Actually. It’s Very Important That S8 Has A Tea Party Episode. I Want To See Buck And Chimney Crammed

one of my very favorite obscure story tropes is when there’s an episode/plotline/tabletop campaign session where the conceit is ‘each member of the gang gets trapped in a specially tailored dream/nightmare/illusory mindscape and has to break out’

This blog is NOT a safe place for

If you want to learn and grow, you are welcome here, but if you are just going to spit hate at us then get fucked.

Hello, JSTOR!

Would you have any collections of fairy tales and folktales? Or articles about their origins?

Here's a search we ran for open access fairy tale content, and another for open access folktale content 🧌

One of the funny things about LotR is that almost every people in it professes to disbelieve in the supernatural, but because they live in a fantasy world their baseline for "natural" is so jacked up. The Rohirrim are like, yeah, there's a wizard in this tower and ancient tradition that we have no reason to doubt says this mountain is full of ghosts, but walking trees? Short people? I don't think so. Galadriel is like, "Listen I heard you describe what I do as magic and look I just gotta clear some things up, okay." Gondorians are like, yeah, of course the Enemy has spectres of men who lived long ago and never died and can now fly above us and incapacitate us with just their voices. This is just a fact of life, okay? But shut up about this magic weed that makes comatose people better. That's an old wives' tale. Royalty? Press X to doubt.

The people group in Tolkien's work who seem most receptive to magic and least restricted by their own notions of what it can do actually seem to be the hobbits. And they use it to avoid meeting people they don't want to talk to

actually i think graduates of a university should have access to the library databases forever and ever amen

I got angry about the MCU again (hence the repost spiral)
