i’m really enjoying all your scythian-rohirrim posts! might i suggest: the blond/blue-eyed thing is either later editing of the original story, or a mistranslation/typo/misinterpretation of “fair” and of “hair with rivers of gold” (gold jewelry all in it and/or shiny -> blond), and so it turns out they were scythians the whole time

Oh sweet! 😀 

Man, the classic “fair=/=blond” dilemma rears its ugly head YET AGAIN

If maia takes a hroa of human and a man eats said body, would this count as cannibalism? Like, a maia has a hroa that has a fully himan genetic makeup, all the proteins in place and etc.?

You’ve come to the right place with this question. 

My answer is: Yes, it counts as cannibalism, since the body being consumed was human, while only the spirit inhabiting it was the immortal Maia. If you eat a natural human body, you’re also just eating the body and not the spirit (at least according to the Rules of Tolkien Metaphysics– obviously their are other interpretations available including some IRL ones that I can’t speak for). 

In fact, I’d call that “guilt-free” cannibalism*, since no one really died and only one Maia was inconvenienced by the loss of a mortal guise. And furthermore, the meat should be entirely free of environmental contamination and probably won’t even be especially gamey since this “human” didn’t spend a lot of time in the wild, eating whatever it wanted. (Er, unless it’s one of the Istari. Then all bets are off– Gandalf is probably wicked gamey and stringy and I don’t recommend sampling him). 

So it should be reasonably tasty as far as people-meat is concerned AND healthy! –Unless the Maia in question was just fudging the details vis-a-vis proteins and whatnot, in which case, I take no responsibility for the resulting “Mad-Maia Disease” or incredible indigestion suffered by the cannibal.

*Do not attempt to exploit this glitch for an “infinite meat hack”; Maiar can only go through so many bodies before they run out of power, and they’re likely to get very annoyed at you well before then.

“When every ‘decent’ person had emerald cosmetics jars and the like littering their palaces.” Ay, I got so jealous from reading that, my wallet started crying.

That is a delightful turn of phrase isn’t it?

is thuringwethil a furry?

Nah; I think to be a furry there’s gotta be elements of wishful thinking, projection, imagination
 that sort of stuff. She’s just a Maia with a bat-form; she doesn’t need to project her personality onto a bat-sona because she can literally BE a bat if she wants. That’s my hot take. 

sometimes your art looks so very lickable but if i lick my screen i know my roommate is going to have questions. also i’m mildly jealous at your ability to draw facial features like noses and snark.

Friend you can always lick the art; no one should begrudge u a little lick now and then, a lick is small and harmless way to appreciate the arts, which come in all the tasty colors. Shhhh. It’s okay, no one’s looking, have a taste. Tell me what the flavor is, I have always yearned to know.

ThĂ», I could blame you for everything, but to be truthful I am just as much to blame for being ignorant of things as well as to things that should have perhaps served as warnings. However, if those were the only things I might have forgiven you or ignored it. Yet, a line has been crossed and I cannot ignore what you’ve done. I cannot ignore that you murder my best friend. To do so would be foolish of me. It’s a line. It’s been crossed. I’m sorry. Farewell, MitsalaumĂ«(daughterxftheseas)

Mitsalaumë,

You made your feelings quite clear when you destroyed the gifts I gave you. This was within your right, they were yours to do with as you please after all– but the message it sent was unambiguous. 

That you wish to sever ties with me brings me no pleasure, but neither does it surprise me. You are a child of the Sea; I have known Ossë since the beginning of creation, and the nature of our relationship has ever been one of contention and vacillation, like the tide.  This parting was inevitable, as much as it grieves me. 

You need not ask my pardon, just as I need not ask for yours. You lost a friend– but he was not your friend only. Celebrimbor and I could have built something truly magnificent together; I am not proud of what was done, but regrets are something one must shoulder in pursuit of a higher goal. I have never lost sight of mine, nor should you– though kinder, easier paths may rise to tempt you off your road.

Dearest ThĂ»– Thank you ever so much for ridding your home of its crab by returning it to *my* current home. The only thing better than constantly being surrounded by tiny, wicked, nefarious crabs, is now having a glass-shelled one not only threatening me with its tiny but terrifying claws, but also the risk of it shattering glass all over my floor so I might slice my foot open one morning. Thinking of you fondly, Lin â™„

Dear Lin,

You’re welcome I love you too. 

Kiss kiss,

~ThĂ»

dear lord Sauron. i would like to thank you for your arms. that is all.

Another unsigned note! A secret admirer? Perhaps. But more importantly, it means someone is sneaking around in the fortress without his knowledge. He tears off a square of parchment and leaves it in letter’s place. 

To our flatterer: No need to thank me– their sight is free, and my gift to all. Meet me at the eastern gatehouse an hour past sunset, if you’d like a closer look at them.

[It’s not so much a *letter*, as a scrap of paper with a great big frowny-face with a sticky-out tongue drawn on it in wax-pencil, and it’s not so much *delivered* as manages to impale itself on one of the nearest dark lords’ pointy-bits. It’s not even signed.]

The note is not signed, and though Melkor speaks fluent frownyface, it seems there is not much to respond to even if he knew who’d sent it. The dark lord picks his nose with the paper and tosses it into a brazier. At least it was useful.
