Fëanor's host experiencing history's first scurvy and the elves collectively assuming it (with everything from glee to outrage) was a valar-sent plague, until Eärendil shows at valinor with like. so many lemons. says he learnt the hard way

back to middle-earth month 3/6/26 | 2010: the last battle | the great sea | “God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.”

But Ilúvatar showed forth his power, and he changed the fashion of the world; and a great chasm opened in the sea between Númenor and the Deathless Lands, and the waters flowed down into it, and the noise and smoke of the cataracts went up to heaven, and the world was shaken... ...But the land of Aman and Eressëa of the Eldar were taken away and removed beyond the reach of Men for ever. And Andor, the Land of Gift, Númenor of the Kings, Elenna of the Star of Eärendil, was utterly destroyed. For it was nigh to the east of the great rift, and its foundations were overturned, and it fell and went down into darkness, and is no more. And there is not now upon Earth any place abiding where the memory of a time without evil is preserved. For Ilúvatar cast back the Great Seas west of Middle-earth, and the Empty Lands east of it, and new lands and new seas were made; and the world was diminished, for Valinor and Eressëa were taken from it into the realm of hidden things.

I'm thinking yet again about mega flora and fauna in Arda

In my head Arda has huge version of every plant and animal + species that don't exist irl

I've mentioned this before but I like to the trees in some parts of beleriand are so massive that they stick out of the water after the sinking and have their own ecosystems! Probably not possible scientifically but Arda is magic and thus to me several species (animals and plants!!) Survive and adapt to their new aquatic lifestyle

I love to think Ancalagon's body still sticks out of the water too, and the spear Earendil used to kill him is still launched in the skull!! I also hc that when sailors pass Ancalagon they often throw flower crowns onto the spear

I also hc that several species of plants actually grow on Ancalagon's bones (again probably not possible irl but beleriand isn't irl) and fish and other aquatic animals feed on Ancalagon for a long time (like a whale fall!!)

Oh I'm thinking so much about this, it's consumed me; I'll make a whole post on it eventually lol
