What role does validation play in one's mental health, and what are the pros and cons of social media in this respect?

    Validation is their way of figuring out that they're "normal" or a good human being.

    1. They're afraid of being an outcast + they're anxious that they can't take care of themselves
    2. They don't know what is "right", so they rely on others to tell them that what you're doing is "right"

    Social media crowdsources the feedback that you did this right, you did this wrong, etc

    I think that's a very difficult question to answer. But if you want to be as close to foolproof as you can, consider researching prior cases, such as that of Vanilla Ice and Ed Sheeran.

  • *Frieren* could pave the way for a LOTR epilogue story. Tolkien famously abandoned his own *New Shadow* sequel because "proved both sinister and depressing". In a Frieren-like hypothetical story, even if the downfall of mankind from the heights of Aragorn's Reunited Kingdom is inevitable in the grand scheme of things, we can explore the little details of early Fourth Age Middle-Earth from the eyes of an adventurous hobbit at a time when the War of the Ring is a collection of stories from the previous generation. What do you think? Alternatively, a *Yuru Camp*-like with a Silvan Elf protagonist could work.

    Do you want to read paywalled news but want to bypass the paywall? It's similar. Only difference is depending on who you ask, they like one and dislike the other—or it's like punching up or down.

  • His early abdication is his answer to the massive trolley problem he was facing: hold fast to Numenor's traditions and ways, but run the risk of giving away Middle-Earth to Sauron and have him go after Numenor anyway; or help resist Sauron but expose the Numenoreans to later corruption. Either way, Numenor is doomed in the long run, but Tar-Meneldur acted by his conscience by yielding to his son who knows more about this matter. The events that transpired is according to Eru's plan, ultimately.
