#TolkienTrewsday Week 158: Realms: Elves "And the house of Elrond was a refuge for the weary and the oppressed, and a treasury of good counsel and wise lore."

#TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday topic: Realms:Elves: How brave were the Wood-elves that they lived in Mirkwood, filled with giant spiders and things far worse? I love to know that their endurance was rewarded by seeing the huge forest become Greenwood once more. Imagine feasting with them then!

Yes, all of this! Can’t wait to see where his roles go.

Yesterday after all the work madness I was treated to much beauty on my walk and everything was ok for the moment. #springvibes #blossomwatch

been putting out fires at work all day and my anxiety is fuuuuu 📈

Me

Well.

Ah 🌸 #blossomwatch

BARAD DÛR

Share a TV show that raised you.

Get in there, Rob! Rising star AND the best actor! 🤩

The best film I’ve seen last year and probably the best I’ve seen ever altogether. So well deserved and John’s story deserves all this and more. 🩷

The Swallow and the White Wolf. Fanart by Viccerys (x.com/viccerys) #FanartFriday

New Rob Aramayo article on his BAFTA nomination, his new play, and "I Swear"! I'm so excited for Sunday. 🥹

No one can stop me from reading this the way Tolkien absolutely never intended.

This gave me life. What a takedown.

First sunny morning of this year.

Meee

What an absolute perfection 🩵

Gwanno 🗡️

Sometimes I forget I have irl people following me on here and that they too can see my unhinged Sauronposting. Whoops.

Throwback to this iconic moment when @galadrielswife.bsky.social post was shared on reddit with the most perfect ad alignment, which made me join that sub as well. Fan work really is thirsty work. Happy Valentine’s 😌

Through the misty forest where evil sleeps… Fanart by: x.com/dearmisterfa... #FanartFriday

“In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.” - Aragorn, The Lord of the Rings.

Feral Elrond 🔥

Ahh what a sight. 🌸

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Today at work. And it’s only 11:39am.

Well hello there 🌸 What a beautiful thing to see today.

How many meetings can a person have in one week?! Apparently all of them. And still have invites coming. And somehow it‘s still January today. At least people have stopped saying ‘happy new year’.

If you see this, post an archer.

Ayooo

"I write things that might be classified as fairy-stories not because I wish to address children... but because I wish to write this kind of story and no other." - Tolkien Letter 215

Playing with a brush I like (needed to put some colours in my mind and in my heart ☺️) #Thorin #ThorinOkenshiel #Thehobbit ✨🏮

Arwen sketch #art #lotr #fanart

This rather unhappy looking British #Roman lady is part of the @British Museum collection. She was found in #Towcester. The eyes are set close together under a furrowed brow - what the story is behind her expression is lost in time! Probably wondering when January will end!

I don’t know and also I don’t think I want to know what’s going on with this suggested search 🦖

Spring Dream

Woodland in the Snow, Henri van Seben (1825-1913).

Arien (the Maia) and Elrond.

The rugged majesty of The Mourne Mountains was the inspiration for Narnia. "I have seen landscapes (in the Mourne Mountains) which...made me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge." C.S. Lewis #BookWormSat 📷Nigel Killeen

“…but when the autumn came he saw seven great swans flying south, and he knew them for a sign that he had tarried overlong, and he followed their flight along the shores of the sea. Thus he came at length to the deserted halls of Vinyamar beneath Mount Taras...” (J.R.R #Tolkien) #Bookwormsat
