I don’t think that people grasp what it is that they’re actually asking when they tell vegans not to ‘push their beliefs on others.’ This can only be understood as asking us to stop advocating for animal rights and stop speaking up for the victims of animal agriculture.
You can dislike pushy vegans or want to be one of the ‘chill ones’ if you like. But the fact of the matter there is no way for us to just stop talking about animal agriculture or promoting veganism while simultaneously defending animals. What they’re actually asking us to do is to be silent so that they don’t have to feel bad.
Oh you think you’re so mature, huh? Tell me Celeborn’s other name without smiling.
Okay. This is what happened. This is canon, there have been unreliable narrators before and no one can prove me wrong. Tolkien estate can eat my entire ass.
Legolas and Gimli are living life in middle earth until Gimil is ready to pass on and Legolas starts building a boat.
This is the first time the redneck backwoods prince has ever had to fabricate something. He's never crafted a functional object in his entire life and Gimli, from an entire race of fanatical craftsman, watches his elf get into a leaky bathtub and nearly drown in 3 feet of water. In a pond.
Gimli goes, yeah, okay, I guess I can take up another hobby and becomes the first, last, and only dwarven shipwright ever. The boat he makes is the world's first, last, and only Ironside, and it looks like a seige engine. Legolas helps and stands around looking pretty and does a lot of explaining when they show up in Valinor to dock with all the pretty elven sloops in the Khazad-dûm II.

I made a lot of Tolkien related playlists on spotify during the last year to organise my music library, if anyone is interested here they are:
The Legendarium
From the Ainulindalë to the War of Wrath, with an extra mention of the Dagor Dagorath at the end to close the narrative (events in chronological order, mostly metal with some acoustic and ambient pieces)
Second and Third Age, from Numenor to the events of The Hobbit to the full lotr storyline (events in chronological order, mostly metal with some acoustic and ambient pieces)
From the Ainulindalë to the end of the Third Age (events in chronological order, instrumental classical and acoustic music only, including the movies soundtrack)
One Playlist To Rule Them All: a selection of my favourite Tolkien astists on spotify (mostly metal, tracks sorted by artist)
Chill Roadtrip AU: small selection of Tolkien themed chillhop and downtempo
Characters
Eärendil: mostly ambient metal and some acoustic tracks to journey through the stars
Thingol and Melian: Doriath ambient playlist, with some medieval and acoustic tracks, enchanted forest and fae court vibes
Aragorn: acoustic and metal songs for reclaimed kingdoms and long distance love stories
Tar-Miriel: slow and haunted vibes for the Downfall of Numenor, water and drowning themes
Legolas: soft acoustic and folk tracks, relaxing and nature themed with some sea longing vibes
Maglor: metal and acoustic songs for the poorest little meow meow
Fëanor: power metal only for the Spirit of Fire himself
Sauron: mainly black metal, playlist for evil necromancers only
Vibes only
Not strictly Tolkien related lyrics but if you need more vibes I can offer you these playlists:
Cuiviénen: ambient metal to wander under the starry skies
Dreamless Sleep: lullabies for the enchanted forest
Lugbúrz Lo-Fi: dungeon synth ambience for your tower dwellings
Mordor Metalfest: black metal for your evil festival needs
The Party goes on a Roadtrip: epic metal for your epic quest
Sword and Sorcery: ultra epic metal for your ultra epic quest
Songs of Enchantment: soft acoustic folk and fantasy songs to sing in a field
If we’re being honest these titles pretty well embody the plots of the books.
