The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

Y'all can keep at it with that “Romeo and Juliet fell in love in five days how immature” shiz but Macbeth went from no murder to yes murder in like one afternoon and I feel like one of those is a significantly bigger problem than the other

The Two Towers is so funny because Tolkien was such a tree-lover he was basically just like “actually we should give every tree a gun.”

Was chatting to another nurse about the floor I’m on right now, and that nurse said, referring to the charge nurse tonight, “oh yeah, she’s a power hungry monster, she’d be charge nurse every shift if she could.” And then later the nurse said she had only stayed long (a 16 hr shift, can you imagine) because her girlfriend was also working late, and I was like “oh who’s your girlfriend?”
And the nurse said, “it’s the charge nurse.”
And I was like, “the power hungry monster?”
And the nurse was like “yes 🥰🥰”

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.
And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.
The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.
The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

Fish-rice integration is exciting. You harvest both fishes and rice on the same land. Do you like it?

I'm loving Dungeon Meshi's mix of quasi-probable magical biological realism and "It's magic fuck you."
Red dragons swallow their prey whole and use the undigestible remains as fuel for their fire breath, which is lit by creating a spark with their tongue. Living armors are colonies of mollusks who expand and contract to mimic muscle movement. Actually "man-eating" plants is a misnomer, they catch small animals with a filament that retracts when touched and they use their decomposing prey as compost.
These mushrooms can turn you into a gnome. It's magic fuck you.

Mother Heaven sent a Watcher to snoop on the Black Halos but she failed to anticipate Zophiel's persuasion skills.
