This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I have to ask, what spontaneously caused the internet to love the lord of the rings movies? For decades after they were made, only occasional jokes about unhinged 20 hour directors cut binges. Now? Frequent jokes about 20 hour directors cut binges, and endless sincere compliments. They’re good movies, to be sure, but the shift always seemed inorganic to me.
Inorganic?? I mean, I don't quite get Star Wars, but I don't start doubting people's devotion to the franchise. LOTR is huuuge and genre-defining. I'd still sit there and watch for 16 hours straight if anyone asked me to.
