Rings of power can be summed as thus
Galadriel is pretty much the greater evil of the story and at this point only Sauron himself is capable of knocking her down a peg. No, I’m not joking. She has glimmers of self-awareness that flicker and fade just as quickly as the story itself won’t let her be wrong.( She’s pretty much the most empowered Mary Sue in recent history) The Harfoots are evil to the core. Let’s leave them to die turned to lets steal their wheels so they’ll absolutely die. Forget orcs, the only reason anyone is alive is because they’re avoiding these murder monsters. Orcs are more sympathetic and they’re the minions of evil. Exiling evil herself absolutely was the right call as even when she’s apologizing for manipulating someone. She’s still un-apologetically doing it. “Because I cannot stop” Durin’s subplot is the best part of RoP. The actors are having fun with what they’re given. The only reason sauron’s acolytes are about is they want to steal the Harfoot’s unabashed evil for themselves and for screen time. The Mithril thing.

Alrighty then…
I watched Episode 5 of the Rings of Power.  
There is so much wrong in this episode I don’t even know where to start!
 Mithril is not a melted Silmaril.  The Silmarilli cannot be destroyed.   Galadriel is wearing the sigil for the House of Feanor.  She is not of that house.  She is of the House of Finarfin. Tar-Miriel never went to Middle Earth.  In fact, when Ar-Pharazon goes to Middle Earth, by this time, he has forced Tar-Miriel into marriage and usurped the throne of Numenor.  She is supposed to be Queen Regnant, not Queen Regent. I could go on further, but this episode has me even more furious at how they have destroyed the legendarium.

Took a short break as I’ve noticed a lot of invalid avatars in the user profiles.

I think we all need to agree that Rings of Power counts as a crime against humanity and amazon sued for war crimes. Episode five… here I come.

I actually did start a LOTR darkfic half drunk.
 
One of the most anachronistic things I’ve ever written and it involved gandalf getting knocked out by a amazon prime box hitting him in the head and him tumbling down Orthanc

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.

It’s mortgage FREEDOM day!  One less landlord in my life.

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

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.

“Okay Google, in 30 minutes, remind me to put lube on my bike chain."
30 minutes later, I get “Put boob on my bike chain.”
Sounds uncomfortable.

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.

My smartass husband almost doomed us all. He’s eating animal crackers and found a cookie that appeared to be two different critters stuck together. What’s he suggest? ”Hey. Think we can fix this chimera with alchemy?” 

No, Cold. HAYELL no. We are not breaking the alchemical taboo in twenty-twenty-anything, this is not the decade to risk it! There are two whole anime series about just why we don’t mess around with that! 
 

There is not enough squee in the world for that moment when one randomly finds a copy of Diana Wynne Jones’s Howl’s Moving Castle on the Free Books table at the University library…. 

Oh thank god that weird tonal shift was only around the last five chapters.

AAAAAAND we have eruption number two, in as many years… fun fun fun  At least it’s stopped shaking now, I guess.

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?

Ever have a story idea so stupid that you had to write it, just to see if you could pull it off?
I have had such an idea. It’s a furry story about four boys from a racoon-like race whose island home is under occupation by tiger-like invaders. The boys manage to find an ancient artifact that they hope will give them superpowers to drive the invaders away.
Instead, the artifact turns them into a boy band. 
God help me, the story going to be called “Band Together.”

I’m not sure what CAUSED the outage, but it’s now fixed.  It looks like our ISP had to reboot the server after I opened a ticket

please tell me i am not the only one who thought of the movie ‘outbreak’ when the news people said we have our first case of monkeypox in the US! Please i cant be the only one!!!

What I say: "Hekapoo" (the name of a character from Star Vs. the Forces of Evil).
What my phone hears: "Heckapoo," "pecapoo," "Hackaboo," "Packaboo," or "Hecka poop," depending on its mood.

YES!!!  My internet works again, how blessed.    Now where do I pick up my medal for having to withstand an eight day outage? 

The goodnews 90% done with the revamp. Tying the loose threads into a serviceable plot. Trying so hard everything will be ready soon!
 
The Badnews, Having to deal with the fact my 90 year old grandma is a hoarder.
