Re: Probably-white characters you pictured as non-white

[(Anonymous)]

When I read The Hobbit when I was 8, I pictured Elrond as looking vaguely east asian. Specifically, Japanese (in dress, hairstyle, etc). The visuals of Rivendell that my mind jumped to were much the same.

Probably because my family had a number of links to japanese buddhism, and the description of Rivendell (peaceful and a place of great wisdom and lore), and Elrond (perfect host, wise, helpful, generous, possessed of shitloads of knowledge and a giant library of ancient writings and shit - tbh I pictured him in that stereotypical hands-hidden-in-bell-sleeves pose) and the Rivendell elves (friendly, eccentric, kind of rude yet super nice and hospitable, always laughing and a tad condescending) all coalesced in my 8-year-old mind, with its reliance on my own personal experiences, as something overwhelmingly reminiscent of a buddhist temple, with its incredibly wise and kind priest and funny monks.
