This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

One thing LotR does very well: lets men show emotions that aren't anger. Frodo smiles, shouts Gandalf's name excitedly, cracks a joke with him, and gives him a hug. That's how you know they're old friends.

I can only tell if men are friends if they share a bicep-flexed hand clasp.

You son of a bitch! 🤝💪

They need to shoulder bump too, otherwise they could just be former colleagues or perhaps two men who met for the first time yesterday.

Maybe an ass-tap just to be certain. A chest smooch couldn't hurt either.

And a solemn nod that sums up everything they both experienced in the 10 years since they last saw each other.

"My man." "My man." (In unison) "Hurrah"
"What are we doing today?"
"We're going hunting. Because we're men. Because we like to do it. Stop being a bitch"
