Is hilarious to think that Hurin was watching all along.

The King in The Castle of Otranto, the ghost in The Phantom of the Opera, the Monk in The Monk did exactly the same. Gothic is intrinsically incel fiction.

I feel like a faggot for using spoilers because >reading for the plot, but that guy said he just downloaded so I will, but that part where Diver is getting cucked is so well-framed and so well-written to be long and drawn out that I was legitimately getting angry while reading as if it were happening to myself
