Do you ever think about how Tolkien’s vision of the greatest evil in the universe was something he referred to as “The Machine” which was his way of talking about accelerated industrialism and mass surveillance and he wrote multiple books where the main villains were a dragon who sits on a huge pile of treasure that he never intends to use but incinerates anyone who comes near it, a man in a giant tower who’s wrecking the environment with his factories, and an evil being who uses what’s essentially a listening device to control the citizens of middle earth. And now Amazon is making a Tolkien show. Do you ever think about that.
People asking when we’ll get Star Trek Prodigy season 2…not realizing we still have half of season 1 left with a nebulous “it’ll be back this year!” on when it’ll appear
I’ve seen people wonder why no one talks about it and I don’t think you have to look much deeper than “it had four episodes every few months and then paused for a year with no known return date”
Every year I get angrier and angrier listening to Big Yellow Taxi because yeah, yeah you were absolutely right, Joni Mitchell. They did pave paradise and put up a parking lot. And nothing has changed about that in the last 50 years, Joni Mitchell. It’s still a parking lot. With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot no less. You were right about that. You were absolutely right. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Nailed it. That is true. And I’m frustrated about it.
beating people w a stick that says “hes just some guy” every time they go through idolizing a famous dude and beating people w a second larger stick that says “hes still just some guy” every time enough time passes they subconsciously realize that was annoying and start acting like hes the devil to overcompensate for past cringe
i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once
lycanthropy is the best metaphor for the constant tug between “i’m not monstrous all the time so maybe i’m redeemable” and the cruel reminder that “just because my monstrosity isn’t visible doesn’t mean it’s not there”
