Discworld x Tolkien crossover where Vimes arrests the One Ring for being an accessory to murder
Sam Vimes does simply walk into Mordor. He holds the One Ring and it can do nothing to him, because its tempting whispers are nothing compared to the constant running commentary of the Darkness. And anyway, he doesn’t have time for this, it’s almost 6 o’clock and he has to go home to Little Sam (because some things are important).
I also feel like I want a moment of Nobby Nobbs fightng the Nazgul at Amon Sul with a flame thrower…
No, I want Nobby fighting Nazgul by fighting dirty, getting them on the ground and kicking them in the dusty jewels. Nazgul are all about style. Nobby… not so much.
Oh! And Cohen would have a field day in middle earth!
Oh my god yes Cohen would have a whale of a time.
Also I said in my tags about Gimli meeting Cheery but what about meeting Carrot? Would Tolkien dwarves operate under the same meanings of dwarfishness as Disc dwarves or would he be baffled by this six foot human claiming to be one of his people?SYBIL FINDING OUT ABOUT SMAUG
Consider the Nazgul not believing Nobby is a man and so avoiding him, until Nobby does get him down and gets kicking. But he doesn’t kill the Nazgul, because he IS a man. He has papers to prove it.
Hi hello yes every last one of you commenting on my dumb post is wonderful bye

The best part of ‘me, an intellectual’ is that the grammatically correct pronoun would be ‘I’.
you: me, an intellectual
me, an intellectual: I, an intellectual
hi where the fuck do you think that fragment is getting nominative case. listen to me. subjects of transitive verbs in nom-acc languages get nominative case by agreeing with a tense node. are you listening. fragments are accusative in english because that’s the default case when there’s no case-assigning node. meet me in the pit behind the denny’s and i will explain this to you. bring a whiteboard

maybe my favorite post to ever happen
“hi where the fuck do you think that fragment is getting nominative case”
Does kirby-ebooks know that literally everything they said here is Iconic?
please. tell us more about your ‘folk bangers’ playlist. that sounds relevant to all of my interests. (folks and banging)
if you want a playlist for banging folks this probably isn’t the one for you, but if you want to Go Off, Historically then WHAT’S UP
- The Parson’s Farewell – Bear McCreary (circa 1651)
- Rogues in a Nation – Steeleye Span (1791)
- Black Sails Main Title – Bear McCreary
- You Will Burn by Steeleye Span (actually written in the 1990s, but you wouldn’t think it)
- Ampleforth/Lay Me Low by The Albion Band (this was written in the ‘70s, but The Albion Band, and this album in particular, is made up of a bunch of old Fairport Convention members with vocals from people like Martin Carthy and Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span, and you really don’t get more Traditional English Folk than that)
- Poor Old Horse by The Albion Band (see above)
- Twa Corbies by Steeleye Span (1611)
- Babylon Is Fallen by Sacred Harp (1640s – this is the only half-decent version I could find, as previously I’ve only heard it sung around a fire by drunk English civil war reenactors)
- Over the Hills and Far Away by John Tams (late 1600s, sometimes something goes hard because of the feelings it stirs in your breast, and not because it actually goes hard)
- Dance of the Druids – Bear McCreary (from Outlander)
- Cam Ye O’er Frae France by Steeleye Span (circa 1716)
- Cold Blows the Wind (The Unquiet Grave) by Morrigan (dates back to as early as 1400)
- The Elf Knight by Steeleye Span (The Gowans Sae Gae variant of Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight, 1776)
- The Outlandish Knight by Bellowhead (another variant of Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight)
- The Hangman and the Papist by The Strawbs (another one written in the late 20th century by someone whose past life must have been thrilling)
- Tam Lin – Anïs Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer (1549 – and, listen, this isn’t a banger on its own, but when you compare it to other versions of Tam Lin it goes off)
- King Henry by Steeleye Span (my dad and I go a lot harder than Steeleye Span when we sing this, but still)
- Santianna/Santiano/Santy Anno by The Kingston Trio (1850s, another one that my dad and I destroy on car journeys)
- Rocky Road to Dublin by The Dubliners (circa 1850s)
- Ye Jacobites by Quilty (Ye Jacobites By Name was written between 1688 and 1746, and rewritten by Robert Burns in 1791)
- Shiver My Timbers – Muppet Treasure Island OST (do not fucking judge me, this song is an absolute banger of the first water)
🤘🏻
Things I am always down for no questions asked:
- Road trips
- Breakfast for dinner
- Hot coffee and good conversation
- Music
- Shopping
- Naps
- Food
Or good coffee and hot conversation. I’m not fussy.
You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.

I was at an art museum and I saw this painting from 1625. It’s by Gerrit van Honthorst and is called “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image,” and it basically is every person on this website.
Scottish women of the Highland Games–kicking ass, wearing kilts and making you swoon.
@opalescent-potato this has you written all over it
Seriously, life goals or wife goals? I can’t decide.
wtf even is Scotland
Braw.

I strongly recommend watching the new Jonathan Coulton video. Okay I always recommend watching Jonathan Coulton videos, but this one even more so.

what able bodied people think being undiagnosed is like: faking your health issue, not wanting to see a doctor because they’ll tell you what you don’t want to hear/that you don’t have that illness
what it’s actually like: after seeing nine specialists between 1997 and now the best answer you’ve gotten was “clearly there’s something wrong here but idfk what lmao”
