@anon - man, what didn't lintamande do. I'm out running errands for the afternoon and not going to have time to go digging up Tumblr history today, but any of you guys in the mood to pull receipts on Linta?

Some days I have normal human desires. Other days I just want to surround myself with opals. Reading Silmarillion fanfic seriously increases the odds of the latter thing.

On the one hand I just read 5000 or so tags of Room of Requirement and it’s great and adorable.

On the other it’s almost 4 in the morning.

alright, frank. bear with me here. you've been really used to me asking you questions recently today. now i want you to ask me questions. got it? go

1) What is your favorite type of flower?

Petunia

(Petunia is a flower you give people, and the way it says "don't take" is supposed to sound like "don't pass me by").

2) If you could make any time travel choice, past or future, what would it be?

I know it's kind of a cop-out because it's a bit like the paradox of thrice-told tales, but I would like to go back a few centuries and live in an age where I'm sure it didn't count as a murder for a while, but that the concept was just barely starting to crystallize. I know it's a silly answer, but it would be pretty cool to make a world where "murder" was an established idea while still being a crime that was so rare that everyone was vaguely shocked at the idea of someone committing it to the point where they just had to pretend it didn't happen any more.

3) If you could have a physical body at any time, and the only requirement was that you would not age, what kind of body would you want?

I'm still undecided about this one, probably a body with the approximate features of my current body and not very much else, or maybe a body with different, slightly different features.

4) If you could be anything right now, physically, what would you want?

I'm not sure which part of me is saying this, but my brain is telling me today that I wish I had two legs.

5) What do you find attractive in a person?

I guess I'd have to say some combination of, like, general attractiveness, sense of humor, voice, appearance (in a way that means not just the body parts).

6) If someone was going to teach you a valuable life lesson, something that will help you understand who you are or who the world is, what would it be?

It's hard to narrow these down to one. Probably something about "don't be mad at people for being in pain but don't be mad at them for being afraid or confused or upset when they're in pain", or maybe "if you feel bad, let yourself feel bad, but don't feel bad for your feelings"?

(Yesterday.)

This world idea is so cool!! (and totally not what I thought from the subtitle; I was thinking like, an AU where the world just is that). 

And aw Maitimo was-not-in-Angband King of the world!

I love the world stuff like - Grieving Prince as a thing and RPF fanfic about him, all the King and Elf stuff being there, and history books, and - just, living in a world where that’s the world. 

Aw poor very clinging Tyelcormo.

(Several of the family members having like, from-other-universes soulmates is :neat: to me.)

I love Imliss and everyone.

Thoughts about personally knowing people stuff.

Immortality getting referred to etc interestingly.

I am so curious about Luthien! Is she still around? Did she get with Beren and if so how did that work out, since they didn't have immortality *then*. Etc.

Totally interested in more world stuff (Timeline type things! Current type things!)

Curious about their what-is-general-knowledge-and-not stuff, and with war being not.

And mm ok getting the general thing that seems to be - Elves can win against Morgoth without like, just someone else coming in and doing if they can *get the Silmarils* (and it helps a lot if they have Feanor but seems to not be completely must-have because grimdarda (though the one there was not working ideally) and Hazel’s Arda (though there they had AU Feanor and more people and more magic). But they tend to have generally needed someone coming in to *get* them.

More enthusiasm about the world!

I should probably go read up on these characters I hadn’t met before. (AJ Cook person with angle name!)
