Reader Complaint: "Why Are There So Many Pictures Of You On Your Site?"



Dutch, I read your blog all the time (and all your other blogs), and I love them. However, I have a question: Why all the pictures of yourself? I mean, one or two would be fine, but you seem to start every other post with one. Just thought I'd ask.

—Anonymous Elf-woman from Lothlorien*


Anonymous fan, here's the answer:

I actually don't. Check my blog again. I think you're confusing some fictional characters for me. For instance, here you can see a photo of someone's face. Note that that person has a thin beard and brown eyes, neither of which I have. In fact, this is Aidan Turner as the dwarf Kíli.

Another example: At the top of this post is someone who closely resembles me. But it's not me—I don't have black, curly hair, and the person in the photo lacks a unibrow. This is obviously Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides in the new Dune movie.

So, you have been confusing me with characters from LotR, The Hobbit, and Dune, all of which I write about often. Don't be embarrassed; this happens all the time.**






*If you didn't immediately understand that I have never gotten such a message, now you do.

**In all my life, I have never been mistaken for any of those characters. If I need to spell it out for you, this post is satire. This means it's a joke.
