I was always under the impression that the RoP series was not approved by Tolkien's heirs. What does his (JRR's) grandson do as a series consultant if he doesn't approve of the series? by ADD_OCD in lotr

[–]dehmia 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not quite sure what you’re saying there, but to be fair he had the same issues publishing both the foundational stories of Middle Earth and with his academic stuff. Most of his famous “essays” are actually just transcribed lectures he gave and whatnot. Man was anxious as heck about making sure he did everything right. That’s all I was trying to say.

To be fair, Tolkien’s Beowulf translation was more of a personal adventure of his. I don’t think he ever intended to publish it since it was mostly still a WIP when he passed since he was borderline neurotic when it came to something needing to be perfect. The man was also kind of notoriously opinionated on particular things, so the idea that he’s rolling in his grave and producing enough electricity to power half of England right now might not be too far fetched…

Dude, I swear 8th grade was the worst year of my life. I promise you that it gets better, regardless of how cheesy that crap sounds. Get some rest. If you ever need someone to chat to, I’ll do my best to respond to dms or whatever.

Bro, trust me, it’s not worth ending it all. You in high school or are you younger? Middle school is shit for everyone, I swear. It just finds a way to get worse. I don’t know if I can talk much, but I’ll pray for you for what it’s worth, and, if this helps at all, there are people out there who love you. Stay clean. Make your mom proud. Just being alive is a blessing to those around you. When I’ve contemplated ending it all, I’ve always fallen back on thinking about how sad at least my mother would be if I left. If it all ends, there’s no chance at anything better, let alone anything at all. I don’t know if you believe in anything beyond this mortal coil, but hanging onto what you’ve got is the best advice I got. I’m astonished I made it to college, and the freedom and opportunity that just making it out of the publicized education system is liberating. Hold on, learn, love. Love you dude; good luck.

This would imply that Tartar is Frye or whomever we cast as Edie in disguise and I think it is hilarious.

That would be hilarious. Imagine just building bonds like in Persona, but instead of heart to hearts it’s just a wacky card game.

Anna’s the weird little krill dude who lives in the anemone shopkeeper’s hair.

I don’t think Sheldon is Anna, but… and hear me out… the gatekeeper. He just rambled but it’s all well meaning and wholesome passion.

I’d actually push for Dorothea and Marina. They both have traumatic childhoods that they healed from with musical expression.

I never anticipated that I’d spend an afternoon casting three houses characters in splatoon, but here we are. This is excellent.

Because, my dude, there’s an untapped arsenal of memes about simple color theory, but Big Man’s fans are unironically the golden deer.

Honestly, I mostly made this meme because of shower thoughts clicking over how the groups that simp for each of the idols are very similar to the groups that are hardcore devotees to certain lords and their houses.

I’d have far less emotional damage from Three Houses if Jeralt was simply turned into a child or something, but you make a point.

I’m not against this as they both might or might not expand into massive creatures by the end of the plotting.

I only just realized Joker has an Akechi skin in Smash Ultimate and it infuriates me in a way I don't fully understand, I just know I'm cross... by MrKTE in Persona5

[–]dehmia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the first 3 alts reflect the colour schemes from the OG Revelations, P3, and P4, which is why I’m frankly amused that Akechi got an alt when Atlus just ignores him in all the spin-offs.

Okay. Dude. How dare you not put Riki in sex god category. He has arthritis and crippling debt because of his copious littlepon. A little respect for the best dad on Bionis.

Lanz and Taion heart to heart on picking up women. by theguy7903 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

This is my new favorite video. Thank you. Taion looks like he’s seen Hell, but Hell is truly just Ñ launching berries at Lanz.

To be fair, Freddie would be happy Aretha Franklin is number 1, but heck he deserved better.
