Funny thing that I ended up reading the silm,because I was in a time "jackson legolas obsession" and I spend much time in pinterest looking for fan arts,and a lot of pictures of a💫 pretty elf whit red hair💫start to hunt me,I didn't know who the fuck he was,so i looked "red headed elf" ahhaha and there was a picture that said "Maedhros from the silmarillion" and I looked for what was "the silmarillion" and I was like "OH IS A BOOK FROM THE SAME THING THAT THE MOVIES OF LORD OF THE RINGS AND THE HOBBIT,AND THAT PRETTY GUY IS THERE,GONNA READ IT😁👍" (yes I read the silm only because I liked the movies of Jackson and for Mae,the first book of tolkien I read) and then i ended up traumatized,depresed,and leave myself sad for the rest of my life T_T. Story time
Another thought (actually the reason I got on lead poisoning in the first place): Did the elves use metal in Cuiviénen?
There are three… three and a half? options here:
No, not at all
Yes, but only metals found in mostly-pure "native" form, chiefly gold, silver, copper
Yes, they'd invented smelting
Yes, they'd also started producing alloys
The argument against smelting is that it doesn't really fit with the one-with-the-world, pastoral vibe of Cuiviénen. Smelting takes a lot of fuel (axes! oh noes!), it often produces toxic byproducts, it's kinda (shudder) industrial. On the other hand, on Earth it developed a very long time ago it's not the only kind of early material culture production process that gets icky… (Tanning, prominently, but you can use hides without tanning them if you maintain them carefully so that's not necessarily present.)
Most important teaching the Valar offered: the cheat codes to engage in metallurgy, tanning, etc. without poisoning themselves and their surroundings? Or you could say the elves already knew how to get metal to do what they wanted without all that.
𝜗 — asistencia al evento la ha tomado como algo obligatorio, como algo que tiene que hacer para ubicar nuevos contactos si es posible -aunque cree conocerle el rostro a cada persona de aquella ciudad para entonces. tal vez es por eso que, cuando alguien osa a sentarse frente suyo cuando está organizando su agenda para la semana entrante en su teléfono, le cuesta despegar la mirada del mismo para detallar a compañía ' buenas noches ¿te han ubicado acá o...?

gurisas son unas hincha huevos quejandose de que quieren que las marcas de bases coreanas hagan tonos menos blancos, y sí, el estandar de belleza que tienen es de Casper el fantasmita allá no van a hacer ochenta mil versiones para un mercado de diez nenas en occidente que les gusta el kpop, van a hacer las que van a vender más en su país, no te afecta en nada no poder comprar 1 base de 1 marca de 1 país de las ochocientas millones de marcas que hay en el tuyo, compren maybelline o no usen nada y no rompan más las pelotas
