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.

One thing LotR does very well: lets men show emotions that aren't anger. Frodo smiles, shouts Gandalf's name excitedly, cracks a joke with him, and gives him a hug. That's how you know they're old friends.
I can only tell if men are friends if they share a bicep-flexed hand clasp.
You son of a bitch! 🤝💪
They need to shoulder bump too, otherwise they could just be former colleagues or perhaps two men who met for the first time yesterday.
Maybe an ass-tap just to be certain. A chest smooch couldn't hurt either.
And a solemn nod that sums up everything they both experienced in the 10 years since they last saw each other.
"My man." "My man." (In unison) "Hurrah"
"What are we doing today?"
"We're going hunting. Because we're men. Because we like to do it. Stop being a bitch"
It always makes me tear up. Fantastic films.
Conversely, the worst film I've seen in recent years must be the third(?) fantastic beasts film. I still have no clue what actually happened or what it was trying to tell. It was such a jumbled mess, and them changing out the actor of the main villain for the third time didn't help much.
Yeah, if made in last 10 years, they might have turned Aragorn into some kind of Conan the Barbarian ripoff. Not necessarily, for example, RDJ’s Iron Man has a lot of complex emotions and nice arc. But, they could. I mean, look at Galadriel in Rings of Power.
Iron man came out it 2008!
I'd rather not.
By "Rings of Power" you mean the tumblr fanfic that Amazon decided to adapt? I'd rather not.
