This fandom is all the correct kinds of insane

For a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband’s gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came. — JRR Tolkien

THIS MAKES ME HAPPY!! (Spoilers in alt text)

I am a solid 2 years into hardcore LOTR fandom and I am still constantly confused and overwhelmed by ALL THE NAMES FOR THINGS

Walks in foggy winter forests where crystal-clear droplets are prettily catching what little light is left of the day. 🤍 #mallornphotos

I have several problems with this chart

share a character (/ actor, really) who didn’t deserve their fate. (pls use alt text!) #justiceformonica 🐋🎶

I have my wine and cheese sorted and am ready to settle down for tonight’s #TROPrewatch 🥰

I saw this sweet little comment on a classical guitar cover of Evenstar on YouTube. This lil kiddo was browsing YouTube and found LOTR 🥹

waiting for s3 of trop be like

Post a female character you love.

Eldest. The incredible one-shot as Elrond and Galadriel depart Lindon. Their argument at the bridge and their later heart-to-heart. The masterfully rendered Barrow-Wights. Markella Kavenagh and Tanya Moodie’s moving performances. Arondir and the Ents. Adar’s Fëanorian lisp.

Post a female character you love

Edvard Munch's 'The Sun' (1911) gives me serious Silmarillion vibes.

Rings of Power season 1 concept arts, a thread🧵

Éowyn was a shieldmaiden of Rohan, daughter of Éomund and Théodwyn, younger sister of Éomer and niece of King Théoden. 🛡️🐴 -art by Yidanyuan

Rickrolling in Elvish, translated by Marie Prosser of the Silmarillion Film Project and performed by Vilori of Exploring the Lord of the Rings. #Quenya #Tolkien #ConLangs #Linguistics #SignumU

Tell me it’s not just me

Happy New Year tropsky 🥳🥳

If you’re not sure if you should check out the Rings of Power, this edit is a great overview of what an artistically masterful and epic-in-scale show this is.

@tolkiendil.bsky.social L'hiver et les fêtes de Noël baignent les oeuvres de #Tolkien. Le mardi 31 décembre, pour bien terminer l'année, nous aurons pour triple thème de l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday): HIVER/NOËL/YULE (Noël des Hobbits) N'hésitez pas à poster sur l'inspiration suivante:⤵️

Tolkien describes Elrond as “kind as Summer,” but an earlier draft described him as “kind as Christmas.” #TolkienTrewsday Video: @peredhelheart.bsky.social (on TikTok)

galadriel/celeborn wardrobe inspiration ✨

🧙🏼‍♂️ #TolkienTrewsday has been running for over a year now on Twitter, but with all the hustle and bustle of preparing for and running each week, sometimes it may seem daunting for newcomers to join in. Let’s talk! A 🧵…

I also love them

Where is the lie, though?? #theSilmarillion

That is literally what a magic system is. Christianity itself is a magic system. Whether he wants to call it magic or not, it is magic.

where's the new RINGS OF POWER season my elvish is fading from disuse

Post your Queen.

No one does courtly love like them, of course I had to edit them with this song

And the last one I'll share tonight, This. From the Season 2 soundtrack. A tribute. A masterpiece. If you want to know Tolkien's truest deepest heart, you can just listen to this. youtu.be/L7oaZxdAMzI?...

Tolkien himself could've written this song. In the 2nd Age, the Shire doesn't exist yet. Harfoots have no home. They must wander (migrate) through a very dangerous world. Wonderfully sung by Nori's best friend, Poppy (Megan Richards), as they travel. Harfoots forever !! :)) youtu.be/MZDaDG9LVzU?...

If anyone is in need of a little holiday cheer, Tesla rolled out a software update for Christmas and it bricked a whole bunch of Cybertrucks www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/thread...

to hold you to me #jayvik

I’m at a super professional science conference this week with a bunch of super smart people, and don’t get me wrong I love what I do, but it’s so funny that some part of my brain is always thinking about how Elrond loves Galadriel a thousand years deep like omg what is that even LIKE

No shade to this person (cept for staying on X) but Sauron was never on a redemption arc. He just *wanted her to believe he was.* The creepy uncanny valley Halbrand is not a recreation, because Halbrand never existed. It’s just Sauron with the illusion stripped away. It’s Sauron as he actually is.

Lmao today I learned that Elves hate cats (Source: Tale of Tinúviel)

Day 7: fav Doggett scene #xfiles25days #TheXFiles That man was a great and loyal friend.

Telling my kids these are their grandparents

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to learn that Morfydd Clark is neurospicey. That you can be neurodivergent AND ALSO be Galadriel. She had a timer go off during an interview. She thinks Galadriel and Sauron have the same flavor of synesthesia. Bless this precious human. Bless her all day long.
