@feanorianloki
the moment you look up from your computer in class because a classmate asked you what is going on but you don't know so you ask another classmate who usually knows but she doesn't either so you end up finding out nobody was paying attention and has any idea what is going on-
Happy lunar new year to those who celebrate! Let us hope the year of the rabbit brings us peace and prosperity. 新年快乐!
I love your theme ❤️❤️
Happy new year! I wish every single one of you happiness and luck for the next year. Let us hope it’s better than the last one was, it can’t get any worse (although I am aware we said the exact same thing a year ago). I guess we have to wait and see what 2023 brings us!
@feanorianloki Happy New Year! <3 Let’s definitely hope that 2023 is better. (Still 2022 here lol)
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!
I am on holiday. Three weeks of boredom and restlessness with nothing to do ahead.
@Shadowfax224 I borrowed all seasons. No, no homework. I missed an exam and I’ll have to re-write it next year.
@eeofmiddlearth I was sick just this week, and I may get sick again as I say next to a classmate who tested positive for COVID that same afternoon ._.
It's official: planet earth has endured my presence for one and a half decades.
This announcement is very late, but (as most of you probably heard) on the 15th, which (for me) is four days ago, the world population passed the mark of 8 billion. That means it's quadrupled since 1922, a hundred years ago, when it was approximately 2 billion.
This may seem irrelevant, as it's just a number, but if you think about it, it's mind-boggling. There are more than 8 billion human beings residing on this planet. Every minute, almost 300 babies are born just as 100 people leave this planet and go no-one-knows-where.
On the one hand, this seems like a lot. But on the other hand, it also shows that there is a finite amount of people here. People we have to take care of. Every one person in this 8 billion deserves a decent shot at life. As we all know, far too few of them get one.
I feel like we are not aware of the people on this planet, because we struggle with even imagining how much 1000 people could be (I do, at least). But if we think about it, and I mean really THINK, there are more than 8 billion other human beings apart from ourselves on this planet who are all so very like us and unlike us at the same time. They bleed the same way as us, they sleep the same, they dream the same. And there are so so many of them. It makes us feel small. Sometimes it makes us feel alone, especially looking at the big picture of how none of them, including ourselves, will never understand us or truly know us for who we truly are. And when we look at the universe at a larger scale, we feel even smaller. But then, what are the odds of humanity existing? What are the odds of the human who is reading this (I sincerely hope you're human - how do non-humans learn to comprehend the English language. If you aren't human, please tell me) or the human who is writing this existing? Both at the same time? Both in so different places and minds and families? They are astronomical. And yet it happened. The universe has decided to curse us of all people with existence.
@eeofmiddlearth that too. But I feel like if we don’t completely mess up, we’ll manage. Maybe. Hopefully.
After a long time with no updates I have decided to unpublish Black Rose, as I currently have neither the energy nor the time to continue writing on here. I will still be replying to messages and check my notifications, but this year has proved to be more stressful than I imagined.
@feanorianloki I'm sorry about that. Hope next year will bring us piece and tranquility
I just watched the season finale of Rings of Power… I was positively surprised, it was REALLY well-plotted. The one thing I’m certain about is that I CANNOT WAIT A YEAR (or more) FOR THE NEXT SEASON.
@ectheliond same. my optimism is limited, and there definitely were parts where I cringed. I'm just not giving up hope completely yet.
@feanorianloki I suppose galadriel did say, ‘I never saw him again,’ not ‘he died.’ Also if the Stranger is just a really inaccurate Gandalf I will have an aneurysm smh
@ectheliond I've seen theories that Celebrimbor's confusion stems from this being only Sauron's last visit. I really liked how they referenced the time compression though. "We have three weeks for the labour of three centuries." I think wherever Celeborn is, he is not dead. Either he comes back with Glorfindel (don't you dare replace Glorfindel...) or he's - somewhere? Idk where. Still alive though. You're right though, there were some issues, but I think from now on the plot will actually have more original materials to rely on. I'm really looking forward to the continuation of Númenor, my favourite plotline so far, and have not given up hope that the Stranger is Alatar or Pallando (Gandalf said "to the East I go not" in The Two Towers - I don't see how the writers/creators could've possibly missed that).
