I suppose it’s a testament to Tolkien’s economy of language that the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy – interminable preamble and endless appendices and all – has a smaller total page count than the individual books of your average modern doorstopper fantasy series, yet manages to pack in such a high density of worldbuilding detail that reading it feels like it takes about a thousand years.

(For those expressing incredulity at the idea of Tolkien being an economical storyteller, one must understand that the ability to communicate a great deal of information very efficiently is a totally separate skill from the ability to get to the damn point.)

The day I found out the Twilight series has a higher word count (587,246 words across four books) than LotR (481,103 words across three books) was a dark day.

it's sad to see people who clearly crave religion so badly but look for spiritual fulfillment in literally anything else. that hole you keep trying to fill with self affirmations and good vibes is going to sit like an open wound until you actually let God into it

the only thing I love more than skipping ads is skipping ads that told me not to

reverse psychology doesn't work against people with pure disdain for you

Be the reason why people still believe in good hearts, good vibes, and kind souls

printers are inherently malicious creatures. i have never met a printer that does not on some level want to make everyone’s lives miserable. they are full of ink and malice

A murder mystery where every character believes themselves to be responsible for the death, and tries their best to cover it up.

The real kicker is that the guy died from natural causes.
