sometimes the most fascinating tolkien opinions come from people who don’t know that much tolkien. recently i was staying with an aunt and she smelled a middle earth candle she had lit and said “it’s nice but a little too sweet…middle earth should smell like turned soil and ash”

#Tolkientober day 30: werewolf “and Sauron filled with wrath and pride. […] Now there came slowly forth and glared into the night a shape long-haired, dank with poison, with awful eyes, wolvish, ravenous; but there lies a light therein more cruel and dread than ever wolvish eyes had fed.”

It's almost Glowing Like A Bad Lobster In The Cellar season. Truly the most wonderful time of the year. 🥹✨️

Gonna have to take some time off to recover from dental procedure in December and I won't be paid for the leave. Even if it's just sharing around it'll help 🙏 #gofundme #mutualaid #commissions www.gofundme.com/f/gum-grafti...

Happy tech week...

I, too, would love to wake up in a bed in Elrond’s house.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

I can now say I've seen opera students do 60s hippie dances to baroque music. 👌

Pudding with a fork tomorrow and I have, once again, forgotten to buy pudding in advance. 🤦‍♀️

I'd like to apologize to every costume designer I've ever worked with; 90% of this job is writing lists, inventories, emails, and budgeting, and SHOPPING. I will collapse if I have to walk into JC Penney again. Please. Please I just want to SEW. I AM SO GOOD AT THE SEW. FREE ME FROM THESE SHACKLES.

I love sitting on the edge of the water and taking in a peaceful view. See you next year, summer! ADIRONDACK CHAIRS, 16x16”, Acrylic, SOLD

Honestly I'm at the stage where I've thought through all of the story, the characters, their plotlines, the tone and sound of the musical, and where I'm taking liberties (respectfully) and why. Now I just gotta Write The Thing.

There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's the return of my beloved Nanowrimo. 🥹

"i wish there were tolkien musicals / operas / plays / films / animations" is like drugs to me

The only way to live is with a rose-tinted future and a gold-tinted past.

People don’t fake disability, they fake being well. They aren’t stealing your tax dollars, they’re forced into legislated poverty. They’re not the reason you can’t get ahead. Denying them healthcare or social supports won’t better your life. Also, almost everyone ends up disabled eventually.

we built orc city (we built orc city) on rocks and bones

to anyone who's tried to get me into anything, i'm sorry

Segmented Sleep but not in a medieval way; more of a Dad-Nap On The Couch At 7pm sort of way. 👍

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

Awesome birthday art from @nathanprideart.bsky.social of a Guardmouse near a cairn with 20 visible stones (to celebrate Mouse Guards anniversary)

I asked my friends to suggest music for me to play on oboe. All of their suggestions related to animals, because oboists play the role of animals a lot of the time. Maybe that's why I play so many non-humanoids in TTRPGs... Anyway I went outside to touch grass and played a snippet of Bright Eyes.

everything is terrible but my dog is still adorable

📚 New arrival! Can you imagine a more summer like Hobbit edition than this French one from 1976? ⛱️ We found it at Tolkien Tage, at Henk's aka The Hobbit Hunter's booth and we love everything about it!
