Happy belated birthday! And a minor Sansukh-related imagining: Mandos as a greedy bastard, a collector, entirely OCD about displaying mortal souls up in the original packaging like action figures, neatly arranged in elaborate tiers by family tree. Thorin calls him on it with absolute exasperation. “Sitting on all these souls like a dragon on his hoard! What difference would a single hobbit make?! DO YOU HONESTLY HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE SET? I ONLY WANT ONE. YOU NEVER PLAY WITH THEM….”

BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA…!!!!!

“And here’s my pride and joy: my limited edition collection of Feanorians… unfortunately, one or two aren’t mint-condition any more…”

(Thank you, Nonnie!)

Oh, it’s your birthday! Happy Birthday! I wonder how the elves say it..

It was, yes! Yesterday! Thank you so much, you lovely person, I had a lovely time 🙂

Oooh gosh, idk… some person of Giant Brain will know!

(though… does my memory play tricks on me when I seem to recall that Elves celebrated the date of conception and not the date of birth? Always seemed HUGELY invasive of the parent(s) privacy, IF YOU ASK ME)
