HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEOWULF!!!
(technically it was yesterday but I could only finish it now ;u;)
Anyway, since I can’t get my procrestinating butt to do anything (not even the things I want to do) I couln’t come up with anything better for him, which is a shame because little Beo is one of my favourites. He deserves better but I can’t control myself. Oof.
Happy birthday, best wolf boy! ❤️🐺🌙
The Beowulf movie is so bad, but you have to give the animators credit for the insane amount of creativity when censoring Beowulf’s dick
What books are next on your reading list?
Besides books I need to read for work...I'm trying to get my brother and I to read together. Mostly, he's suppose to read a Jane Austen book while I read Horatio Hornblower...
Instead, he's reading Beowulf while I'm reading Just Stab Me Now so you can see how that's going. 🤣
Are the dwarves in Tolkien's works actually anti-Semitic or is that another thing that comes from Norse myths? I don’t know how much of The Hobbit was based on Norse stuff (the premise and size of Thorin’s company come from Beowulf), but two of the famous dwarves from Norse myth are famous for their greed, Andvari and Fafnir. Andvari had a lot of gold and a cursed ring, and then when Fafnir got the ring, his greed was so great that he became a dragon (probably where the concept of dragon sickness comes from), and his presence is sometimes said to have poisoned the land.
Either way, modern dwarves seem to have mostly grown past the anti-Semitic stuff.
thoughts on goblins in the DRG universe?
(I don't really like goblins as a concept bc of antisemitic story behind them)
But would be cool to see other sentient little creatures in DRG that are not dwarves
