sometimes someone will casually mention using chatgpt or some other generative ai thing and I can actually feel the little

One thing I think is wild is how many people attribute Crystals name “Crystal Palace” to being the football club as opposed to… Crystal Palace the famous art exhibit building.
It isn’t unusual to think of seeing as we know her parents are rich art folks that they probably made this as an intentional choice.
before I knew what aromantic was I just kinda. Generally assumed that my experience of not having any romantic attraction to people would mean that in the future, when someone fell in love with me, then I'd just Go Along With It because I mean, hey if they love me and I don't love ANYBODY then it would be rude not to like, NOT date them, right?
I was not the most well adjusted 13 year old, as evidenced by this thought process

People who hate Frodo Baggins are my enemy. "He didn't do anything and was useless"--yeah, okay, so what you're not understanding is that he was the sacrificial lamb. He endured physical, mental, and emotional torment that got worse and worse as his will broke. Everyone knew this. EVERYONE KNEW THIS. That's why everyone was devastated about it. Because Frodo was the most innocent among them, that was the entire point. He represented ordinary peaceful people being destroyed by the horrors of war. And as a hobbit he also represented some of the last vestiges of magic in what was basically a post magic apocalypse.
Frodo was basically an innocent puppy thrown into the Torment Nexus so that EVERYONE ELSE could maybe have a hope of surviving. And he did that willingly. HE DID IT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, KNOWING IT WOULD RUIN HIM.
Frodo haters won't see the light of heaven
Gotta say, when i first started dbd i was totally convinced Charles was just waiting for Edwin to figure it out, there was absolutely no b present in their bromance in the first episode. I had snogged my homies for less than the love sick stare Charles sent Edwin from the other side of their window just saying
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
"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity
Elrond setting an orc on fire for desecrating the lore might be the hottest thing he’s ever done.
