The post presents a humorous fictional account of the Silmarils' fate in modern times, connecting them to Pulp Fiction and Santa Claus. Longer summary
This humorous post presents a fictional history of the Silmarils from Tolkien's Silmarillion in modern times. The author creates an elaborate theory connecting the Silmarils to the movie Pulp Fiction and the legend of Santa Claus. The post starts by recapping the fate of the Silmarils, then develops two main theories: one linking Maglor's Silmaril to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction, and another connecting Maedhros' Silmaril to Santa Claus' workshop at the North Pole. The author uses creative interpretations of both the Silmarillion and popular culture to build these fantastical connections. Shorter summary
