Tolkien dug deep into Nordic mythos in his world building. In many ways these very Scandinavian works are more on point to his sources. The roots of Tolkien's world with the English romanticism removed.

I promised more Scandinavian artists. Tove Jansson from Finland. These are her illustrations for the Swedish edition of the Hobbit from 1962. I love these so much. And yes, these are very different from our modern renderings of Tolkien's work.

It's funny that I was told by someone I used to care about that I didn't practice enough yet here I am, a solid week after surgery, still practicing piano

Very interesting.

Since this Samuel no longer has any Bluesky team references and has changed his handle to end w/ ".fm"

Also no longer a verified account.

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

The feeling I am feeling is really:

"Wait... am I a boss fight?"

a former friend often thought I was 'faking' this experience as a fighting gamer because I refused to participate in streams and I dont play in E-sports anymore. It's nice to avert that impostor syndrome

hurting cis gays fighting game pride and getting more people into the bar for drinks is what I live for

I texted the bartender and told him that I could arrive next week since I am still in surgery recovery. He offered me 100$ to come next week cause apparently over 10+ people were asking to fight me 😂 I am becoming an actual legend over there.

I love playing fighting games. I know I am not the best but I love trying to be. I dont get upset when I lose. I only want to play again and again.

I dont play to traditional metas. I focus on pattern recognition and punishing players for spamming the same moves as they attempt to air juggle.

I love translating Swedish media to English via subtitles and I would love to do it in games but Swedish as an option disappeared with the PS3.

His basement room full of seized drugs and cash that he refuses to use or sell because it's blood money or giving it to the cops cause they're corrupt was such a fantastic autistic moment

I sometimes see moots reskeet this scumbag and while he can joust with republicans, behind closed doors, he agrees with them.

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."
