#i can’t believe this has to be said

I can’t believe the fandom has made it so that criticising death eaters is somewhat of a crime and offensive.

In the books, death eaters were blood supremacists who wanted to create a regime that would oppress and murder muggleborn witches and wizards as well as muggles. It was a terrorist organisation, which means that every single member who joined are… guess what? Terrorists and blood supremacists. This is not speculation or opinion. This is facts. It was in the books.

Now, you can choose to ignore this and give these canonical terrorists all the sob stories you want to justify their actions, but remember that those are your personal headcanons, not facts. It’s fanon, not canon.

So, don’t camp under people’s posts who are speaking about canon versions of characters and criticising them for who they were in the books because you headcanon them as helpless baby boys.

The same way people are allowed to disregard canon to build their own perception of these characters, people are also allowed to care for who they were in the books.

I cannot believe I have to continue to say this.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN AGE IN YOUR BIO OR PINNED POST YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!! IF YOUR AGE IS NOT VISIBLE WHEN I CLICK ON YOUR BLOG, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!!!

Also, if all you have in your bio, is “18” IM BLOCKING YOU!!! There’s nothing substantial telling me that you are over 18.

My ENTIRE blog is 18+. Having “18+” in your bio means NOTHING. If I see “18+” in your bio, but you don’t actually specify your age, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED!!!

You don’t have to have your exact age if you’re uncomfortable. You can simply put “20s/30s/40s”. if you have a blank blog, BLOCKED.

My blog is a MDNI (Minors Do Not Interact) blog. I will no longer be letting things slide. While yes, you are responsible for your own media consumption, I will not be allowing you, AS A MINOR, to be consuming MY content.

This is Scott Cawthon’s biggest regret in FNAF..

[nerdy-hyperfixations]

I just want to remind everyone that Wallace is canonically the worse one to sleep in the same bed with.

Scott can be a bad roommate in every other aspect but GUYS Wallace is the one that canonically snores and kicks in his sleep.

Scott sleeps like a princess with his back against the sheet lying perfectly straight (and also taking all the covers) and Wallace sleeps semi-on-his-side and apparently just fucking punting Scott in the leg every so often (not to mention he talked in his sleep too) and I don’t know why this is important to me but it is.

Because when people draw them cuddling in their sleep it’s always Wallace being normal and Scott turning and snoring and shit but you’re missing out on sleepy-cuddly Wallace turning and snoring on Scott. Let that cringe-fail 25 year old be annoying. Istg.

I’m talking to the Mobillace people too btw. Not that I’ve seen anyone draw them cuddling in bed (which is a CRIME btw. Draw that. For me.) but like imagine how funny it would be: Mobile stays the night for the first time and the hot-weirdo is a bed-menace, snoring and kicking and tossing and turning and suction cupping for warmth and Mobile is like “I want him to be my boyfriend” THATS FUNNY!

@emeraldchase okay, here goes!

I’ve seen a lot of jokes about how the best the Ring can do to tempt Sam is a garden. I’ve laughed at them too, but there’s an element to some of the jokes that dismisses the importance of the scene in my opinion. 

The Ring offers power according not only to a person’s desires, but to their abilities. We can infer from what the Ring offers Sam that Sam would desire to do good with it, (arguably, overthrowing Barad-dur and turning the wasteland of Mordor into a garden is a good desire,) but that doesn’t mean it’s not a dangerous power fantasy in its own way. The desire to remake the world in one’s own image and enforce it by any means necessary is something not even our dear Sam is immune to. He’s not imagining a world where nothing threatens peace, he’s imagining being the threat that enforces the peace. If it takes a flaming sword to bring his order into the world then it takes a flaming sword. The Ring tries to convince him it would give him the power to do so. 

The Ring is, of course, a liar, and it’s a credit to Sam that he realized that after rejecting what the Ring was offering him, but it’s also a credit to Sam that he rejected it in the first place. This is his equivalent to Galadriel’s test. Unlike Galadriel, however, he’s in possession of the Ring at the time the temptation comes upon him and I think that’s saying something. 

Curiously, his reward when he returns to the Shire gives him the wholesome version of these desires, not to mention many more blessings besides.

The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command.

Though Sam as the mayor isn’t a position of great power equal to the great kingdoms of Middle-earth by any stretch, it’s a responsibility. (What that looks like is better seen in the unpublished epilogue to the story, in my opinion.) A responsibility he’s proven himself capable of handling. Likewise with a garden swollen to a realm. The part of the Shire that most benefited from his use of Galadriel’s gift was Hobbiton, it’s true, but he did travel the four farthings of the Shire to mend what harms he could. 

I’m not suggesting that Sam could have become this tyrannical ruler, because Sam hasn’t trained his will to the domination of others and also does not have the innate power that Gandalf and Galadriel both have. (Not to mention Sam is correct that Sauron would have seen him if he’d put the Ring on in Mordor: Frodo put on the Ring at Mount Doom and Sauron was instantly aware.) There are few enough who would survive a direct contest with Sauron in a situation like that, so I’m not putting Sam down either by saying that Sam putting on the Ring would have doomed Middle-earth. 

What I’m saying is that just because the vision was of a garden doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have been detrimental to Sam’s character if he’d accepted the vision. Gandalf was wary of even handling it. Sam meanwhile goes to the ends of the earth as far as his people are concerned, right alongside the Ringbearer, and remains mainly concerned for the welfare of Frodo. The thought of what he might do with the Ring hasn’t crossed his mind until that moment. When measured up against his devotion to his master and also his plain hobbit-sense, the Ring can’t compete.

I cannot believe cowboy like me exists. I cannot believe she wrote a whole song about telling people what they want to hear for money. I cannot believe she refers to her pursuit of fame and fortune as the work of a bandit. A hustle. I can’t believe she refers to the love she gave to men she had dated in the past as swindling them. I can’t believe she wrote a whole song about a partnership that nobody will ever be able to prove was real or not and if they ever do she’ll be long gone with the money and all we will have left is the story in the songs. I cannot believe she referred to that partnership as a con. I cannot believe

In light of the cozy Hobbit game being teased, I also want a cozy Jedi Order game please. Might as well put both my deepest gaming desires out there, now that one of them might come true.

You play as a yoda-species or a Neti, some long-lived species, and serve on the Council and the game is played over multiple generations of Jedi.

You have to balance the reputation of the Order among the Senate and the Core and the Outer Rim, and allocate Jedi to the Knight and Corps missions and Seekers and sort out the Initiates into the sector best fitting their skills. Do you fund the Archives or the Crèche most in this century? What bout the next, and the next after that?

You get bonuses for the variety of species living in the Temple, and the size and complexity of the Room of a Thousand Fountains, and how many planets' worth of plants are represented.

And of course things start going wrong- rumours spread and reputation becomes more difficult to keep up over the centuries. The number of children in the crèche gets harder and harder to keep up because seeking becomes more difficult. The funding you get from the Senate fluctuates. The mission intelligence starts coming through flawed. There are conspiracies in the Senate, but you can't just go around accusing people of conspiracy, so you have to wait it out, allocate people with high diplomacy skills and hope for the best.

After 1000 years you have to figure out which of the non-canon Senate characters is the Sith Master. The public support, their reactions, the future of the Order after that point depends on how well you balanced things over the game.
