carlandrea: The thing about elves in Tolkien is that if you tried to tell an elf that the universe operates on universal physical laws that can be understood and exploited they’d be like what. No it’s not. And also they’d be right

The idea that their technology never advances past swords or whatever because they’re culturally stagnant and incapable of innovating because of like immortality etc. is so obviously false if you like take even the briefest look at elven culture and history they just don’t have physics
