This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I never finished the Silmarillion, but from a synopsis I read, he was defeated first, then the ring was cut from his hand.
Yeah, aside from the numerous armies lost, includijg dwarves and elves, ~1000 years of fighting, it took two literal kings dying to defeat him, Gil-galad and Elendil. But, Sauron was also defated. In the end, Isildur showed up and chopped off his finger and took the ring.
"gg2ez" - Isildur
Gil-Galad and Elendil both being Big Fuckin Deals btw, particularly Gil-Galad.
Keeping in mind that a lot of First Age/Second Age stuff is less a matter of crude physicality and more about spiritual strength.
Okay, thanks
