Nobody said he invented fantasy, just that he influenced the whole genre.

>>46241
The fixation on distinct fantasy races with their own cultures and languages was original to Tolkien. Elves and dwarves exist in earlier myth and fantasy but Tolkien was the one who spelled them with the v instead of the f and almost all contemporary elves and dwarves take more after Tolkien's races than mythical/fairytale creatures.

>Nobody said he invented fantasy, just that he influenced the whole genre.
But he really didn't. In what way?

>The fixation on distinct fantasy races with their own cultures and languages was original to Tolkien.
No it's fucking not. Of course every fantasy race has their own culture in every fantasy work. Look at the OZ series. Look at the books they say
<Tolkien stated in a letter to the novelist Naomi Mitchison that his orcs had been influenced by George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin.[T 1] He explained that his word "orc" was "derived from Old English orc 'demon', but only because of its phonetic suitability",[T 1][17] and
I'd say what was maybe new for him was he shifted the focus away from the traditional fantasy adventure format, where the hero, goes on journey, meets this strange creature, this magical character, etc. etc.(which The Hobbit fits more into that mold) and shifted the focus onto a large scale war. Like everyone says about the obvious WW2 allegory of LOTR.

>Elves and dwarves exist in earlier myth and fantasy but Tolkien was the one who spelled them with the v instead of the f and almost all contemporary elves and dwarves take more after Tolkien's races than mythical/fairytale creatures.
<Minor spelling change
I wouldn't say that at all. His dwarves and orcs fit neatly with all previous portrayals and descriptions for the most part. And once again how silly it is to try and claim he has the trademark for what he tweaked from popular folklore and mythology.


And top of all that, not all fantasies are Tolkien inspired. There's a lot of fantasy out there. I won't repeat myself again but I hate this shallow media literacy that leads people to make grand sweeping statements about a genre they really know nothing about. Yeah it seems that way to you that the Beatles or Tolkien were completely original artists and all artists after them are copycats of them specifically, but if you had some media literacy you'd understand what work came out before them and at the same time as them, they were inspired by their peers, people today maybe more inspired by one of their contemporaries than them, but their work may share similaPost too long.

>But he really didn't.
It's pretty incredible to claim that lotr hasn't been massively influential, as though it hasn't been a cultural touchstone for the better part of a century and a central influence on all sorts of media even beyond just fantasy literature.

i just love seeing those haughty elfs taken down a peg you know?

>>46246
Nobody's calling Tolkien completely original lol. Why are you fixating on that? The fact is his minor idiosyncratic skew on common fantasy tropes have become dominant interpretations in the genre. You talk about media literacy but you can't even understand the points people are making in the posts you're arguing with.

>>46178
Oh, shit. I didn’t realize I used the same image as the OP lol still hope to maybe see some activity here though!

>>46185
I can promise at least a single unit of activity in a few hours time

>>46195
New tamers ep was fun, it ended well especially

>>46195
>>46204
Ah, yes!! A fellow Tamers fan!!!
The latest movie was absolute cinema!

KINO incoming.

>>46236
Trvkvlar Bomba. Same shit with tabletop RPGs and the FLGS. "But they provide a space though". Counterpoint: everyone has internet now you can find players online, and if you don't feel like inviting them back to your home then libraries have free room rentals. The skatepark in town is free like the library tbh, idk what the skate shop is for.

>>46236
I like obey because I like They Live

>>46158
>Never met an old skater with all their teeth
Wear a mouth guard.

>>46243
>>46158
TBH those skaters seem to get into a lot of street fights too, so maybe the teeth loss isn't even from the skateboarding itself.

>>46223
It's a sci-fi plot, it's not trying to parallel anything. In fact the droids vs clones is the only real sci-fi thing in Star Wars.

Genetically, it's loosely based on themes from Dune: CHOAM, Butlerian Jihad, the Bene Tleilax, Gholas…

Like, a lot of stuff in Star Wars is basically shit taken from Dune because Lucas thought is was cool but from its context removed. Like the incest themes, the separatist machine armies, the sword combat, etc.

>>46223
He probably wanted a way to have massive wars without thinking too hard about the scale of the casualties. Droids vs clones seems an easy to conduct mass scale wars without major loss of life to both sides in the prequels.

>>46223
Luke mentions Obi-Wan "fought in the clone wars" so Lucas felt the need to include that.

>>46214
that post could be generated by AI after parsing /r/malefashionadvice thoever

Got my phone back after a month of being on a ward without an internet connection. Wrote this for one of the women here:

March gives way
to June; and
all the bitter
season of youth
Falls by blank
passage to a
sole proof: of
days wreathed in
loose threads
of ivy and
sycamore leaves,
whose soft foot
treads on

Another I wrote on the ward, mostly as a fancy as there's no way to edit the verse so it was written for pleasure. The final line isn't fully mine.

The last thing I wrote before being admitted:

You have a shadow,
they cackle, but
I know that laugh;
its sharp harsh
whine which nips
at heels, heels,
and waits patiently
by the bed.

Little is said
greeting old friends
seeming as if
they never left;

Last of these I'll post here: a failed verse on the false comparison between a medieval jewler and war.

What does he there
set upon the world
by that jewelers art?
-
To let dark night
by passion sparked
burn and shatter,
this cloister
scorched black
by racked coal
like witches pyre,
its white ore
witness to the beating

has anyone looked into self publishing?

oh and bell peppers somewhere in the middle but it seems I forgot to jot down where

>>39606
there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true

Perfect

Alright long story short, I used to be poor but rented a space with some gardenspace which was cool.

I moved and had to give that up (which really kinda depressed me) but now I have an easy, good paying job right now. I'm just planning to save some money and buy a field somewhere where I can put a small enough living space (or with a few people). With some luck I can turn this in a fully remote job too.

I'll love this thread. I used to work for am organic farm. It was pretty cool but I couldn't keep working there, also I want to go further.

Thank you for reading my blogpost.

>>46071
The UN sometimes does good things. Not everything about it is the security council. They probably are taking advantage of the situation somehow but it's still good to slow down desertification.

>>46171
Thank you for writing it. Good luck on turning it into a remote job and getting the field.

>>46071
>there anything sketchy about the UN doing all this? seems too good to be true
there's nothing sus about it, they're just forced to respond to China's publicized success in reversing desertification. Some Western countries were forced to give their populations some succdem healthcare during the cold war because the USSR was doing it. Now China's advances in greening deserts is forcing the UN to finally follow some good policies.

Батя?
This is diabolical level of slavic cooking.
It's like two levels below fried soup

>>45992
You are mentally ill

>>45842
Do honkies die if they taste a spice

>>46046
Fried soup sounds kinda sick tbh
Like I'm imagining beef stew or chicken noodle soop but even more savory and thick

anons when the brine in a jar of pickles or olives turns yellow does that mean it's gone bad?
