There is fine!

Is there a way to let Findekáno know she's going home? He might worry, and he's not horrible.

Permalink

They can send a herald of the Valar. Her judgment of him seems a little kind, though; he sleeps with men, after all. That is pretty horrible.

Permalink

...no not especially.

Permalink

There are admittedly lots of people who are worse.

Permalink

That is not really what she was getting at.

She has some gay vampire memories! Vampires can't afford to be bigoted about this sort of thing, wouldn't get them anywhere.

Permalink

Well, Elves and vampires might be different. Also note how all of those are serial killers.

Permalink

Not all of them. Gianna's not.

Permalink

Still. Eru said not to do that, and the Elves know better. If Findekáno'd avoided it in the first place he'd never have caught the attention of the evil King.

Permalink

Victim-blaming.

Permalink

It seems fairly obvious that if Findekáno didn't sleep with men none of this would have happened! What's the problem with this observation, is it another incarnate thing?

Permalink

Well, if Findekáno were a girl and Maitimo liked girls, or vice versa, the exact same thing could have happened anyway. The problem is Maitimo being evil, that's all.

Permalink

Yeah. Okay. They'll send a courier to Findekáno and the courier will not suggest to him that his problems could have been avoided by abiding by Eru's law.

It's probably occurred to him at least once in the last three and a half centuries, she's sure. Why did Eru even make gay people if they're just supposed to suffer? She could cope indefinitely without romance or the hope of it if that were a good idea for some reason (in fact she has a wolf, but) but she's weird.

Permalink

It's character-building to cope indefinitely without romance or the hope of it, but also if anyone doesn't want their character built the Valar will just fix them.

Permalink

Hiss.

Permalink

Can she explain?

Permalink

Yes. Yes she can.

Permalink

Well.

 

Offering still seems better than not offering. In case people would like to get fixed.

Permalink

Sure. She's got memories from a wolf who didn't want to be gay anymore and went and found himself an imprint. But this is mostly because people would have made his life hard if he'd just gone around being gay. And those people are jerks.

Permalink

But was he happy once he found himself an imprint?

Permalink

Yep. Just not quite himself as he was anymore.

Permalink

So, seems like a good option for people to have if they'd like. The Valar will not be jerks to people, but they will tell people Eru's will because people ought to know what Eru wants, even if they decide not to listen.

Permalink

Elspeth is kinda not sure why it matters what Eru wants.

Permalink

It matters to lots of people, even if Elspeth isn't one of them.

Permalink

Sure. But going out of your way to make sure everybody knows implies it ought to matter to them. Nobody's going around making sure everyone knows a random human farmer's opinions on gay people because no one cares to imply that. Why?
