WHY DID PEOPLE GO CAMPING WITH THIS

Because Finwë was probably like “okay so he’s terrifying BUT he hasn’t eaten us YET so really we’re not any WORSE off if we go with him-” and Elwë was like “ACTUALLY-”

Ingwë, in the background, absolutely failing to put a stop to this: christ alright I guess I’m coming too since you have the survival instincts of a concussed lemming, Finwë

celegorm was a goth so intense u can’t see him with the naked eye

Orome, rolling up in the deep primordial forests of Valinor, his head the gaping skull of a massive prehistoric predator, riding a hell-pig, surrounded by dire wolves: *bone noises*

Celegorm, developing a very specific kink: …hm. Hm. Okay. Cool. Cool cool cool. 

More creepy Ainur! Oromë ft. ice age megafauna. 

The elves of Cuiviénen called Nahar a “horse” because they didn’t have a word for Daeodon shoshonensis. 

@vardasvapors I think mentioned lop-eared elves which immediately took hold in my brain, and also worked really well with the cow-ears I usually draw elves with. I decided that elves were like German Shepherds: when they’re little, they have floppy ears which perk up as they get older. So elves with floppy ears probably had some sort of trauma/stress/privation during a critical growth period and their ear cartilage never stiffened properly. 

I think you’d mostly see this in two groups: elves who were young during the Great Journey, and elves who were young while crossing the Helcaraxë. So here’s Idril, who spent a long time with not a lot of food and having her ears forcibly pinned down under a hat to avoid frostbite, and some random dude from the Great Journey demonstrating slightly less drastic droopy ear tips.

This was gonna be Horrible Elves Part 4, but I couldn’t get Angrod and Aegnor in there so instead this is Elf Memes 2: the Sequel to Elf Memes.
