Revolutions always come around again, that's why they're called re-volutions

HAPPY LAST DAY! ;D

In the apocalyptic Tolkien/every mythology ever/2012 theory crossover fanfic I never ended up completing, today would have been the day when illegally returned and be-Silmarilled Fëanor gathered with all the people who were willing to face the armies of the Valar, Maiar, Eldar, Æsir, angels and their opponents whom he could reach on short notice - i.e., a bunch of LARPers who just thought this would be a nice Yule battle LARP - in Bielefeld.
To actually face the armies of the Valar, Maiar, Eldar, Æsir, angels and, of course, their opponents.
And then tell them to f*ck off and go play somewhere else because the people of the Earth actually liked their planet and probably wanted it to go on, on the whole.

I don't know how he'd actually have enforced that demand. I always hoped that an idea would come during the writing. Perhaps it would have. It would have begun with Fingolfin - still considering himself bound by the "Thou shalt lead and I will follow" promise - and his friendly Noldorin army switching sides. After that? I don't have the foggiest.

At any rate, it would've worked. So there. Called it. (How original. :P)


Of course, the reasonable people among us know that just because a calendar ends doesn't mean time ends (or every 31st of December would be a cause for great distress). And 2012 theories haven't been fun anyway ever since Roland Emmerich went and made a lousy movie about the end of the world (but I didn't know that back in 2002, of course). But I still liked the idea of that story.
(Probably more than I ever would've liked the story, if I'd actually gone and written it at some point during the LAST 10 YEARS I MEAN THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.)

Anyway, Happy Last Day! *cranks up the REM* Rather, for juno_magic, who is right as usual!

(Question to the Romanists among ye: Is "gene pool" really "piscina genética"? BWAAAHAHAHAH!)

Anyone else planningo n running out on the street in a few hours crying "He did it! The Doctor saved us all!"? No? Just me then? Okay...

If I lived in a more populated area, I'd actually consider adopting your plan. As it is, nobody is going to hear me anyway. But have fun! :D

Yes. "Gene pool" could be translated as "piscina genética". But since pool in that sense does not refer to an actual pool but more of a group of genes, then one could more accurately say "acervo génico/genético". I remember that we used to say (in a very horrible spanglish) "pool génico".

That's what I was confused about! To my (admittedly small) knowledge, a piscina was first and foremost a pool for swimming... XD
In German (at least as far as popular science is concerned - no idea about actual science) we say Genpool to this very day. Nobody ever bothered to translate the "pool"...

Feanor can save the world in Bielefeld the next time the world ends. After all, it seems to end all the time!

Well, but it has to be a year with a) a Venus transit (the next one's in 2117) and b) Olympic games (if those are still on, definitely not in a year with an odd number). ;_;
