I love the Tindómiel/Undómiel thing not only because Elrond names his only daughter to match Elros’s only daughter (though I do).

And I love it not only because the two names act as counterparts in terms of their relationships to their people: the morning star of Númenor, the evenstar of the Elves (though I do).

I also really, really love it because the morning star and the evening star are the same star: Eärendil.

#they named their daughters for their dad :’)#and i think it’s legit interesting to see priorities there?#in naming i mean #like #2/3 of elrond’s kids are named in the sinda family pattern #from elwing #while elros just went all out and named 2/3 of his for the valar #his firstborn is named for elbereth!! which seems a very elvish (and esp sindarin) sort of thing #they both have a reference to men in some of the names #but elrond does it with his firstborn kids while elros doesn’t until the … fourth iirc?#again: not what you’d assume!#but the daughters get the Peak Symbolism and that’s as eärendil’s heiresses #:))))))))))) (via @anghraine)

I couldn’t do poses for Théoden without one of them being his famous charge on the Pelennor fields. The passage is described as Théoden riding at dawn, looking all heroic and shining golden on his horse Snowmane, so that’s what I went for. The actual pose was super hard!! Drawing that table also took a while. And everything else, too.

Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself?

can you imagine if chickens had the curly feather mutation. they would be absolutely unstoppable

not close enough. those feathers need to look like curly fries. also frillbacks are so much more… functional… and nice. but can anyone explain the actual genetics behind those two feather mutations? are they similar?

Well, here you go…found in Henan province in central China

the bird above is a double frizzle! If a Frizzle chicken is bred to another Frizzle chicken, the offspring will carry too much of the F gene and have very curly, brittle feathers and naked patches. breeding them is not advised
