‘Slender rays of the sun are
diligently drinking up entire oceans.
The invisible wind is
deliberately herding clouds
to bluer pastures.
Birds smaller than a palm
are ushering in
distant momentous springs’

@DradacoYT@SeanMac67914982 Likely. But I would have imagined him and Ancalagon in the thick of the battle with the dismayed hosts of the Valar. I somehow pictured him appearing in the skies on Vingilot with the ship already hallowed. That explains how a half-elven slayed such a mighty for.
‘Loom over me in
rolling clouds
of ominous love.
Then in
sudden burst
rain, rain, rain
over me breathless.’

Poetry by Agni Barathi: ‘What impossible simile / will suffice, my love, / to sing of my real, utter ruin?’

@paapabutterfly "So you are also ready to sleep with anyone", Yes, that's how consent works. You missed a couple of words though - "with anyone I choose"
@sujays Just consider the same statement - "Oh, they didn't even let me talk with that girl" made by a professional in any other field. At the very least the man would receive a warning and at worst would be fired from his job. Disgusting how these "heroes" keep getting away.
@sujays Yep. I think I've seen him making similar comments maybe reg., Anushka? Every time a big actor makes a statement like this and the camera focusses on the woman being commented on, you can see the discomfort. That itself must be enough to shutdown this wrong comparison nonsense.
