One last picture--Dom and Elijah at the TOR.N Oscar party.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Strawberry disappointment.
Vaguely interesting article on Elvish.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Beauteous slash avoidance:
"In one film, there was an early scene where the word 'aniron', usually meaning 'I want' - in the sense of wanting a cup of tea - was adapted to mean 'I love' between Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
"So this word now had romantic associations. David Salo, the expert working on the script, had to think of another word to mean 'I want', in case it seemed like one male elf asking another for something later on was mistakenly thought to have amorous intentions.

I can't even.
Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
Arrgh. Plus the pic of Aragorn, used to show an elf. Almost as much of a pet peeve for me as misspelling the author's name, which of course the BBC didn't do.

Isn't Aragorn 1/8th elf or something like that? My knowledge of the whole geneology thing is dim and affected by drink and late hours, but I have some memory of him being a distant cousin of Arwen's. Of course, she's part human, so I guess it could be on that side of things.

Aragorn is all man.
Read that any way you want.
(Okay, like 50 generations back he gets into the elfy territory, but basically, man).
No doubt Nutty will now appear to clarify exactly how many generations back, and who.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm now earwormed with Adam Sandler filk.
Aragorn's part Elvish, Arwen is too / together they make one fine-looking Elf.

Aragorn's 5000-years-back grandparents were half-elven.
