What the fuck does the Pokemon company have against cyndaquil?!

Jude @jude.athrabeth.com · 16/09/2026

@pennyvixen.bsky.social a question about audiobooks and pronunciation? The narrator of tomb of dragons pronounces several terms last heard in goblin emperor slightly differently. Hard vs soft c in alcethmaret for ex. Did you have input in either? Is one more correct?

This is hilariously accurate. Goku is basically tom bombadil

Unless you are a golden trinket forged in the fires of mount doom your judgement is unfortunately not the deciding factor

I don’t think “gleefully waving at the heads of your enemies” is consistent with the moral purity required to resist the ring. Ditto aiding and abetting war crimes.

Name a non-LotR character who could resist the One Ring. Entil’Zha edition! Delenn: pre-transformation no, post maybe Sinclair: absolutely yes John “loafers in the bedroom” “it’s not a war crime if theyre aliens” Sheridan? Hed turn b5 into angmar

I have come out of oxonmoot with something like three new ideas for Tolkien related papers and games.

Is that out of like spite or support? Cause I have very different gif reactions depending…

this is not an hp lovecraft situation, this is an orson scott card "your money actively harms people" situation. it doesnt matter if you loved it as a kid. your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of trans people

Wrote an open letter to the editors at Amon Hen about a recently featured article entitled “The Palantír of the 21st Century: Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)” by Tom Martin, an investor in the company Palantir. I make my concerns clear tolkienpop.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

@tolkiensociety.org Didn’t expect having Palantir apologia from…an investor in Palantir…published in Amon Hen 🤦🏽‍♂️

you gotta be Wrong with a capital W to get you and i on the same side of some shit

okay first, i have to admit that i unironically ADORE this movie, its 90s supergroup theme song is a fucking JAM. second, Tim Curry is a highlight as a skeeveball cardinal. A+ villaining.

Tremendously disappointed to see the AI piece in this months issue of Amon Hen. Putting aside the whole "Tolkien would never" arguments, the piece is simply bad. Its a deeply dishonest take on AI and a poor interpretation of Tolkien's work.

anya taylor-joy was inspired casting for Illyana. I was so disappointed to see it wasted. Least we got some fun gifs?

i probably shouldn't enjoy verstappen crashing out on lap 2 of his home race (the last time it'll be run, no less) as much as i did, but i just cant stop hating on the dude. he seems like a perfectly fine person, but as a racer he's such a schmuck

i will never stop shouting about how much i love these books. i adore each of them, and will drop EVERYTHING to tell you why you will to at the slightest provocation

You can’t hand me a bucket of alternate timelines in a mage game!

Jude @jude.athrabeth.com · 21/08/2026

Alternate suggestion. YOU run werewolf and everyone else plays werewolf versions of their mages and I’ll make sure to come up with like 7 AU versions of my character

if i had ever played WtA before i'd be tempted, but i am always reluctant to run a game i've never played before.
