friendly reminder that not only did crossing the helcaraxe take like 27 solar years, the noldor spent all that time on an ice bridge in arctic winter before the sun even existed ; & as a bonus, people were falling through the ice to their deaths the whole time??
#elenwe & idril fell through even & turgon had to jump in & rescue them? but only managed to save little idril?#so apparently that was a somewhat common occurrence??#on top of possibly dying from starvation or exposure??#also apparently shifting ice?? & the noldor were entirely unprepared for the journey to begin with#bc they'd planned to borrow the telerin ships & considered the grinding ice to be 'impassible' until it was their only option#like literally what the fuck tolkien#every time i fact check myself on this i realize i'm not making artanis suitably traumatized from the whole experience like shIT#☆; ʜᴏᴛ ᴇʟғ ᴍᴏᴍ ( ooc. )#forget anything else in the silm this is the most metal thing the elves did

this just in i love g aladriel & little t hranduil interacting in doriath
#personally i like going with the idea that oropher is celeborn's cousin - probably#the son of galadhon's brother or something? bc it makes him becoming king later less random & weird lol#so then they'd have to interact before she comes to lorien & oropher moves his kingdom farther away. which makes more sense too#baby thran not understanding any reason why he shouldn't like her!! because he's little & she's nice & cousin celeborn loves her#let me dream okay it's precious#cas' timeline makes this possible & i think about it A Lot alndfsldfnk#☆; ʜᴏᴛ ᴇʟғ ᴍᴏᴍ ( ooc. )#i hate a lot of the thran fandom that's cropped up since the movies but i love him as a character do u see my dilemma

Hi! I love this blog, and I hope I'm not being too annoying, but i was wondering what LACE compliant means?
sorry this took me so long to answer!! you’re aren’t being annoying at all, tbh i forget that i’ve never really explained my whole stance on LaCE (laws & customs of the eldar)
basically, it’s…….. this is a separate essay that was written long after lotr or the stories that we see in the silm, & almost none of the stories that involve elves are compliant with the things tolkien later wrote in that essay. like, half of it directly contradicts narrative events. & besides that, LaCE are customs supposedly given to the elves of aman by the valar, which…….. logically means that they had no place in elven societies in middle earth? so the sindar, the silvan, and the avari all would have had completely different customs?
while there would have been some blending of cultures later on in the stories, thanks to the noldor returning to middle earth, claiming that all of the continent’s elves ditched their own cultural norms to adopt those of the noldor, given to them by valar that these elves had little to no contact with, doesn’t really make sense to me?
so the way i view LaCE from an rp perspective is this : the elves of aman (the vanyar, the noldor, and to an extent the falmari) follow LaCE, because they’re the ones the valar gave those customs to, but the elves of middle earth (the sindar, the silvan, the avari) don’t, because they had minimal, if any, contact with the valar & their cultures developed pretty much independently from their influence! & even within that, there’s a lot of room depending on how much characters personally believe in following it! hence my label of “loosely LaCE compliant” in my sidebar!
honestly no matter how you look at things, at the end of the day it’s only a list of customs, & no society only ever has people that 100% follow every social rule. & considering that the essay is, at best, only arguably canon in relation to lotr & the silm, I think it’s really just up to how much you personally want to apply it to your interpretations of tolkien’s world & characters.

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.
BASICS.
NAME. kelli PRONOUNS. she/her SEXUALITY. i’m the biggest lesbian you’ll ever meet TAKEN OR SINGLE. single
THREE FACTS.
ONE. i survive on pasta. TWO. i’m probably going to own like 20 cats when i live on my own it will be unstoppable. THREE. the hobbit has been my favorite book since 4th grade.
EXPERIENCE.
HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?). i started tumblr rp in.... 2012? but i’d been rping in texts & twitter dms for a few years before then. PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED. twitter dms, texts, fb briefly, tumblr BEST EXPERIENCE. writing with cas & karsh, probably!
MUSE PREFERENCES.
FEMALE OR MALE. i write women 99.999% of the time. MULTI OR SINGLE. i’m too ocd to be able to keep up a multi lbr it’d bother me to have multiple muses on one blog.
WRITING PREFERENCES.
FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT. angst & fluff! PLOTS OR MEMES. i keep up with memes better, if i’m being honest, i put more pressure on myself with plots. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES. in between? if i try to keep something short it inevitably becomes long, but if i try to bust out multiple paras sometimes i get stuck. BEST TIME TO WRITE. the middle of the night. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S). pshh i wish.
TAGGED BY. i stole this from my dash. TAGGING. anybody!
