Another Easter behind us! I hope you had yours peaceful and joyful, no matter the form in which you celebrate it... 🤗

🐣BUT DID YOU KNOW...?🐣 On Easter Monday, after the mrskut part of the holiday, gents get reward for their efforts in form of decorative ribbons? And like there's a flower language, there's a ribbon language as well, where each color has its secret meaning: red is attraction, yellow is refusal, green is sympathy and blue hope. And orange means...

... THAT YOU'VE BEEN APRIL-FOOLED!!! HAHAAA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Veselé Velikonoce (the custom is real)🥚💖!!!

(Also you may know this girlie from last time! She was kind enough to help me out again 😅)

People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter

aragorn's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week:

the fellowship breaks on his watch

forced to choose who to follow

runs over 200 kilometers in under four days

thinks merry and pippin are dead

meets the reborn gandalf (a rare win), immediately has to do a 180 and ride to edoras

immediately after that needs to ride to battle

takes part in a battle which takes place over the whole night

gets maybe 20 hours of sleep over the course of the whole week

and, I cannot stress this enough, this is all still very far from over

you know what i hate the argument of "who was the real hero in lotr". you are missing the point. none of it could've happened, sauron and his armies could not have been defeated and the ring could not have been destroyed if there was one singular hero. it's about teamwork, it's about friendship, it's about- get this- fellowship

I know people like to say that the reason Pippin was overly familiar with Denethor was just because of a difference in dialect, but personally I like to think that when Pippin heard ‘Steward of Gondor’ he went, “oh, like the Thain of the Shire” and proceeded to talk to him the way he’d talk to the Thain—which is to say, politely, but like an equal

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.
