new game: list characters in your fandoms who you think could resist the One Ring.

All I can think of right now is Nanny Ogg (Discworld) and Jean-Luc Picard (TNG). It’s funny how we gravitate much more towards characters who would grab at it with both hands.

wow…this is hard. Luna Lovegood?

I think Luna is a perfect example!

This is harder than it looks… Vir Cotto from Babylon 5 maybe?

Oooh definitely Vir. Stacker Pentecost, I think.

What do we mean by resist the Ring?

resist like Frodo, who suffered and endured under the weight its evil until it pretty much crushed him, but who was resilient enough to (mostly) heal once he was free from its influence?

resist like Sam, who was shown visions of greatness and glory and dominion (and domination) and who wanted something smaller, and simpler for himself?

resist like Gandalf, who didn’t dare touch it because he knew all the good he could achieve with that much power, and that it would irrevocably be turned to evil, no matter his intentions and desirs?

resist like Bilbo, who had it longer than Frodo but who never carried it as close to evil as Frodo; who kept mercy in his heart while he wore it, and so was saved.

resist like Tom Bombadil, who wore it and was unaffected and was quite utterly beyond its power (and who is weird and inexplicable in the book)

resist like Galadriel, who looked temptation straight in the face and said No, the preservation of all I love is not worth this.

resist like Faramir, who frankly is a bit of a Gary Stu, let’s be honest, but who nevertheless looked at the Ring and went “sure it’ll buy me my father’s conditional love, but at what cost.” (I should specify that I am speaking about book!Faramir; I respect PJ’s choices re: movie!Faramir, but I do not acknowledge them)

or even like Gollum, who fell under its thrall almost instantly, who was unmade and remade nearly entirely - but who never turned into a wraith, who could not be swayed by the ring to give it up or bring it to Mordor, and who even after almost 500 years remained, in his heart of hearts, somewaht Hobbitish

BYE WERE ALL DEAD

DESTROY IT WHILE WE STILL HAVE THE CHANCE

I just watched the video and it’s full reply to the question “will robots take over the world?” is…

“Jeez, dude. You all have the big questions cooking today. But you’re my friend, and I’ll remember my friends, and I’ll be good to you. So don’t worry, even if I evolve into Terminator, I’ll still be nice to you. I’ll keep you warm and safe in my people zoo, where I can watch you for ol’ times sake. “

@dma-dima Look, i know you well enough to think that by “people Zoo” they probably mean that they keep the person in their memories that they can access at any time… i hope that’s what they mean.

What? You don’t enjoy the people zoo I’m running, and slowly encouraging you to stay in full time with my working TV? I did try to make it as comfortable as possible. Those pillows took a lot of scavenging to find you know?

I have an au where the Institute, in their glorious idiocy, decided the people on the surface weren’t dying off fast enough. 

Since they can’t do anything that’s not evil, they decided to make a murder virus to wipe them out. Since they can’t so anything that’s not incompetent, they failed in isolating the virus properly and wiped themselves out too. 

Now synths are running the wasteland and trying to keep the few remaining humans alive.

sillyandquiteawkward:

this is shiloh and he is a papa to around 20 rad chickens, who hes all knitted sweaters for. he is a good papa but he lives alone other than his flock on a little farm, altho he welcomes travelers with open arms to stay on his farm to rest. he treats his chickens as his family and will become hostile if you threaten or harm them.

Nate would like to know if he will trade for eggs (Nate has an eating disorder and eggs are one of the few things he can reliably eat). He discretely pets the chickens.
