The Arkenstone. It was like a globe with a thousand facets, it shone like silver in tge firelight, like water in the sun, like sniw under the stars, like rain upon the moon. There appears to be 2 slugs arguing over the jewel in my garden. Any mollusc experts? Eggs? #Tolkien

"He had a friend called Deagol, of similar sort, sharper-eyed but not so quick and strong. On a time they took a boat and went down to the Gladden Fields, where ther were great beds of iris and flowering reeds" #LOTR #Tolkien

Fear! Fire! Foes! Buckle up! The Horn-call of Buckleland. 1970's belt buckles from #Ralphbakshi Lord of The Rings. For all discerning Hobbits who have lost a bit of weight on a quest. Even Fatty Bolger had one after spending time in The Lockholes #Tolkien #LOTR @tolkienguide.com

It is really quite exciting to see that the lazy fucks over at places like Collider simply take your work... ... and make an even lazier AI slop post out of it. 😅 collider.com/christopher-...

Finished line art for my new illustration of "Riddles in the Dark".⁠ ⁠ Bilbo sits on the dark shore of the lake, while Gollum lurks in his little boat. Around them, circular vignettes show the riddles, with the text, hand-drawn into curved decorative bands.⁠ ⁠ What do you think of it so far?

One of my favourite #RogerGarland covers. The Lost Road #Tolkien

Charity shop purchase #AlanLee illustrated 1996 silver box set Lord of The Rings Don't think it's even been read. Didn't realise the these paperback editions are the size of hardbacks @trotter.tolkienguide.com . Weighty tomes with wonderful colour images throughout @tolkienguide.com #LOTR #Tolkien

Nicholas Bayrachny created some evocative imagery for the 1996 Belarusian #Hobbit translation. Here's four great examples: blond, bearded Elrond ponders the moon letters, Brezhnev-eyebrowed Smaug loses his cool, Bard, Gandalf and Thranduil keep the Arkenstone, little Bilbo post-battle #Tolkien

@tolkiendil.bsky.social Joyeux #HobbitDay, très chers Tolkiendili! Pour fêter l'anniversaire de Bilbo et Frodo (22 septembre), je vous propose une semaine avec un fil par jour en rapport avec les Hobbits! Aujourd'hui: Tolkien a-t-il inventé le mot HOBBIT? 🔽🧙

"This Hobbit was a very well-to-do Hobbit and his name was Baggins" JRR Tolkien's brilliant drawing of the hall at Bag End with road going ever on into the distance. "Hobbit Day" @timbolton.bsky.social #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Happy #HobbitDay Listening to my favourite adaptation by the late great Nicol Williamson. A #Tolkien fan he re-edited the original script for the abridgement and provided wonderful voices from Irish spiders & west country Bilbo to a Welsh Gollum & Scottish Beorn. Fantastic. #TheHobbit

“The winds of Rivendell” One of seven new watercolours inspired by The Hobbit for an upcoming publication by Legendaria Ediciones. Happy #HobbitDay

If you are thinking of getting the new #Hobbit Graphic Novel Revised and Expanded from @harpercollins.bsky.social illustrated by David Wenzel then I would hold off for a while, the current printing has two pages missing, so you would not get the complete story. www.tolkienguide.com/modules/newb...

It was 50% off @harpercollins.bsky.social earlier this week so would be rude not to. New revised hardback #Hobbit graphic novel & paperback version of @jemimacatlin.bsky.social fantastic illustrated edition #Tolkien

#LOTR (1978) - Ambush at Weathertop!

@tolkiendil.bsky.social Regagnez votre banc de nage, tas de crottes de rats ! Aujourd’hui l’ #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday ) célèbre les 🏴‍☠️PIRATES🏴‍☠️, et c’est l’occasion de parler de l’origine des corsaires d’Umbar, une histoire singulièrement en phase avec notre époque !🔽

I like Jan Pospíšil's unique interpretation of the Corsairs of Umbar's helmets. Visual-wise, I think they are closer to Tolkien's drawing of Númenórean helmet (setting aside the practicality and personal taste). I also saw the crown of Roger Garland's Ulmo in them. #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

It's #TolkienTrewsday Pirates! Here's a whole gang of them being overrun by the advancing Dead in Alexander Korotich's c. 1985 scraperboard pic The Corsairs. Drawn on the back of chopped up Politburo propaganda posters his work is a revelation and you can read more about it in my book #Tolkien

On 15 September 1977: J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Silmarillion was published. Edited by Christopher Tolkien, the book details the entire history of the world before The Hobbit, and goes into the legends that underpin the entire mythology including the creation of the world. #BookSky

#OnThisDay in 1950, #Tolkien writes to Stanley Unwin. Tolkien sends in a new version of CH 5 of the Hobbit.

"And suddenly he saw, towering ominously before him and leaning towards one and other like the pillars of a headless door, two huge standing stones" It's a bit Fog on the Barrow-Downs here this morning #LOTR #Tolkien

#OnThisDay in 1943, #Tolkien writes to Christopher Tolkien. Tolkien has organized the next R.N.-R.A.F. course, he will have around 40 cadets and has to attend the Passing Out Parade of the R.N. tomorrow. He is also invited to the Squadron Smoking Concert in the evening, but he may miss (1/2)

The #TolkienTrewsday (Week 133: 09/09/25) theme today is “Remembering Tolkien". J.R.R. #Tolkien died on 2nd September 1973. I wanted to do a short thread about how one adaption allows players to interact with a version of Tolkien. #LOTRO @officiallotro.bsky.social #TolkienTuesday 🧙 1/
