Tumblr is unique bc like. It’s collaborative shitposting and you can’t opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous

Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you

yeah or sometimes you’ll see a post that hacks into your brain and forever rewrites your instinctual reaction to seeing a pineapple explode

he got penis blasted

(vía @json-derulo )

either that or the continuing wga strike means that all that unused creativity finally hit critical mass and exploded all over the meatspace narrative

It’s so funny how often on this show Utkarsh is like “I saw all the possibilities and hooks for Bor'Dor to be a better person. I saw it, I looked it in the eye, I acknowledged it, and I ignored it because I wanted to cast Vitriolic Sphere on the party so badly.”

Objectively the funniest thing to come out of twitter’s sinking ship

The best part is that person did donate $8 to Partners in Health, and so I didn’t delete the tweet.

Thank you.

“He’s the Samson of shitty teenage facial hair”

About the 13 year old rogue, who had managed to grow a few stubble whilst spelunking in the underdark, shaved it off once they got back to the surface, and then rolled a natural one on a constitution check going up a long flight of steps and had to be practically dragged up there

[image description: tweet by Netchimen’s Reverie that reads “Tolkien describing places that are evil: no trees grow there” /end description]

This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.

Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):

Here’s Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):

Here’s an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)

So yeah: no trees = evil was Tolkien’s own direct lived experience. It’s precisely why Mordor and the wastelands around it look like they do in his books.

the plateau of gorgoroth, the heartland of mordor, is described as being scarred by countless pits dug by orcs

the true seat of evil is full of foxholes and trenches

There’s a lesson to be learned here.

I hope Tolkien would be happy to learn that a hundred years on, trees grow again here:

From The Atlantic.

I think that Tolkien would be very happy to see that.
