I've been reading 'Lord Of The Rings' and apparently, Gollum was once a normal man, but wearing the ring drained him of his youth, energy and any joy in life...

Dude. The literal quote for the ring is ; One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Tolkien was the OG Red Piller.

....... I had a ring like that once.

How did you miss that? It was in the book and in the movie.

Made him invisible, too.

I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean (the one with mermaids) yesterday and started to think about all the different mythological beasts depicted as women.. Harpies, mermaids, medusa etc. Mermaids are especially fun, first they seduce you, then they fucking eat you :D They have also been associated with drownings, shipwrecks and storms. Guess people in ancient times understood what women truly were when they made these myths and creatures.

Just a funny thing I thought about.

The entire book is Catholic allegory.

growing up I thought of these as more of jokes than reflection of reality and now it seems like the opposite

I read the books years ago when I was younger, even then I understood it's true meaning.

That's what happens when you're married to "Precious"!!!!!

I wonder what Master Chief would do with the ring.

...I never saw that before.

Very nice spotting!

Gollum was Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk and he was originally known as Sméagol.

Other that that, your ring theory checks out.

My fuking ex used to ask me to dress as a hobbit to have sex... she already had the fake ears from her previous ex. bitch...

Way ahead of you, been seeing this parallel long ago ... a ring forged to enslave mankind ...

But I never managed to formulate it in a way that got any upvotes, so thumbs up!
