The Lord of the Rings

I'm only testing this here so as to not mess up the original. My HTML is novice level. Nacky (talk) 10:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Hmm

If anyone can tell me more about the color chart as found here: https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/User:Zana_Dark/Color_Chart I'd like to know where an easier chart is, like with just the color numbers. The cell padding seems a bit off, but I could be super out of it, and is there a selection of fonts to be had? And I'm guessing I can add a fancier background to the body of contents.

I don't see anything wrong with it. But if you want custom colours, just google search "google colour picker", and google will give you a colour-selection tool similar to what you would see inside an art app, and give you the colour code (also known as a hex code).

Yeah I'm ready to give up trying to get this background pic inside the template because it really won't work in 2D. The stretching is off. And I've never really done much html or css outside of stuff like this and even this confuses me. I'm self-taught on coding and so that's why... Nacky (talk) 09:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm also self-taught. I've definetly seen worse, and I probably wouldn't have been able to get as far as you have with this template. Not where my skills lie.. L10nM4st3r ^{ROAR at me!} / _{What my paws scratched} 10:42, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Look at that. It's a nice color. Nice pic. I wish it would go all the way to the right, but something's blocking it from doing that. So far I've uploaded 3 of these same files at different ratios, and still...there's something that we're all doing wrong. I don't suppose the original template author would happen to be around? But look at that - it just blends so well. It's really nice for the half of it that you can see. It's just that other half that's being a bitch! Nacky (talk) 11:08, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you're also losing years of your lifespan over some silly wiki thing. Keep at it, when you finally succeed it will feel great. L10nM4st3r ^{ROAR at me!} / _{What my paws scratched} 13:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

THere's no way that pic is that big. Look at the original file. I tried to make it the size the actual perimeters are, but somewhere in the coding it is expanding it, as a whole, rather than from width and length. I watched some tutorials on yt but none of them really did anything because it's all in div. And it's not silly to me because it does look nicer with the pic. I have the ring-script pic on this page linked, that would serve as something with a better color bg. But I don't know how to get that to working. Nacky (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Life is silly. Which means everything is silly. L10nM4st3r ^{ROAR at me!} / _{What my paws scratched} 21:44, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

We all have our roles to play. I've been collecting silly little lighters. But I want big lighters. The kind that almost handles like a flamethrower. Yes, I think that would be a super fun silly thing to have! :p Nacky (talk) 00:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Looking over this HTML

https://en.uncyclopedia.co/w/index.php?title=Template:Time_travel&action=edit clearly there is a picture file in that, but the coding is way different than this one. Original bg platecolor: #DEF9D5 from the LOTR info.

Background Template

Frodo Baggins

Frodo was is a brave hobbit of the ages. He just had many issues, is all.

The famous Ring Bearer Frodo Baggins of the Shire, is a hobbit who saved Middle Earth. The heroic hobbit never set out to be a hero, or to save anything. But he was talked into it and having a good heart, he agreed with Gandalf's philosophy and being a wizard, Frodo couldn't bring himself to get into a battle of wits with someone much older and much more dramatic. The urgent warnings of doom, dark lords, and horrid creatures consuming all the pumpkin patches, cabbage and tomato gardens and strawberries and cream was enough to send Frodo into hysteria. So effective was Gandalf's eccentric performance that Frodo agreed to leave the Shire, embark on a quest to an Elf Lord's secret meeting and then opting to go all the way to Mordor without having a single clue as to where the hell it was. In a way, though, he did have some kind of last laugh. At the expense of high and mighty wizards, elf lords, and Boromir, he got a notion. After all his hardships of reaching a raging, active volcano just to throw the One Ring into a pool of simmering lava, and on an empty stomach and sleep deprived he decided to kick Sauron's ass and keep his fucking ring. But that was a foolish mistake on his part. His tour guide turned on him for the hundredth time and bit his finger off and kicked his own ass into the fiery liquid below with the damned ring. Naturally his sidekick and gardener Samwise, witnessed this event and that's when Frodo knew that, once again, Gandalf would be the one getting the last laugh. Typical.

