I actually need a whole docu séries on how they did Rings of Power : I need to know how they created the original characters, how they wrote the plot, how they decided to split up the ep, and my favourites things set design and costume

( I think the explorer thingy provide by amazon prime are good but I need more and I m a documentary lover )

Many thanks to @itwillbeourswansong for tagging me, I loved reading your stories, it's so fun to see how everyone got into Tolkien.

" What got you into Tolkien? "

As for me I was first introduce to Tolkien's universe thanks to the movies when I was a child and even thought I was too young to remember what I watched I had favourite characters. Now I wish I could watch it Like that again, rediscovering everything each time.

Then a little before the hobbit movie was out my brother was gifted a dvd set of the extented version so we watched them together and as he is a little older than me he also land me his copy of the hobbit. I was 11 and I read it so fast ! I liked it very much. Then we watched The Hobbit movies and I'm not gonna lie we only saw them twice or thrice and I don't remember the story, only that I like watching them and loved the music ( I need to rewatch them ).

Years passed and I don't have time to read anymore, but the Lotr movies are still movies we watched often during breaks. My brother and my cousins are nerd so I'm used to hear a lot of talk about lotr, the differences between movies and books, they recounted me some part of the Silmarion and it's amazing. Truly the work/world of Tolkien is one that is beautiful to share, and experiencing it by someone telling you a story they memorised, wonderful.

A few years ago ( I think ? ) a new french translation was made and I read about the how and why and it got me Interested in buying the books ( im a bit of language nerd). Between (re) starting uni and life in général I'm only reading them now but finally, I'm reading them !

As for the Rings of Power, I was so hyped, I was Interested in it since they announce it. I really like this project, I think the 2nd season is better than the 1st and I hope that it will continue to improve. I really like the orignal characters and we can see the care there is in the décors and costume.

I wrote a lot im sorry, im that talkative.

But funfact my brother can't physically watch the end of the return of the King without saying " actually sam goes to Valinor too when he is old " ( and I really hope it's in the book and he doesn't say that because I used to be sad to see Sam and Frodo being apart ) ( and here I am talking again )

If anyone is reading this please share your story too ( no pressure )

Im also tagging @oribellame because how come we couldn't be both in our lotr era at the same time ?

So, question: What got you into Tolkien?

I was tagged by the lovely @iwanderbecauseimlost in this post.

It was a combination of things to be honest. My Dad read The Hobbit to me and my younger brother when I was six (6) and I was hooked from there. It’s my favourite book and I’ve reread more than any other book. Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring had just come out around the same time and whilst we weren’t allowed to watch it yet, my older brother explained the plot and we played the Top Trumps.

My older brother is 10 years older than me and he had already read The Hobbit and LOTR. He also had the Tolkien Encyclopaedia and I consumed it like a rabid animal. It’s where I came across Melkor for the first time and little seven (7) year old me became obsessed.

I didn’t read the actual LOTR trilogy until I was maybe 14 or 15 because I found it difficult to get into; but when I did read it, it was in an omnibus version and I got through all of it in a week.

The Silmarillion I dipped in and out of throughout my teen years but I read it through in its entirety, whilst listening to The Tolkien Professor, during the 2020 lockdown. I loved it.

So Tolkien has been a huge part of my life. It inspired me in GSCE Art and DT: Graphics. I dressed up as Gandalf for The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies with my friends. Me and my brothers quote the films to each other all the time. My wedding had an LOTR theme.

The Rings of Power led me to Tumblr though, specifically, Adar did 😅 and l love the community on here. Adarlings are the best, as are the most of the rest of TROP fans.

How do you whant me to focus on Sentimental Education, Flaubert when Im reading the lord of the ring at the same time and Sam and Frodo have way more chemistry than Frédéric and Madame Arnoux, and they're so in love it's sickening

Since the brainrot is brainrotting I spent all of our hike being like " super high trees with shiny sunray, that's so elf like " ; " little troglodyte house that is very cosy, very stoors " ; " oh wow the Moss seem so confortable to sleep on "

Also we were at the very begining of the hike and already playing our after hike snake while also commenting in why we bought go eat during the hike, also very Hobbit like

Class was cancelled this afternoon so we went hiking but the hike we wanted to do wasn't a loop and there werent any bus to take us back to the city since it's winter so we just walk and then turn around when it was kinda late in the afternoon. It was really pretty but also not a hike to do in winter as you have to cross a little body of water and everything is wet because of the humidity and you can slip so easily and there ate hunter with ther dogs ( that part is just me being a coward )

I don't think the fandom talks enough about how traumatizing the mines of Moria must've been for the hobbits.

And I'm not referring to Gandalf's death (this is actually quite discussed), that's "oh no, they've killed grandpa".

I'm talking about the members of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield they've found dead. The hobbits grew up listening to the tales of their adventure and their extraordinary deeds.

That's "fuck they've killed the Avengers".
