Feanor invents the ultimate frappuccino and is furious when the management try to make him give it up. He leaves to start his own franchise but the shady chain store down the street keeps trying to put him out of business by sabotaging him. ft:

  • Turning on the roaster while one of his sons was cleaning it
  • Locking his conniving brother and his management team in the walk-in freezer and going home for the night
  • Burning himself in the roaster
  • His son getting a hand trapped in the panini press
  • Did Morgoth even do anything to them beyond stealing his secret syrup? 
  • Haha guys but what if the frappuccino was called the Grinding Ice

The Six Types of Middle-Earth Names

lotrfansaredorcs:

1. Characters whose Names are Secretly Insults: 

image

Samwise: means “Half-wise” or “Half-wit.” He is Stupid Gamgee

Faramir: Boromir’s name means “steadfast jewel”, but Faramir’s name just means “sufficient jewel.”

Sufficient.

Denethor took one look at baby Faramir and thought “eh I guess he exists or whatever” which is very in character

 2. Characters who Have Way Too Many Names

Examples include Aragorn son of Arathorn son of Arador heir of Isildur Elendil’s son, descendant of Numenor,  Thorongill,  Eagle of the Star,  Dúnadan, Strider,  Wingfoot, Longshanks, Elessar, Edhelharn, Elfstone, Estel, Hope, The Chieftain of the Dúnedain, King of the West, High King of Gondor and Arnor, and Envinyatar the Renewer of the House of Telcontar

Wait I’m sorry did I say “examples” plural

Cuz that was all one guy

3. Characters whose parents must’ve been prophets

image

-Frodo means “wise by experience.” His story is about becoming wise by experience
-A lady named Elwing turns into a bird (geddit)

4. Characters whose families were so lazy that they copy-pasted the same first half of a name onto multiple people

image

Théoden/Théodred 

Aragorn/Arathorn/Arador 
Éomer/

Éomund/Éowyn/Éorl
Elladan/Elrohir/Elrond/Elros/Elwing/Elenwë/Elendil/Eldarion (the laziest family) 

5.Characters whose Names are Expertly Designed so that Newbies can’t Remember Who is Who and Feel Sad

image

All the people mentioned in number 4
Celeborn, Celegorm, Celebrimbor, Celebrian
All the rhyming dwarf names in the Hobbit
Sauron and Saruman
Arwen and Éowyn

6. Name so nice, you say it twice

Legoas Greenleaf: Legolas’s first name means “Greenleaf” in elvish. Legolas is Greenleaf Greenleaf (thranduil really likes green leaves ok)

King Théoden’s name means King in Rohirric. Tolkien decided to name his name his king “King.” All hail King King

 this is what the fanbase means when we say tolkien was a creative genius with language

a muggleborn student coming to hogwarts with a thermos flask and filling it with tea in the morning so it stays hot all day and their pureblood friends are like “whoa what spell did you use for that” and they’re like “?????? it’s just a thermos???” and all the pureblood students start pointing their wands at cups and saying “THERMOS”

THERMOS

plot twist: it works, mugs suddenly start keeping tea at the perfect temperature for the caster all day. students in muggle studies start experimenting with other muggle jargon and a new generation of magic spells are born, propelling the stagnated wizard community into the technological age

*points wand at book* KINDLE!!!! *book propels itself into fireplace and bursts into flames* I FUCKED UP I FUCKED UP

Gandalf’s encounter with the Balrog was terrifying for the rest of the Fellowship, but for Gandalf it was probably just super awkward. Like running into an ex-coworker that you hate. Legolas is all, “Ai! Ai! A balrog!” And Gandalf is like, “dammit, not fucking Greg again.”

Fucking Greg.

 #‘fEAR THE WRATH OF — olorin?? is that you??’#‘yes hello greg’#‘i can’t believe it! it’s been how long – 30000 years?’#‘yes something of the sort…look can we maybe–’#‘wow…lemme tell you…time flies when you’re entombed in a mountain haha is that a new fana? it’s a good look!’#gandalf’s just standing there wanting to bang his head against a wall and the company’s looking on like ??? what is happening here – @asgardian–angels
