vardasvapors replied to your post: HOW does canon Finrod react to small human…
…..exactly what does this imply about elf babies…….
answer a
elf babies are slim and eldritch twig-toed creatures that slide out of their mothers long as cats. they eat little and smell of fog and have ears like aerials, always rotating, absorbing every mote of sound around them. for the first several years they do nothing but absorb and say nothing at all. they are bald and hairless as carrots. after some years they begin to speak with alacrity and insight, and grow hair in great waterfalls all the way down to their feet. their ear extensions fall off and leave behind the leaf shaped appendages of adult elves. their pupils settle and their eyes pick a hue; they stop emitting mist and begin to eat normally. their toes are still long.
answer b
elf babies are quite a bit like human babies. finrod is a good-hearted bachelor prince who has never had to care for a baby or change a diaper in his life and shits from tiny bottoms are things that happened centuries ago in a distant land under the care of diligent nurses and are now, like infants themselves, utter mysteries to him.
Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.
the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.
albino plants are basically vampires.

Why did I make this?ALRIGHT so once upon a time somebody asked @misbehavingmaiar what their Melkor and my Mairon’s relationship would be aaaaaaaaand I would say that this is it.
The two of them LOVE luxuries and sparkly shit after all, and I can just imagine them spending time together, gossibing, talking shit about people they don’t like,
discussing Sauron’s beast of a cock, drink wine and eat sweets together.Not only claws would be filed, but you betcha Melkor’s thorns would be filed, polished and painted as well. All parts of Melkor are important after all.
Melkor has little amethysts on his hair towel, while Mairon’s just embroidered with gold thread, and while Mairon wears a robe that is way too luxurious for function MELKOR IS TOO LUXURIOUS FOR ROBES AT ALL CUZ FUCK Y’ALL
I’m just drowning you in art at this rate senpai am so sorry XDGET BETTER SOON FRIEND @theotherwesley

this makes me smile so much, thank you babe! ❤ ❤ ❤
Greek Gold and Garnet Bracelet, Hellenistic, 2nd Century BC
The most distinctive feature of this bracelet or armlet is the treatment of the outer surfaces of the hoops. Decorative elements are covered with a delicate network of filigree created by placing parallel rows of wire in a zigzag pattern and dotting the points of contact with granules. This unusual decoration is best paralleled in a few exceptional works from Thessaly. It is a rare forerunner of a popular kind of Roman bracelet featuring twisted hoops and hinged box settings decorated with gemstones.
Hellenistic Gold & Cloisonné
Necklace, 3rd Century BC
This fine gold necklace, dated from the early Hellenistic period, is made with a ‘loop-in-loop’ technique, known only from this era. Its chains of warm reddish gold are constructed of twisted double-figure-eight links. The center part of the necklace is adorned with three oval cloisonné settings containing blue glass gems. A wonderful example of the use of bright coloured glass in ancient jewelry. The necklace is wearable and still has the original closure.
The Wolf God of Argos: Apollo Lykios
One of the most famous and magnificent buildings in ancient Argos was the sanctuary of the wolf god, Apollo Lykios. It was for this reason that the people of Argos chose the wolf as an emblem for their coinage, an instantly recognizable symbol of the great city.
This coin is a silver triobol struck in Argos circa 270-260/50 BC. The obverse is the forepart of a wolf with a Θ above its neck. The reverse has a large A, a monogram to the upper right and an eagle standing on a harpe below, all within an incuse square. The harpe was a type of sword or sickle; a sword with a sickle protrusion along one edge near the tip of the blade. The harpe is mentioned in Greek and Roman sources, and almost always in mythological contexts.
