😅💀😭🙈 #LOTR #Luinellë #middleearth #Tolkien

Did a thing to help support myself... I’ve opened a storefront (link in bio), starting with Off to Find Faërie: Faërie has been a source of beauty, peril, strength & consolation long before Tolkien. Tees, totes, mugs & more now available if it speaks to you too? #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

New edition of the Bree Crossroads newsletter is out!

Wherever you are, may this Hobbit Day bring you rest, recovery and consolation, and renewed hobbitry to face the world right now. Here’s to Bilbo, Frodo, and the enduring spirit of the Shire. #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë

Happiest birthday to The Silmarillion today! Of all Tolkien's works, this one is dearest to my heart. Art credit of course goes to Ted Nasmith for this Eärendil the Mariner piece. #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë

It's up and running!!! Check out this thread for the link, details, and more! If Bree Crossroads is one of my Silmarils, the PPP Discord is another, the PPP Moot is my third Silmaril and the one I'm most proud of. #Tolkien #LOTR #Silmarillion #Middleearth

JRR #Tolkien’s The #Silmarillion was published #OTD 48 years ago. Here is a majestic depiction by kuliszu of its epic opening, the Ainulindalë: the harmony of the Music of the Ainur and the Discord of Melkor. www.deviantart.com/kuliszu/art/... www.deviantart.com/kuliszu/art/...

I wrote a little diary of my time in Oxford for #Oxonmoot, which you can read on my blog before I overthink and delete it because I forgot to mention multiple people and the delightful moments I shared with them. voirtolkien.hypotheses.org/1268

Leave something Tolkien/Middle-earth related that’s encouraging below. Picture, your favorite place, story, quote, character, pet, art piece, or something else. And if you find something here that helps, save it as something to reach for when it’s dark. 🫂✨ #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë

Oh hey, it's this thing I'm coordinating! Make sure you're following @prancingponypod.bsky.social for updates, including when we open up registrations! #Tolkien #LOTR #Middleearth #Luinellë

A belated thank you to everyone who helped make this year's OMS truly exceptional! Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Mythopoeic Press's Perilous and Fair was such an honor. We're pleased to announce that the presentations are now live at dc.swosu.edu/oms/oms4/ for everyone to enjoy!

As we wrap up the #AmonHen August Art Challenge and head into fall, #Tolkientober will be coming back this October, in collaboration with the #TolkienTrewsday crew! As usual, I’d love to get prompt suggestions from the Tolkien community! Here’s the previous two years for some inspiration ❤️

#Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth folks!!!

What comes to mind when you think of an autumn in the Shire? Any specific items? #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth

On 4 February 1937, The Oxford Magazine published Tolkien's humorous poem, "The Dragon's Visit", about a dragon sleeping under the cherry tree in the garden of an Englishman, Mr. Higgins. It ended up being confronted by a fire brigade. 1/8 🧵 #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday 🎨: J.R.R. Tolkien (1927)

Remembering and honoring Tolkien today on the anniversary of his passing. Thinking of my love of his works and Legendarium, the ways I’ve connected with him through his writings, and his second legacy that is the Tolkien community. #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth

COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME? 😀 I would love to have my newsletter get to 1,000+ subscribers by Frodo's and Bilbo's Birthday on Sept 22... ... but for that I would need your support in sharing this and letting people know about THE ROVING RANGER. If you need to hear a reason why... here are seven 😅

Who all has read Unfinished tales? What’s your favorite section of you have? If you haven’t yet, are you looking forward to it? Is there a section you’ve been looking forward to reading? (If you have more than one favorite, that’s totally okay! I do too!) #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë

👣 “Harfoots on the Landscape: The Migration based on details from Episode 5” 🍎 A mini-essay #TheRingsofPower #TROP #Tolkien This thread first appeared on Twitter (25 September 2022), but now comes to BlueSky via the #TolkienTrewsday theme for Week 131: "Wandering but not lost". 🧵 1/

