As a biracial woman I actually go feral about this because YES.

I'm rereading lotr now and almost done with fellowship, and it's really interesting how Elrond is never ONCE, ever, referred to as an elf (but rather, as a half-elf, Halfelven). not even when boromir is ranting unwelly:

#my elrond feels #biracial elrond is canon #(i suspect it’s also to do with the maia thing as well)#(but that sense of being (not always but often) neither one nor the other and kind of…both but not both)#(also about elrond being The Only One after Elros is gone)#(like yes the numenoreans/gondorians actually have elven/maia ancestry as well)#(see how faramir and deneathor are described)#(how aragorn refers to himself!)#but elrond is like directly directly biracial #anyway I just love elrond #lil the tolkien dork
