Foolish Samwise

Oh hey. Hi. How’s it going? I’m Sam. I don’t really know how other people think of me. Jewish. Vegetarian. Genius. Dumabass. Austinite. Analyst. Critic. Coach. Fan of sports, comics, movies, Lego, and games. My philosophy is that the entire point of society is to help others. That’s the ballgame.

Im glad I saved this before deactivating my twitter and losing my discord where I had posted it

Sam cries out, ‘But you won’t send him off alone, surely, Master?’ Elrond appoints Sam the first member of the Company that will go with Frodo. Sam sits back down. ‘A nice pickle we have landed ourselves in, Mr. Frodo!’ The Council of Elrond is over.

Solomon Deadlock be like

Elrond tells the long story of the One Ring, from its forging in the Mountain of Fire, to its betrayal of Isildur at the Gladden Fields. Frodo is startled to learn that Elrond himself marched with Gil-Galad in the Last Alliance against Sauron, more than three thousand years ago.

When the Space Marines are too woke for you I just feel like you gotta go home, man. There's gotta be a point where you chill.

Elrond leads Frodo into Rivendell’s Hall of Fire. ‘Now at last the hour has come that you have wished for, Frodo. Here is a friend that you have long missed.’ Frodo and Bilbo meet again for the first time since Bilbo’s birthday departure from the Shire 17 years ago.

I’ve got a 3. (My Rabbi has met many politicians through his activism, but I don’t think he’s met Obama directly) (I’ve also got a pair of 4s, one through a certain author friend and another through a twitch streamer I drove to an event once)

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’ ‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ ‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’
