Dancing = True Love

Does anyone else ever have those moments when the Thief series intersects something completely unrelated in your thoughts and all of a sudden that other thing suddenly makes more sense? I just had one of those.

I love Tolkien (ok, everybody loves Tolkien) and so I've been working on an elf costume for the Hobbit premiere in December. I was looking for something a little different from the looks I'd seen before, so I was looking at fan art of elves from the Silmarillion, especially Luthien. And it got me thinking.

Every time I saw a picture of her dancing, I disliked it. None of them seemed right to me at all. And then I saw one that had her dancing silently, eyes closed, almost solemn under the stars, and I though, OMG ATTOLIA.

Seriously, does this happen to other people?
