30. Ungoliant

"With their whips of flame they smote asunder the webs of Ungoliant, and she quailed".

@Oeneus I, for one, am quite thankful that those fellows aren't organized.

#shelob #ungoliant

A typical thought chain from me:
"Two energy drinks, protein, and fruit for breakfast and I still have cobwebs in my head that would make #Ungoliant jealous."

"Someone pointed out that Ungoliant is never explicitly a spider; it is just inferred from #Shelob."

"... I am not awake enough for this level of #Tolkien discourse."

"'I am not awake enough for this level of Tolkien discourse' would be a neat t-shirt, which I could quite often wear, honestly."
