Dungeon Meshi - About Beauty

eepy in dungeon

[halftametigers]

when people ask me what i love about lotr i can't quite explain it in a normal way. its not the wizards and the dragons and the wilderness. its not the frightening thrill of moria, or the glory of helms deep. its not the ethereal magic of the elves or the pride of the growing civilizations of men. in fact out of every fantasy setting it is to me the most innocuous, the most irrelevant because what i love about lotr is the love. its the humanity. the hope. it is about goodness and fellowship. it is a manual on how to live right, with your friends by your side and your songs in your ears and a constant reminder that the best thing about going anywhere is coming home

i am the cause of all your peoples pain and suffering because our kind were enemies a lifetime ago and now i care for you and everything else too despite how i tried not to. or something

A Braid even Dwarves could be jealous of.

Thanks to @iknowwhyulikeoscarwilde for recommending this one! Legolas with a Rapunzel braid is just fun, and Gimli not knowing whether to die or jump him is even funnier.

In my head this is a spring solstice celebration shared between Mirkwood and Erebor, it’s just a competition to see who can show up and show out between the two kingdoms lmao.

Gimli believing all the absolute lies the dwarves tell to make elves seem crazy. Legolas believing and the lies told about the dwarves so they seem crazy.

So when they become friends they are genuinely confused. Gimli wondering why Legolas didn’t pop out of a tree when he was born. Legolas wondering why Gimli doesn’t grow rocks out of his ears.

Dungeon Meshi Daydream Hour - Race Swap

[arlenianchronicles]

I saw eldritch legolas and the first question that came to my mind is how does he do all those stunts and stuff with what seemed to be heavy robes

I sort of addressed that here, but I'd also love to say that Legolas is just built like that! XD

if fantasy dwarves are supposed to live underground they should be able to see in the dark, like cats, and they should have eyes that do the thing

and the other thing

The night before the battle.

Dwarves in the Lonely Mountain: build fortifications, put on armor, choose weapons.

Meanwhile, Bilbo and co. in Thranduil's camp tent:

Humans sometimes wonder what separates them from other races like elves and dwarves and orcs, like what makes them unique. Some people say humans are generalists, some people say we're the most adaptable. But actually there is something that stands out about us that all the other races find super weird. Humans are the only sentient creature to reproduce sexually like animals do, and because of that we're the only species with romantic or sexual attraction, and ideas like sex and gender.

Elves and dwarves create new members of their races slowly and methodically, like works of art. Harpies, angels, demons and dragons are all individually and personally created by their gods. Orcs and goblins are spawned from spawning pits on mass. Merfolk come close with how they lay and fertilize eggs, but even then any individual merfolk can both lay eggs and fertilize, and they don't meet when they do it. Vampires and other undead are spawned from other races. Fae just sort of show up.

So the idea of having sexes, and genders constructed around them, and sexual and romantic relationships is all incredibly weird for other races. Most humans don't notice it because they just naturally assign members of other races genders when they meet them.

Diffrent races have diffrent ideas around these constructs. But most of them find it some level of confusing. A lot of them just ignore it. But it's really disturbing for some, romantic relationships seem like weird bonds that can't be explained, like some sort of unexplainable and volatile connection. Sexual attraction seems like some dark animalistic instinct. Gender is incomprehensible, and also seems wrong and immoral to most races. And sex itself seem like the darkest of any reproductive ritual or magic. Because of all of this humans who don't experience some or any of these things often have an easier time connecting with other races.

This has also lead scholars to belive that humans are the only sentient race to evolve naturally. Something often thought impossible before studies on humans occurred.

Hot take of the day: elves fucking eat meat. Of course they fucking do. They hunt. Dwarves are the vegetarians. Or like mushrooms and tubers or whatever.
