TIL that in the rest of the world, a “Yankee” is an American. In America, a “Yankee” is a Northerner. In the North, a “Yankee” is a New Englander. In New England, a “Yankee” is a Vermonter. And in Vermont, a “Yankee” is someone who eats pie for breakfast.

it’s like taxonomy – a person who eats pie for breakfast in Vermont is a Yankee Yankee Yankee Yankee Yankee

I’m obviously just ripping this from The Tale of Arwen and Aragorn but he seems to be the kind of person whom anger makes, like, intensely lovable, even when his anger is (temporarily) directed at you—first he gets very Rational, which is punishing, in tolkienverse where rationality almost always points to pessimism, and then that awakens his (self-directed) humor, and then he’s like, bye remember to layer it’s cold out there. I think it just makes him very much himself. and even a little charmingly self-absorbed or inward in a way he rarely is otherwise, which appeals to people who love him. Elrond is one of those characters whose anger is almost an ‘objective’ response to the world, so it’s less frightening and more reassuring for onlookers who have also been briefly exposed to reality, e.g. Frodo… compared to like, Gandalf terrifying Pippin, where Gandalf is looking at Something Beyond, a “should be” rather than an “is”

“It is told that even as Varda ended her labours, and they were long, when first Menelmacar strode up the sky and the blue fire of Helluin flickered in the mists above the borders of the world…” (x)

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed with the insatiable desire to learn. To know astronomy and geography and language and architecture; to recognize each constellation, planet, and star; to speak and understand all languages, be able to decipher ancient Greek and Latin text; to grow my understanding of how the human body works; study the differences and similarities of each religion; recognize the use for each herb and seed and sapling.

I want to better myself, not for fame or recognition or power. I just want to understand.
