#Tolkien
Ah yes the part of Peter Jackson’s FotR where, as a rebound relationship from Gandalf, Saruman literally makes himself a new not terribly bright but really muscly boyfriend. #IDidntMakeHimForYou #InJustSevenDays
Time passed in the Shire much as it had before, and incidents of arson and muggings were usually overstated to dissuade the tourists. #Tolkien
uspol, media, narrative, angry
So a lot of people call out the lack of accurate "terrorism" semantics as racist, and yeah, that's *true*, but also;
I feel like our media has decided on which premade narrative to use. This isn't the Scary Outsiders Threatening Us narrative, it's the How Could Such A Nice Normal Person Do This narrative.
What's actually going on now doesn't count, 'cause they've decided to make it the trope someone decided sold best back in the 90s.
Long day, morale’s in the toilet, let’s draw Frazetta knock-off art on the bus! #drawing

@Jssra has had me thinking about eating duck for weeks now and I’m seriously pondering spending money on eating half a duck later.
But I probably need to crank dishes first. And I have to get home. And I kinda want to shave head hair and go image diving for Paul Felix pictures to save for later analysis. And I want to draw, independent of all the art I need to do to learn or for customers. Seriously if I could afford to keep going on part time work I’d do it.
representation, bombing/uspol mention
Especially in light of the bombings in Austin, police murders and the ongoing assault launched by DeVos, I really want more... WYSIWYG? Black representation. Not noble victims, certainly not negative stereotypes, just people who happen to be Black doing whatever interests them. I know how much it sucks to be from people only acknowledged as noble victims, villains, and comic relief; I want a healthier, fairer atmosphere for my friends and fellow netizens.
Hot take;
It’s incredibly human to want to make giant crossover events. The Infinity War, the Argonauts, the Wacky Races, etc.
But actually it isn’t. Herakles/X-Men/Scooby Doo/Judge Dredd/etc are way awesomer largely off on their own doing Herakles/X-Men/Scooby Doo/Judge Dredd stuff with *maybe* also Atalanta/Inhumans/Predators/etc.
Make too much of a big hero rumble and it’s like having too much enchilada sauce on your fried kimchi and potato perogies with extra baba ganouj and cheese.

tonight's anxiety spike is going away, leaving the urge to stay up for half of forever as that's more appealing than anything likely to happen at work later.
A tangled mess of "well, why would I want to make myself sleep and be merely unhappy instead of completely miserable, since it's been demonstrated I can be made completely miserable regardless of starting mood," familiar from my old job.
Of course that I'm actually bone tired pushes things towards eh, go sleep.
@anthracite whoa look at this glorious thing

despite the recognizably 2001ish chunks of comic I've seen reproduced elsewhere, the covers suggest a glorious attempt to recast the movie's Asimovian intellectual coolness.
surf cover of "The Trooper,"
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
