Spoilers For Rings Of Power S2, Ep5!!

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

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 :)

Yall. I just finished reading "Castle in the Air" and it was SO GOOD!!!

(Spoilers)

Like Howl is the genie, Sophie was Midnight, CALCIFER WAS THE CARPET, and I just Loved the cameos!

And little Valeria 😭 She just kept screaming, and it was HILARIOUS when all the princesses were like, "Go on girlie, bawl, weep, scream, cry, KEEP MAKING NOISE!" And by goodness, did Valeria SCREAM

And the Strangian soldier was Prince Justin??? Bro just can't catch a break 😭

And little Morgan---he didn't appreciate being a human baby after being a kitten, poor guy. And HOWL CALLED HIM UGLY it was GREAT

And the way the king of Ingary just made two new positions for Abdullah and Flower-in-the-Night is great!

King of Zanzib: I want to kill Abdullah for marrying my daughter!! 😡😡

King of Ingary: oh no no no no no, my good sir! He now has a position on my royal court!

And the way the princesses planned to show Abdullah to Hazruel 😭😭

I can only imagine it went like:

Beatrice, princess of Strangia: okay dude, so you need to take your clothes off--

Flower-in-the-Night: hey now that's only for me--

Princess of Tsapfan, covering Valeria's ears: there are LITTLE EARS in the room!!!!!!

Abdullah, very Confused: I need to take my clothes off????????????????

And Sohpie was describing Howl and Abdullah was like, "why would you say those things about him???" And Sohpie was like, "bro I'm DESCRIBING him, that's just how he is."

Like all in all, 10/10, very good! I love Dianna Wynne Jones's writing style!

When you have to WRITE

And you have to CREATE

And you have to TYPE

But your fingies need to move faster than your brain and you CAN'T

My brain, sitting in a deer stand, no deer in sight: hey let's read some fanfic

Me: okay, then

My brain, after three minutes: hey what if Finduilas was Trans and became Gil-Galad for her transition. Because she died. "Finduilas" would be her dead name. It can be assumed that Turin was out of his noggin when he saw her "death", and just assumed she died.

Me: crack ideas to think up NOW? When my fingies are cold and I can't type well on my phone?? Really????

My brain: and can't the Peredhel Choice also be kinda trans-coded? Like choosing man or elf? Male or female characteristics? Something you already have---chromosomes (X/Y) or man/elf genes---but have to choose?

Me: I AM LITERALLY SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING FOR DEER RIGHT NOW, NOW IS NOT THE TIME

And guys, I don't even think Gil-Galad is trans (I think he's ace/aro, don't judge), but I just think this concept would be really funny! And I also don't think the Peredhil are Trans, but I like making connections!

The way I am literally eating a yummy potato soup right now is INSANE

i love how you can feel the nutrients entering your body when you eat a really good soup

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