I see everyone talking about Taylor Swift so if you like Taylor Swift AND The Lord of the Rings, you might enjoy this deep dive into the history of Middle-earth I created loosely themed after the Eras Tour. ✨ The Eras of Arda | The Full History of Middle-earth | Tolkien Lore youtu.be/OEL4-h_tYWE

At long last I’ve climbed out of the journey through Mirkwood that was Bree Crossroads’ hiatus. It feels good to get back to guiding folks across Middle-earth & the Tolkien Community. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to find and use my voice again. #Tolkien #Luinellë #middleearth #LOTR

I'm curious about something! When it comes to adaptations showing/conveying ósanwe, who do you think does it best: Peter Jackson's films, Rings of Power, or Lord of the Rings Online? (Or none of the above!) #LordoftheRings #LOTR #middleearth #Luinellë #Tolkien

This week on the blog: Death! We continue out look at what life was like for pre-industrial peasant farmers - most humans who have ever lived - with a discussion of the mortality regime they lived and died under and why 'life expectancy' can be a deceptive statistic. acoup.blog/2025/07/18/c...

Have you seen @miriamellis.bsky.social’s #Tolkien art yet? What’s your favorite of her pieces? #LOTR #Luinellë

Sharing @prancingponypod.bsky.social’s own to remind #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë folks that they’re on here!

So I've been seeing folks getting into various #Tolkien books for the first time, looking for ways to connect with folks in the Tolkien community, wanting thoughts on adaptations; I wanted to put my comfort read/emotional support book out there as it's 50% off right now: tinyurl.com/wwlmeaudiobook

Just something swirling around the brain recently. #LOTR #Luinellë #Tolkien

Hot take: sometimes I honestly just want to walk away from the Tolkien community or get a magic ring and pull a Bilbo. Sometimes it’s painful, sometimes it doesn’t meet my idealistic desires or expectations for it to be my source of faërie. #LOTR #anime #Luinellë #Tolkien

My house is altogether too quiet and lacking of discussions of #Tolkien, other nerdery, the sounds of folks coming together over good food or just together in whatever empty space might allow us to hang out, and a healthy dose of snark... #LOTR #Luinellë

Back from a tough season, and slowly reclaiming my voice. If you’re still here, thank you. And if you’re a mod, a community builder, or just a quiet presence in fandom spaces, this one’s for you, and this is your reminder that your voice matters. 💚 #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

Feeling the need for some pick-me-ups today (and maybe you are too 🫂), so I’m starting a thread to share a few! - your most recent #Tolkien shelfie - a pet with a Middle-earth or Tolkien-related name - a place you've been to that makes you feel like you're in Middle-earth #Luinellë #LOTR

Day 11!!! Today I'm doing Favorite Dwarf in Vanyë's Tolkien Challenge #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë #Tolkien30

Day 10 of Vanyë's Tolkien Challenge! ☺️ Favorite Man! Today I’m going with two of my favorite Men in Middle-earth, Háma and Farmer Maggot, who might as well be the Middle-earth versions of two of my favorite men in real life. #Tolkien #Tolkien30 #LOTR #Luinellë

Catching up again on Vanyë's Tolkien Challenge! Here are days 7-9 for me! #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

Just found my new favorite Éowyn art, a piece by Michael Kaluta (1994). The style reminds me of the covers of the very first fantasy series I ever read. I love seeing a heroine I connect with so deeply now drawn similarly to the badass heroines who first sparked my love of fantasy. #LOTR #Tolkien

On Day 6 for me of Vanyë's excellent Tolkien Challenge - Favorite Valar! I've got two I refuse to choose between. 🙈😊 #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

With s2 behind us, this is officially a ✨Galadriel Silver Gambeson Build Thread✨ This costume was designed for me personally and I am so excited to sew squiggly lines for days! It has everything for me: sewing, leatherwork, embroidery, asymmetry, ahhhh!

Finally catching up on this beautifully curated challenge from Vanyë
