I made a map to express the way I feel about the geography of Middle Earth because JRRT suffers from something I like to call “has never seen a mountain range in his life”

[bailesu]

The Mountains of Shadow are the result of tectonic lift as a side-effect of the War of Wrath.

The western end of the Sea of Helekar became Mordor after the War of Wrath.

Also, some of these mountains were raised by Morgoth.

Hey so this is actually worse.

Boromir Week: Final Shot

You can thank @aranov for the request of Boromir in armor with his hair in a bun.

He's followed Aragorn through Dunharrow and down the river to reach Minas Tirith in it's final hours, and after scything his way across Pelennor like a man possessed, he makes his final stand in front of the lower gate to the city. Here he is in the breaths after, when he turns to see the city in flames---but standing.

Happy @boromir-week to one and all.

Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

[cryptotheism]

King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.

[betterbemeta]

He didn't want to talk to you.

[swaglexander-the-great]

[findingfeather]

Uh.

Point of order.

King of Horses ran 450 fucking miles at almost entirely a gallop, without more than a few minutes rest, in 4 nights and basically was like "wait why are we stopping?" when Gandalf took him into the city and he ended up in a stable.

This was not his top speed, nor did it push any limits on his endurance.

King of horses is very different from other horses, actually.

[elodieunderglass]

He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties

[darkwizardtheorist]

But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[twelvemonkeyswere]

not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

Sauron walking into Eregion like

me after reanimating the corpse of tolkien: so later on in the show, galadriel’s new bestie, halbrand, is revealed to be sauron, which kind of erases celebrimbor as a character and his contribution to the main conflict

tolkien: that’s what you’re worried about when two of the beatles are still living? go finish the job

[rosetinted--clouds]

I refuse to be normal about him this season, the hair!?!? The armour!? The EVERYTHING
