Hi all,

Anyone who read my post yesterday regarding Frodo viewing calculus: I've deleted it because after I talked to a friend I realized I was being pretentious and jerkish. I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention, and I'm in the wrong here.

If you want to hear more about why that joke bothers me I have an elaboration under the cut.

Families of Middle-earth arwen >eldarion + sisters< aragorn

she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. ..she said farewell to eldarion, and to her daughters, and to all whom she had loved; and she went out from the city of minas tirith and passed away to the land of lórien, and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came

How about that. Legolas gets the passive pose and butt-shot, while Tauriel gets action pose.

I found this website, called BetterMyths.com. It’s an English major, retelling myths from the world over in a modern, comedic style.

There is a Silmarillion section.

The titles alone are to die for. I reproduce some of them here, because your mod loves you all and needed a good laugh. If you...

I’m pretty sure Thranduil just made up that entire love triangle in The Desolation of Smaug to mess with Tauriel. Legolas isn’t in love with her. He’s just being his weird self.

"Hey Tauriel what’s going- Tauriel? Tauriel? why are you talking to the dwarf? I’m just gonna stand here awkwardly and look on…”
