Ao3 Turns 15 Today

Hey, you know that movie "Gunpowder Milkshake" on Netflix? Tell me why it's was so kidnap-dads coded. Like:

- new parental figure killed/disposed of the child(ren)'s parental figure(s) (third kinslaying/ Sam kills Emily's dad)

- child(ren) goes through terrifying circumstances with new parental figure (hanging out with fëanorians, watching Sirion burn, etc.../ seeing her dad's corpse, helping kill people, being kidnapped)

- child(ren) dislikes new parental figure after a Situation, only to forgive the new parental figure later (E&E definitely hate M&M after Third Kinslaying/ Emily learns that Sam killed her dad and did not like that)

- end of generational trauma (M&M try to be good parents in a war zone [not saying Fëanor and Nerdanel were bad parents]/ Sam helps create a loving, safe environment for Emily so that she won't have to kill people)

- child(ren) is kidnapped no less than one time (self-explanatory)

Kind as summer, gender-bent Luthien in physical description.

Okay Tolkien fans name your favourite character without giving their name.

I'll start: Has such bad daddy issues that he fell for an obvious lie, ended up dangling by his wrist for a long while, then made a someone turn into a bird over some jewellery. Oh! and Kidnapping. Can't forget the kidnapping.

Isildur is Elrond's, like, a gazillion times great nephew

Facts to share with new Tolkien Fans who are watching The Rings of Power:

Currently (within the timeline of the show) the earth is flat.

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.

Does anybody have any good Silmarillion Kidnap Dads fanfic recommendations on ao3? I just don't want any russingon. Fourth Age stuff is appreciated.

Comment any fic titles with their authors if you wish to offer!
