Pins & Patches release day is fast approaching!

We thought it was time to give a preview of everything our talented zine contributors and merch team have put together. 😏

You can see everything in our store here:

DBDA Uplifts Shop

Reminder that proceeds from this zine and its corresponding merch will go to Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity. They work with and for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. For more information, visit their website.

See you all on Monday, July 6th! 🏏❤️

Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar 2025

There are lots of exciting Tolkien fandom weeks coming up this year, so inspired by @arofili's 2023 calendar, @curiouselleth's brand new Tolkien Fandom Events community as well as @tolkienfandomevents, I decided to create a masterpost for 2025.

This list is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organisers of these events! Please check the original post for the most up-to-date version.

If you know of any events not included here, please don't hesitate to send me a message or an ask. This calendar was first posted on 13 April 2025, and only events taking place after that date will be featured. Please note that I am not running any of these events myself and that I am not responsible for any prompts/submissions part of these events.

A beautiful rainbow lights project for The Answer and a big smile from louis at the end of it

"That was fucking incredible. Thanks for that! *taps chest over heart*"

No one asked but who’s up for another fan project👀

This time, a collaborative Payneland poster—will most likely be a digital download with a list of places to order a print since shipping (especially internationally) is…not cheap.

Realistically it will be a hot minute till all of my ducks are at least in the same room to formally launch anything, but keep an eye out!
