Watch the full craft talk with Relics of Arda here: (3/3)
It was such a joy to talk to Jonas about his craft – especially because he REALLY knows his lore. (2/3)
MAKER OF THE MONTH: Relics of Arda, AKA Jonas Schwartz, crafts fantastical jewelry inspired by Tolkien's Legendarium.
He is an incredibly gifted metallurgist, linguist, and more creating beautiful work in the lineage of Fëanor and Celebrimbor. (1/3)
this was a genuinely harrowing read. we are building an irreversibly mind-destroying world.
butlerian jihad, NOW.

LOVE THIS FOR OUR UNJUSTLY TYPECAST GENTLE GIANT
Writing a Lord of the Rings movie requires, first and foremost, a LOT of yapping ✍️

My name is Anna María, and I'm an independent artist who runs Makers of Middle-earth—a show where I host craft talks with other artists in the Tolkiensphere!
Check out my channel (and the full Arty & Phoebe chat) here ⬇️
EXCLUSIVE #LOTR INTERVIEW: I got to chat with Arty Papageorgiou and Phoebe Gittins, the screenwriters of the 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
Arty and Phoebe talked growing up in Middle-earth, their writing process, and more—who knew there were nosy Greek grandmas in Rohan? 💛
One does not simply make a LotR pun from one’s own name 😉💛 #sauron #lordoftherings #lotr #tolkien

Tolkien-loving cozy gamers, OUR TIME HAS COME 💛 #talesoftheshire #lotr #cozygamer #lordoftherings
John Ronald Reul Tolkien was the father of four children—as well as the metaphorical father of the entire literary genre of modern fantasy.
Happy Father’s Day, Professor. Your creations are still beloved across the globe. 💛 #tolkien #lotr
Was one of many let go by the Dot.
Got to break a ton of great stories there: the exposure of the US No Fly list, gaining early access to Truth Social & registering an account as Trump, & countless others on hacks, leaks, & misinfo.
Looking for a new gig, so don't hesitate to reach out.
I was among the many great people let go by the Daily Dot yesterday. Sad about it, obviously. One of the Dot's best characteristics was punching above its weight. I did that by single-handedly building a newsletter that was a total mess into one with an engaged, passionate audience. Will miss it.
I was unfortunately let go by the Daily Dot this week after eight years and, by my quick count, editing over 13,000 stories.
People always talk about small sites that "punch above their weight," but no one did it with as small a team and as few resources as we did.
exactly
me discussing race & tolkien in 2022: [long, eloquent monologues citing multiple letters from the professor, impassioned appeals to empathy, endless deconstruction of right-wing talking points]
me now: i do not care. the magic world has brown people. get over it. y’all are weird
it was so incredibly lovely seeing old friends and meeting new ones, all brought together by a love of tolkien. ❣️
unsurprisingly, i made my getty images debut by being one of the biggest LOTR dorks in the UK 💀 gotta stay on-brand!!!
tysm to the rings of power & prime video for the gold carpet invite. here’s a thread of some highlights ✨ #theringsofpower #primevideocreator
