As a person I understand the appeal of drinking out of a whole skull but as an archaeologist I don’t approve of the way people think it’s done (when it’s actually done)
Also. When you put a skull on a shelf. That jaw. It’s gon fall. You better take it off or glue it or smth bc it’s going to fall
Historically speaking, when we find trophy skulls, the jaw is usually missing, or it has been especially taken care of to help it stay in place. When it’s missing, sometimes it’s been snatched off the head while the skin and meat was still there, sometimes it’s because it fell after the skin decomposed
Either way my friends told me to stop telling stories like that at parties
I could never be in the Fellowship because when we got to Lothlorien and Galadriel started her mind-reading/weighing of the souls thing, she’d get to me and of course that would be when I got the most inappropriate song stuck in my head at the worst possible moment. So she would be trying to get an idea of how committed to the quest I am but instead she"d just get a mind full of
“It’s getting hot in here…so take off all your clothes….”
And then she would order her archers to kill me on the spot and you know what? That’s fair.
firmly believe that the hobbit movies went out of their way to make Ori into a cute patootie just to make the scene in FOTR where they find his body 10 million times more upsetting.
