Do you guys REALIZE the level of woodworkers that the Shire has to have? Pretty much everything in their houses is made of wood or lined with wood, and a LOT of it has to be bent to a circular shape. They have wainscoting on their round walls:
Which means they have to be shaping the wood with steam and fitting it to pretty massive forms to keep the shape.
They must have some really impressive carpentry shops, is what I'm saying. Carpentry, like gardening, must be a thriving and respected art, and now I'm just thinking about a hobbit carpenter finding her way to Rivendell and immediately tracking down an elf carpenter to tell her about their techniques:
(yes elven carpenters are pretty darn skilled too but I imagine half of it is they just *persuade* the wood to go where they want it to)

Believe it or not I'm actually not that invested in whether or not people think Palworld is a good game and Pocketpair are good devs but the amount of misinformation surrounding them is absolutely insane to the point I feel a need to (admittedly futilely) deflate everyone's rage boners

what is it about systemd and seemingly Lennart Poettering specifically that makes people talk like that. You'd think he killed their parents in front of them.

next in line for starlight express-ification is Blinky!! blinky train. blinky sleeping car. i was honestly at a loss to do for him until the image of the sleeping mask, shorts, and giant legwarmers came to me. he's a sleeping car on account of the whole 'don't wake him up' thing watcher world had going on.

I can't believe my dad is retired. I feel too young for this. I feel he's too young for this. I feel like I'm still 15 sometimes. I feel surprised every time I go home and he looks older. I feel surprised when I finally FaceTime home instead of call and see he's grown a beard for the first time in my life. I feel like time should really just... freeze

Consider, if you will, AU (either with canon post-s1 pre-s2 events but D.A.D.D.I.E.S. solves things before season 2 would start, or no Doodler/betrayal but Nicky still has to leave because FBI or other reasons) in which Terry Jr is the full time drama teacher for Teen High. Nicky returns from wherever he's been and is like "Well I want to be an active part of my kid's life and try and make up for lost time. I should go to his parents' evening, find out how he's doing in school, and meet his teachers. Especially this Mr Marlowe guy, Taylor seems to think he's awesome." And walking right into that classroom/hall to find his ex-boyfriend best friend sitting there in a dorky sweater and tie combo
Cue Terry, without missing a beat, greeting them as if nothing is wrong
Internal: when the FUCK did he come back and oh my god this is so awkward fuck I have to be professional how do I tell this guy that his kid is a loveable little shit after everything that's happened oh god oh fuck
Externally: "Hello Taylor and Mr Close-Foster-Freeman. I'm Taylor's drama teacher" *shakes hand* "Would you like to take a seat?"
