There’s this one scene in the book, that didn’t make it into the movie and it’s a huge shame, because it’s a fanservice straight from the author:
After that they stopped pleading. Then they took off their clothes and bathed in the river, which was shallow and clear and stony at the ford. When they had dried in the sun, which was now strong and warm, they were refreshed, if still sore and a little hungry.
- The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien
So I tried to at least make a pic of it. I’m sorry, I suck at colours, composition, perspective and having more than two characters on a pic. u__u
And if I ever mention anything even vaguely resembling something along the lines of “I want to make a huge, multi-character and colourful pic with full background!”, feel free to kick me in the head.
Deforestation is important, but this particular image set is bullshit.

It turns out, our planet has an interesting phenomena that some of you may have heard about before called "seasons." As a result, a picture of the earth is only going to be as green as the season it was taken in. An image taken in July for instance will naturally look greener than one taken in January after the majority of trees have shed its leaves, The picture on the left is claimed to be from 1978, but in reality was taken by a multiple picture process by Nasa from June through September 2001, and was slightly edited to look slightly greener than the original. (Source) The second image on the right was taken by Nasa on January 4th, 2012 ( Hi Res). According to Wikipedia, Most of the Deforestation in North America happened prior to 1910. Since then, forest resources have remained about the same, largely due to planting new trees to replace the ones that were removed.

This is a turtle duck.
Reblog the turtle duck.
…
Why?
Because it’s a turtle duck.
Make the turtle duck tumblr famous.
For no reasons other than the fact that it’s a turtle duck.
After I spend a few peaceful and enjoyable moments looking at a lovely and tasteful tumblr blog, I think Thank goodness I went with fandom and porn.
You are a villain famous for “killing” heroes. In reality, heroes come to you to fake their deaths.
Title: Collard: Chapter 12: Eyes Wide Open Rating: PG Genre: AU, master/slave (though we’ve kinda left that behind at this point) Pairing: Roy/Ed Warnings: blood, injuries
“We’re still getting reports from Yousewell that are … somewhat suspect,” Grumman said as he moved his bishop to block the path of Roy’s rook. “But Central doesn’t seem concerned. I don’t think they’ve even read the last two memos I sent.”
Roy took his time considering the board. “The last unit they sent out that way never made it.”
“Yes, and we know how that worked out.”

getting emotional over fictional couples was not how i envisioned my adult life
You head down the stairs to the T to find that the Red Line is gone. It’s just gone. The Orange Line is there, and you could take it, but you are scared of clowns. You decide to walk instead.
You walk 20 minutes from North Station and find South Station. You walk another 20 minutes and find North Station again. You have not turned around.
You find a parking space but as you get another foot closer the parking space is now occupied. There was never any parking space. There are no parking spaces. There is no such thing as a parking space. Cars pull over and blink out of existence.
A chill rolls down your spine. You thirst. You are surrounded by Dunks on all sides. You go in and order an iced coffee. As you take your first sip, it begins to snow.
You struggle to pronounce the ‘r’ in “clam chowder” but it evades you. You choke out an order for anothah bowl of clam chowdah. You can’t remember what an ‘r’ sounds like.
It is a beautiful sunny day, clear and cloudless. You close your eyes. You open them. It is now pouring. A man turns to you and says “haha only in New England.” He is weeping.
You are driving out of the city for the day. You follow the signs that say I93. You follow the signs. You take your exit. You follow the signs. You are now entering the Mass Pike instead. A decrepit hand reaches from the darkness to collect your toll. No turning back now.
