do you feel positive, negative, or neutral about inaccurate plastic skeleton halloween decorations? like what's going on with this guy's everything?
you may not know this, but I am something of a specialist on amphibian skeletal anatomy, and this… thing is a sin against my entire field.
Frogs do not have ribs. Where is its pectoral girdle? Why does it have mammal feet? What even happened to its hips? Why does it have SO MANY VERTEBRAE‽ And what in the seven hells happened to its skull? Hypertrophy is one thing, but this… this is just lazy. They seem to have decided to give it a beak??? And the nostril is super far back and also somehow integrated into a bone¿?¿?
What in the name of Eru Ilúvatar is going on‽

I love how Tolkien always punishes the men who mistreat women in Middle-earth. For all the evidence of sexism in his work, besides the amazing female characters he does include, fate in Arda always rewards chivalry and punishes sexual abuse.
One of many things that make Aragorn a hero is that he remains faithful to Arwen, even when being pursued by another woman.
One of many things that make Faramir a hero is that he treats Éowyn as an equal and showers her with the respect she deserves.
And both men live long, happy lives.
Whereas the chauvinists have…different outcomes.
Eöl is punished by death for being so awful a husband to Aredhel that she and their son had to flee from him.
Maeglin himself intentionally gets Gondolin destroyed just because he is lusting after Idril and trying to steal her when she is happily married to someone else, and his ultimate kidnapping attempt causes him to end up at the bottom of a cliff.
Ar-Pharazôn’s comeuppance for forcing Tar-Míriel into marriage and stealing her rightful crown is a total wipeout by Eru Ilúvatar himself.
Tolkien really said “Predators and abusive husbands shall never go unpunished.” 🎉👏🏻

"Melkor walked alone in the Void for no-one would dare to follow him here nor he wanted any company. No matter what Ilúvatar said, Melkor knew that only here he'd be able to find the Flame Imperishable, most beautiful thing in his eyes and only it he desired. He wanted to create and create in his own image, not following the plan of Eru that seemed too small and too limiting".

I think, after Fëanor's fiery death, the Fëanorians burned their dead. Which went against the custom of burying the dead among the Eldar.
Burial was seen as the acceptable method of returning the hröa to Eru, to be reworked into the Song. But burning was frowned upon as it disintegrated the body Ilúvatar had given. It was considered a deliberate destruction of His creation.
So Fëanor's act of self-combustion and his followers' insistence on well, following in his steps was yet another act of defiance on their part.
