what do we think about J. R. R. Tolkien's seminal essay "On Fairy Stories"? do you agree that escapism is good?>I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which “Escape” is now so often used: a tone for which the uses of the word outside literary criticism give no warrant at all. In what the misusers are fond of calling Real Life, Escape is evidently as a rule very practical, and may even be heroic. In real life it is difficult to blame it, unless it fails; in criticism it would seem to be the worse the better it succeeds. Evidently we are faced by a misuse of words, and also by a confusion of thought. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home?>https://coolcalvary.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/on-fairy-stories1.pdf
>>24826317She’s going to be kidnapped and raped and forced to father mixed race subhuman children in squalled living conditions under threat of extreme violence by some spic or mudshit or nigger or pajeet in the near future. Assuming she isn’t to old at that point and is not just enslaved or exterminated by marxists and barbarians.
>>24826317THOTSI suppose though the Hobbits were kind of happy pagan good life pleasure seekers so perhaps short stack jiggly is in keeping with the theme.>>24826366You have a bigger problem than her.
>>24826366>forced to fatherIt turns out they didn’t hate us for our freedoms at all. It was purely seething envy of our qt elf futas.
>>24826394>I suppose though the Hobbits were kind of happy pagan good life pleasure seekers so perhaps short stack jiggly is in keeping with the theme.
>>24826430>gives several of his children the names of his Hobbit friends>Doesn’t name a single child after one of his non-hobbit companions, even the one that died.The subtlety of Sam’s Chudness really tickles me.
>>24826366Why do leftist turn their diabolical beliefs into their fetishes? Multiculturalism has failed, we'll begin to see it reversed within this generation.
>>24826317she's fat
>>24826519Yeah in the right places
>>24826399I know that's what I've been angry about lo these 20 years
>>24826430>names a kid for his boss' wack ancient uncle>no mention of the actual save the world niggasIt is good.
>>24826451>>24826571i guess it's just too weird names for a Hobbit, like calling your kid Jamal as a white guy just cause you played basketball with a great nig
why does she have such big tits? and what the fuck is a random elf woman doing at a hobbit home?
>>24826757she settled down...
>>24826771Those tits aren't settling at all, they are very mobile.
>>24826744If Jamal was a bro, taught me how to shoot sideways, saved us all from zog, and became king of Africa, then yes, I would absolutely name my son Jamal.Sam is a grade A based chud.
>>24826757Probably one of those riverfolk. Very short, but elf like ears
>>24826961why does she have such big tits?
This board is awful.
>>24826968Just healthy woman
>>24826994I know plenty of healthy women that dont have tits that big. I fear she must be cheating somewhere somehow
>>24826317>tfw no tolkienslut gf
Imagine you're scourging the Shrine with your ruffian bros and these four little fags show up decked out in epic-level gear and they just absolutely shit on you.
>>24826394THOTTENTHOTS
>>24826980Every 4chan board is terrible, unless you are here for repetitive ragebait or porn.
>>24827001I mean the corset is probably doing a decent bit but that can only go so far
tolkein argued for escapism because his livelihood depended on the success of his publications
>>24826744Elanor the Fair is hardly a decent name for a hobbit. My guess is that Frodo suggested this elvish name. Once he was gone, Rose insisted for her next kids to receive proper names.
>>24826317Retarded whores GTFOMB
>>24826317Sabrina Banks>>24826366And white women will look the other way the whole time, if the rape is ever prosecuted a white woman judge will let him off easy because it didnt last long enough
>>24826959>taught me how to shoot sideways, saved us all from zog, and became king of AfricaI chortled
>>24826317Why is this webm so low quality?Also>Broad nose>negro lips>weird eyes What kind of mutt is this?
>>24826959Give me time
>>24827267He did.>'Well, Mr. Frodo,' he said. 'I'm in a bit of a fix. Rose and me had settled to call him Frodo, with your leave; but it's not him, it's her. Though as pretty a maidchild as any one could hope for, taking after Rose more than me, luckily. So we don't know what to do.'>'Well, Sam,' said Frodo, 'what's wrong with the old customs? Choose a flower name like Rose. Half the maidchildren in the Shire are called by such names, and what could be better?'>'I suppose you're right, Mr. Frodo,' said Sam. 'I've heard some beautiful names on my travels, but I suppose they're a bit too grand for daily wear and tear, as you might say. The Gaffer, he says: "Make it short, and then you won't have to cut it short before you can use it." But if it's to be a flower-name, then I don't trouble about the length: it must be a beautiful flower, because, you see, I think she is very beautiful, and is going to be beautifuller still.'>Frodo thought for a moment. 'Well, Sam, what about elanor, the sun-star, you remember the little golden flower in the grass of Lothlorien?'>'You're right again, Mr. Frodo!' said Sam delighted. 'That's what I wanted.'
>>24826571>the actual save the world niggasYou mean Samwise and Frodo?
>>24827452Those are not signs of a "mutt"
>>24826317I don't really care about whether Tolkien was right or not about escapism, but I really like On Fairy Stories because it lays forth a lot of the fundamental philosophy behind his writing
Aristotle believed great art truly capable of moving peoole had to be at least a partial mirror to reality, all art is but the further the writer tries to shave off our lived reality and the more unbelievable his story gets the less emotionally impactful and grand it is. I can give Tolkien a genreshitter pass because his characters are quite realistic and I really enjoy the ideas he tries to convey through his story but ultimately if he saw what the genreshitters on this board constantly praise about escapism and art as a means to flee to another world instead of one to cope and relate to this one he would be extremely dissapointed. Escapism hurts the soul in a fundamental way but since he's british and possibly autistic I wouldn't take his views on literatuse and art particularly seriously
>>24827834that's a long dog
>>24826980OP chose to post tits. They could’ve gotten a half decent discussion in response to their prompt but they made the conscious choice to post tits. I have read the lotr, the Hobbit, and the Simarillion so I’m confident that whatever OP wanted to talk about I could have contributed to that discussion but I didn’t even read the prompt because booba. 10/10 prompt. Jesus Christ those giant bouncing knockers
>>24829395the video is lore-accurate, not sure where's the problem
>>24826757It’s where she hides her gold
>>24826317Magnificent big fucking tits!
>>24826317She looks so retarded
>>24826366Thank you for your opinion on Tolkien's work.
>>24830968i know, i love it
>>24826744There are latinos naming their kids Shohei as we speak.
>>24827235Tolkein argued for escapism because he lived through the horrors of WWI and it clearly haunted him for the rest of his life.
>>24828213for you
>>24827235Tolkien was a professor in a university, not some peasant like you, he didn't depended of free gibs
>>24826980These clowns try to pass as intelligent and intellectual but are just a bunch of simpleton fools, it is a comical relief
>>24831121latinos are insane with naming, Shohei is very tame compared with the atrocities they commit against any rational language
>>24830986Lmfao
>>24830968Yeah, it's awesome. Need me a woman like that.
