When Sam decides not to use the ring because “…one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm,” isn’t that kind of a stab at Galadriel?

Finwe’s Family Tree

So last year I made Finwe’s family tree on an app on my phone and I just now put it into a family tree maker on my laptop. So enjoy and use it for whatever purposes you want, and as always if you see something that is missing or is wrong then DM, reblog or comment and I’ll fix it.

Am I the only one who finds the Council of Elrond incredibly funny? The fact that when something goes wrong, everyone in Middle Earth immediately goes to Elrond for advice, whether an elf, a dwarf, or a man, is just- well. We all know who has all the brain cells in Middle Earth and surprisingly enough, people of Middle Earth seem to know it as well.

So maybe they should start actually listening to him.

Gollum escapes? -> Elrond

Nazgul are being annoying and knock on your door ten times a day? -> Elrond

Sauron's ring has been found? -> Elrond

You have a weird dream? -> Elrond

Saruman is being a dick? -> Elrond

Most of those people don't live even near Rivendell, but evidently, Elrond is just a to-go person when you or someone else fucks up.

Then there's Bilbo chilling on a visit.

Elrond is Middle Earth’s therapist.

Shelf-Confidence Book Photo Challenge: December 22nd – I’m Dreaming Of…

I’m dreaming of having read all these Tolkien books I’ve got on my shelf. Somehow, my collection grew from like two copies of The Hobbit to 20 different books (and a few extra editions) in the span of a year – whoopsie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[smthrillion]

OP you should definitely drop a list of all the books you have and how many copies. Because I’m interested
