In honor of that soulless bleak caricature that is the hell I’ve been forced to watch that is rings of power.
I kinda want to do a porn heavy, LOTR dark fanfic safe in the knowledge of no matter what I do.
It will never approach the level of desecration that amazon has inflicted on the rest of us.
The LOTR stories on this site is lightyears better even the bleak gritty ones and for that they all should be commended and certainly celebrated.

I mean it only took them half-way through the first season to get a single decent scene. By the time they end its practically a garuntee they’ll make one good episode.
Where I’m not solidly rooting for Sauron to win.
-
Hmm… Seemed like there was full employment with Sauron, sounds like a jobs man!
-
Part of me wonders if the only reason the orcs followed him was because of the benefits and orcs where the only ones one who applied because it was in Black Speech.

Swimming back to middle earth is on a whole new spectrum of jumping the shark.

Glorfindel would have required as you said a vast cinematic universe of LOTR of multiple movies. Since he’s the only elf to essentialy be upgraded to maia after slaying a balrog no less.
I can see why peter jackson had to cut certain things, the one I’m grateful for is no tom bombadil.
That said the movies are light years of this bad abomination. I’d call it fanfiction but fans actually love the world.

Brandywine to Bree could easily have been a movie – think they could’ve made Tom Bombadil a good tale. Ditto for Bree to Rivendell. However, I suspect the actors might’ve objected to a 12 movie commitment (aside from the niceties of job security).
Also fun to consider the other roles the actors had. Sam is also Mikey from the Goonies. Bolomir is Ned Stark. And Elrond...Elrond… had a tough time on my first viewing separating him from the Matrix
-
Omg halfway through the season and they finally did a decent scene! Its a miracle… I mean aside from hitting rock bottom and finding a basement beneath but hey whose counting?

Welp back to job hunting though I don’t want to worry anyone

So uh first time I’ve been hired then released within the first day. So either it was a fluke or the economy might not be doing well.

Seriously, that is exceedingly unprofessional to make you come in to be told you were let go. What industry is this in?
-
Ironically, hospitality.
-
Well, shit. If it’s a hotel chain, let me know, because I won’t stay with them in future. Same thing if it’s a restaurant.
-
okay 3 chapters left. I’m going to to try to find a better job so I can nip another problem in the bud. The grand irony of all. Money.
-
Yeah...writing’s not a rich endeavor for most. A few lucky ones strike it rich, and who knows, your number might be drawn and your stories land in every household, and you’ll get a dozen block-buster movies made of them. There’s always hoping.

Lol, not sure I’d ever let hollywood within a lightyear of my characters. xD

Four Chapters left to fix.
-
Why did I start thinking “use-fix-a-flat” here?

-
Oh thank god that weird tonal shift was only around the last five chapters.
-
Still revising, its a good thing I’m going through chapter by chapter and have an outline cause I can tell there’s this weird tone shift I have to solve.
Anyone else ever look at your own writing go be confused of a weird tone shift?

Usually an unwanted tone shift is caused by putting the project down and coming back to it months/years later.

Or it was that damned midnight snack of peanut butter and bananas on toast…

…
I legit had that last night.

I can laugh at it now.
The bruises are gone but I don’t think I’m going to step into that house for a long time nomatter how much I love my grandparent.

Oh, good, you survived. Did you need search & rescue to pull you out?

Well between getting conked in the head by 1970’s ads in boxes , three outdated encyclopedias and essentially covered in every single issue of 1981’s readers digest surprisingly not.

Here’s a language funny.
If Tomb and Womb have the same sound
then shouldn’t bomb be pronounced Boom?

Not to mention cough, rough, dough, and bough.
Also, I’m glad they called it a vowel shift and not a vowel movement.

“Bomb” typically pronounces itself “boom,” so there is that.
-
75% done. Haha!

Dunno what you’re up to, but good work!?

Fun fact and a bit of trivia
The first mention of orange as a color was in 1502 and was a description of clothing for Margaret Tudor
-
and to add to that
the fruit was originally called a norange, but some scribe messed up and changed it to an orange, and it stuck…
same thing a nadder changed to an adder and a nickname used to be an ickname
