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
“It’s a rainbow, it’s a roof, it’s a tree? This 144-year-old Wisteria located in Japan looks nothing like your ordinary tree. With branches protruding out half-a-mile long, standing beneath this tree makes you truly feel like you’ve slipped into another world. A world where an enchanted pink sky hangs like a canopy overhead.
The pink and purple blooms typical to the wisteria tree are spread wildly throughout, extending far and wide. The ginormous vines stretching out of the tree are held up by steel rods placed throughout. Otherwise, the weight of the branches would cause the tree to collapse in on itself–potentially trapping awed visitors inside!
In all seriousness, the steel rods make it possible to venture beneath this tree and see how stunning it looks from the underside. From inside, the light pours in through the brightly colored vines, reflecting off of the flowers in unimaginable ways.
There are wisteria trees in many parts of the world, but one of the most well-known gorgeous giants is located at Ashikaga Flower Park. After looking at these photos I’m ready to book the next flight to Japan!
Planted around the year 1870, this tree has since brought so much delight. The wisteria is at its peak beauty between mid-April and mid-May.
Tourists and locals come to visit this tree, the sights that it offers never get old. Not only is the tree fun to gawk at from all angles, but the vines give off a lovely aroma, reminiscent of grapes.
I love this photo (above) because you can actually see the tree branch in all its curved glory. It’s not really a tree branch but rather a tangle of thick vines. Either way, the trunk’s shape makes this tree all the more mystical in my eyes.
You can see the rods supporting the heavy vines of the wisteria, wisteria that do not have a surface to grow up, or support them, will fall and start to grow into a large heap.
Depending on what time of day you visit, the lighting changes offering a world of diversity. Beware, even though this tree appears beautiful the seeds that it sheds are actually poisonous.
A part of the pea family, the light brown to pale green seeds shed by the wisteria are rather large. Not only are they poisonous, but they are also explosive. When left out unattended, they are known to explode, popping open and splitting apart with a loud sound.
Wisterias look like they have regular tree branches, but they are actually vines. These vines can climb up any nearby support systems, and can grow as tall as 20 meters.
Within only a few years a wisteria can gain a substantial amount of weight. Still, the wisteria will take its time developing to the point where it produces blooms, some take several years. Don’t give up on your wisteria tree just yet, others take as long as 6-10 years to bloom. According to these images, it’s well worth the wait.
Japan’s large wisteria is not the only one, nor is it the largest. There is a wisteria located in Sierra Madre, California that stretches an entire mile long and weighs over 250 tons. This wisteria was planted back in 1894.
If you don’t live close to any huge wisteria trees, at least you can plant and grow your own wisteria. Within one year they can grow 10 feet!
Wisterias aren’t all that hard to look after either, according to the US Plant Hardiness scale they are one tough hunk of bark! Even capable of growing in soil that is of poor quality.
Feeling obsessed with these photos? Wisteria has a way of luring people in, hence the name. Wisteria symbolizes “passionate love” or “obsession” in the Victorian language of flowers.“
This is where I want to get married. Nature is fucking amazing
If Gondolin was 100% hidden away, what was the point of making sure their swords glowed blue around orcs?
Realistically? The method had been developed before Gondolin was closed off, and they kept to that tradition during their long hiding.
Unrealistically? The smiths were trying to find a way to make their swords glow in the dark, but got it rather wrong, and made them glow in the presence of dark creatures. So Gondolin is falling, but there’s one smith at least who’s terrifically please with himself, because I told you I could make them glow.
On the surface, this seems like a ridiculous proposition. It’s not. Even the slightest bit of thought will reveal a shocking amount of symbolism and numerous parallels inserted by Tolkien to draw the attentive reader to the obvious conclusion.
Why would Thingol, who loved human disaster Turin Turambar like he was his own son, so despise a proven warrior of noble lineage? Because he was a dragon. Therefore Lúthien spoke, and said: ‘He is Beren son of Barahir, lord of Men, mighty foe of Morgoth, the tale of whose deeds is become a song even among the Elves.’ Note she introduces him as a lord of Men but not as a man. Because he is a dragon.
Look at the Ring of Barahir – it is serpents, a term used to refer to dragons throughout the text.
but Glaurung withheld his blast, and opened wide his serpent-eyes
Urulóki Quenya word meaning ‘fire-serpent’, dragon.
Despite his love of Finrod and his loyalty (the serpent that upholds), it is Beren that brings about his doom (the serpent that devours), just as Glaurung, Beren’s kin, will destroy the second king of Nargothrond.
[N]one know how he found a way, and so came by
paths that no Man nor Elf else ever dared to tread to the
borders of Doriath.
No man or elf ever dared it…but a dragon did!
But though their kinds were revealed, Sauron could not discover their names or
their purposes.
Why was he so confused when it was pretty frigging obvious who they were and what they were up to? Because Sauron, quite reasonably, did not expect to find Finrod Felagund keeping company with a dragon.
Think about the much discussed Leap of Beren. Did he really jump fifty feet in the air or did he fly? (this would make him an early prototype of the winged variety of dragons)
Trying to take the extra silmaril seems foolish – a jewel in the hand is worth two in Morgoth’s crown – until you remember he is a dragon and of course he was overpowered by his lust for shiny things.
Okay so how did Barahir and Emeldir have a dragon baby? Were they dragons too? Not necessarily. We know the Uruloki are Maia who have taken possession of constructed bodies. What if one such creature possessed baby Beren in utero?
Anyway, this is me picking the first few examples that sprang to mind, but the text is full of proof if you read between the lines.
