I started thinking about the fact that Elves have survived so many significant climate changes etc., and that their bodies must be really adaptable (it wouldn’t even be evolution, more like a string of major modifications)… it was a slippery slope from there to ‘coming up with horrible ideas that I don’t want to sneak into my headcanons’.
(I wrote them down anyway, but I’m not sure if I should post it.)
well maybe if adoption was more accessible to single parents and lesbian couples, witches wouldn’t have to go haggling for people’s firstborns
*Historian voice* in a monarchy with a small central government and little to no welfare provisions for its predominantly rural population, witches resignedly became both social service and foster parents; confiscating children from parents willing to barter them away for a prince, or a particularly interesting lettuce. In this essay I will
I had a lot of fun making up their design! For some reason, I just can’t imagine Oromë without the antlers! Thank you for the request; hope you like them!
Hey all you Humans are Weird writers- why haven’t any of you written about how an entire generation is still defensive over Pluto’s loss of planetary status because we all collectively packbonded with a planet.
PLUTO IS A PLANET DO NOT FUCK WITH ME.
“Human Steven.” Shrax timidly approached, mandibles nervously caressing one another.
“Yeah Shrax?” Steven looked over from his station.
“I was wondering about your home star. Records seem… inconsistent in how many planets orbit Solaris.”
“Oh, yeah, it was debated a bit back in the day, but it’s eight.”
“Fuck you Steve! There’s nine!” Frank yells from across the room.
“Pluto’s only made two and a half revolutions Frank! It’s to small and barely caught in Solaris’ gravity! It’s not a planet!”
Continuing to actually scan and post art I’ve been working on…
Aman Dance Party #2: Fingolfin and Anaire. I tried something new with the underpainting this time, and it was astonishingly successful in getting the flowers to have the kind of glowing effect I wanted. My feeling is, if we poor mortal humans have managed to make glow in the dark plants, the Noldor can definitely have biolumenescent magnolias if they want.
Nolo, you will notice, unlike some brothers he could name but won’t, has actually dressed for a party. His taste in fashion is a bit more conservative than his wife’s though; I have a feeling the sleeveless thing is more On Trend, as it were. He wasn’t meant to be quite so blue, though– I have a general tendancy to try to not draw Feanor in all red or Fingolfin in all blue, because that feels cliche to me. My scanner, however, has a deep seated vendetta against the only real true purple marker I have, and often renders it kind of blue, which I always forget, so here we are.
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries.. It was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.
Mechanically-produced lace wasn’t really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality of mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
