No...

... the Ring is mine.

Every time I remember this scene I feel a piece of me wither away (affectionate). I took some creative liberties to show the Rings power over Frodo, so his eyes reflect what he is seeing in his mind.

Still totally inappropriate use of Thorin's titles lol

Contemplating the life cycle of an elvish piece of fabric or garment. Like, I think of elvish fashions being much more fluid and changeable than they're generally depicted in fanart (which makes sense! Like from an artist's perspective it makes sense to chose a more consistent visual style, or to just draw what you like!) While still changing more slowly than historic human fashions, and MUCH more slowly than modern fashions.

But there are also questions of, for example, longevity. Do elf-crafted fiber products actually last longer than human-made (either due to superior crafting, superior long-term care, or magic)? Would an elvish garment actually last long enough to be re-fashioned with changing fashion? Or maybe the fashion cycle is approximately timed up to the natural lifespan of a garment? (Would it be gauche to switch to a new style before the old style garments hit a certain point of wear??)

Heck, do elvish children get hand-me-down clothes? Or do they grow slowly enough that they're expected to actually wear out a garment, at least in most cases? Or does increased longevity of elven fabrics mean that hand-me-downs are still expected?

Many questions. But I do still stand by the idea that older garments tend to be more elaborately embellished, as the owner adds embroidery and trims and what-have-you as part of a steady visible mending and refashioning progress.
