  • I’m a lefty so this may be incorrect but I think you also want to keep good tension on the paper while you do it. If that’s not a thing, then oops. Sometimes the glide works, the other 80% it bunches up about halfway through so I tend to try a few times then just give up. Also I assume it works opened more because the scissors tend to be sharper closer to the handle where they’re less used, in case that helps anyone figure out the sweet spot. So just do what usual leftys do, make the contact between scissor blades pull together with a good grip, have a nice tension on the paper and push it through slowly. Then get annoyed when it rips after it working once.

    As a joke explainer / ruiner, it’s the misdirection of the punchline makes you think it’s going one way then delivers a line from the movies, which was a joke line. Don’t mind me, I’ve been dissecting language lately to see what make what’s work. I haven’t got as far as I’d hope for living this many years.






  • From reading r/tolkienfans (yeah I know but have been reading for many years till recently) I think I read that Tolkien wasn’t final with the orcs being corrupted elves, it was definitely in one of the drafts though. So can still work but maybe not definite is all. Also I am not sure on the timeline of drafts so maybe that was the last one in his works for them which would make it more likely.
