The portrayal of Tolkien's elves' ears has sparked a lively discussion, prompting me to make an official decision. I declare our group's acceptance of 'leaf-shaped' ears for the elves. This decision aims to embrace the diversity of interpretations and artistic expressions surrounding Tolkien's elves, allowing for a broader range of visual representations that capture the essence of these enchanting beings. By embracing this variation, we hope to foster a more inclusive and imaginative environment for all members to explore and appreciate the rich world of Tolkien's elves.
