The fact Maglor lived to be older than all of his brothers, his father and grandfather combined makes me profoundly sad.

lazy summer afternoon.

#the sims 4 #ts4 #ts4 render #sofia #kip #guiding lights #hmm i can't believe it's already beach time #just the local cryptid chilling with his lovely wife #nothin' to see here #also i've been staring at this thing for five hours #i still hate it #beachbabes2022

Actually, I think "maedhros ends up being found in random mountains" is a premise we can go further on!

So Gollum and his precious fall into mount doom, triggering an eruption, and guess what???? One of the forming cracks has an inhabitant!! How would that even work survival wise? That's not my question to answer, I'm here for nonsensical hypotheticals!

Minas tirith could also be a potential candidate, I'd go with they found him while digging the family crypt, gives it a nice flavor :)

Ohh, there is another mountain we know of! Gollum's sweet home in the goblins basement would be such an disorienting and impractical place for a guy to get freed of his eternal grave by Rockslide!

And there's gotta be more mountains on the map!

#maedhros #lotr #is any of this making sense? no #i am very tired and burying my metaphorical ken doll in dirt makes me giggle #imagine your group just saved middle earth and THE kinslayer just pops up #how do you even handle that? #id imagine tensions would be running HIGH af #but on the other hand maglor is kind of just doing his beach cryptid thing and i assume people are fine with that??? #oh no maddy crawls out of the dirt only to learn that even if his family is willing to take him back they are literally on the go #back to valinor #sad :(

September 26 2022 - Jake The Alligator Man!

Hello everyone! Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for your support on my last post! I apologize for my absence, got a bit too busy to post, but I'm hoping that two posts today will make up for that!

Secondly! A disclaimer:

This cryptid has been disproved and is nothing more than a tourist trap. That said, it's very personal to me and I wanted to talk about it. The next post today will be about a genuine/non-disproven cryptid!

TW///// Dead Animals, Taxidermy, Pictures of dead Animals (Mummified, non-graphic)

//////

Okay! Time to discuss our friend Jake the Alligator man!

Jake The Alligator man is a "Cryptid" and tourist trap located in Long Beach, WA, in Marsh's Free Museum. Jake is a half-monkey, half-baby alligator mummy that was sewn together at the waist to give off the appearance of a half-man, half-gator mummy. He was acquired from an antique store in 1967 for $750. I could not find any evidence of where he was from originally, but considering his relation to other tourist traps like the "Fiji Mermaid" (future post?), it's likely Jake came from some sort of travelling circus.

His story (lore? Background?), coming from the Tabloid Weekly World News, is that he was a "Half-human, half-alligator discovered in Florida swamp". Jake has been a very lucrative and successful attraction that calling him a "tourist trap" feels disrespectful, even if technically true.

All-In-All, Jake the Alligator Man holds a special place in the hearts of many Pacific Northwest Residents (Including yours truly), and despite his dubious origins, He will always be our alligator-man-monkey-thing.

Jake The Alligator Man! That seam job is... A for effort guys.

My own personal Jake sticker!!

okay but like. we know elrond cannot die, but since so much of the story is changed and elrond IS near celebrimbor now, we all agree to prep our pitchforks and torches in advance if sauron so much as HARMS A SINGLE (short) HAIR on the sweet sonboy's head right?

#beach cryptid maglor would appear himself to yeet mr mansplain manipulate manslaughter #this celebrimbor can go die im sorry idc abt him #but i do care abt elrond #IT WOULD BE ON SIGHT #the rings of power #rings of power spoilers #the rings of power spoilers #tolkien

I’m listening to Pirate of the Caribbean soundtrack and now I am imagining Maglor in a Bootstrap Bill style, with ragged clothes full of seaweed, kelp in his hair and barnacles growing on his face. And he’d just wander the coasts eternally, muttering something like “part of the doom. Part of the cliff. Part of the doom. Part of the cliff.” Again and again.

the lore on tolkien elf biology is very...

if you know, you know.

#but i'll ramble about it in tags anyway #uh so i was refreshing on bearded elves #AND!
