My Brain, Sitting In A Deer Stand, No Deer In Sight: Hey Let's Read Some Fanfic

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.

There was a song in church today that mentioned "three in one" and my silly little brain connected the dots.

So here's the thing: accepting Jesus as your lord and savior cleanses the soul, right?

The Trinity is "three in one".

By converting to Christianity and following Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit, you are essentially getting the best 3-in-1 soap you'll ever see because it CLEANSES (cleans? Whatever) your soul.

And, get this, most 3-in-1 soaps kinda suck; this one is the best one on the shelf.

And for good price too, ngl

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 :)

“I am bride to no man.”

“Then tell me, to whom are you pledged?”

“Death.”

Little bunnies high in the sky

Are safe from emails and jargon.

Little bunnies flying high,

Probably don't know the element argon.

Little bunnies up in the stars

Dreaming and leaping with joy.

Little bunnies looking from afar

And have no fear of employ.

Iconic

the silmarillion as vines

Hera from War of the Rohirrim is aroace. This is canon. She literally says she'll be the bride of no man, and when asked who she's pledged to, she says "Death." Fucking metal. Fucking aroace power move. Fucking icon. That is all.
