You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.
Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.
ADHD at night: I could write a book. I could get my Master’s Degree. I could go to the club and come home with 12 new friends. I could get a job at that club and meet the mother of my children. I could cure every disease and use my wealth to bring world peace.
ADHD during the day: Fold laundry too hard :( Come back next week
Now speaking as an Arab born in an Arab country who's grown up hearing about Arab politics my entire life, this is far from a good place to land. The military will almost certainly continue their fascist ways and people will still get killed. No talk of women's rights, no talk of an end to anti-blackness (which was serious enough for a genocide), no talk of restoring the Internet in these negotiations and discussions. This is still an awful situation for the Sudanese people and they are risking their lives, bodies, and mental health for their rights and their children's rights. Please continue donating to their emergency medical aid gofundme. It's been six months and the money still hasn't been fully accumulated to meet their goal.
If you disagree with something I said or have something to add, I would gladly listen if you are Sudanese (particularly Black Sudanese) or come from another Arab and / or African country who's experienced something similar.
Happy International Asexuality Day!! Shoutout to all of my self-shippers on the asexual spectrum!!! 💜✨
People are always hating on Hugo Weaving's Elrond for not being atractive enough or looking too old for an elf but
He pulled off playing a younger, dashing, more physically active version of his character really well in the Hobbit while he was actually like 20 years older LMAO
People can hate on my man Hugo but he was the only one who genuinely looked younger and more handsome somehow, all the others looked visibly older, even Cate who is so beautiful and aged extremely will did look older than in LOTR but he didn't. I need some respect for him
I just KNOWWW Palpatine was missing Thrawn during Andor S2 and Rogue One 🤣🤣🤣 that guy took all the Empire’s braincells to a whole new GALAXY IJBOL

Daily fucking reminder that Luigi Mangione is innocent, completely and fully. He has been convicted of no crime. He has had no fair trial. He is a SUSPECT. Luigi Mangione is entirely innocent and everyone needs to stop parroting this insidious propaganda that he “committed” the crime he is only SUSPECTED of. He is not a murderer. He is not a criminal. He is an innocent man.
