New tolkien quote of the day everyday five(ish) days of the week
i RS a lot of mutual aid posts some nsfw🔞
Pinned
One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy

and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”

will not get over that the people that backed biden right up until the end were most of the squad, handful of progressives, motherfucking joe manchin, and like half the cbc, and they were also the ones quickest to back harris instead of doing an insane primary
plus, the left has shown much better "party loyalty" and harm-reduction instincts in the actual voting booth than the center has. PUMA democrats bail to support the right when a more progressive candidate is on the ballot far more than leftists do when the usual centrist is.

They're gonna try to make the Coast Guard act Greek and Italian.

And it is going to destroy that organization.

idk what the construction time for ie desalination plants and piping it in from the caspian sea is but it's probably almost an order of magnitude if not more than they have at this point

you either get evil lust like melkor with luthien or eol or you get hinted at sexual violence.

probably the horniest tolkien ever accidentally gets is when he's describing the eye of sauron
February 12, 2026 at 4:46 AM
everyone in the legendarium is chaste except the sex pests is i think an accurate description
It's important that I get a large sample size of answers to this:

Is Gandalf horny? Chaste? Somewhere in between?

we worship the fire of the gods, not stolen by prometheus but crafted with our hands
We stole the sun from the sky

To power the Machines of our invention

And spite the Gods that abandoned us
