Hard to swallow pills (for tumblr):
A species that lives entirely underground would have little reason to have melanin, especially if they live primarily around a climate similar to England and Europe in general, especially because lighter skin allows for more vitamins to be obtained when there is less sun normally, this is why non-europeans and non-east asians are darker, the sun is more ínstense and so there’s need for protection and less need to take in more vitamins.
Any added character to Tolkien’s canon does by definition break canon, because the story then has to be changed to accommodate them. Any Beardless dwarf or short haired elf also applies, because of the pre-established culture of each race, and so the culture has to be augmented from what was written by Tolkien to accommodate.
Elves as Tolkien wrote them had long flowing hair because they saw that as beautiful, and the Dwarves never shaved. In addition to the melanin thing, the modern elves make no sense.
Middle Earth was inspired by European mythology, and so has European characters. It features non-europeans from far off lands, like the Harad of the south and the Easterlings of the East, but overall it makes sense as to why the characters are light skinned (I say this as a Mestizo). You shouldn’t cast Christian Bale to play Malcom X, nor Awkwafina to play Robert the Bruce. Same as you’d cast dark, straight haired mestizo (or a fully indigenous Nahuatl speaker if you’re lucky) to play an Aztec or a Mayan.
Grogu is a cutsy piece of bait to get you to watch mediocre shows and distract from the shit sequel trilogy. Star Wars is now just colorful garbage and Din Djarin is (and always has been) a different breed of Gary Stu than Rey, but still such none the less, a plank of wood with all of the “super kewl” items that people know, like Yoda’s species (formerly tridactyls), and the darksaber.
Star Wars and Star Trek, and soon Middle Earth, are being lost to the Normies, and the only way to preserve the original fandom is to make sure you keep an iron grip on your original copies of the series and of Tolkien’s work, to prevent the Heirs from allowing editing.
The people here clap for the most basic shit imaginable, like Din Djarin holding his hands up from a droid about to shoot him. Despite the fact that his opinion on droids has been aboit as stable as a wet noodle, and this isn’t even his show.
Tumblr has not improved as much as you’d think since the exodus, but instead simply infected other sites with its exodus.
Modern Writing, relies now so heavily on the fans making the character traits for the writers, that characters like Din Djarin have exploded in popularity, despite being planks of wood.
Now, I’m leaving this stupid site to learn to write properly, so I can rebuild where Disney and others destroyed, and I’ll laugh as their properties continue to plummit and the Normies slowly fade, to find a new nieche to make into a trend, only to find its fandom wiser, and gatekeeping the fuck out of it, and see peace be restored.
