Happy National Hobbit Day
"I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness away; simple acts of kindness and love." -Gandalf Greyhame, The Lord of the Rings
In appreciation of all things Hobbit. May you have a merry and cozy day of good food and good company! (And possibly even a Pippin day.)
The crossover no one asked for
So, I was scrolling on reels post-shower. As one does. And I came across a video of what I'm pretty sure is a yellow lab grabbing a fish in its mouth that is nearly the length of its entire body. And then I thought, what if they did this with Clifford in Jaws??? I honestly think it could work. Does anyone else see my vision here?
Sith Obi Wan
Ok, so I've seen plenty of the Sith!ObiWan AUs floating around out there, and honestly they're super cool, but am I the only one who thinks they are all just OOC? Like, I genuinely think that there is no possible way to write an in-character Sith!Obi Wan, mainly because one of his defining characteristics throughout all of SW is that he actively chooses to stay in the light! It is literally the foundation of his character, and while I appreciate wanting to see that alternate universe, it never feels right to me, because Obi Wan has been faced time and time again with plenty of opportunities to give in to his fear, his anger, his hatred, his suffering, and he just HASN'T! He lost everything he held dear, and still retained his trust in the force, and his compassion for those around him, and I can't help but wonder, if losing everything and everyone you love to the hand of someone who you once considered a brother isn't enough to turn you to the dark side, what is?
Fitted sheet
Just remembered the time my freshman year of college where I went to show my roommate how cleanly I had folded a fitted sheet (it was literally the best fold I've ever done. Completely even, perfectly square, no excess in any part of the fold) and she goes, "Everyone knows how to fold a fitted sheet" in a tone of utter contempt. I was too shocked to give her any kind of scathing comeback, for two reasons. One, folding a fitted sheet is (to the best of my understanding) most definitely NOT something that everyone knows how to do??? And even if it were, that wasn't the point!! The point was that I had folded a fitted sheet to where it looked like a top sheet, and I thought (and still do think) that's pretty cool!
