My addition to W.I.P Wednesday:

Nix was staring at Jay and sure he was being obvious but the man wore a fucking crop top tank into work. Now not only were those arms on show but so were those abs. Nix is daydreaming all the things that cool pool up inbetween that definition. He blinks as those hands pat the bar in front of him.

"Anything catch your eye than me this evening, pretty boy?" Jay asks and Nix chuckles eyeing the man more openly now. He hadn't really been very interested since he saw Jay that night at PRIDE. Sure there were plenty of people but Jay was both built and yet soft and it was interesting in ways no one else had managed to match.

"Like anything could with as much skin as your showing. I wanna touch... But I know the rules no hands past the bar." Nix sighs holding up his hands and pouting as he looks over the man's midrif.

Above is a beautiful way to explain the sheer changes we see in the story relating to how the elves are. And also... @villain89. This helps explain a lot for your story I advise on. And why I get mildly irritated at points.

Silmarillion Elves vs LotR Elves

I actually really like how there’s such a difference between the view of elves we get in the Lord of the Rings and that which we see in the Silmarillion. Like it’s such a meme, but at the same time I think it says something really interesting about the elves themselves.

Basically, they changed. And for immortal, mostly changeless beings, that says a lot. And the way I read it, they realized their mistakes from the First Age and made an active attempt to do better.

When Galadriel is tempted by the Ring, I wonder if she’s thinking about the how the desire for power, vengeance, and the Silmarils screwed everyone over in the F.A. I wonder if she’s remembering that the ring was made by Sauron - who, if we remember, captured and killed her brother Finrod (and at least indirectly killed her other brothers as well. And I think it gives her comment, “I pass the test” a little more background when you think about it in terms of the Silmarillion.

Elrond yelling “No oaths!” at the Council (over Gimli’s somewhat understandable confusion) makes a lot of sense given the F.A. He saw, firsthand, that oaths get everyone killed and also destroy continents.

And I think it gives more context to the overall cautious nature of the Third Age elves. Frodo mentions an old saying, “go not to the elves for council, for they will say both no and yes,” which is not particularly flattering to them. But it makes a lot of sense if they’re still somewhat traumatized by the Nirnaeth, the Kinslayings, etc, that they would be hesitant to give definite answers or advice.

Look at how badly we messed up in the past, I wonder if they’re saying. Don’t take our word for this. We don’t really know what we’re doing either.

Basically I love the idea that the reason the elves seem so wise and peaceful and generally Good in LotR is because they actively tried to change the way they did things after learning from their prior mistakes. It’s a lot more nuanced than “Elves are just good because they’re elves and all elves are good because they’re magic and special and superior to everyone else.”

Things the Fellowship has argued about

What name to call Aragorn

What name to call Gandalf

What to call their meals. Boromir thinks, if it is eaten at dinnertime, regardless of whether it is the first meal of the day or not, then it is dinner. Sam thinks it isn't proper to call the first meal of the day dinner. Aragorn suggests they combine the two words but now everyone is fighting over whether it should be called breakfast-dinnner or dinner-breakfast. The fight nearly becomes physical

Whether Legolas or Gimli is winning their daily argument with eachother

If hobbits are regular sized and everyone else is really big, or if everyone else is regular sized and hobbits are small

The same as above except with horses and ponies

If Gimli's beard is real or not. This one started as a joke between Merry and Pippin but then Legolas saw how mad it made Gimli and so continues to bring it up

Inter-hobbit fighting about whether it is called pot-ae-toes, pot-ah-toes, or taters

"Can Legolas really talk to trees, or is he just fucking with us?" Aragorn and Gandalf refuse to weigh in on this

Whether the Ent-draught caused Merry and Pippin to grow or if they just did that on their own. This fight is Pippin vs. Everyone Else

Whether the non-hobbits of the Fellowship would be Tooks, Brandybucks, or Bagginses. This argument is unintelligible to most of them, although Gandalf has the knowledge to be offended when Pippin suggests he would be a Took.

"What would happen if someone ate the ring?"

Fights over whether the elves, the dwarves, or the hobbits tell the story of the reclaiming of Erebor most accurately. Even though Gandalf was there, he just shrugs when anyone asks him

Which variety of pipeweed is the best kind. Merry threatened Gimli to a duel over this one

Who gets next watch

As a Tolkien nerd can confirm this is the sheer level of nerd panic we undergo when wanting to write.

The extremely Silmarillion fandom urge to consult a map, a timeline of the first age, and 3 different geneologies because you had a fic idea.

"Look Immortals? They have very, very, VERY specific ways to kill them. Most are basically torture until they give up said immortality so they can die and eacape. Me? I'd just need a really nasty sickness. Like eldritch footfungus or something. Amortal just means hard as hell to kill not nearly impossible! Honestly, you lot call yourselves adventures yet can't distinguish that?"

You are amortal, not immortal, most don’t know or care for the distinction but the two conditions could not be more different

If my fic has made you cry please send the tears they sustain me.

If you can’t think of anything to say about a fic, writers also like to know:

- what time it is

- how long you’ve been reading

- how many chapters you’ve covered in the last 24 hours

- what you were late for because you were reading

- the woeful few hours you have left to sleep

- the emotional outbreaks you’re experiencing

- the inappropriate place you’re having said outbreak

- the general public’s reaction to your outbreak

- how much phone battery you have left
