I am the Lord of Hamsters. In the beginning, I commanded them: ''thou shall sprouteth hands and feet so thee may do mine own bidding, and help me rid the earth of all who despise carrots''
True story: when I was three years old, I turned orange. My mother, being alarmed, naturally enough, took me to the doctor. He chuckled and said "Been eating a lot of carrots, haven't you?".
Guess that makes clear my position in the Great Carrot Debate.

Hahaha, so true! I have to be careful about how in-depth I go in explaining things, depending on who it is I’m talking to. My brother has read LOTR, TH, and Silm, but he doesn’t have as big of an obsession with it as I do. When I start rambling on about details and implications of characters, family trees, and events, especially from Silm, his eyes glaze over and he calls me a Nerd.🤣🤓

Very occasionally I've had people sincerely ask me what the Silmarillion is about and actually listen and ask questions when I explain. That's my love language right there!
Ok I don't if it fits here or not but you guys have to hear this😂
The other day I was explaining to my bestie how Fëanor was born and what happened to Miriel afterwards.
I don't know if it was how I told the story or she was just her usual idiotic self but she started laughing and said and I quote: He ate his mom
And I was like.... WHAT????
How did she came to this conclusion I don't know but I can't stop laughing whenever I remember it😂😂😂
