a post with two points

[dispossessed]

the first of which is +1 tolkien elf! who is not actually the guy from rome/mr. bingley but he needed a pb because icons.

sup ex, kat (ii) here, and this is maedhros from the silmarillion and the histories of middle-earth aka that those books connected to the lord of the rings that hardly anyone reads. all you need to know about him: he's an elf who has red hair, he's missing his right hand, he used to be a prince but then he gave the crown to his uncle and his family did some terrible things for their jewels (this is not a euphemism) so now a lot of people hate him. oh, he's also related to galadriel and elrond, so that should be interesting 8D

point the second! i am back from my slowatus that turned into a full hiatus when i wasn't looking. however, i dropped a few tags on ace's post because i was being terrible at keeping up with them and remembering where they had gone and were going 8( if you'd like to keep something going, just let me know and i would love to pick it back up. but for now i'm gonna work on getting back into the swing of things (yea)

uhh... i'm still on aim at auctumnae and on plurk at autumnae if anyone wants to add me and plot/chat/whatever. AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT.

now back to your regularly scheduled programming ♥

Personally I enjoyed The Silmarillion more than I did LOTR. Lovely choice of character.

[dispossessed]

i did too, which is... probably evident by my character choice alskjdfs

[fintastic]

Exsil doesn't have nearly enough elves. MORE ELVES.

[dispossessed]

COLLECT ALL THE ELVES

[lordofthevalley]

Who isn't Elrond related to though?

/glomps

[dispossessed]

... i was going to say círdan, but apparently elmo is círdan's ancestor and brother to thingol, so elrond is distantly related to him. WOW ELROND. JUST... WOW.

[lordofthevalley]

HE'S A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE OKAY?

[dispossessed]

THE SPECIALEST OF SNOWFLAKES

[heired]

oh hello this is pretty fabulous <3

[dispossessed]

why thank you ♥

[woahwoahawkward]

Man one day I'm going to read the Silmarillion

I swear

Sob. I'm so excited for all this elf drama though, seriously

[dispossessed]

it moves a lot faster than the lord of the rings!! so it's not... okay, no that's a lie there's a lot of characters and that makes it somewhat intimidating. but it's easier to follow than a song of ice and fire.

SO YOU SHOULD READ IT.

heh we will collect all the elves and their drama.

[woahwoahawkward]

And all the people who can accidentally insult the elves

like Alistair

[dispossessed]

sdhflaksd hahahahaha

[studieswaitressing]

[inafadingcrown]

Poor Galadriel won't find this awkward at all. Nope.

Hey, hi. Back from vacation, expect late tags and all my love.

[dispossessed]

SORRY, COUSIN except not really

♥

[inafadingcrown]

SPEAKING OF, what's his canon point?

[dispossessed]

when he and maglor are heading off to nab the silmarils from eönwë, the maia with too many damn umlauts in his name good lord

[inafadingcrown]

jklgajklg There are too many damn Umlauts in general. Damn canons created by linguists

[dispossessed]

ugh tell me about it. figuring out what terms to use is a pain too.
how many words to the elves need to describe themselves and men
i mean seriously

[inafadingcrown]

Currently rereading the Silm and taking notes on just this sort of thing. My family laughed at me, but it's worth it.

[dispossessed]

lksajf hahaha oh good i'm not the only one who does that

[boughtabookstore]
