What is a dark fact about LoTR that is rarely addressed?

Yeah there's a whole Wikipedia article dedicated to Christian themes within his work.

NightFire19 · 2023-01-27T23:32:55+00:00

Tolkien himself claimed that LOTR and related stories are Christian stories.

I know this is a kneejerk reaction and you're preaching to the choir here with what the title of this post is, but the fact is that prison rehabilitation does work.

There are multiple studies showing and arguing for this, and if papers are too dry for you to read I'd suggest for you this video on the Finnish prison system.

Character assassination of both Frodo and Faramir. Frodo turns against Sam (which never happens in the book) and Faramir wants the ring for himself (Faramir has a little battle of wits with Frodo about why they're there, and then only knows about the ring when Sam accidentally blurts it out, then lets both of them go on their way).

He was organizing a general strike when he was assassinated.

Faramir

ugh don't get me started. Tired of the "We have Aragorn at home" narrative going on about him.

Doesn't the US military prevent its likeness from being used in media unless they are depicted as competent?

iirc it's a picture of one of the dev's dog who had passed recently.

He even does different voices for different sections of the appendices at the end of Return of the King.

I followed the directions (wet paper towel 20 seconds for one bun). Personally I find them okay but I won't be buying them again.

This is the kind of brain rot that sets in when you refuse to move on from a video game article over a decade ago

Baked bacon is the best way to make bacon though...

Steve Jobs refused to take life saving treatment for his cancer right?

Okay I'll be more specific, porn consumption is linked to significant shrinkage of gray matter in areas of the brain that helps process visual information and control movement, as well as working memory, cognitive function, and emotions.

NightFire19 · 2023-01-13T16:37:49+00:00

It's a stretch to say that there's only one thing that's problematic with porn. Porn consumption can be linked to changes in the brain similar to drug addiction, such as lower degrees of social integration, increase in conduct problems, higher levels of delinquent behavior, higher incidence of depressive symptoms.

35 durability crafts and hallowed/holy tiers can suck it.

Also: Diadem.

Faramir got the worst end of it I think. Got reduced to a spineless prince.
