How is a raven like a writing desk?

How is a raven like a writing desk?

First FIVE days after the weekend are the hardest.

Welp, Episode eight managed to somehow find the subbasement to rock bottom. Dear god where do I start?
It is a banal anathemic sacrilege and outright vitriolic and visceral sustained blasphemic abortion to Tolkien’s works. Not only is tone deaf in a way that only a soulless and hellbound corporation could manage. It goes out of its way to be Anti-Tolkien even at its basest level.
Corporate Anti-fiction as its final shuddering evolution on par with the erecting of the tower of babel itself.  Not only does it absolutely and resolutely undermine LOTR in its entirety it precludes the conceptual possibility of LOTR altogether.
it has to be AU at best.
The least of its crimes against nature and sin is it refutes the concept of goodness itself. Morgoth won the war is the best way to describe it. Eru Ilúvatar could never have created something this vacuous and empty.
Galadriel-Sue is the brand new face of a blackhole mary sue. Reality is her bitch and even the plot gives way to her mercurial wants.
Non-negotiable Ray Palpatine doesn’t even come close to this new found level of mary sue. This utterly insulting caricature. She is the left hand and right hand of Morgoth at the same time. Fk it Galadriel is what a successful Morgoth would look like.
Not only is she the instigator of everything in RoP. She’s The Dark Lord of the entire franchise by proxy who not only is forgiven but gets to escape karma entirely and go to the Undying Lands.  Sauron himself is her victim. Let that sink in.
I joked in an earlier post that sauron was the only one that could topple her. Nope, she took an erupting volcano to the face. Her plot armor is so heavily reinforced and thick I don’t even think the Death Star could touch her.
Sauron is exactly who you think it is and he is the doomed hero of the series.
This finale is what the death of fiction looks like.
If a corporation and or hollywood so much as even looks in your direction. Rings of Power is the absolute and resolute lasting example of what they’ll do to your beloved works if given even half a chance. Have a lawyer on hand and a box of pampers cause there’d be no possibility of even a bathroom break for the author on set who’d actively have to have a fricking loaded gun on the desk in front of everyone in the writing room at all times.
Rings of Power -10/10 Actively avoid at all costs with the acknowledgment that anyone praising it is actively trying to gaslight you.
 

Rest in peace, Robbie Coltrane...

Episode eight here I come.
 
A finale shouldn’t cause a pit of dread.

I need to spork out my eyes! 

I feel like Dobby since I only have to stomach episode 8 and I can leave RoP behind for good thank god.

Full read only mode.  Hacker attacked the chapters tables. Thier malice is wearing on my nerves.  Dg and I will deep dive after our respective day jobs. 

Caught the ass hat hacker in the act…..  The ass is a member and targeting the story manager story info update. Restored the db from an earlier clone and have now laid a trap….

Profile editing, registration, activation, and password reset unlocked.
Next unlock and backup in a few hours.

Partial ready-only mode, story manager unlocked. Profile editing will unlock in a couple of hours. Trying to figure out where exactly our hacker is getting in.

Sitting in read only again for a bit, Ass hat hacker attacked again. I need to get a couple of hours sleep before I look at the code. Had to roll back 24 hours

Story Manager is now Live!!!!

So my father-in-law recently survived a stroke, unfortunately. (He’s a real narcissistic ass) and that side of the family is pushing for my husband and I to send well wishes to him…. So, any suggestions for bland / neutral ways to say “congratulations on your continued existence.”?

Hmm… maybe I should, like, draw a map to this haunted house before I write about it?

Episode 7 here I come

Story manager rewrite 25% done & new donations plug image.

That awkward moment when you see a “Report notification” for the first time in weeks and think to yourself “Oh, there’s someone reporting something.” and then it creeps up on you… I am the moderator and it’s my job to deal with that. (We're not mentioning that I’m also the one who made the damned spam report!)
