In what ways are you absolutely the stereotype?

Not recent but at one point during my uni life I was a brown international student, studying computer science, and working at a call centre as a part time job. The fact that my parents are doctors made it that much worse somehow.

Well, I’m a software developer who knows way more about science fiction and fantasy than I really should, and if you get me drunk I’ll probably tell you all about how Sauron is an ainur and therefore didn’t actually die when the One Ring was destroyed - since the ainur can’t die - but he did lose all his power and henceforth existed perpetually as a powerless and intangible shadow…

And when you wake up, I might still be talking.

And here I thought he was Maiar.

Oh, he is. The Maiar are “lesser Ainur” in Tolkien’s cosmology. They’re “of the same order as the Valar but of less degree.” “Ainur” is kind of an umbrella term, the way “angel” is in Christianity.

Melkor, now known as Morgoth after being cast out, was once a Valar, but his cruelty and evil make him the foe of all of Arda. Mairon, a Maiar of Aulë, actually started down his own path of evil as a lieutenant of Morgoth, becoming Sauron.

Sleepy yet?

No, and I already knew all of this. Spend some time in jail with the Silmarillion, and you’ll know all the names. 🤣

I’m a non-binary, vegan, theatre school drop-out. I dye my hair a new colour every couple of weeks, my main means of transportation is a bicycle, and I’m currently unemployed but my last job was as a barista. Oh and I’ve read some Marx unironically.

I’m basically a right-winger’s caricature of “a goddamn librul”.

Anti social nerd who just wants to be left alone to do his job and go home at the end of the day to play video games.

I’m like this but i’m not anti social enough to be among the anti social nerds (usually just tired of dealing with people’s nonsense, like the: stuffs 3 pizza’s in his face and watches me eat a cookie, now blames the entire universe for him being fat and has no understanding why i’m skinny type of bullshit) and for some reason i’m not good enough at games to be liked by fellow gamers and lack the “addicted to video games” factor where they stay up until 2am to play video games and be less than useful during the next work day, while i went to bed at 9 after playing games for 30 minutes instead of 6 hours.

My employers love me tho, but never enough to pay me a decent wage, with the exception of one that is now shut down.
