If you had shown me this site in 2005 I would have asked you if had checked your virus software lately, because this looks like a bad one. I would have clicked away so fast it would give you whiplash. Looking at these sites now, I have to convince myself that they aren’t virus laden sites and fight against the pavlovian urge to just navigate away.
I navigate away anyways because fuck them, there’s usually a better site (though they are dwindling quickly). I still can’t get over how the internet “as intended” today looks like a malware ridden fever dream from 20 years ago. This is every story I’ve ever read about an empire that used to be great and has now fallen into turmoil.
Beloveds, there is a wonderful website that gets rid of all that crap<3
I use the goons with spoons wiki since it also has recipes without all the bs that accompanies them online.
Frodo may be Bilbo’s actual adopted nephew, but Merry and Pippin are his
younger cousins, and Sam is his old gardener’s son whose family he
clearly has a soft spot for and who he taught to read and write, and
Gimli is the son of one of his old adventuring friends, and Legolas is,
similarly, the son of the Elvenking who named him an elf-friend, and we
know Aragorn is canonically his friend as well, who he very possibly
could have met as a small child in Rivendell when he passed through, so
really, like 7/9 members of the Fellowship are people he can employ
weird elderly relative (or the honorary equivalent thereof) energy on if
he wants to and I think that’s very powerful.
the fellowship is 7 people who Bilbo Baggins can employ weird elderly relative energy onto PLUS 1 person who can employ weird elderly relative energy onto Bilbo Baggins PLUS Boromir.