Frodo Going Solo

At a very early age, Frodo's parents went on a boating trip, sans Frodo. After a couple of days, Frodo was getting bored of being Home Alone and went looking for them. Apparently they had drowned. It was a tragic twist of fate and even more so when the boat they'd rented was made of pipeweed stalks and glue. The whole thing would have been avoided had the couple not tried to smoke the craft. With nowhere to go, his uncle Bilbo Baggins took pity and adopted him. Frodo had come to live with Bilbo at Bag End after Bilbo had since traveled to The Lonely Mountain to steal a ring from a gnarly creature, steal an Arkenstone from underneath a dragon, steal something from the Woodland Elves, piss off Thorin Oakenshield, almost get everyone killed and come back with loads of treasure and a dark ring that would eventually draw his nephew into a world of unimaginable horrors. But Bilbo was a kind and generous hobbit after all. Frodo knew that his uncle was somewhat of a local legend, and his friend Gandalf was just as legendary. While they broke no local laws, they were known as thieves and disturbers of the peace. They were always suspected of arson if something burned down, and they always had a legion of fans and groupies that hung around, wanting an autograph. Many hobbits would give Bilbo manuscripts and contracts already signed, in case he needed any help in stealing anything from any golden hall or abandoned treasure trove out in the wilds of anywhere in Middle Earth. Frodo grew up being amused by all the stories Bilbo would tell him. He felt honored to be Bilbo's assistant and stage manager whenever Bilbo would tour with his band. They were far more popular as Bilbo & the 13 Dwarves than Snow White & the 7 Dwarves. Each band had hits and a sizable chart presence, but Bilbo's band had the best beats and atmospheric, epic recordings while the latter were mostly Disney type tracks about saying Hi and something about a Ho.

Frodo's Luck

It goes without saying that Frodo came into the world with a touch of rotten luck. Besides losing his parents, and being somewhat of a loner, he would come to inherit Bilbo's ring that would ultimately turn out to be a wildly evil creation, designed to suck the soul out of anyone possessing it and ghosting them in a way that caused aimless wandering in Middle Earth while all power flowed to the ring's creator in which he had plans to destroy the world regardless if anyone was a ghost or not. But Frodo was clueless about all of that, and his soul seemed to stay intact and even after Bilbo had skipped off into the woods on a long trek to Rivendell, he kept Bilbo's ring an extra 17 years without even so much as losing his appetite. But that could be due to the fact that Frodo didn't wear it around. He didn't have much use for it. He wasn't scared of some old hobbit broad, like his uncle was. The ring simply sat in some old trunk in an envelope under some old folded clothes and mothballs. But when Gandalf showed up after so long, he informed Frodo that his ring could be a very significant piece of history. Frodo thought about pawning it but was dismayed when Gandalf tossed it in the fireplace onto a roaring fire. Even when nothing happened to it, Frodo knew the pawn broker would correctly estimate that it was subjected to heat and therefore damaged.

Gandalf wanted to prove a point and he succeeded but then he realized he had more points to prove. Could he entrust a hobbit to be a brazen and brave slayer of the Dark Lord, Lord Sauron just like Bilbo turned out to be a great and gung-ho burglar who stole treasure from a dark dragon? Bilbo had Gandalf's respect as he not only stole from a giant lizard lowlife, but he stole all kinds of trinkets and shiny stuff along the way, like the dark lord's ring, for instance. The old wizard really felt that Frodo should take off and try his hand at impossible missions, since hobbits seemed to have been able to pull off some mighty fine heists and still refused to put on a protective pair of boots.

Frodo's Personal Journey That He Took Personally

When Frodo opted to take the journey that Gandalf had proposed, he wondered how trying to pawn the ring off on the wizard had failed. It shouldn't have. Frodo gave a great sale's pitch, yet it was not to be. As soon as he set out, and having his gardener Samwise join him on his trek, he began feeling the effects of the ring that had never bothered him before. He was getting irritated more often. He snapped a lot. He was in a really bad mood. And this was before they even left Hobbiton.

