The amount of work that Tolkien put into the timelines and chronologies for The Lord of the Rings is breathtaking. I think one of the reasons we love this work so much is because the care and love of the author shines through with every word. #Tolkien #LOTR #LordoftheRings

In a departure from my usual posts about Tolkien, I am currently reading An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro and it is excellent.

Here’s another #Tolkien question: What is your favorite quote (can be books or adaptation)? Some of mine are: “Aurë entuluva” [day shall come again] from The Silmarillion “Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not” from RotK What about you? Reskeet for more answers!

“Part of the attraction of The L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background: an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing the towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist.” #Tolkien #LOTR #LordOfTheRings

“It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep.” -The Houses of Healing, The Lord of the Rings #Tolkien #LOTR #LordoftheRings

Had a lovely time at the War of the Rohirrim world premiere in London last night! ☺️ #Tolkien #LOTR

It’s December - that can only mean one thing! It’s time for Letters from Father Christmas!🎄 #Tolkien #LOTR #LordOfTheRings #TheHobbit

All women want is a guy who will 3D print them a Smaug toothbrush holder ❤️

A very emotional end to the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference. It has been an indescribable weekend and I hope we were able to create an event that truly honoured Christopher Tolkien ❤️ Thank you to everyone who joined us ❤️

Day two of the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference is about to start! We have another day full of incredible speakers and fascinating topics ❤️ www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris...

And to anyone reading this, if you aren’t yet following @tolkiensociety.org to keep up with events like this, you should. Join us! #Tolkien

Today during the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference I had the chance to ask Ted Nasmith about other #Tolkien artists that he was a fan of. The first artist he named was @miriamellis.bsky.social ❤️

Day 1 of the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference has just finished! It was inspiring, deeply moving, fascinating and just incredibly special. Looking forward to tomorrow! #Tolkien #ChristopherTolkien

www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris... it's Today ! Cc @TolkienSociety

Tomorrow, the Society is bringing together an unparalleled list of speakers to celebrate the life and works of Christopher #Tolkien. Some of these talks contain unpublished content, so can only be experienced live. You can still sign up on our website! www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris...

Just finished all the final tasks for the Christopher Tolkien Centenary Conference that were on my to do list! Getting very excited now! #Tolkien www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris...

Today is Christopher Tolkien's 100th birthday, and we are so grateful to him for everything he has done in enriching our understanding of #Tolkien's life and works. In his honour, we are hosting a free online event this weekend. Find out more on our website www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris...

“Of the world of Tolkien, the founding books had been published They prospered like tall trees, but it is you who revealed the forest” Today marks 100 years since the birth of Christopher Tolkien. #Tolkien

Tadaaaaaaaaa.... *short drum solo* Find tons of lovely Middle-earth inspired people. "All things Tolkienian on Bluesky in three easy steps" thetolkienist.com/2024/11/19/a...

Huan, the Hound of Valinor, didn’t just appear fully formed in the tale of Beren and Lúthien - he had a clear forerunner in Musti, the OG magical good dog in Tolkien’s “The Story of Kullervo”! #Tolkien

Wonderful to see that @tolkiensociety.org is now on Bluesky! 🥳

His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Evil things did not come into that valley. #Tolkien #TheHobbit #Rivendell #LOTR

I’m still completely in awe of all the amazing snippets of information we were given in The Nature of Middle-earth. I mean, #Tolkien considered atoms, molecules and the concept of isotopes in his metaphysical writings, and had Quenya terms for them! #LOTR #LordoftheRings

'A good vocabulary is not acquired by reading books written according to some notion of the vocabulary of one's age-group. It comes from reading books above one' Tolkien, 1959 (Letter 215) #Tolkien

The Tolkien Society are hosting a conference to celebrate Christopher Tolkien on what would have been his 100th birthday ❤️ I am very proud to have played a part in bringing it together. The speaker list is truly phenomenal and the event is completely free! www.tolkiensociety.org/events/chris...

This conference has the most fantastic speaker list. It will be a truly special event ❤️

One of my favourite editions of The Silmarillion. Ted Nasmith’s illustrations are so beautiful and dramatic ❤️ #Tolkien #LOTR #TheSilmarillion

“Defeat is the theme. Triumph over the foes of man's precarious fortress is over, and we approach slowly and reluctantly the inevitable victory of death.” -J. R. R. Tolkien, Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics #Tolkien #Beowulf #LOTR

5yo: I’m writing a story! Me: What’s it about? 5yo: Smaug and Ancalagon the Black team up and fight Gandalf and the dwarves! Husband: …What have you been telling her? Me: The names of all the stars, and of all living things, and the whole history of Middle-earth and Over-heaven

This post got over 900 likes and is now my Bluesky personal best! Not sure if I will ever top that! Usually 10 likes is a job well done! 😂

Thanks to @digitaltolkien.com for starting a list of great Tolkien accounts to follow!

The first Tolkien book I owned 📚 Beautiful cover art by John Howe ❤️ #Tolkien #TheHobbit #LOTR #LordOfTheRings

And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last. -The Siege of Gondor, The Lord of the Rings #Tolkien #LOTR

‘He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.’ -The Shadow of the Past, #LordOfTheRings #Tolkien #LOTR #Autumn

Sometimes only Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings will do. I desperately wish the second half had been made… #Tolkien #LOTR #LordOfTheRings

Raise a glass of Old Winyards to Bilbo and Frodo! Happy Hobbit Day everyone! #Tolkien #LOTR #LordOfTheRings #TheHobbit #HobbitDay

A very happy birthday to The Hobbit, published on this day in 1937! The book that started it all for so many people! 💚 📚 #Tolkien #TheHobbit
