Celebrimbor Made A Super Tiny Set Of Elf Armor For His Favorite Forge Mouse, Equipped With A Trademark

Thoughts on this:

Carpe diem = sieze the day

Carpals/ metacarpals = bones in the hand

"Carpe diem" and "carpals" have a similar root.

"Carpe" is presumably "to sieze" and you use the hand, and consequently the bones in the hand, to grab something.

Grab = sieze

Therefore, the carpals are used to Carpe diem.

Hey don't cry. Cut up 4 tomatoes and mix with fresh basil, 4 cloves of garlic, salt&pepper to taste, and a half cup of olive oil in a pan. Nestle 2 blocks of feta in the middle and drizzle olive oil and basil over it. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or cheese is toasted at edges. Season chicken fillets with garlic salt, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper and pan fry. Boil pasta of your choice. Smush tomatoes and feta for your sauce. Dont worry, its yummier than tears.

Learning about Robert e Lee and stonewall Jackson in class today and them dudes lookin a little gay

Teacher talking about how people would make PLATES with them hanging out on them, like girl c'mon.

Definitely not true, but the musings in usa history go a lil wild.

A cursed thought just occured to me and I decided to make you all suffer to

So in Tolkien lore elves are immortal right? After a certain point they don't age and will just keep living, save for the intervention of accidents, illness/poison, or very pointy objects. This leads to a whole laundry list of questions on biology but there's one in particular I want to bite into today(pun much intended).

Teeth.

How do elf teeth work? Because the main issue with teeth over time is that they wear down with use. This is not as much of a problem in modern times, we are spoiled with a lot of very soft easy to chew food, but it's still a thing and historicaly you wore down your teeth alot over the course of your life. Things like smoking a pipe can carve a grove in your teeth where you hold the pipe stem.

And this means that if you're immortan and alive long enough, your teeth will wear down to nothing because elves do need to eat. But obviously Galadriel and Elrond aren't looking like grandmas who forgot their dentures, so elves must have something to solve this.

I therefor present my 3 running theories for how elves keep their teeth:

- The OP Teeth Of Steel Theory

Elf teeth are simply to strong to wear down. A bit boring if you ask me.

- The Elves Are Rodents Theory

Rodent front teeth grow continiously their entire life, it's realy cool. It's also why they're always chewing on things, because if they don't their teeth will grow so long it stops them from eating. This theory proposes elf teeth also just grow forever(this could lead to a extremely annoying habit of elves to grind their teeth to keep them down, but oh well).

- The Elves Are Sharks Theory

Sharks tackle the problem of teeth by simply?

Growing more teeth?

Like they just keep loosing teeth and growing new ones. For elves this could mean that when a tooth gets to worn it simply falls out and a new one grown in, like human milk teeth but their entire life.

This was all writen in about 10min while getting ready for bed, so please enjoy these lovely cursed thoughts while I escape to dreamland :)

Any setting where the elves have weaker booze than the dwarves isn't committing to the bit

Ngl, sometimes I wonder if he likes the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. It's a banger.

sometimes I wonder

what Jesus's favorite coffee is

Does He like doughnuts or bagels

What His favourite video game is

I can't wait to ask Him this

You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.

And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!

So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!

Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.

And I just

I like that.

Yet another day of illustrating moments from my fic instead of editing the last two chapters and posting them like a normal person might do 😇✨

(this is a fun little sequence where Maglor is pouring his heart out into a lament to a tragedy in the general Fëanorian past, as he tends to, whilst the adolescent Estel, aka Elros II — the bane of Maedhros' re-embodied life, smells a business opportunity and starts selling overpriced tickets to local children)
