I had no conception of how fast things escalated from splitting the fellowship to the siege at Helm's Deep.
This channel is just part of my morning routine. Some people check the stock market, and I am such a nerd I check in with the Legendarium.

A three panel meme based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy by JRR Tolkien. the first panel shows a hobbit speaking, saying "Gandalf...is there any hope for Sam and Frodo?" The second panel shows gandalf and the hobbit looking upon Mt. Doom from Gondor. Gandalf says "There is hope.. though it may seem faint." The third panel is a close up of Gandalf as he says, "Even now... the Dow is over 50,000"
Fwiw, I have the same problem with the Sagas, and worse problems with William Morris (who I blame for the thee/thou-ness of some of the #jrrt style).
I just can't get over how much of a brassy affectation it is. Rather read the KJV -- at least it's contemporary language at that point
So I read The Silmarillion a half century ago, struggled thru it for the lore, hated the style.
I am listening to Andy Serkis on audiobook, and he does the best possible job of bringing it to life.
The writing is so stilted. GJ, Andy!

seen in a Zuckergroup, artist unidentified, but I would buy a poster or notecards or some such if I could. #Tolkien #gandalf #lotr #jrrt
OMG, just laughing in the middle of a migraine...
Tolkien would hate this, but I approve this message.

'Eowyn and the Nazgul', by Tim and Greg Hildebrandt, from the 1976 JRR Tolkien Calendar.
(Today would have been my father's 87th birthday.)

I am listening to Andy Serkis' reading of #lotr and The Hobbit on cycle lately for my bedtime/nap time story.
It doesn't matter if I fall asleep and miss chapters, because I know the books so well.

I am such a geek, and such a #jrrt fangrrl, I found this hilarious.
I wonder how far off the mechanics are from the estimation of net worths and market caps in the real world though? ;)
from 2012, but I seriously doubt Smaug's net worth has changed, heh...

Tolkien, lord of the rings
This way or another, want it or not, but this human being created something more than just a new world. #JRRT set a standard for worldbuilding and keeps inspiring thousands of artists, writers, musicians, and directors for years to come (hopefully). Happy Birthday, Professor! #lotr

Thanks in part to his son Christopher, and to all the scholars and artists attracted to Middle Earth and other #JRRT works, we still are getting literature and art related.

Also for you #jrrt #lotr fen out there, today is the first day of Hrívë, the elvish season corresponding to winter, lasting 72 days.
While other peoples called winter hrívë generically, only the elvish reckoning -- divided into seasons rather than months -- uses the term as a division of the year.
At TolkienCon 2026 in Prague, I will give a convention talk on my nearly year-long work (with breaks) on digitizing czech Tolkien fanzines.
How did I get involved? What stage is it at? What surprised me, and which fanzines do I read over and over again?
Come and see for yourself!

Yup, I love it and I hate it.
h/t to my son who inflicted this on me

If you are a #JRRT #LOTR fan, you might find this quotidian habit of mine enjoyable. It's a break from the news cycle for me, and a feed cleanser.

Beyond the western seas and skies today, Mr Bilbo and Mr Frodo Baggins are celebrating their joint birthday. #JRRT #Tolkien
I had the opportunity to design a beautiful device for Celebrían, the wife of Elrond and daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel. Thank you MA! I'm in love with this one, it turned out more beautiful than I could've imagined!

Today in 1937 was the initial publication date for #JRRT #TheHobbit.
That means a hell of a party is going to bust loose in 12y, if we all make it that far. ;)
As much as I've learned to love ALL the simplified, flawed screen adaptations (Peter Jackon's LotR is likely the best), it saddens me that few young people will now discover #JRRT through his #writing first, as I did.
35 years on, I've only just found this long interview:

Here's a heraldic device for Thranduil, king of the Woodland Realm of Mirkwood! This one was a joy to create and was heavily inspired by Thingol's device. Thank you so much erumelde (from Tumblr) for commissioning me!
