High King Maglor

one of my favourite headcanons (which probably directly contradicts canon but who cares) is that Maglor is the present high king of the noldor.

Like, after Gil Galads death the few noldor that were left in Beleriand wanted a new king, but the two top contenders were local crown-dodging-champion Elrond Peredhel and Lady "considers herself Sindar/Vanyar/Teleri/anything but Noldor" Galadriel. And so they were kinda at an impasse, until someone (probably Elrond in an effort to take the attention off of himself) was like "hey, technically maglor is still around, and he's like fully Noldor royalty. He even was high king already for some time! Anyways, I'm gonna go fuck off and become a hotel manager"

And people were like "isn't he a kinslayer? I don't think that's a good idea?" But since nobody else wanted the job in the end they decided to just go with it.

So a long time later two noldor Lords have a dispute -probably a linguistic one- and they decide to let the high king settle it. After lots of searching they find him on the shore. And Maglor just sits there, barefoot, clothes torn, seaweed in his hair, having only interacted with crabs and seagulls for two ages, and is extremely confused what these people want from him. After listening for a while he slowly but surely realises that he has been the high king for the last few centuries, and nobody bothered to fucking inform him.

Count reprints, later editions of the same book, etc. If you have a copy that includes multiple books in one volume, you can count that, but do not count sequels/etc on their own. You can count ebooks and audiobooks if you possess the files in a permanent way (borrowed and streamed don't count).

Just learned this absolutely delightful bit of etymology:

During the 15th century, the English had an endearing practice of granting common human names to the birds that lived among them. Virtually every bird in that era had a name, and most of them, like Will Wagtail and Philip Sparrow have been long forgotten. Polly Parrot has stuck around, and Tom Tit and Jenny Wren, personable companions of the English countryside, are names still sometimes found in children’s rhymes. Other human names, however, have been incorporated so durably into the common names that still grace birds as to almost entirely obscure their origin. The Magpie, a loquacious black and white bird with a penchant for snatching shiny objects, once bore the simple name “pie,” probably coming from its Roman name, “pica.” The English named these birds Margaret, which was then abbreviated to Maggie, and finally left at Mag Pie. The vocal, crow-like bird called Jackdaw was also once just a “daw” named “Jack.”  The English also gave their ubiquitous and beloved orange-bellied, orb-shaped, wren-sized bird a human name. The first recorded Anglo-Saxon name for the Eurasian Robin was ruddoc, meaning “little red one.” By the medieval period, its name evolved to redbreast (the more accurate term orange only entered the English language when the fruit of the same name reached Great Britain in the 16th century). The English chose the satisfyingly alliterative name Robert for the redbreast, which they then changed to the popular Tudor nickname Robin. Soon enough, the name Robin Redbreast became so identified with the bird that Redbreast was dropped because it seemed so redundant.

Sometimes I feel old and out of touch because I don't know anything about the hot new music but then I remember even when I was a teenager I did not know the hot new music because I was an uncool little nerd and my family didn't listen to the radio. So my out of touchness is consistent and not age related.

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this
