You know what.

HOW ON EARTH DID SCARECROW!FIYERO AND TIN MAN!BOQ'S CONVERSATIONS GO

Boq: "I WON'T STOP UNTIL THE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD"

Fiyero in thought: "I'm gonna tie up this bitch and leave him outside in the rain and once he's rusty enough I will tell him what Glinda really thought of him"

A lot of folks don't like the movie version of As Long Ad You're Mine but like, it works for me? It's the slow build-up and the yearning? Like, I have criticisms for the film but that scene is not one of them

"Would Fran Fine resist the One Ring?" Nah absolutely not, but if she were in Eregion Annatar wouldn't last an hour and it would all start with her thinking he's C.C.'s cousin or something

... you know what, it's great to be proven again and again that I was completely correct about whatever happened behind the scenes with The Rise of Skywalker lmao

"Bruh women have high standards and only want to date guys who look like Jason Momoa" Then explain why Bobby from KPop Demon Hunters is a solid 10

You know I thought Stephenie Meyer would give me a repreive of all current world events to add to me blasting MCR, but then she let me down (no Regurgitate/Jacob book I guess) and then Elizabeth Gilbert rolled in so I could do a double take and go "well her new memoir ain't very Eat Pray Love"

Honestly the hand-wringing over the pipeline of fanfic authors who become published authors is really funny to me. There have been several of them since the early 2000s AT LEAST.

And with this, the First Age part of the story is over. *llama scream* archiveofourown.org/works/597844...

*grabs mic* I think that if they ever make a sequel to KPop Demon Hunters the demons should unionize against Gwi-Ma, NO HEAR ME OUT IN THIS ESSAY I WILL--

Andor makes me almost want to pick up Star Wars again and then I remember the sheer potential of the ST vs the execution and start screaming into the void again

Tl;dr some folks are conservative af when it comes to storytelling but I still don't know if some of you are ready for that convo yet

Ça c'est de l'humour vraiment précis que personne ne va comprendre, mais si j'avais à faire une parodie du Silmarillon en français, les Elfes originaires de la Terre du Milieu (Sindar, Nandor, Avari) parlent tous avec un accent français. Bon, peut-être une petite touche du Sud pour les Avari.

I had a great joke about Hera, but it’s not the prettiest

I had a great joke about Antigone, let me dig it out
I had a great joke about Penelope but I can never seem to get to the end
I had a great Prometheus joke, but the gods punished me for it even though my joke was fire

Chapter 9 is up! One more chapter to go for the First Age, and we're hoping into the show's timeline! (I did not know what I was signing up for back in October lmao)

Chapter 8 is up! Only two left before we finish up the First Age, and then, it's straight into the show's timeline!

Having re-read Fellowship of the Ring recently, the overall impression I got of Galadriel and Celeborn was, to paraphrase C.S. Lewis, "they're good, but they're not safe", along with the heavy atmosphere of them being from a time long gone, and the weirdness of the Golden Wood [1]

Keep it for kids. You can have a series or two that will appeal to an older audience, but keep in mind it's meant for kids 10-14 yrs old, at the end of the day.

Go back to the roots. Look at what inspired George Lucas, the screwball comedies, the Kurosawa films, the swashbuckling adventures [1]
Genuine question - if you were the new head of LucasFilm, what would you do to revitalise the Star Wars franchise?

I'm going to suppose JCB is Glorfindel until proven otherwise, but also, like... oooooh boy is the fighting between the EtL girlies and the musical theatre girlies gonna be nasty
