Lots of interesting stuff spread around the 'net:

As the article states, it was much more than just a metaphor, and more of a ‘here’s our current understanding’ thing.

And plenty of people took that seriously IME.

I think that’s probably my favorite piece of yours I’ve seen so far.

Specifically, I like the ‘leaning spire’ effect, which I’ve used on a couple of my own pieces.

Looks kind of like a Bosch, sans lunacy.

Well, I suppose it wasn’t one of the completely miserable trench situations…

Wrong file?

Hey, thanks for contributing!

I’m not a mod, but I like the community and have been posting here a lot lately, hoping to get it restarted.

Wow, impressive comment. Username checks out!

I seem to recall that the death of man was considered a gift, as it was a release from the burden of immortality. Also, that some elves could fade away as a counterpart to living endlessly or being killed somehow. (that’s all before returning to the Halls of Mandos, TBC)

And that dwarves were sort of animated mountainous material, and would return thusly.

I’m not much of a scholar, though. Beyond reading the Silmarillion and poring over the LotR appendices quite a few times, the only other stuff I’ve read is… Unfinished Tales and the poem & short story books that treat upon the likes of Farmer Giles and Tom Bombadil.

I’ve no idea if he worked from a reference photo, but in any case I thought he did a magnificent job capturing the feel of a photo without necessarily being a slave to detail.

Oh, sure. In the sidebar there’s a thread called Welcome to the lounge, and in there is listed another thread called ANIMATED MOVIE NIGHT.

That thread is from the old instance and needs an overhaul, but at least some of those recs should work, and in the comments there are plenty more you can search on. Note that not everything is strictly in the ‘BD style,’ but most stuff is Euro-themed, anyway.

Still, I’d recommend starting with Triplets, an absolute masterpiece:

Btw, I ran in to an issue trying to post to your quotes community, and am currently working on the problem. I’m also still sifting my last “media” folder, which has ~9,000 files, I think. Maybe about 20% are quotes, so I’ll have plenty more to post in future…

I’m mainly vegetarian, but I like meat here and there, at least as my excuse for still eating meat, getting complete proteins and all, yadayada.

Over here, I do love cabbage & potats, and curried gravy. I don’t usually slow-cook my food, but you are seriously making a case of my reconsidering my cooking life. :S

Okay, thanks.
I didn’t mean to be rude, but I’m not totally familiar with this stuff.

Appreciate you explaining. ❤️

I think a lot of it has to do with the US military having a big presence in Asia during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. and still having sizable bases in Japan and Korea. They brought spam with them and it made its way into the local diet from there.

Damn, that’s… kinda heavy. oO

Good memory, my fellow oldster!

Still, from what I’ve researched just now, it was a bigger mix than just that, and not always involving Morgan (or Moreno). So, also involved was-- Lee Chamberlin, Hattie Winston, Jim Boyd, Judy Graubart and some others?

That’s… authentic? oO

And holy shit, did that cat somehow get rabbit feet overnight, lol.

I vaguely recall a saying: “so you wish it, so mote it be.”

And now I’m terrified…

Oh wow, those EC Spider-stories were really cute. (I guess we’re both pretty old, huh? lol)

You know, there’s another EC series I want to post somewhere, but… I’m not exactly sure where that might be. Remember this one, with Morgan Freeman on the left?

Huh, I’ve only been to Österreich, and only briefly at that. (had some great Viennese Schnitzel while there as a teen, would not repeat nowadays as someone who respects my fellow animals)

So… what do you like about N. German cuisine, if you don’t mind my asking?

Awesome work, folks! I’ve updated the info, above.

Yah, that’s the straight story as I understand it.

I’m no expert, but from what I understand, Rosemary was probably just a bit different, like in being somewhat ‘on the spectrum’ or having ADHD, or whatnot. Something which wouldn’t necessarily impede her in life as a fully-realised human being, if her underlying difference could have been understand and respected.

But… of course, that was all pretty much mumbo-jumbo back when she lived. Joe Kennedy might have been a complete bastard, or someone acting in good faith, or some combo of the two. Like I say, I’m no expert!

I never met Rose Kennedy in person

That’s… something I wasn’t expecting to read. Is there a backstory there?
