#TolkienWeek

[fictional-at-heart]

Is there a Tolkien Week this year??

[the-writer1988]

I just watched Lord of the Rings for the first time in years since I last watched them... and I'm on a bit of a binge.

Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar

Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!

Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.

Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!

If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

TOLKIENWEEK 2022 Day 8: Courage

[christophernolan]

@tolkienweek 2022 | Favorite Minor Character

[Faramir] was gentle in bearing, and a lover of lore and of music, and therefore by many in those days his courage was judged less than his brother’s. But it was not so, except that he did not seek glory in danger without a purpose. He welcomed Gandalf at such times as he came to the City, and he learned what he could from his wisdom; and in this as in many other matters he displeased his father.

“Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!!”

Tolkien Week day 10: Favorite movie- The Return of the King

I thought about shortening the quote in the caption, then nearly slapped myself. One does not simply shorten Aragorn’s EPIC speech!😤 I’m so sad Tolkien Week is over...🥺 I had so much fun! Thank you so much to @tolkienweek for hosting it!

My #1 post of 2022

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair.”

Tolkien Week day 2: Favorite location- The Shire

Sure, Lothlorien and Mirkwood are great and all, and Rohan and Gondor have their perks; but I will always, and forever, be a Shire girl. Forever wishing she could live in The Shire in a hole in the ground (but not a nasty, worm filled hole- but one of comfort😉), with a huge library of books wearing a Hobbit-like medieval dress. Living my best Hobbit life.

TOLKIEN WEEK Day 5 | Favorite Outfit — Éowyn’s white wool gown

[southfarthing]

@tolkienweek 2022 day 4: beginnings & endings

[emyn-arnens]

TOLKIEN WEEK 2022 | DAY 9: FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP/FELLOWSHIP ⇢ ÉOWYN & MERRY

“Éowyn! Éowyn!” cried Merry. Then tottering, struggling up, with her last strength she drove her sword between crown and mantle, as the great shoulders bowed before her. The sword broke sparkling into many shards. The crown rolled away with a clang. Éowyn fell forward upon her fallen foe. But lo! the mantle and hauberk were empty. Shapeless they lay now on the ground, torn and tumbled; and a cry went up into the shuddering air, and faded to a shrill wailing, passing with the wind, a voice bodiless and thin that died, and was swallowed up, and was never heard again in that age of this world.

And there stood Meriadoc the hobbit in the midst of the slain, blinking like an owl in the daylight, for tears blinded him; and through a mist he looked at Éowyn’s fair head, as she lay and did not move; and he looked on the face of the king, fallen in the midst of his glory.
