Let's build a giant recommendation thread. Every few weeks I stumble across someone whose work makes me stop scrolling and think, "How have I never seen this before?" So I'd love your help. Tag a Tolkien artist whose work you love or share a favorite piece of their work.

Executive decision paralysis is a right pain sometimes.

The talent of the artists in the Tolkien fandom is like looking up at the stars in the night sky, first in the city, and then in the countryside--you see some at first, and then the more you look, the more there are twinkling and shining so brightly. And they're all so brilliant!

Announcing our first confirmed artists for the Tolkien & Middle-earth Online Artist Exhibition! Registration is open now for artists, attendees, and anyone who loves Tolkien-inspired art (link in bio!); more artists announcements are still to come!

Calling all Tolkien artists! 👀

A dear friend's recent post made me want to inquire... what is it you most like to discuss with others about Tolkien and his works? What is it you most like to talk about, to muse over, to pour over, to dig into?

The Tolkien & Middle-earth Online Art Exhibition, hosted by @roac.bsky.social and taking place August 15, 2026, is now accepting registrations, artwork submissions, and presentation proposals.

I'm excited to announce the Tolkien & Middle-earth Online Artist Exhibition, taking place August 15! The event will feature a virtual gallery, artist talks, presentations, workshops, and opportunities to connect with creators and Tolkien fans from across the community. #Tolkien #Luinellë #LOTR

Proud #Tolkien community moment: I have a hard rule that you must ask someone before you DM them in my spaces, and watching my folks practice that more brings me joy. It's important to practice consent, boundaries, and giving people the ability to say no even in small ways in Tolkien communities.

Link is in my bio!

So I did a thing... Come check it out I guess? ... ... ... Actually please come check it out! 👉🏻👈🏻 Link is in the bio! #Tolkien #middleearth #LOTR #lotr

Did you know your favorite Tolkien content can often take hours of shooting, reshooting, writing, schedule, researching, editing, and more? I know a lot of creators offer their time, efforts, and knowledge as a labor of love, sometimes with ways to support them!

Just finished watching season one of Frieren with my two Tolkien movie night groups (most of whom it was their first time watching it and some of whom aren't big into anime!). Who all here is a Frieren fan or who has been meaning to watch it? #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #anime #Frieren

Inspired by PPP Plays and exploring Edoras in @officiallotro.bsky.social today!

The beautiful, perilous, strengthening, deeply enriching community journey @themiddlepage.bsky.social is taking folks on is absolutely one worth joining, and right now she’s diving into “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil” over on Substack! #Tolkien #lotr #middleearth #LOTR

#OnThisDay in 1950, #Tolkien writes to Stanley Unwin. Relations between Tolkien and Allen & Unwin had begun to become strained as Tolkien felt that A&U were not open to publishing his work as he would have liked, and during this period Tolkien was introduced to Milton Waldman of the (1/5)

It’s so important to support the creators, pages, spaces, and friends whose work you enjoy... whether that’s sharing their posts, leaving a like, adding a thoughtful comment, or engaging in the conversation.

Leave me something beautiful from Tolkien's works, creations centered around Tolkien/Middle-earth, and/or the Tolkien community.

Check out a clip from our recent PPP Plays LOTRO Livestream in which Hilbern the Hobbit attempts tightrope walking and demonstrates the popular in-game pastime of breaking one's ankles. youtu.be/kpaWMWA9Q60

Just your gentle reminder that it's okay to get burned out on community, talking Tolkien, and taking space for a bit. You're welcome back anytime; there's always a place for you.

Something lovely for your feeds if you have some time today or want some beautiful, carefully crafted, M-e inspired and transportive music! Celtic Prog Rock Musician Dave Brons has a new album coming out today, as well as a launch party he's holding online shortly at 3p EDT that I'll be attending.

Well it really and truly is that day of the year: March 25... Tolkien Reading Day! (It's also the day of the downfall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring, of course. That may be an important thing that happens on this day, too.)

