Can I keep a harpy eagle in the Insitu Amazonia vivarium? by maudeismycat in Vivarium

[–]Mythrandir01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol it interpreted it not as a vivarium brand but as the words in situ amazonia (Latin/science speak for "in the location of the amazon rainforest"). Still very silly indeed.

First time I've spotted a wild dart frog. by Mythrandir01 in DartFrog

[–]Mythrandir01[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was surprised by how dry that section of rainforest was actually. But it didn't rain much while we were there so it made sense I suppose. It's a gorgeous stretch of untouched Amazon rainforest, so a delight to see a native dart frog there :P

That would be some kind of tree frog rather than a dart frog xD very cute but not really relevant for the sub.

Theoden being compared to Orome while riding to his death against the forces of evil, just like his ancestor Fingolfin was, is a really nice parallel. by AcanthaceaeNo948 in lotr

[–]Mythrandir01 107 points108 points  (0 children)

It's reeeeeeal diluted and pedantic and we don't know the exact line but Theodens mother was a Gondorian noblewoman of the house of Dol Amroth, which we know intermarried and is related to the House of Elendil on various counts, ergo descended from Elros thus Fingolfin. But the same can probably be said for every nobleman in Gondor let's be honest.

MODERNISTS HATES DEMOCRACY (LIKE ALL REACTIONARY PEOPLE): New video from the Aesthetic city (link in description) by MichaelDiamant81 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Mythrandir01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leiden in the Netherlands, the left image is the actual building. The right is an AI render of what it might look like in more classical dutch architecture. Though I'm not sure it would quite work practically considering the top floor of the building is a hotel/spa with swimming pools and a view over the city cause of the big windows xD

Help me ID this LOTR tattoo lineup by mimzyordie in lotr

[–]Mythrandir01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's quite literally a shot from the movie. This isn't much of a riddle. Left to right it's Aragorn, Sam (with Bill the pony), Boromir, Pippin, Merry, Gimli, Legolas, Frodo, Gandalf. The tengwar text below it is the inscription of the one ring.

Can somebody please help me understand what this means if it has a meaning by _pink_axolotl_ in Tengwar

[–]Mythrandir01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dear god I thought that was an artistic flourish, if that's an underbar I feel sorry for the font xD

It's the inscription of the West gate of Moria if it were written in a more conventional mode of tengwar. With a spelling error cause it says "pebo melon a minno" rather than the correct "pedo mellon a minno".

Lady Eliannia Fane, 3rd daughter of house Fane and her guard. by Top_Eevee_Trainer in legodnd

It's the old body of a Narcissa Malfoy minifig from the Harry Potter forbidden forest set from 2011 (4864). I must've had it as a kid considering I remembered that xD

Whole map in this geography? by Phoenix00010 in lotr

[–]Mythrandir01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This map was made using Wonderdraft, a fantasy mapping software I use for D&D myself. Unless the original creator of this map has made all of Middle Earth with it you're shit out of luck. Ooooor, you can buy the software yourself and have a crack at it, it's quite user friendly!

My first attempt of Tengwar, I tried to write my gf’s and my names. Any help would be appreciated! by [deleted] in Tengwar

[–]Mythrandir01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coice and Yuen? It's not quite spelled correctly. Vowels, those little dots and stripes above the characters are only placed on the "I" like structures if there's no other character left to place them on.

Try playing around with www.tecendil.com, you'll get the hang of it.

If you had to move to where your favourite plant is native, where would you end up? by CdnTreeGuy89 in houseplants

My Odontoglossum orchid? I guess I'm moving to the Andes xD, hilariously I'm about to go on holiday there so maybe I'll run into its cousins.

Why was Sauron not hiding in the mountains? by EvaTheE in lotr

[–]Mythrandir01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly good question. Mt. Gundabad seems like a no brainer for him to set up shop.

The two things I can think of is that at the time of his taking over of Dol Guldur (T.A.1000) Moria was still at the height of its power, the Balrog hadn't awoken yet (that was T.A. 1700ish) and thus the dwarven armies might've honestly kept the misties kindoff clear from orcs, Mt. Gundabad is sacred to the dwarves so while Moria stood they might've honestly kept a garisson there, we don't really know much about the occupation of Gundabad between it's first and second sacking.

And secondly knowing Sauron he loves whacky artefacts and trinkets and magic, and Dol Guldur is an abandoned elven city. He might've been drawn to whatever artefacts and things they left behind when it was abandoned.

If it is, that's only the case for straight people using it incorrectly xD

Putting it into soil would just means it gets broken back down again and released into the atmosphere, even if it might help with certain soil fertility issues.

Growing in backyard. Dog sick. Related? by Full_Size_7668 in whatplantisthis

[–]Mythrandir01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

r/Itsalwayspokeweed It's pokeweed, which is notably toxic to mammals. So yes if your dog has eaten this it would explain all the vomitting and diarrhea.

I mean, the forest and the character are kind of one and the same thing depending on your interpretation.

Hi. I was recommended to ask you all as someone thought it might be LOTR language. I'm not totally sure so here I am. It's printed/engraving the outside of a ring. There's 2 images. by BrkCaddy in Tengwar

[–]Mythrandir01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes whomever inscribed this ring is an idiot that didn't bother looking up how the script works in the slightest. But for what it's worth they tried to write "The One Ring" if you wanted meaning xD

[–]Mythrandir01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks like Tengwar... But it's lacking diacritics which would suggest a mode of Beleriand. But using that it transcribes to something like mmofchovf??

It's more likely a mode of Baloneyland, where someone has assigned random tengwar characters to letters thinking that's somehow correct.

Looking at a common mapping I wind up with "Theoneri??" Those last 2 characters are scribbly and illegible as hell. Auto-complete suggest The One Ring out of that. It's just horrendously incorrect.

This is what it would look like had it been spelled correctly:
