real talk why do so many fantasy universes think giant spiders are necessary
The sad part is there’s a decent chance a large proportion of them can be blamed on one spider.
The tarantula that bit JRR Tolkien as a child.
He swore he didn’t have a spider phobia and the experience had nothing to do with the man-eating giant spiders in The Hobbit, the even more giant and even more man-eating spider in Lord of the Rings, or the unholy eldritch spider from outside creation that plunged the world into darkness and made literal Satan scream like a little kid in the Silmarillion. Very few people believe him.
Given LotR’s influence in the fantasy genre, there is a high probability that tarantula is the progenitor of even more fictional spiders than Ungoliant was.
wow fuck that one tarantula
life goals tbh?
average fantasy writer’s story has three giant spiders is actually a statistical error
spiders JRRG, whose fantasy stories have over 10,000 each book is an outlier adn should not have been counted
yooo Tucker is black! that’s amazing! is there any canon proof that he is or was it just a cool way to depict him
Its not really stated, but strongly implied in my season 3: Hello, My Name Is Andrew. tucker says his first name is
Lavernius. and when church asks if he’s black Tucker replies ‘does it matter?’ then latter Andy says “Explosive American” and Tucker takes offence.I think the next episode says Caboose says something about Tex then says Tucker is the other black one, and the only other time i think its implied is when Tex beats the teleportation stuff off Tucker Sarge says ‘she beat the black off of you.” and he calls sarge Racist.
I thought Tucker actually said he was black? I’m pretty sure when he told Wash his first name, Wash asked if he was black, and he said yeah, does it matter?
You’re probably remembering a fanfic, dear, there was never actually a point where Wash and Tucker introduced themselves to one another.
Church: “Wait, are you black?”
Tucker: “Does it matter?”
Church: “No, I just figured it’s something I should have picked up on after all this time…”
Tucker: “You know what else you should have picked up on? My fucking first name!”Caboose: “Andy prefers the term ‘explosive American’.”
Tucker: “Are you makin fun of me?!”Caboose: “The black one is Tex, and the other black one is Tucker.”
Sarge: “Wow, knocked the black right off ya.”
Tucker: “That’s racist!”Those are all the scenes I can think of, and I always figured it was more or less confirmed.
Caboose: The black one is Tex and the other black one is Tucker.
Also, this is more background information from the DVDs, but Season 3 DVD specified that his hometown was Detroit, which is like 80% black people. So even if we barred all the in-series stuff, that’s a 4/5 chance.
