The ring changes size to match the wearer too!

I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

dont get me started on mordin solus's speech patterns and his refusal to use personal pronouns, most notably when discussing genophage modification, until right before he dies and for the first time starts a sentence with i. dont get me started. full accountability right at the end. no sugarcoating, no deflecting, no rambling. i made a mistake. and then he repeats it. i made a mistake. as if even he cant believe he admitted it out loud, as if it feels so foreign on his tongue. dont even start to gas me up, brenda. dont even think about mentioning that the only time he gets close to a personal pronoun in reference to the genophage is when he talks about his team, calls them "we" as a unit, never to do it again as soon as he realizes the maelon defected. shut your fucking mouth. don't do it. don't say a goddamn word about it. if you even think about discussing how mordin has depersonalized himself so much from the trauma that came with his work that it even bled into the way he talks for the rest of his life, ill fucking lose my mind.

This may be the worst use of LLMs anyone has attempted, ever. Up there with recognizing mushrooms.
