so ive been reading your lotr fic(s) and i was wondering if you were going to go more in depth about the system of earrings/gender for the elves? its such a fantastic idea and i would love for it to one day be fanonized (is that a word? who knows). thanks!
hi! first, thanks for reading!
second, i do keep meaning to expand on it but other things keep happening and i can't stop Cýrlinnaril despite my best efforts. she really just does what she wants lmao. i'm hoping to get to it before we hit chapter 35 at least.
third, the earring idea getting fanonized (seems like a legit word to me) seems fun! i'd love to see other people's interpretations! earrings have always been such a beautiful way to signal social standing in cultures across the world and i just thought it would make so much sense for elves! i won't uh, go into a rant about it (save that for the fic lol) but yes, it would be fun if that happened!
thank you for the ask!
