Boromir. Right before the arrows start flying. We would just sit at a bar drinking after I’d calmed him down, and we’d read how the hobbits got taken by Orcs anyway and that Sam and Frodo are pretty much doing their own thing.
(We would also have the “Seen Been”/ “Shaun Bonn” discussion, time permitting)
Skip ahead to the last book where the King Steward of Gondor sits on the throne, and then I’ll pat Boromir encourangingly on the back, and shove him back into the book so he can connect with his dad again.
I also might throw in some AK-47s for that last battle in the last book, but depends how much I’ve been drinking honesty
Oh. Well, still Boromir before the arrows. At that point he’s basically written out of the story anyway.
I can find him work petitioning the Tolkien estate to include firearms in their final battle, which they will likely refuse because they are dicks. I guess he could go on celebrity panel shows, but I don’t think he’d be that funny.
Pulling him out of the book really might do more harm than good. He died with courage. Now he just mysteriously vanished when he was needed the most. Probably the King Steward of Rohan would be suspicious on his son’s disappearance, and would reject any plea for aid fr the Fellowship. Might doom the story.
Hello. Let’s talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I’ve been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it’s definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where...
I eat two massive meals per day, regularly walk stairs but not often, sleep at least until I hear something, go outside begrudgingly, wash my skin with a shower, and brush my beard every other day if I remember
It is crazy that. For time immemorial we used to transmit information from our mouths or using hand signals, and receive that information through eyes and ears, all in realtime.
(side thought: how awesome would it be if we had a single organ for both? e.g. communication solely through blinking)
Then suddenly we have this system where someone can code meaning onto a sheet, and we can receive entire contexts from a glance alone, purely at our leisure. Nuts.
Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I'm going to do anything with it.
I go to my uncle’s house, and ask him “how long have you had <point>?” and if he says, “oh this old thing? I’ve had it since before you were-” then I ignore it.
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be?
