(Oh, man, don't even bring up the cats thing. That's another one of those things where, okay, the original story was just mentioned offhandedly, and then fen went nuts because OMG YOU'RE CALLING ME/HER/THEM/PEOPLE RACIST, and oof, now it's all anyone remembers, when there were MUCH crazier stories, like the "we're all doctors in a hospital" AU where Dr. Novak got demoted to a nurse because, I guess, men are doctors, ladies are nurses!)
Of course, that was a while ago, and I feel like fandom has at least moved up to, like, version 1.1.6 of this conversation as opposed to being stuck on level zero like we were for a while.
and then you have Grima Wormtongue as the only dark-haired Rohirrim
Huh, you know, I don't think I ever picked up on that, but yeah. Good thing we have some brown-haired hobbits or I might start feeling oppressed as a brunette! ;)
