The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

You must post a link to said quiz so we can all get our Middle Earth names. I, Emrys, Queen of the Doomweasels, command it.

Here is the quiz:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariannarebolini/which-middle-earth-character-are-you

It just tells what sort of being you are, and then my friend and I spent WAY to long figuring out our names. But it was so worth it.

 

[Emrys]

I'm an evil overlord seeking limitless power and worldwide destruction. Go figure.

 

[GasBandit]

Welp. A lot of that going around it seems.

Which Middle-Earth Character Are You?

You got: Sauron

There’s a chance you might be an evil overlord seeking limitless power and worldwide destruction. Uh oh!

 

[Emrys]

We are shocked! Shocked, I say!

 

[Ravenpoe]

I'm a dwarf?

..

Yeah, that's fitting. But I want to be a tall dwarf.

 

[HCGLNS]

I'm Batman.

 

[LittleKagsin]

Aw, guys!! We can create our own Fellowship!!

....with two Sauron's.

And I have yet to see someone get Man, which is interesting.

"You got: Ent

"You are very chill. The absolute chillest. You’re contemplative, level-headed, and you’d rather not keep up with the fast pace of the modern world. You value your alone time, and it’s not that you’re antisocial per se, it’s just that you prefer the company of trees over people."
I can go with this.

I got human.

 

[Cheesy1]

Which Middle-Earth Character Are You?

You got: Hobbit

You enjoy simple pleasures— good friends, food, and music— in a relatively quiet life. You don’t seek out adventure, but you don’t shy away from it, either, and you’re happy as long as your eating schedule isn’t disrupted.

Yeah, sounds about right.

 

[Emrys]

I got human.

Yay, our token human!

 

[Ravenpoe]

Elf.

I guess I hate the dwarf @Raven

That's not me...

 

[Cheesy1]

That's not me...

 

[LittleKagsin]

Yay Human!!

 

[PatrThom]

I got Elf.

No surprise, really.

[Piotyr]

I'm a human.

 

[MindDetective]

Yeah, I'm human.

 

[Emrys]

Three cannonfodder token humans!

 

[Reverent-one]

Three cannonfodder token humans!

Don't you mean "Tolkien" humans?

 

[Piotyr]

Don't you mean "Tolkien" humans?

Aragorn, Boromir and Faramir.

Dibs on Aragorn!

 

[Chad Sexington]

Sigh. So... I guess I might as well... confess

...

Brace yourselves. I..

i..

I...

I have never read The Hobbit or the Lord of the Rings. Every time I have tried, I have gotten very bored. I found the movies boring and confusing and long. I know I will probably be permabanned for this confession, but I just wanted everyone to be aware of my sins before you let me join in on any kind of Fellowship. I may be a disastrously bad addition.

 

[PatrThom]

FWIW, I've never read any Shakespeare. None.

--Patrick

 

[LittleKagsin]

As reigning Wizard, I'll still let you join the Fellowship. It's okay.

 

[Chad Sexington]

Wow, I'm... I'm just surprised. Like, not even in school? I didn't know that was possible.[DOUBLEPOST=1387310141,1387310088][/DOUBLEPOST]

You're too kind. But if people start giving their family lineages in rhyme, I'm going to raise my left eyebrow in a nonplussed fashion.

In that case, you really want to be Boromir. One does not simply walk into the Fellowship.

Living proof. Right here. Also no Salinger, Fitzgerald, Brontë, nor Dickens.
I guess I must've attended during some sort of curriculum upheaval or something.

Well, it won't be coming from me. I've read Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but my knowledge of Tolkien lore is pretty...scarce. So, yeah, no judgements coming from me.

Since when does going through a book or play in school mean that you have to read it?

 

[Chad Sexington]

Oh yeah, I totally wanna be that guy. I like that meme alright.

Touché

My 9th grade english teacher made us read Shakespeare out loud in class. Even assigned parts. They were like the crappiest play rehearsals ever.

But let me tell you, I do a mean Macbeth.

I have them read along while I play an audio recording. It seems to work much better.

Fun fact: David Tennant was an amazing Mercutio.

 

[Sparhawk]

I got Hobbit. I always get Hobbit.

Ha! I was going to make the joke that Chad should be Boromir because Boromir didn't know what was going on, either. That's why he took an arrow to the knee.

...and 20 other places.[DOUBLEPOST=1387313533,1387313390][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, I'm human? I'm so disappointed.
Unless we're taking Eowyn, then it's all good.

I actually did that in middle school with taming of the shrew. When I did Shakespeare in high school, my teacher would always put a piece of paper on each desk before class that would go over the basic points we'd be talking about. I'd just skip to those sections and read them so I could talk in class.

I didn't read an entire assigned book until the end of my senior year of high school, and that was just because I was in a comic book non traditional novels class.
