An AU of @jojo-schmo AU where, instead of traveling by foot, they go on a road trip instead:

The song I imagine playing throughout the entire thing:

[queer-ragnelle]

contender for funniest chapter opening of any retelling. ever. step dad pelli takes a tumble. whoopsie. (the road to avalon by joan wolf)

[muchmossymess]

lings the kind of guy you would think would be the first to die in a horror movie, but actually he just fucking. lucks out the entire time and is the only to make it out unscathed

Worst road trip? 👀

Did Annatar come thousands of miles by himself? Of course not, he’s got a retinue and he’s been doing diplomatic visits en route because he’s efficient. Consider, if you will, the put-upon attendants (and carriage drivers and ceremonial guards and hostlers and whoever else) that have to deal with, well, Annatar.

We had had only two hours of rest when the divine king returned to the road. He did not return alone; He walked arm-in-arm with a man - an Elf - a West-elf - an upset West-elf - whom He did not introduce. At least the Elf wasn’t armed, though who knew what it - she? - he? - could do with his voice. I have only heard the Silver-king sing in anger once, and once was more than enough for one lifetime.

agents of shield s7 really was a shockingly good conclusion to something I like… like on it’s own it’s a good season but I don’t really realize how highly I think of it overall (it’s not agents of shield s4 who’s praises I’ll sing any day of the week) until I think about how many concluding seasons or books of shows or series I love could have been better if they were more like it in a variety of ways…

In an early version of AVWH, Jaime actually abducted Myra from King's Landing after he attacked Ned.

This also led to Jaime regrettably executing Jory in front of Myra.

Sometimes I wonder what that version of my story would look like now.

[i-am-the-oyster]

In this rehearsal of Don't Let Me Down John repeatedly improvises

Oh keep your hands off my baby

Possibly a reference to this song:

I don't know if the link will go directly to the track. If not, you want to select the circle 14 from the end and go to the track Don't Let Me Down 29.09

It’s thrilling having the opportunity to work these desert races. Getting chances throughout my work day to grab my personal camera and run out to the track to shoot these beast trucks that are easily hitting 140mph+ in some sections.

Yesterday when I heard the unlimited trucks were lining up to start I grabbed my gear. I walked about seven minutes into the middle of the infield and found my spot where I would soon catch this shot. The first few Unlimited trucks came and went leaving massive clouds of dust. Then Thomas St. Peter comes flying through. This guy’s tearing through the berms, ripping wide on the last turn. They’re approaching me, fast. Everyone who passed me earlier had feathered their gas at this hole. NOT ST. PETER! They just said, “fuck it” and launched out of it sending them flying into the air all crooked. It was equally wild and scary being so close to one of these trucks as it came off the ground.

Yeah, I love what I do.

I'd like to share a few pre-odyssey stories from Odysseus's life that I think are fun.

He didn't choose to go to war. He was drafted into the war as a general. He tried to get out of it by pretending he was crazy because he didn't want to leave Telemachus and Penelope. So, when the guys came to his castle, he was out in the field pulling a plow, with the horse behind it like the horse was driving him. And most of the guys were like, "Wow, he's totally crazy!" but the head dude was like, "No, he's tricky. We gotta see if he's actually crazy. Bring out his newborn son!" So they brought Telemachus out, and put him in the path of the plow being like "If the king is actually crazy he'll run over his son!" Odysseus didn't do it, he swerved around Telemachus, and his cover was blown, so he had to go to war.

There was a prophecy that the first soldier who set foot on the beaches of Troy during the attack would die first, so when Odysseus's army were on the boats about to attack, none of them wanted to get off, in fear of dying. Odysseus was like "okay we need to get this show on the road." so he made a big show of talking about how ridiculous prophecies were, while secretly throwing his shield down on the sand. Then he was all "I'll jump down first, to prove that it's silly!" So he jumped off the boat onto his shield, and his army was like "Wow! he landed on the sand first! We've got nothing to worry about now!" So they all jumped off, and sure enough the first dude that landed was the first to die.

Since it seems that almost nobody I know has actually read the concerning hobbits bit of the lord of the rings prologue here’s some lore about hobbit politics™

Hobbits are mainly ruled by clan law. What family you’re officially apart of is very important and pretty much everyone has everyone else’s family histories memorized

Hobbits like reading very boring books full of information they already know about their own family lines

There’s hobbit wealth inequality. Rich hobbits live in holes because they can afford to make very big ones that fill up entire hills and it’s a way of showing off. Poor hobbits live in holes because they can’t afford houses so they just start digging into a hill. Middle class hobbits live in built structures made of wood.

A very long time ago there used to be a king in the area that gave the region of the shire to the hobbits if they promised to maintain the roads and bridges of the region

That king and kingdom hasn’t existed for over a thousand years but the hobbits still act like he’s around and follow his laws

They know he’s not there. They just act like he still is.

The hobbits claim they sent a bunch of archers to help in a war a long time ago but nobody else has this in their records of that war

Hobbits’ main methods of killing things usually involves either archery or throwing stones at things. Apparently they’re really really good at killing things by throwing rocks at them.

Bree hobbits live side by side with men and have lived there for a very long time

Bree hobbits call shire hobbits “colonizers”

They’ve got a leader called a thane but he’s only relevant during times of crisis to convene a moot of clan leaders but hobbits don’t generally have times of crisis so he’s mostly a figurehead

The thane is almost always from the Took family

There’s a mayor of the shire that’s elected. He mostly plans events and appoints the sheriff

There’s twelve police officers in the entirely of the shire that mostly act as animal control

The book makes a point of letting you know that the police officers don’t have uniforms but they do put little feathers in their hats

Not to dwell on it, but I still feel a tad directionless this morning

When was the last time you parked on the side of a mountain?
