The different genres of Doctor Who episode:

ya ever look up at the full moon and think, yeah, I get why werewolves do that

from appearances tech is mostly guys sitting on Teams saying that’s really weird because it SHOULD work

these need to be together

Fuck that post going around saying "you can have coffee in your story without justifying it :) you don't need to explain everything :)" I want, no, I DEMAND a fully researched ethnobotanical paper on every single food item in your work, if you don't explain to me where did potatoes come from in your fantasy setting or don't explain how the industry of coffee works over interstellar distances with full detail you are doing things wrong and I personally hate you and I hate your stupid story, fuck you

Why are your stupid little wizards and knights eating potato stew in your dumb European middle ages fantasy world. Where did they get potatoes from. Where is the center of domestication of potatoes, do you have a fantasy Andean civilization? What are the social and economic consequences of having such a calorie rich crop in cold climates. I don't care about "themes" or "enemies to lovers with found family", I didn't ask about that. Where does your idiot space captain gets their shitty coffee from. Is it imported from Earth? Are there coffee growing worlds? Is it an alien species replacement with the same name? What are the social consequences of that? Don't try to change the subject, I'll stop pointing the gun when I want, I'm trying to have a conversation here,

Sort of ironically for this post, I don't think Tolkien ever did establish where potatoes came from in Middle Earth, or why there are potatoes there. LOTR was supposed to be a kind of ancient European fairy tale, his in-universe introduction to the Red Book claims that it is the story of a time long past, presumably in the past of modern-day Europe, and there's no land analogous to the Americas in it, unless you go with the fan theory that Aman is the Americas. He carefully does not include any New World crops in his story, except potatoes, which are mysteriously present in the now-famous Po-Ta-Toes scene with absolutely no explanation for their inclusion.

Yeah! Tho isn't 'Pipeweed' Tobacco as well?

It's true, pipeweed might be tobacco. There are a number of things about Hobbit society that don't quite fit with the time period that the story is supposed to take place in.
