Brainfart of the day

Is there a symbolic meaning behind Frodo going and destroying the Ring at the same age Bilbo was when he found the thing? Found at fifty, destroyed at fifty. And it's symbolic that there's Nine Walkers for Nine Nazgûl.

My fiancé thinks that maybe Tolkien just thought that fifty was a good age for a Hobbit to go on adventures.

Dear fanwriter,

Please repeat after me: fanon is not the same as canon.

Fanon is not the same as canon.

Making Thranduil an evil child-beating Elf just because you saw other people writing him this way doesn't mean it's right. Don't make me send Legolas after you to kick your arse. I dare you to find one passage in the books where it's stated Thranduil beat his children. You won't find it. Why? Because Elves don't do this. Get out of my fandom.

No frigging love,

Yattara.

Dr Who-wank.

Doctor Who Asexuality Wank (Is that a contradiction of terms, or what?)

Spoilers for Season 2, episodes 3 and 4 (School Reunion and The girl in the fireplace).

Nice way to prepare for this evening's episode. It's wanky like whoa!

Edit: and it links to this, earlier, piece of wank-report: Doctor Who Fandom: Imploding, One French Chick At A Time (Spoilers for Ep 4, obviously.) But hey, we get bingo! Life is indeed bountiful.

The girl in the fireplace.

Fuck, I loved this episode. ( The girl in the fireplace )

Very nicely done. I really loved it, especially the interaction between the Doctor and Madame de Pompadour. It was brilliant and somewhat bittersweet.