It’s World Poetry Day! What are your favorite Tolkien poem(s) within or outside of his Legendarium?

TOLKIEN READING DAY 2026 📚 A global map of events 🗺️ 🌏 Do you have an event to add? Let me know! Doesn't matter whether it has already happened or not - I would LOVE to add it. maps.app.goo.gl/R5DZvr8PLDZD...

I wrote a small thing on Tolkien Reading Day events. Admittedly it's incredibly experiential, but then so is Tolkien Reading Day for me. I hope you'll take some time to read & share; I hope even more that I'll see you at one of the events happening either tomorrow or throughout the week. Link below!

Since the news is already out there, and others have done graphics, here's my graphic! Might make another one later. :)

Doing an experiential write-up on Tolkien Reading Day and its various events only to get hit square in the chest with writer's block.

Hey there! I'm glad you're in the Tolkien community, you're welcome here, and your voice/thoughts on Tolkien, Middle-earth, its adaptations and art on it matter, but it's okay to be here even if you don't share anything. #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth

What's something folks find lovely about Tolkien's works?

Just want to be super clear about the Bree Crossroads spaces and platform. I 100% agree with Celebreabird here in this perfectly eloquent write-up she did on Tolkien being for *everyone*. It's worth a read and re-read; hell a bookmark while you're at it. manymeetings.substack.com/p/tolkien-is...

On yet another watch-through of Spirited Away. I've seen this film 100 times, and I'll watch it another hundred if I can.

When you first joined the Tolkien Community and getting into Tolkien's works with others... what helped you dive in? What made you feel welcome? What enticed you into sharing your thoughts on Tolkien's writing with others? #Tolkien #LOTR

New Prints Now Available of "Lake Evendim in the Days of the King" from the Epilogues to The Lord of the Rings. More links in comments. www.miriamellis.com/product-page... #Tolkien #TolkienArt #LOTR

I may regret this, but for every like, I'll give a fact about the "Hunt for Gollum" story from the text.

Happiest birthday to the man who introduced me to faërie, as well as rest, recovery, and consolation, who is my first favorite storyteller and subcreator, and whose works have been my constant source of comfort since I was 6: Hayao Miyazaki. Prepare for Studio Ghibli stuff today! #StudioGhibli

#OnThisDay in 1937, #Tolkien writes to Susan Dagnall. Tolkien details work he has recently completed on maps for The Hobbit, as well as other suggestions.

Happy 134th birthday to the man, the myth, and the legend that is J.R.R. Tolkien. Every year, today, we get to celebrate the man who gave us The Lord of the Rings and so much more. What brought you to Middle-earth? Cheers to the Professor! 🍻

Enjoying some @prancingponypod.bsky.social Plays and LOTRO today and some @tolkiensociety.org toasts and catching up with folks today to celebrate Tolkien! It’s mind blowing how so much of my life and existence

The lovely MGCoco is putting a thing together! Thank you for featuring me, lovely!!! #Tolkien #Luinellë #LOTR

Stealing this excellent question from @nateanite.bsky.social, asker of excellent questions: What are your absolute necessities to pack when attending a Moot (or even a Con)? #Tolkien #LOTR #Luinellë

I've been wanting to revisit a moment in Tolkien's Legendarium for comfort today, and I have my usual preferred passages for this, but I want to hear what others go to as well. What are your favorite joyful moments to return to in the Legendarium? #Tolkien #Luinellë #LOTR

Since it’s Spooky Day, what are your favorite eerie, haunting, or horror-tinged moments, places, creatures, or passages from Tolkien’s Legendarium (or his other works)?

If you've been on @donmarshall72.bsky.social's clockapp coworking livestreams (which are my favorite to join while I get things done) or seen some of his videos recently... IYKYK Also go check out his latest videos, join his Patreon, and come hang out with us whenever he does them! #Tolkien #LOTR

Folks talking about getting into Tolkien through his works, the various films, friends, RoP... and I'm over here having gotten into them through Lord of the Rings Online... 🙈 #LOTR #Luinellë #Tolkien
