tolkien writing a character inspired by his wife:

✨I will make her strong with unearthly elf powers. She will have a far larger role in the story than her husband. Also her silky hair will shine like the stars with simple but breathtaking beauty. ✨

Tolkien writing a character inspired by his best friend:

I will make him an old, grumpy tree who never gets to the point. 🌳

Okay so you know how Talion is a Northman and the first game takes place the year before the Hobbit. (Don’t ask me why Gollum is looking for a ring he still has, I don’t know and I don’t think whoever wrote Torvin’s journal entries did either LMAO)

Imagine Talion and his family fleeing the Black Gate like Ioreth wants... to Laketown, because they’re not welcome in Gondor and Talion was just like eh I’m ostensibly from the north let’s go seek our fortunes there and stop by the Argonath on the way.

Talion a year later when a fucking dragon comes out of the mountain: orz

Found a little bit of Hobbiton in the Shropshire Hills last week! Their home brewed cider was a knockout, as was the Sunday roast lunch!

September 22nd, Erebor. Ca.5 years after the battle.

Bilbo: I said I'd prefer a small birthday party, didn't I?

Thorin: This is small, isn't it?

Bilbo: ... you declared my birthday a National Holiday. With parades.

Gandalf: Happy Birthday!

Bilbo: What do you mean? Do you wish me a happy birthday, or mean that it is a happy birthday whether I want it or not; or that you feel happy this birthday; or that it is a birthday to be happy on?

Gandalf: ... you have changed, Bilbo Baggins.
