#Because it's like “Arda's round too wtf does that have to do with my sight???”

[eowyn-igneelcheshire]

Would Legolas be able to see as far in this world as he does in Arda? Because if you think about it, Elves are only able to see so far because- on top of their already incredible eyesight- Arda was originally flat and became round but still appears flat to the Elves. Earth on the other hand was never flat- so would the whole "the world looks round for everyone else but flat for the Elves" thing still apply? Or would they just be seeing everything in 4k all the way up until the curvature makes it impossible to see any farther?

#Personally I prefer the idea that Elves wouldn't be able to see as far on Earth #It would be the funniest thing #The fellowship ends up in our world #And Legolas immediately has an existential crisis at not being able to see as far #He just fucking panics #And starts trying out different glasses because he thinks his sight has just gone to shit #And completely loses it when none of the prescriptions work #And then someone explains he just can't see as far because the Earth is round #And he's just staring at the person explaining it like #?????? #Because it's like “Arda's round too wtf does that have to do with my sight???” #I don't think Legolas knows that the world's flat for elves #or more accurately #I think it'd be funnier if Legolas doesn't know the world's flat for elves #I just think there's more comedic potential #lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #tolkien elves #legolas #the silmarillion #tolkien #lotr headcanons #theories #lotr theories #middle earth #arda #tolkien tag
