Dom Monaghan and Billy Boyd on Merry, Pippin and the Ents, the Two Towers, Cast Commentary

[ghostly-atv]

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.”

Taking a break from TNG cuz I don’t want to get sick of it, so I went back to ENT and I forgot how silly it is, like when they have to rub each other down with some jelly substance to decontaminate

I'm such a sucker for reunited families

Did you know that the specific tag "Happy Frodo" only has two posts under it? I think that's hilarious

is this something

[planetlongjourney]

Can’t believe there’s homophobic Star Trek fans. Like. Are we watching the same show. Because im watching the “in the future all of humanity will put aside their differences and accept everyone and everybody, to create a better future” show, you seem to be watching the “everybody hates each other and everything and people still all hate everyone else and this is very good and beneficial to humans” show.

“Gene Roddenberry wouldn’t have wanted Star Trek to be gay!” He also did want Dianna Troi to have 4 breasts but I don’t see anybody talking about that now do we

get a loadda THIS guy

[copperbadge]

TIL "guy", as in "this guy", is an English cognate of the Italian proper name Guido. They have the same origin, which in Old French became Gui and led to Guy in English, and in Germanic became Wido and led to Guido in Italian.

But Italians don't use Guido as a general address the way we would say "hey, guys" in English and that is actually, literally because of Guy Fawkes. Effigies of Fawkes burned on Guy Fawkes Day were known as "guys", which then solely in English began to be applied to unusual or frightful characters of any kind and eventually to just, you know, guys.

And we can trace "guy" back from Guy Fawkes to Gui to the proto-germanic widuz, which it appears means "wood" in the sense both of "that desk is made of wood" and "till Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane".

(Which, as we all know, is a phrase that infuriated JRR Tolkien so much he invented a race of walking, talking trees in defiance of Shakespeare.)

Which means that if you are really intent on a non-gendered substitute for "guys", I think "what up my ents" is perfectly acceptable, linguistically speaking. Brunch with the guys? Entmoot. He's a good guy? No, they're a real ent.

So have fun with that, ents.
