"Sam is a wonderful rolemodel for your students"

So, part of my stupid busywork summer job involves teaching the first part of The Fellowship of the Ring to disgruntled high-schoolers who don't like to read. Possibly, will be fun when in implementation; at the moment, I'm just watching through endless training videos about how to spoonfeed the text to them. It's all vaguely hysterical. Did you know that Frodo was an unconventional hero, and that the Ring shows us that it's important to not kill people so you end up like Bilbo and not like Gollum? And of course there are no class divisions in the Shire, what are you talking about?

Sigh. Am surviving by consuming hobbit porn. Frodo Hill; or, Memoirs of a Hobbit of Pleasure has been of particular help.

I saw the subject line and thought they meant Supernatural....

Oh god - "Antichrists with Daddy Issues help you understand ... how to alienate people and be oddly sexy."

There are too many Sams in fandom. Too many Johns. I can think of four Captain Jacks off the top of my head.

Alienatin' People? It's a Gift. I'm Very Proud.

No, no, no, of course not. *stares*

WHY DOES NOBODY GET THIS? WHY WHY WHY?!

I am in awe of the fact that people could actually miss it! I mean, even if Frodo and Sam were the only hobbits we ever saw or heard about ... *flails in their general direction*

(Also I love how apparently nobody ever thought to not kill anybody before Frodo? The more you know!)
