@tolkiendil.bsky.social A l'occasion de l'anniversaire de Christopher Tolkien (21 novembre), l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) du mardi 18 novembre aura pour thème: PERES ET FILS Postez donc à cette occasion: 🧙Christopher, Mickael, John: personnages, inspirateurs, critiques et éditeurs⤵️

On Rememberance Day, I’m briefly pondering two unexpected moments of Tolkien recalling his war experience. #TolkienTuesday #TolkienTrewsday dimitrafimi.substack.com/p/tolkien-tu... @tolkiensociety.org @tolkienguide.com @uofgfantasy.bsky.social

"Mr. Bilbo has learned him his letters – meaning no harm, mark you, and I hope no harm will come of it." ⁠ Line art, but I am going to make a fully coloured illustration. What do you think of it so far?

À toutes les victimes, leurs familles, leurs proches, Aux ami•es disparu•es, À toutes celles et ceux qui vivent douloureusement cette journée, Grosses pensées émues. #13Novembre

#13novembre 😢

Mae govannen, Mellyn Tolkiendili !

Ai na vedui, mellyn Tolkiendili !

The Doors of Durin are among the most iconic images in Tolkien’s world. There are many illustrations where they are shown closed, but I wanted to capture a different moment: when the riddle is solved and the doors open.

Yes, I've posted it before (and before that) but I care not! Galloping full pelt from MERP Gorgoroth (1990) come Angus McBride's breakneck Nazgûl trio. Glimmering armour, billowing cloaks, malevolent red-eyed horses and a female Ringwraith about to hack off your head. "This - is - Mordor!" #Tolkien

When Faramir, Éowyn, & Merry need help from the Houses of Healing, there is no charge for the service. Aragorn and the healers healed because it's the right thing to do when anyone is sick or hurt, and because the place of healers in Gondor was respected & supported. This is how this should work.

The Great War. Tanks at the Gates of Gondolin Great article by @johngarthwriter.bsky.social & brilliant illustration by #RogerGarland johngarth.wordpress.com/2016/12/09/t... If you've not read Tolkien & The Great War then you should @timbolton.bsky.social #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Siegfried Sassoon, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mosab Abu Toha, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and Usmar Ismail shared a thing: grounded, realistic depiction of war impacts and its subsequent disillusionment in modern era, forcing us to reexamine the fervor of "war glory". 🧵1/6 #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

Des réflexions sur le dirigeable de guerre et sur les soldats qui comme lui rêvaient de langues inventées, c'est la contribution de @dimitrafimi.bsky.social à l' #ArbrediTolkien sur LA GRANDE GUERRE! 🙏

@tolkiendil.bsky.social "Quand la guerre a pris fin, en 1918, tous mes amis proches, sauf un, étaient morts." (Préface au Seigeur des Anneaux). L' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) vous invite, en ce jour d'Armistice, à découvrir comment 🥀LA GRANDE GUERRE🥀 est partie intégrante de son oeuvre: ⤵️

TolkienTrewsda: The Great War - Fallen banners of fallen men ”I remember well the splendour of their banners,’ he said. ‘It recalled to me the glory of the Elder Days and the hosts of Beleriand…” #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Chaque fois que @jfgagnon67.bsky.social publie un fil, tous les fans de Tolkien intéressés par ses sources de régalent 😋

@tolkiendil.bsky.social On connaissait depuis longtemps l'amour de Robert Plant de #LedZeppelin pour #Tolkien, mais sa joie quand il se rend compte qu'il n'est pas le seul à connaître des passages par coeur fait plaisir à voir! 😊

Elen síla lumenn' omentielvo, mellyn Tolkiendili !

Si c'est votre anniversaire aujourd'hui, vous le partagez avec Hedy Lamarr, beauté fatale de l’âge d’or des studios hollywoodiens mais aussi et surtout inventrice de génie ! (Et bon anniversaire !) 👉 https://l.sciencesetavenir.fr/TH7

Just went out to see the sunrise. The drama that unfolds every morning, and yet I often miss. Grateful for living out here.

@tolkiendil.bsky.social Le 11 novembre cette année tombe un mardi! Et mardi, c'est l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) qui aura donc pour thème 🥀LA GRANDE GUERRE🥀. Préparez donc bouquets de coquelicots, myosotis et bleuets pour célébrer les sujets suivants: 🥀Tolkien et la Grande Guerre⤵️

Brand new prints available today of "Goldberry's Washing Day"! A marvelous fairy-tale scene. More links in comments! www.miriamellis.com/product-page... #Tolkien #TolkienArt #Goldberry #TomBombadil #TheLordoftheRings #Hobbits

How do you imagine the Crown of Gondor? 👑 In the book it is described beautifully, a jewelled silver helm with pearl wings. But it's difficult to actually depict. No wonder there are few illustrations and the film depicted it totally differently.⁠ So, obviously, I had to try it myself. 😁

Ai na vedui, mellyn Tolkiendili,!

Aujourd'hui paraissent 2 nouvelles éditions d'œuvres de #Tolkien en France : ☝️ L'intégrale du #SeigneurdesAnneaux en poche chez Folio, dont nous avons partagé une photo hier ! ✌️ Le Retour du Roi, en relié aux Éditions Christian Bourgois , dont nous avons partagé quelques photos début juin.

THE TOWER OF CIRITH UNGOL

A little comparison of my two illustrations, which capture scenes just moments apart from Chapter 5 of the Hobbit: "There is a Shadow by the Door" and "Buttons on the Doorstep".

I approached them a little differently and used different techniques. Which one do you like better? ☺️

Mae govannen, Mellyn Tolkiendili !

TolkienTrewsday: Akallabêth - Tar-Míriel trying to reach the Meneltarma before the wave #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Things got a bit damper in Númenor after this chap arrived. ‘The Haven of Moriondë’ Ltd Edition Roger Garland print and cover of The Lost Road & 1989 Tolkien Calendar. Love this painting. “Akallabêth” for #TolkienTrewsday #Tolkien @timbolton.bsky.social

In a letter to Christopher Bretherton (16 July 1964), Tolkien mentioned a nightmare of a great wave, which he wrote in The Lost Road and Akallabêth. It reminds me of "smong verse" from Simeulue, Aceh, which teaches islanders what to do when smong (tsunami) comes. 1/2 #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

@tolkiendil.bsky.social Le 5 novembre est la journée mondiale de prévention contre les tsunamis. C'est l'occasion pour l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) de rappeler l'AKALLABĒTH, le récit bouleversant de la chute de Númenor 🌊🏯⬇️

Working on a new book proposal at the mo...a semi-perilous dungeon-crawl through ‘70s & ‘80s fantasy art in the unreliable company of a wide-eyed teenage wannabe-artist fanboy (me) and a wizened bearded academic (also me). To put you in mind of that era, here's Jimmy Cauty's 1976 classic #Tolkien

Aurë entuluva, mellyn Tolkiendili !

Hope so! It was marvellous! 🤩🤩🤩
