I'm raising a son. Of all the children I had, he's the only one left.

But I suppose that still makes me a mother?

GEO - the manliest element 🔸🔶 Seriously, what is happening? Why are there no men in Genshin? Have you seen electro? Razor is the only male representative! 😭 On a positive note, I’m so happy Itto is back and Gorou has a rate up! Do you plan to roll on the current banner?

[image description: tweet by Netchimen’s Reverie that reads “Tolkien describing places that are evil: no trees grow there” /end description]

This is doubtless because of his experience of the trenches in the Great War.

Like, this is what things looked like to soldiers who fought in that war (image in black and white of a solitary soldier walking across a muddy wasteland pocked with puddles):

Here’s Delville Wood, the site of a battle in 1916 (sepia image of a wasteland dotted with broken and dead trees):

Here’s an image from the Battle of the Somme, in which Tolkien participated (image of soldiers standing above and inside a trench or earthwork in a grey wasteland; smoke from artillery is on the horizon)

So yeah: no trees = evil was Tolkien’s own direct lived experience. It’s precisely why Mordor and the wastelands around it look like they do in his books.

[brunhiddensmusings]

the plateau of gorgoroth, the heartland of mordor, is described as being scarred by countless pits dug by orcs the true seat of evil is full of foxholes and trenches

[khantoelessar]

There’s a lesson to be learned here.

[purlturtle]

I hope Tolkien would be happy to learn that a hundred years on, trees grow again here:

From The Atlantic.

[nightbringer24]

I think that Tolkien would be very happy to see that.

The trees have reclaimed the land in which hell had been brought
