I have a desperate and serious need of gold!

Pure gold, mixed with nothing, that can be hammered out thin enough to use as a hair ribbon. I have but six of them with me, and it is not nearly enough. I like to wear three braids on each side, and if I lose one, as I almost did in the sea, it is a cruel fate to be sure.

So!

Is there gold in the hills, and those who can mine it?

I am Eldar, not a dwarf.

Why would we? My niece offers to aid in farming and is shut down cruelly by the people she wished to aid. My other cousin offers to aid in the raising of a barn and he is made to feel guilty for his expertise, and chased away. My son offers his aid in healing and he is told no, because his methods are too archaic for this world.

We are treated like children.

My niece grieves for her dead son and she is told to shut up because she dare call a woman who did not understand her grief heartless. That is cruelty.

My friend is told not to place her 'judgey elf opinions' in a public forum.

Again. And again we face disrespect and so I will not have it.
I am tired and I am angry.

But see you're just doing exactly the same thing. You're rushing to judge me based on what other people of my race have treated you like. You're making assumptions.

I don't agree with gold ribbons, I've made that clear. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't help you in an emergency situation, and it doesn't mean that I hate you as a people, it tells you nothing except my opinion on gold ribbons.

And even after this wee disagreement, I would still fucking help you.

Yeah, well. I'm tired and angry too.

It tells me nothing we say may be said freely. We must guard our words, hide our desires, and defer to the wisdom of the people on this island who despise us for whatever cause.

"We are all in this together" and yet we have been driven away. While your people may speak of their endless pregnancies and demand that we pay attention to the feelings a woman has of her body, my cousin and my king cannot express his desire for ribbons.

Did you shout at the couple for their inane discussion? Nay. You chose the elf.

	Right. Maybe it's a lack of understanding, eh? I'm tired and frustrated. Fuck. Sorry if it seemed like a race thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have wisdom to consider that perhaps we are both wrong, and for that I am glad. Many write us off and have but cruel words to say. I have no patience for those people. He is dear to me and that is the cause of my wrath. As surely as you would rise for you own I will come like fire to his aid in all things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	These things are rarely one-sided, but bourne from a lack of knowledge on both sides. Neither do I. I know, I get it. There are plenty of people I would defend tirelessly. It's- I envy you, having so many of your kin here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nelyafinwe 2013-05-15 08:34 am UTC (link)
	There is truth to your words; but it takes a certain type of being to seek knowledge or accept gracefully when we are wrong. Oft pride leads us to anger. And it is both blessing and curse. I have buried them all once before, and wait now to do it again. In that too we are alike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fuckitybye 2013-05-15 08:37 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know what you mean. And I'm often guilty of just resorting to anger instead of admitting to weakness. It's- it was necessary, at home. That's a good point, yeah. You must worry constantly. I miss my children, but at least I know they are safe at home. I would never be able to relax if they were here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aye. At home it is necessary--that I know well. Likewise the fury of Fëanorians, of which I am one, ignites like fire. It burns like coal in the pits of our spirits and once ablaze may not be tempered by any but cool hands.

They say this is a second chance, but it seems more a half life. Waiting in the in-between. We only postpone the inevitable as we cannot move forward until we are dead.

	That sounds pretty familiar, yeah. I agree. I thought it was a second chance at first, but now I'm not so sure. It doesn't feel much like living at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nelyafinwe 2013-05-15 08:59 am UTC (link)
	How is it living when you are too afraid to move? Take what you may get, they say, and yet when we lose what we have gained how do we continue on? Find new hope? New love? New purpose? Nay, it is never so easy. And for those who find it easy, to the Void with them. They do not know pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fuckitybye 2013-05-15 10:18 am UTC (link)
	I know. I feel like I was given hope just to have it snatched away again. Fuck. Sorry, I'm- it doesn't matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nelyafinwe 2013-05-15 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	It does matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fuckitybye 2013-05-15 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Yeah, but I'll deal with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nelyafinwe 2013-05-15 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	Of that I have no doubt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seriously? Can you people even read?

I told her to check her facts before giving her judgey elf opinion.

The same goes for you.

Fuck me; you people really do just believe what you want to believe, don't you?

You're tired and angry? JOIN THE FUCKING CLUB! This island isn't all daisies and rainbows and happy-times, d~~ick~~ude. We're all tired. We're all angry. And no one can be bothered with your incessant moaning.

If you don't want to be treated like children, grow the fuck up!

	It is considered rude to step into a conversation that neither addresses you, nor concerns you . The adults are having a conversation between themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stop it. Both of you. Cease your words about my son, and Maitimo, stop provoking them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I desire it! Go down to the sea and calm yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
