Gwaihir uses the ring's invisibility and just becomes the wind, putting Manwë out of a job. Then, of course, Manwë would be furious at Mithrandir for giving the ring to the eagles and fires him.
I know that the nitpicking over why the Fellowship didn’t just ride the eagles to fly directly to Mordor has been talked to death, there’s more than enough answers. The Doylist answer is that would stop the whole book from existing, or replace it with a wholly different book all about eagles. The Watsonian answer is that a) the eagles are a noble independent people not a taxi service, b) the quest is a stealth mission and huge massive giant eagles are not stealthy, c) Mordor has air supremacy and the eagles could only fly to Mount Doom after Sauron was defeated and the Nazguls all gone.
But just now, option d) occurred to me: do we really trust the eagles to withstand the ring? If it tempts Gandalf and Galadriel, surely it tempts Gwaihir the Windlord. Do we want to create the Dread Lord of the Skies? He would wear the Ring on his lovely sharp claw! He would fly higher and swifter than the winds of the world! He would build a magnificent nest from the broken timbers of Edoras! He would eat so many people! All elves and men would be forced underground!
Anyway, the roof of my mouth was raw for a whole day after this incident.
Anyone know what a ciabatta chicken sandwich is? It's like ciabatta bread, pesto, tomatoes, basil, and balsalmic glaze? And like, the bread is toasted. Oh, and theres mozzarella too. And you're just eating it, and it's just the most scrumptious thing, so you shove it into your face orifice with little to no regard for safety. And then the bread is super toasty, and you are taking big bites out of it, and it's really tasty, but the next thing you know it's over and the roof of your mouth is bleeding and raw from the sharp, toasty ciabatta bread?
Or is this an incredibly specific experience that no one relates to?
What the other stores do:
Reblogging to remember what is being lost. It wasn't just the Navajo either. The Cherokee and Comanche peoples, among about 14 other groups served the United States. This is Native American erasure. Remember. Please remember them, along with any other groups this admin tries to erase. They are still here, never forget.

Thought my gf cheated on me again so I messed around with her gay brother, but it turns out it really *was* just her cousin that she was spending time with, so now I’m kinda feeling guilty and confused
Is this how a priest in a confessional booth feels… ten hail marys

Never used adobe (big mony), but this list is useful
Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.