Frodo and Samwise met up with two more hobbits, one was their friend Merry and one was Frodo's cousin Pippin. They were headed to Bree due to Gandalf telling Frodo that he would be in Bree (aka Blee) where he would give even more advice of where to head off to next. Frodo knew there were places further out than Bree, but he wasn't too sure about going anywhere after Gandalf was a no-show and a man named Strider (aka Aragorn) offered to replace Gandalf for the time being. Strider knew what was up and he was helping Gandalf take the hobbits to Rivendell. Which was better than taking the hobbits to Isengard. But first they had to camp out on Weathertop (aka Weatherturd).

Breakfast, Strider, and the damned Ringwraiths

The ringwraiths acted retarded, of course.

The hobbits tried to inform their new, unelected travel guide of all the things he may have missed regarding hobbits and their culture. Second breakfast, singing about green dragons, strawberries and cream, running around barefoot, and being the world's best burglars and thieves. Of course, Strider was just trying to avoid wraiths and other horrid creatures that were obviously following them. Strider threw apples at the hobbits to shut them up. When they reached Weathertop, he had to go secure the area and gather wood but wraiths had slipped through Strider's laser security set up and as a result Frodo was attacked. He got sick and snapped at everyone but was especially hard on himself for putting on the ring and confronting the wraiths with a barrage of insults and kicking them in the shins. He called them Goofy looking gothic bed sheets and Dust rags that must have been cleaning the fire chutes in Hell. The wraiths were intent on killing Frodo so they stabbed him, but they were all lousy aims. Strider, at that point was doing everything he could to get everyone safely to Rivendell without encountering more waify oil-checking cloths. Frodo, understandably complained all the way. Take me to Rivendell, I've been stabbed!

On the way to Rivendell, the wraiths still hounded the hobbits and their bodyguard. Complaining about everything. The hobbits complained about the wraiths, and Frodo complained about the wraiths and hobbits complaining about everything and not shutting up. Some elf came along to help them get to Rivendell. The wraiths then started complaining to the elf about what the hobbits did to them. What Strider did to them. And about some damned ring that they were looking for. Frodo snapped and almost got down off the horse he was trying to get some sleep on, and kick them around again. He was pissed.

Elrond, Saruman, and the damned Balrog

The major overlord elf king Elrond had a perfect hideaway. When Frodo and the others got across the ford, having beaten up the wraiths that were still following them, Elrond helped them by drowning the foul ghosts into a flash flood that was manipulated to appear as watery horses, chariots, and a long line of Roman tyrants. Reaching Rivendell was easy enough once the fear of heights was conquered. Frodo was immediately given a room and a large bed. There he slept for a week. Elrond and his staff, other elves, not an actual stick of wood, tended to Frodo and stitched up his wounds. They removed a piece of the blade from the gash and naturally commented about the cheap ass shit made in China.

When Frodo was well enough to stay awake for a couple of hours, he was summoned to a council. There they would discuss the Ring. The discussion went off the rails and it was more of an argument. Frodo met some people there. He learned that Strider was really Aragorn. He immediately tried to give the Ring to him and the offer was quickly turned down. Elrond rolled his eyes and told Frodo that Gandalf and he were in agreement with the plan to send Frodo off into Mordor to get rid of the thing. The council all offered their help, but they insisted on keeping their distance while in Mordor, with Frodo having that Ring. And he couldn't stay in Rivendell. That place was like the Martha's Vineyard of Middle Earth. The hobbits weren't going to get to stay. They tried to stay. They argued that Bilbo was staying there, but the elves countered with the fact that Bilbo had a condition. He had a split personality. That it was a rare disease they referred to as gollum face. But it was also on account that Bilbo contributed to the elves and was needed. He wrote poems about other elves of olden days. He sang about elves and their beauty. He would entertain the elves with stories about elves who danced and sang songs, and they would play harps and other soft melodies that would peacefully wisp through the air. After being told of this, the hobbits immediately began packing and told everyone that they always wanted to see Mordor. They set out with other companions who were absolutely on board with heading out and seeing that infamous land, as well. We're all going to Mordor! Yay! They shouted as they bid everyone farewell.
