My favourite fan theory about anything is "Gandalf fucked a hobbit once", as an explanation as to why he's so invested in them. Like several generations ago, purely by happenstance he just happened to encounter a fearless Took lass who decided to Fuck That Old Man and by the powers of supreme hobbit reproduction skills, the natural happens.
So Gandalf just goes "ah well fuck, gotta fix this", somehow makes sure she's arranged an excellent marriage, and pays her future husband a visit like "just a heads-up you're going to have an early, unexpectedly large and supremely excellent child and you are going to be nothing but loving and proud of your firstborn, or she is going to become a very rich young widow whose husband tragically died of a mysterious case of Killed By A Wizard, ok?"
And after that he's been visiting here and there to discreetly keep track of which ones are his descendants, and then after keeping track of all of them becomes too much work, decides to narrow down to the ones he's deemed to take after him (the ones the other hobbits think are weird, mostly) until deciding that Bilbo was his favourite. Probably has zero wizard blood in him by now and Gandalf doesn't even consider the hobbits he's been keeping tabs on as his offspring in any way anymore, it's basically a hobby to him by now.
So any time other Maiar or other immortal races notice him keeping an eye on the hobbits and ask him what's his deal with the halflings anyway, he just shrugs and goes "idk I just think they're neat."
Imagining a Barbarossa handing it's briefcase to a size 1 mech and they're just teetering around trying to stay upright with the Comically Large Ammo Crate in their arms
Imagine paralyzing a Swallowtail by just gently placing a massive box of munitions on the main body and walking away.
Needless to say most 0.5 frames consider a gently-tossed ammo crate a deadly weapon.

gordon ramsay: fuck me, is that a fucking past version of myself? from before i tried the main course? waiter: side effect of the house's special sauce, sorry sir gordon ramsay: jesus christ now he's coming over here gordon ramsay: who the fuck are you, why do you look like me gordon ramsay, ignoring gordon ramsay: god damnit, this obviously didn't happen in my original timeline waiter: sometimes the chef doesn't put enough tomatoes and the time loop isn't perfectly stable gordon ramsay: not perfectly stable love? i know this isn't your fault but this is a fucking paradox! my past self is obviously not going to have the sauce in the first place now, and this version of myself will never come to be! it's unsanitary! please bring the chef here i need to have a word with him both gordon ramsays, in perfect unison, looking at the camera: bloody hell, my notions of causality crushed and for what, some soggy fucking pasta?
my only 'gaming opinion' is that duke nukem gordon freeman doomguy and master chief all live in a big house together with matching pyjamas and nightcaps and they all tell each other goodnight 1 at a time before going to sleep in a big bed

Some Anti-AI banners i made, anyone is free to use them, no credit necessary. Light mode and Dark mode versions.
Art and writing and people’s rights need to be protected, and AI has been used already to steal, plagiarize, and be used to threaten people using deepfakes.
As an artist and a writer, it’s an insult to my craft to see AI “works” along side mine.
Like i said, anyone is welcome to save/put these banners on their blog, or on posts, please just reblog this if you do.
The Shirley Exception
Replaying AC Black Flag and it is hilarious how in the early portions in the game, Edward just stumbles through things and bullshits his way to success having no idea wth people are going on about when they mention Templar's/Assassins an just nodding and going along with it all.
Black Flag really was just about how two ancient and powerful organisations were fucked over by one (1) drunk Welshman who just wanted a paycheck godbless-
