I probably should have a more serious pinned post, but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it

I do music, I do art, sometimes I even post it

I use bluesky a bit more as a personal site, so don't expect as much posting as on tumblr

When I was touring the catacombs under Paris my tour guide kept yelling at me because I wouldn’t stop naming all of the skulls and crying when I imagined them as women

thinking of getting into a new band, I don't really care about the music so I'm just looking for whoever's got the most repulsive legal presence and the heaviest focus on brand merchandising, any advice

there's a lot of cases where someone looks at an unpleasant situation being resolved with grace and says "I would've crashed out" to convey gravity without really meaning it, but, speaking for myself, I know I would not have had that grace

not to give bethesda too much credit, but it's really funny that oblivion's lockpicking system is such a passable simulation of how lockpicking works that every other game which ever includes something that simulates that style of lock is going to come off as having oblivion's lockpicking system

people want him so badly to be stubbornly for or against them, but the tone of a lot of his later writing is one of somebody who is receiving readings of his works, often responding to them with "that's an interesting angle I hadn't considered, but I like it! I might think of it that way now"

I am very strongly against trying to read tolkien through the lens of like... a uniquely adversarial shadow upon fantasy, or a uniquely progressive same-kind-of-communist-as-you, because he really was by all signs just some bloke who didn't like being sad and had interests he took delight in

so, realistically, aragorn probably did start doing real politics after he came to power. that kind of thing really would have existed by then. to buzzkill about it, and only because tolkien also seemed to be a bit miserable about this, he probably would have engaged in mundane political cruelties

or in short, when elves and others bound to the song without capacity to steer it are steering history, they tend to drive in a straight line, even when humans are bumping the wheels every now and again, and it takes an era-ending event to fully pass those reins to the humans, so history can exist

while it's true that a lot of people don't know how long a thousand years are, tolkien throwing those enormous numbers up makes sense when you consider that the elves are not only long-lived, but on the whole, fairly comfortable wiling that time away and watching as things move as they do

the speed at which things start Happening as the age of man dawns isn't like... an accident of numbers. things move at the pace of elves for most of history, and as men inherit the earth, it begins to move at the pace of human lives. that's why the ages "quicken"

I appreciate martin's general curiosity towards tolkien's more legend-first disinterest in crown politics, and I think tolkien was also actually starting to feel similarly about his own work in latter years, but it feels ungenerous to take aragorn's reign out of the context of history accelerating

I know I'm the Roguelike Mutual in saying this, but I'm personally fond of the middle ground, where the encounters aren't manually placed, but are constant within their own logical sphere, and so you can see, for example, a group of physically-present battle cats wandering the dungeon halls
