I feel like Bilbo would teach the elves of Rivendell the concept of a mathom with the express purpose of oh so politely asking them over dinner how were the Silmarils not a mathom
Random Feanorian elf inherited by Elrond: That’s not… No.
Bilbo: Oh so they were useful?
Elf: Well. No, not exactly
Bilbo: But the owners didn’t want to throw them away.
Elf: Yeah
Bilbo: And they were in possession of several people over the course of years.
Elf: Yeah
Bilbo: That’s a mathom.
Elf: No! We loved them because were very pretty!!! And one of a kind!!! Crafted by hands more skilled than any of ours!!!
Bilbo: Yes, like my great aunt’s set of painted dishcloths
Elf, in tears: The Silmarils were not like your great aunt’s set of painted dishcloths
Bilbo: How’s The Great Mathom War as a title for a poem about the First Age?
By the way, it’s important to me that Elrond supports Bilbo’s claim and finds it quite insightful actually
@southfarthing I almost spit my latte all over my dog laughing at this tag. This would be hilarious.

But what are the broader theological implications of that episode of Xena: Warrior Princess where they die and go to Heaven and become angels and then Xena goes to Hell and takes it over and becomes the new Devil. What would this mean for the church.
I’m not kidding btw but don’t worry they get better
Hi Natalie! Theologian here. What the fuck are you talking about?
It’s like people just forget about important theological moments, like Xena and Gabrielle being crucified and going to Heaven where they fight Callisto, who has become a demon.
Hi Devin. Theologian here again. Your actions are of the Devil.
Hi Devin. OP here. You’re doing amazing.
I thought Gabrielle was the one who fell tonhell, or was that a different instance of them dying?
Gabrielle got dragged to Hell (like in that movie) and Xena went to Heaven and became an angel so Xena went to Hell to bring Gabrielle back so Gabrielle got to become an angel but Xena gave up her place in Heaven and became the new Satan. So it was the same instance of them dying but just a lot of stuff happened.
Don’t forget they also intervened in the sacrifice of Issac because I think a bad guy was setting Abraham up?
Yeah the bad guy was Ishmael like standing behind a tree with a megaphone. They also met David and Goliath and we found out Xena and Goliath used to be best buds.
- sacrifice of Isaac: season 1, featuring Karl Urban as the bad dude
- Gabs & Xena get crucified (the time they get crucified together, not the multiple times Xena has been crucified by herself): end of season 4, featuring Karl Urban as Julius Caesar
- Gabs gets dragged to Hell and Xena becomes the Devil to rescue her, featuring Renee O'Connor (Gabs) in one of her absolute best costumes (the angel getup): season 5 opener
- so many other things happen in this show
- the point is 1) Xena is the best show that has literally ever existed in the history of ever and 2) Karl Urban
as the prophet Lil Nas X backtold
