anghraineI can understand why people assume that my Faramir hair posts suggest that I would also be invested in Elves having long hair, but uhhhh no.
I mean, every time I get a response that's all "this post has the opposite energy as the Amazon show," it's like—um, thanks but no thanks? I care about Faramir's aesthetic so much because he's my fave character and he comes from my fave Middle-earth culture, and because it's so difficult to find depictions of either that aren't tremendously dominated by the films' bland Anglo take on them. The people going on about Elves' hair with a) dubious canon evidence and b) incessant idealization of the films are ... yeah, not ever going to be me.
