@SuperCee@plush.city @mawr @missbird I will place the blame squarely on the Makeup, Costumes, Lighting, and the DoP. There was A LOT more love and work that went into those movies than just pretty white men getting to have their NZ vacation video taken.

@mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird Eragorn wasn't Elvish though. So, Blood of Neumenor seems more likely. Unless Legolas was more kinky than reported!

@kelseyhusky @SuperCee @missbird
Aragorn was only totally having a fling with Arwen -- you don't think Arwen might've given him a more princely pretty-look boost after the war to help her chances with convincing her grumpy agent of a father to let her throw her life away over him? :3

@mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird Arwen didn't care what her father thought. He was gonna leave on the Elf Bud Party boat anyway.

@mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird Also, she likes him looking like a person who works for a living instead of a prettyboi trustfund twink her father would've liked. Aragorn is her way of rebelling against paternal authority.

@kelseyhusky @mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird except except remember he's part-elvish. There have only *theoretically* been two half elves in middle earth ever (JRRT leaves this teaser there may have been more), and Elrond's half brother went "naw, I like humans a lot, have fun being willowy and tragic in the forests guys" and it's from *him* Aragorn's descended.

@kelseyhusky @mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird "he's family" is kinda why Elrond's obligated to have this grimy dude he doesn't especially like crashing at his country manor, hanging out with his sons and hitting on his daughter. Admittedly in the books Elrond doesn't think humans are a virus or whatever.

@Leucrotta @mawr @SuperCee@plush.city @missbird He doesn't say it out-loud. But do you think he'd've been so reluctant to get involved in the War of the Ring if he hadn't been thinking that since Isuldur borked it up at the end of the Last Alliance war? (also, why didn't he just knock Isildur tf out and dump the ring in himself? He's so much stronger in will and body than men, who are weak, yeah?)
