, Círdan, and Galadriel, who were all directly affected by Fëanor's Crazy: I mean, come onnnnn. What could POSSIBLY happen??
Elrond: *flashbacks to his dads arguing about some shiny rocks over dinner* ORPHANS AND SUICIDES COULD HAPPEN, THAT'S WHAT
Cause yall. Bro has firsthand experience of what shiny metals/rocks/jewelry does to the brain. His mom, his adopted dads, like the whole shebang. And all these people that Elrond looks up to, and likely sees as close family/friends, are just being stupid!!!! ALL OF THEM lived through the First Age, so there's no reason for this tomfoolery!!
Yes, I know that they were deceived by Annatar, and I know that no one is infallible, but guys!!!! Three objects of power!!! You gotta wonder were we saw that last! 🤔
NOOOOOOOO NOT THE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS!!!!!!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYONE HE THREW THE FUCKING HAMMER?
