AMAZON IS RUN BY ELVES AND IS RACIST TOWARDS DWARVES, LOOK UP "FANTASY DWARF MERCHANDISE" AND YOU'LL GET WAY LESS STUFF THAN "FANTASY ELF MERCHANDISE".
NEED MORE PROOF? LOOK UP "LORD OF THE RINGS MERCHANDISE" AND YOU'LL PRETTY MUCH INSTANTLY FIND ELVISH SWORDS, LOOK UP SOMETHING LIKE "LOTR GIMLIS WALKING AXE" AND THE REPLICA ISN'T EVEN ON AMAZON. CLEAR RACISM BOYCOTT ELFAZON

When Half-Elves choose to be mortal, do they loose their elf ears?
Asking because the fandom art I’ve seen really goes back and forth on this

My husband: “You know how elves can live for thousands of years unless they’re killed first”
Me: “Like lobsters, yes”

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

Okay, so a thing about Tolkien's Middle-Earth is that, for elves and other beings of comparable metaphysical stature, the "distance" between an act of will and its tangible result is shorter than it is for mortals. The universe is just more inclined to play along with how they want it to work, which is why they're not lying when they claim not to know what magic is even though the products of their craftsmanship are by any reasonable standard supernatural – they just make stuff, and it works the way it does because that's how they intended it to.
This has a number of fun worldbuilding implications, like inventors having tangible authority over things crafted using their techniques, regardless of who does the actual crafting, because they literally willed the principles which allow those techniques to work into being, or the fact that when powerful beings die, sometimes stuff that depends on techniques they invented stops working. However, there's a bigger implication that that's generally gone unaddressed:
Elves can't do science.
Like, it's straight up impossible. A Tolkien elf cannot construct and carry out a meaningful experiment of any sort – it'll always works the way they expect it to, but only for that particular elf. Confirmation bias is an insurmountable barrier.
I want to read a story about the elf who figures this out and it bothers them terribly.

One of my favorite things in the LOTR books is Sam being obsessed with Elven magic and wanting to see it and when Galadriel finds out she basically tells Sam "I don't know what the fuck magic is but I can show you the future in this bowl of water if you want" as if that's just a normal ass thing to be able to do.

The elves of middle earth having the same “call your dad when you don’t know how to fix a problem” instinct but because they live forever it’s like
Some elf starts experiencing the elven equivalent of car trouble (idk, horse won’t go?) and calls his dad, and then his dad can’t figure it out so he calls HIS dad and so on and so forth until you’ve got this guys entire lineage all huddled together in elven cargo shorts trying to solve a dented horseshoe
