another way to chase infinity

I hope JJ Abrams opens that present someday and what's inside sucks. Just an absolutely awful gift. I hope it was something perishable that went bad years ago.

honestly discord removing the four digit id code at the end of usernames still remains as one of the most baffling things any site has done with their usernames. not having to have every user find a unique name for themselves seems like such a logical thing to allow with how big many sites are, and discord had the system in place since the beginning. but apparently that's too confusing and making the entire userbase select a new name is in fact the best solution. insane behavior

and the worst part is that technically they didn't even get rid of the 4-digit identifiers. if you have an old enough installation of discord you can see that they literally just changed everyone's tag to 0000. i wish i was making this up.

if we can set aside attachment discourse for a moment (please) i think the jedi marriage prohibition makes sense in a “please don’t enter a complex legal, financial, social, and in some cases religious contract, the specifics of which vary wildly depending on planet and culture” way. the single jedi with a law degree does not have time to draft everyone’s prenups to prevent the whole order from getting sued

And somewhere in there is Din trying to work out how to legally give the darksaber to Bo Katan because he doesn’t want it but she’s trying to work out how to legally steal it and they keep getting in each other’s way. But by the time Bo Katan figures out she could just ask for it Din has realized she is not who he would want in charge and he finally grudgingly leans into the job and of course “I’m doing this just to spite someone I disagree with” is yet another hallmark of a great Manda’lor and his approval rating goes through the roof

I mean, given that Tolkien retconned “The Hobbit” so Bilbo’s little invisibility ring became an ancient piece of jewelry that controls minds and drives the mighty mad, one can at least understand why it seems plausible that the other shiny white gem that destroys empires and makes the mighty go mad with greed could be linked from his kid’s book to his gigantic early mythology in retrospect??

@shewhodoesnotexist what says you? :P

Sting may or may not be Angrist, the knife that Beren used to get the Silmarill off of Morgoth’s crown

“Average Hobbit finds at least one world war inspiring artifact when on a journey” statistic inaccurate. The Spiders Took Family, who find a world war inspiring artifact every five feet they step outside the Shire, were outliers and should not have been counted.

I propose the alternative theory, Sting is the dagger with which Glorfindel offed the Balrog

may I suggest: Sting is the knife Maeglin tried to stab Earendil with, and the mithril coat is Earendil’s baby armor

Gonna remember "buddy that's not the character that's your OC committing identity fraud."

Organised crime? Nah girl I'm into disorganised crime. If a goon doesn't have ADHD they aren't getting hired

Cops can't stop us if they don't know what we're doing, and they can't find out if we have no idea either

Minions stop this post from reaching 1k

On it, boss! Gettin' this post to 10k, just like you said!
