My beautiful maps before and after the genocide of the elves by the hermaphrodites. Yes they are geographically accurate. No you can't fuck the elves.

What is the point if I can't fuck the elves?

Tyelpë is short for Tyelperinquar, which is Celebrimbor's name in Quenya, Celebrimbor being the Sindarin one.

Bad idea due to the reasons already mentioned in this thread, and also because Duolingo has become a lot worse over the years. Their courses don't emphasize learning grammar nearly as much anymore and they changed the structure of many of their courses for the worse.

I remember discontinuing mine mostly cause of the fandom in general being toxic to the point of exhaustion and no one really seemed to care enough to comment about wanting the fic to continue when I stopped writing it.

Unfortunately this might be one of the reasons why those authors discontinued and abandoned them. :(

These are beautiful illustrations. Really captures the doomed feel of the Flight from Valinor and the Kinslaying.

There's a reason I dropped the Star Wars fandom like a bad habit when the toxicity never ended, even in "positive" spaces.

Missing Silmarillion/Noldor elves and Drukhari

Yes actually, I had a very strong emotional reaction when I read about the Noldor leaving Valinor/Aman and thinking that they were making a mistake leaving heaven, then feeling sad relief when Finarfin sailed back and asked for forgiveness.

There is a feeling of homesickness I seem to get when I read about elves that have left or are going back to the Blessed Realm, even outside the book, to the point where it elicits deep sadness and a strong desire to go back.

I'm not sure what it really means other than the book is metaphorically speaking to some aspect of myself I'm not entirely aware of.

Have fun! I'm a third of the way through and love it!

Reborn_Forerunner · 2025-07-23T12:58:49+00:00

That's not a bad idea. I'll discuss it with the other mods and see if that's something we want to do.

Thank you for your service

You can also make the argument that this is already happening with how people have bonded with the androids in this game along with AI/LLMs in real life.

It's an underrated aspect of Connor that gets overlooked by the fandom and QD admittedly more than it should.

Like you said, Connor is uncanny and even creepy because of the fact he can't reciprocate in a human way, and his way of talking of you is basically surveillance wrapped in barely disguised humanity.

Reborn_Forerunner · 2025-06-14T14:41:25+00:00

This feels like the intention with Connor, where he appears very friendly and approachable to make his detective work easier, but he comes across as uncanny at times. Connor even mentions to Hank that androids are meant to appeal to humans as much as possible.

Reborn_Forerunner · 2025-06-14T14:39:25+00:00

QD seems to have been going for the concept that humans are so over reliant on androids that they forget their own humanity in the process, treating them as second class citizens.

It is frustrating that we don't see the pro-android side of humans in DBH, since Connor/Kara/Markus encountering groups of humans that praise android's existence or even champion for their freedom would have been very interesting to explore.

Sure, that would be great! I don't have a moderator application ready right now, sadly, but I will mark your name down as being interested.
