[Lord of the Rings | CN Insect demigods] Still don't know what the heck JRR is describing when he describes Shelob but it's not a spider.
Granted she's not supposed to be a real spider.
She's a monster demigod.
(But why is she SQUASHY. That always gets me. Squishy.)
(Squelching.)
(I'm sorry it's sort of fundamental to spiders that they do not squelch.)
(This bothers me beyond reason)
just the juiciest spider imaginable
Oh, God, I had the most visceral reaction to reading that, Nicky.
