Hard truths

[KingODuckingham]

ahhhahah Lee's facial expressions for Saruman were so great, very funny when attached through blunt photoshops.

[Raisins]

Because it needs to be posted because I am still not over the fact Sean Bean survived Jupiter Ascending with a fight scene.

[Boromir88]

hahahaha, brilliant.

[Nessa Saelind]

Sean Bean, a living, walking spoiler

[Raisins]

I mean I know this is saying it's from the UK... But honestly that MIGHT have been me. I was watching the trilogy on repeat on Netflix to try to get them to bring the EE's onto the canadian version.



I also was doing a lot of sewing and was having it as background noise.

[Boromir88]

@Fuin Elda I like to watch them as background noise too, but not sure about over 300 times in one year. heh.

I can't believe PJ left out one of the books chief characters.

[KingODuckingham]

I mean, it's a legit question. Who IS Tom Bombadil, really?

And the 300 times thing is seriously impressive, but it's less impressive if it's not the extended editions...

[Wamba_the_Fool]

Tom Bombadil not in the movies: "Ah man, PJ left out Tom Bombadil."

Tom Bombadil in the movies: "CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT PJ DID TO TOM BOMBADIL AAAAAAAAA;OIWOUHW987Y34TOJBSDFKJCVBLIHER4O9HQ34TJNSFDGPIUHWR"

After Faramir, the Scouring, and numerous smaller outrages, I'm thankful it's the former.

[Boromir88]

@Wamba_the_Fool yes I definitely fall into the thankful it's the former category.

But now we should all agree that Sam was the "true" hero. Maybe if someone was unfamiliar with the books they were hoping for this ending?

[Lirimaer]

[KingODuckingham]

Tom Bombadil is of course the one speaking here:

[Wamba_the_Fool]

He knew Illuvatar had it under control.

[Boromir88]

Gandalf would be that guy.

[Marceline]

[Eldy Dunami]

"The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. In the common tongue it reads, 'One Ring to rule them all, bro'."

[KingODuckingham]

An old meme format for an old plaza (in spirit):

[Boromir88]

Happy birthday JRR Tolkien! (Although I don't think I'd consider this a nice present)

[KingODuckingham]

I think it would be difficult to disagree with the above meme. On the other hand, when memes get spicy and hard to read because they are crammed with text:

[Androthelm]

Hey now @KingODuckingham... They didn't get all the way to the Gap of Rohan. Although, I do wonder sometimes -- if they'd taken that route, might they not have made it to the ford before Theodred fell? What might have happened then?

[Boromir88]

Well, I think Boromir would have likely read the Silm battles and probably about Turin, but he certainly would have skipped the Music, the chapters about Elves and the Akallabeth.

Still reasonably accurate as far as memes go...Denethor did have a blind spot named Boromir.

[KingODuckingham]

Uhhh yeah this meme isn't funny but as a format it feels like the most fitting to belong in a thread called "hard truths"

[Raisins]

Oh look I've been called out. Thank goodness I have to get dressed a bit more because Amazon delivers to the post office only 20 minutes away.

[Nessa Saelind]

*raises I am in this photo and I don't like it banner*

[Raisins]

Things I would be okay with... I feel like he wouldn't be okay with my bullshire as a player though

[KingODuckingham]

I do not actually think these ideas are in conflict but hey it's hard to put much depth of thought into a meme:

[Menolly]

I found an egg in this thread! (and also some really excellent memes)

[Boromir88]

"Give us feet! And inches! You keep nasty metric."

[Raisins]

Hahaha love it Boromir! Canada is the worst though we bounce back and forth between both Metric and Imperial...The honest worst.


Decided this one needed to make the leap from Discord to here

[Raisins]

It's been far to long since something was posted in here...
This was sent to me from my pathfinder/DnD group and honestly I'm living for the faces at the end of this little strip.

[KingODuckingham]

Oh Boromir. You were too noble to deserve the meme treatment I am giving you.

[Raisins]

Lol Poor Boromir no respect for him at all. At least we've gotten past the earlly 2000's 'blowing the horn of gondor' phase.

So my brother thinks I am very much treebeard from this meme while dealing with my neice who still isn't talking yet which is a bit frustrating but they've been doing 'motions' to ask for things not so much ASL (because otherwise she says milk every 3 seconds)

[KingODuckingham]

My own toddler keeps saying he is one after he learned that he was three years old. I'm not sure if he is trying to say he is the firstborn (which he is), or if he is the best person in the room, or if he thinks he is one year old, or if he is just joking. Or something else. It is definitely hard to tell with little ones.

[Raisins]

So this came across my clockapp feed the other day and I debated on trying to make it clearer, but honestly I could only find ONE version of this gif that was decent and it was the one they used so... you get to enjoy this... because honestly the LOTR fandom is rising from the deep lol never mind 2022, it'll just be MORE then.


And I'd like to say it give a whole new meaning to 'Return of the King'

[Raisins]

And another post I saw and honestly... this made my head hurt. That and I very much now want to see what a 'just the recipe' mod would do to The Hobbit and LOTR in terms of losing the story.

[KingODuckingham]

I dread the day this comes. May it not be in my lifetime, but as Gandalf wisely said, that is not for us to decide. All we have to decide is what memes to make with the time that is given us. Or something.

[Raisins]

If they do a better job I'll be fine with it. If they pull the sort of shire they did with the hobbit I'll pretend it doesn't exist. The hobbit to me is as Faramir to Denethor

[Raisins]

So it is time for a dark era... (and you should all imagine me doing the Nathan Fillian gif... you know the one) because honestly.... It's not wrong technically???
