Recently I decided to finally play the Lego Lord of the Rings game and it put me in quite the Tolkien mood. I’m currently rewatching the making-of specials of the movies and it all brings back so many memories…

As a kid I always loved the part about Fangorn Forest, so here’s a little fanart!

"I sit beside the fire and think

of people long ago

and people who will see a world

that I shall never know.

 

But all the while I sit and think

of times there were before,

I listen for returning feet

and voices at the door."

“Radagast is, of course, a worthy wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue; and he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds are especially his friends.”

In honour of me asking 'hey anyone wanna watch lotr' about 10 times this weekend to no avail, I drew myself a wee Samwise

Memes that require oddly specific knowledge of both Tolkien and Shakespeare?

We loved the gay fan fiction when it came out. When it came out! Like coming out of the closet! Omigosh. Anyhow, our instinct when the movie came out was to just love how the fans embraced the movie and the characters. And so, whatever people want to conceptualize with them is fine with us.

funniest thing in the lord of the rings is how no one can kill gollum because whenever they get close they're like "oh my god he's so pathetic and ugly i can't bear to fucking look at him. jesus christ." so they just imprison him and then he slips through the fucking bars like a looney tunes character. and this happens multiple times.

Sometimes when i read the parts about Sam and Frodo in lotr i forget that these are like, the actual books, jolkien rolkien rolkien tolkien wrote these words. This was not written by a 20-year old tumblr gay that cry when they hear the word ”yearn.” This is like, classic literature. Idk I just think it’s really funny

The depictions of Aragorn as an unwashed, dirt-eating, off-the-grid backpacker become much better when you realize that he was raised by Elrond, by all accounts the most civilized, refined, and genteel person on the known continent.

The hobbits had just gotten used to seeing him eat uncooked rabbit and suddenly he’s sitting at Elrond’s table, speaking three kinds of Elvish and using the correct fork for every dish!
