A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

@PugJesus Always a matter of perspective. In Japan bright skin apparently is very desirable. ๐Ÿค”

It comes and goes. A class distinction at times, funny enough - pale skin traditionally meant you didn't have to work for a living (or at least could work inside), but as that became less of a class distinction in the 1920s, the leisure time to vacation and tan became perceived as more desirable.

My youngest child is pale skinned, so fair and doesn't easily burn nor tan. Put that lady in a black swimsuit, not a red one. The very pale look so good in black suits. My ghostly one bleaches her hair out so blonde too now, it's honestly a really good look.
