So, I’m not planning on attending any rallies tomorrow.  Because I’m exhausted and so stressed my back muscles haven’t unknotted in months and I have a chronic headache from it and I. Can’t do it. Instead am going to be going to an amusement park.  For the first time since I was 13.  Because I was assaulted by a strange man in one of the ride lines and took a while to get over it.  But fuck it I loved roller coasters, I haven’t been on one since then, and I’m super excited. But also stressed.  Life is just.  A lot rn.

real talk why do so many fantasy universes think giant spiders are necessary

The sad part is there’s a decent chance a large proportion of them can be blamed on one spider.

The tarantula that bit JRR Tolkien as a child.

He swore he didn’t have a spider phobia and the experience had nothing to do with the man-eating giant spiders in The Hobbit, the even more giant and even more man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings, or the unholy eldritch spider from outside creation that plunged the world into darkness and made literal Satan scream like a little kid in the Silmarillion. Very few people believe him.

Given LotR’s influence in the fantasy genre, there is a high probability that tarantula is the progenitor of even more fictional spiders than Ungoliant was.

wow fuck that one tarantula

“fantasy universes have too many spiders” factoid actually just statistical error. Georgs Spider, who bit JRR Tolkein & is to blame for menacing over 10,000 fantasy universes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I was talking to @gffa about what a mess my drafts folder was the other day, and mentioned that I found this ^^ abandoned in there. 

I have no idea if I was going to actually write sarcastic items on this list eventually (like “his face is too handsome and it makes me angry”, “him building toy spaceships for Little Luke has emotionally ruined me forever”), or if the joke I was going for was that the list has no content because he’s so great, but I cracked up when I saw it. 

Anyways I had a hectic day today and this gave me a much-needed laugh. 🙂 

CAN CONFIRM HIS FACE IS TOO HANDSOME

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

LOOK AT HIS FACE.  SO HANDSOME.  SO TERRIBLE.

YOU KNOW WHY ELSE OBI-WAN KENOBI SUCKS?

I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS JERK.  HE’S THE WORST AND HE SUCKS.

HONESTLY SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MAN.
