Fell down the Tolkien hobbit hole a long time ago and found comfort in the lore, the adaptations, and the magic of Middle-earth.
Yesterday was a moment of redemption for me…3 years ago, I made a Chantilly birthday cake for my wife that failed in all the aesthetic ways. Yesterday, it all came together (not perfect, but I’ll take it!). A then-versus-now comparison:

I don’t have a dedicated Tolkien bookcase yet, but I have some of my favorites displayed in our living room built-ins…Tolkien incorporated into daily life. 1/3

Took a stroll through YouTube this morning and got sucked into listening to this masterpiece again, from @bardofarda.bsky.social… now, it’ll be stuck in my brain all day and it should be for all of you, as well. #luinelle #Tolkien

Re-reading the Book of Lost Tales with friends (first time cover-to-cover)…currently in ‘The Cottage of Lost Play’ and I cannot escape it (nor do I want to).

The revelation that the new ‘The Collected Poems of JRR Tolkien’ contains the poem (and fantastic Scull & Hammond analysis)…🤌

Waking up and thinking of Théoden, is all.

“Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young.”
-LotR, Book 5, Chapter 5

Loved it! Informative and irreverent (my favorite combination). Give it a listen and a follow!

Thanks @silmarilleanne.bsky.social @davidthengoldo.bsky.social for the insights and hilarity.
@the-neej.bsky.social for making this, and happily being the Ringmaster of Chaos.

Hi! Finally making my first 🦋 post, since I plan on making this my primary day-to-day Tolkien feed now.

I’m looking forward to continuing to engage with the finest of the Tolkien community on here, old friends and new. Hopefully, this new smial sticks around for a while. 🤞😊
