Gollum self justified murdering Deagol after the fact. Bilbo spends the rest of his corrupted days blaming Lobelia. Bagginses! Sackville Bagginses! We hates them! We hates them forever! They stole it from us! Our precious....spoons.
Lobelia is even seen as a folk hero by the people of Hobbiton after the scouring of the shire because she literally spat in Sarumans face.
I never thought of it this way, but it all fits. Lobelia did nothing wrong, Bilbo was influenced by the ring.
Seems like actual viking burials were....burials...I'm no expert but skimming a few Google search results makes it seem like the burning ship thing never really happened, or at least rarely. Most vikings were ritually buried with weapons, grave goods and sacrifices. The burning boat thing is a Hollywood invention from a Thor myth maybe? Anyway this is why it's not allowed in most places, you'd need a professional to administer it with as you say a specially constructed ship designed to fully create a body. Your family can't tie together some logs and burn you themselves. So we're right back to an expensive funeral industry, but now we get to witness the cremations outdoors so maybe a win.
In the books it's very explicitly tobacco. However in the movies it was clearly meant to be psychoactive, if not actual cannabis.
Either way sign me up for that organic Hobbit grown middle earth smoke.
I meant every member of every union in the country, myself included. I've been to pickets that beat scabs for crossing. You think it's no big deal but even saying that shit actively hurts workers. Try some class solidarity.
Doorways cause memory loss, whenever I'm going to a different room for something I say it out loud as I pass the threshold of the doorway.
