Anyone know about any in-progress conlang projects associated with upcoming movies/shows/games/etc? I'd also be interested in any artlangs (not necessarily new ones) coming from outside the Euro-American world.

🧙‍♂️ #TolkienTrewsday 📆 Week 159 (10/03/26): “Realms: Dwarves” 💎. This month’s theme of “Realms” suggested by @bladorthin.bsky.social. #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

🤩🤩🤩

Given that @johngarthwriter.bsky.social only recently had a look back at 2025... There is nothing wrong with being in good company. Here we go. thetolkienist.com/2026/03/07/2...

Ahhhh.... 😊🤩

“If, as I believe, a good story is one which can persuade us to face life neither with despair nor with false hopes, then The Lord of the Rings is a very good story indeed.” W. H. Auden, "Good and Evil in The Lord of the Rings" #Tolkien

Sincere thanks to The @tolkiensociety.org for the wonderful opportunity of keynoting at #Westmoot26. I hope to meet friends old and new! Both virtual and in-person tracks are available for attendees. Fellowship and fun for #Tolkien readers!

Anyone fancy a game of Bridge (Khazad-dûm)? Finally got hold of pack of @ralphbakshi.bsky.social Lord of The Rings playing cards. Interestingly Lobelia & Belladonna are in there. Not sure Treebeard is much of a joker though. Hm, hoom #LOTR #Tolkien

#OnThisDay in 1959, #Tolkien writes to Michael Tolkien. Writing to his son Michael, Tolkien remarks on the state of their house, and Edith's recovery from a broken arm. He also talks about his recent health struggles with his appendix and a bout of the flu. He says he shall have to give (1/2)

#lefascismetue Je voulais dans ce fil honorer la mémoire des personnes tuées par une idéologie haineuse, tout d'abord pour que leurs noms soient rappelés, et ensuite parce que nous aurons tous besoin de faits pour nous défendre contre le délitement politique actuel: ⚰️🥀 ⤵️

How I arrived on @bsky.app 🤩

This episode was a joy to record! Kristine is so much fun, and I loved learning about Tolkien and his cave sightseeing trips. I hope you enjoy it! What is your fave cave in Tolkien’s legendarium?

New merchandise coming up, out of Brooklyn, NYC - starting September fans will get dice sets. www.uberstrategist.com/press-releas...

My favourite SILMARILLION chapter? Of BELERIAND and its REALMS. 🤩😁😇💪

When did the tiny fairy trope begin? In today’s piece (part 1 of 2) I’m considering this question, looking at the work of Minor White Latham and Katharine Briggs in the 20th century. In my next piece I’ll bring us up to date with current research. 🧚 dimitrafimi.substack.com/p/when-did-t...

War changes everything, including language. Did you know "to go west", meaning "to die", entered English as WW1 soldier slang? Read how it resurrected an idea of death from ancient myth. At my blog (written before yesterday's news). No paywall. tinyurl.com/gowestWW1 #WW1 #language #myth #Tolkien

Last week and today. 23 degrees Celsius difference. wtf?

There is this amazing visual walk-through of this Hobbit tapestry for those interested artsandculture.google.com/story/AgVhaH...

A little online interview I did covering next things, Cardassia, Garak, Odo, Doctor Who, and gravy, amongst other stuff. www.progsheet.com/unamccormack...

Every now and again I feel obliged to repost David E. Alter Jr's brilliant 1982 pic Bilbo's Great Adventure. Like a cross between a Victorian neo-medieval tapestry and an 8-bit platform game it condenses the whole story of The Hobbit into one image. My fave #Tolkien detail...that awesome little Bard

FACTOID OF THE DAY. Minas Tirith is the most cycle-unfriendly city in Middle-earth.

Finished this excellent work of #Tolkien scholarship. Could not say it better than this excellent review by Taylor Driggers scholar.valpo.edu/cgi/viewcont... www.goodreads.com/book/show/24...

😱👑👺👸

Oui, un des plus grands titres de la critique sur jrr Tolkien, avec le premier shippey , Thomas honegger et les livres d'Isabelle pantin et Leo carruthers

On the latest installment in the Great Tolkien Reread, we arrive in the house of Tom Bombadil, Tolkien's most divisive character. Despite my best efforts, I'm afraid I come down on the hater side, and I try to express why in this essay.

Frodo Sam Merry Pippin

I think it's time for that SCRUBS rewatch 🤔😁😂🤩

Something special for the Lenten and Easter seasons: a pair of new prints of J.R.R. Tolkien at Saint Aloysius and C.S. Lewis at Holy Trinity in Oxford. Details in comments. #JRRTolkien #CSLewis #Oxford

One last shot taken while packing up the exhibition.

Even at the Olympics... 🤪😅

Ooh, one of the most knowledgeable and kindest scholars out there 🤩 #Tolkien

I think it is politically relevant to know where councillors go for a drink, indeed 😀😆 Not only in Oxford, of course!

It's been a very weird... feeling since about December when I was closing in on 2,000 followers... when I noticed I had 1972 followers. The year of my birth. 😇 And ever since then it felt like a slow crawl through my childhood, and early adulthood, and now I have left uni... 🤪

Love is complicated! 💖 Join us at the Carrock Smial meeting tonight to chat about Tolkien’s many depictions of love in the legendarium. The Carrock meets tonight on Zoom, 8-9 PM pacific! All are welcome! 💜

TTT Week 110 - Tolkien Tuesday: Insoluble Metrical Problems Tolkien admits to a bit of poetic masochism in a letter to his aunt Jane, as The Man of the West continues his look through the Revised and Expanded edition of Tolkien’s Letters. youtu.be/ivCLvMh4mXg?...

We are delighted to unveil our exclusive edition of Travel Light by Naomi Mitchinson in collaboration with @viragopress 🐎

As this is making the rounds again - here's my take with some background to it. thetolkienist.com/2023/11/15/a...

A small devotional piece to the jock god. Good to pick at during Olympic commercial breaks. #Tolkien #printmaking

We're proud to announce our cast for our complete #DemoRecording of Paul Corfield Godfrey's “Musical Chapters from #TheHobbit after the mythology of #Tolkien”. Laurence Cole will be performing the roles of #Smaug #Dragon and #Beorn Coming 2026 www.volanteopera.wales #hobbit #middleearth

Congrats, indeed! I am so happy indeed that an idea I had so long ago has been made into such an amazing, positive venture by so many volunteers and even more amazing @timbolton.bsky.social! ☺️ Keep up the good work, let's celebrate #Tolkien!
