...he's gonna have a go at Morgoth making things and hoping Saint Augustine isn't gonna notice.

(from this video) (it makes sense in the context)

I'm sorry if that's nitpicking:

Outside of Earendil's line, the children of elf-human couples are human. It is written somewhere (don't remember, NoME?) so unless you HC it out, it can be neither of them. It would be a human. (And unfortunately, the Dół Amroth line is blond iirc)

You are of course perfectly free to HC it out. Just please be aware than in canon it works a bit different. Earendil was given a special thing as an award (?) for sailing to Valinor. I know fics don't do it, but people like Elured and the other Elured would also be human, as far as I understand the canon. And definitely other elf-human children are human (but pretty and no beard).

This article goes over the Norse and Germanic influences of Tolkien's works, specifically the Arda, the Dwarves and their language of Khuzdul (and an important mention here is that it's inspired by Hebrew), and more!

Lysimachia nemorum, yellow pimpernels, didn’t historically have many ethnobotanical uses. They’re a very pretty flash of color in the Scottish Highlands, though! Pimpernels are in the primrose family, Primulaceae, and their genus, Lysimachia, has undergone a lot of reclassification lately. They’re closely related to the scarlet pimpernel, Lysimachia arvensis (recently moved from Anagallis), which is a common garden flower, and of course, was as the non de guerre of the hero of Baroness Orczy novels. Unlike the scarlet pimpernel, though, they tend to grow in shaded, damp areas. Interestingly, they’re also closely related to starflowers, including western starflower, Lysimachia latifolia (moved from Trientalis), which is common on the west coast of North America and has a small, edible tuber.

I’ve seen the scarlet pimpernel cited as the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elanor, a plant he described as growing in Middle Earth in Lórien. I personally think the yellow pimpernel is a more likely option, though, because it’s more likely to grow in ancient woodland areas with old growth and, after all, Tolkien indicated that it was yellow (its name meaning “sun-star” in Sindarin).��

At least with Harryology or Tolkienology you’d study more than one book.

gonna spend a few months to learn to braid my hair with one (left) hand for the sake of Tolkienology. Wait for me to show up one day and say that post-Thangorodrim Maedhros with PTSD and a fear of any form of physical contact BUT also with braided hair is canon.

It’s midnight in here, so when you start to get drowsy, you start to get soppy and cheesy, so all I wanted to say is that I am so happy that I’ve decided to create a tumblr account where I’ve got to meet some incredible mutuals especially my spursblr babies, I love u all so much, I literally don’t know any of yours names or anything but I still get worried whenever I don’t see any of you’s on my dash. I am so grateful to all of you. To have so many people on here wish me a happy birthday and who share the same passions with me, is honestly so overwhelming.

"-indeed, he could do lots of things, besides blowing smoke-rings, asking riddles, and cooking, that I haven't had time to tell you about. There is no time now."

On the one hand, I know this originated as a bedtime story that Tolkien told to his kids, so that makes sens.

On the other, dude, are you sure? *sees that I still got a good 100+ pages left* Are you sure? Didn't have enough space in this one, did you? I imagine if I keep this up I'll eventually be getting my doctorate in Tolkienology but there is no time now to talk of the things Bilbo can do?
