council of hobbits :3
frodo at bilbo's party is being such a good sport. no one acknowledges that it's also his birthday. his gay crush is flirting with someone else .heterosexually. the only gift he receives in honor of coming of age is the incarnation of evil. and then his uncle leaves forever without saying goodbye! and he doesn't even get to bitch about it with gandalf afterwards because he leaves immediately too! worst birthday EVER alert
so infatuated with this video
how it feels to listen to float on by modest mouse
Can't believe this hasn't been done already.
someone add a few thought bubbles coming from sams head so both he and faramir are thinking about the pride flag
Happy 20th anniversary to They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard specifically
this was SUPPOSED to be a sketch for a sketch exchange with my friends (more specifically @totallynottinsel ) but it got leaked (i couldn't keep my fat mouth shut) and now i'm posting it
as always reblogs appreciated, no reposting to other platforms, and definitely no ai. get that shit outta here
Pippin has unfortunately figured out that if he plays with something heās not supposed to, he gets my attention
as if he doesnāt get it enough š itās just when iām working and not paying attention to him bc of that work that he decides to rebel
I AM DECEASED
the lotr appendices are great by the way. it's just like "here's 53 tiny snippets, any one of which could be fleshed out into its own epic trilogy. anyway you wanna hear about calendars? saturday is actually thursday. if you even care." and like i do. i do care.
@astronicht
I'm at work so I don't have time for a transcript but look at this fucking nerd
Thank you so much! I read this and then gently put my phone down and concentrated extremely hard on cooking a hot dog. š
I justā JRR this created more questions. JRR come back here and explain yourself. Whyād you put an extra r in Tyr/Tir/Tew what did I miss???? WHAT DID I MISS JRR. And then STERRENDAI. And meresday im losing it in the club how did I miss meresday on the first read. You had better not mean horse this time JRR I want sea-day Iām fighting for it. (I have lost this fight multiple times so far)
Making Wednesday (Wodenās Day/Odinās Day) heavenās day (sky day) is the most Indo European sky god move, thatās just clever.
Unfortunately this moved me deeply! I got the urge to run outside and look at the night sky until it all made sense! Thanks for taking the time to photograph!
Jirt being Jirt, we have these same day-names in Sindarin (from which the Hobbit names are supposedly translated), so I can confirm that Mersday/Oraearon is in this case "sea-day"!
BIG W FOR THE OCEAN.
Got two pages back into Return of the King, discovered that I somehow stopped in the middle of Tolkien pausing in the middle of inventing high fantasy to invent top tier whump.
I literally canāt tell if this is a reference to something significant, early medieval lit-wise or worldbuild-wise, or if this is simply another example of Sam pov describing Frodo (canonically brushing middle age) in soul-scrapingly poetic terms as the most beautiful person he has ever seen.
Help everyone got so excited that they invENTED EASTER*. The Frodo-Sam Ascensionā¦ā¦. The irl medieval March New Year getting established like this in the Tolkienverseā¦. š
*actually since Easter is a moveable feast, while I feel like itās much more associated with the New Year, technically March 25 is um the Annunciation of the Virgin. Or Lady Day. But since neither Frodo nor Sam are experiencing a miraculous pregnancy, thematically itās still more of an Easter.
**actually I was wondering if the crumbling of Mordor and the volcano, plus waking up somewhere cool and green (tho they should be playing board games too, if Tolkien wanted to rlly match the text) were meant to echo a Norse apocalypse in the poem Voluspa as well. Sam does say āwhatās happened to the worldā and I need to properly reread Voluspa to remember, but yeah in Voluspa we see fire hitting the sky and then the new world begins, which we see rising from the sea with an eagle flying over itā not a perfect match, but (not my translation):
(I donāt know what the freaking eagles are up to; Iād assume theyāre actually the (sons of?) the eagle that makes the wind at the end of the world in the Vafthruthnismal, rather than this eagle, but idk, maybe theyāre both. Maybe there another eagle. Iām not a Norse scholar save me.)
Resetting the New Year does fit with that a little, but I think itās a shaky and very āehh, well maybeā read. And as usual, Tolkien isnāt copy/pasting . Heās crafting, heās getting a little weird with it.
The Frodo-Sam Annunciation-slash-Easter IS haunting me forever tho.
Never mind. Never mind. They find wondrous thrones in the green grass. And then tell tales of their deeds prior to Ragnarok. Iām walking into the sea.
This rlly isnāt my favorite translation but itās May Day and Iām drinking Aperol in a cafe rn and I canāt find a better one. Oh theyāre eating at beautiful tables now. Great. Great.
Nine Times Blue
I like how this wip looks at this stage, so I thought I'd just post it
It's still so funny to me that hobbit society has technology like pony-traps and handkerchiefs and post offices but the realms of Men and Elves, at least, are very much still in their version of the High Middle Ages. I would kill for a scene where Aragorn starts doing the whole Galavant thing - we shall meet when the night air grows as chill as the depths of Moria and the setting sun colours the sky that particular shade of blue as to recall to us the sinking of Numenor into the very Sea Itself - and Pippin just goes 'have none of you guys ever learned to use a freaking clock'.
