Thanks! It was pretty rough but I’m finally back to normal ❤️

Thank you! It was a rough week but I’m finally feeling okay

Just tested positive for covid so it looks like it’s time to lock myself in my room for a few days and do a trop rewatch

without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I think 1 is more likely but omg the idea that Gandalf might have told her is making me tear up, I love that

Been thinking about my one of my favorite Tolkien quotes a lot in the last few days:

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

This chapter feels like the vibe today, unfortunately. Aurë entuluva though, right?

Hey, everybody! I'm in bluesky now. Let's start with a little watercolor drawing

Here is Sauron in Dol Guldur

#sauron #lotr #tolkien #silmarillion #illustration

Well now I feel very dramatic

Never worked with clay before but I took a class today and tried to make a hobbit door mug. Maybe I’ll be better at it next time lol (I still like it tho)

In season one she was more of a main character, but I think I’d argue that Sauron is going to be the main character of the entire series

I’m feeling really bummed out bc of the tiktok ban today. The community we built there helped me through some of my worst times and now it’s just gone. Bsky is all I’m using now, so I’m grateful for how supportive the trop/tolkien community is on here and I’m so happy to be a part of it ❤️

I’m american but I agree. It blows my mind that people who claim to be progressive don’t understand how fucked our system is or why everyone hates us (and they should tbh). Trying to convince other americans we aren’t this amazing country is so frustrating it makes me want to scream. It’s exhausting

Ooos I just saw this but these are great picks! Éowyn’s lament especially is so underrated

Top five songs from any Tolkien adaptation?

When I first read the Silmarillion I couldn’t keep a lot of the house of Finwë names straight so I’d just refer to them as “fin…something” Fingon, Finrod, and Fingolfin ended up being my favs so I thought it was a fitting username 🤷🏻‍♀️

Elrond cliffdiving to escape difficult family conversations with wanted gemstones in hand is so First Age of him what a legend

Haha thank you but I think the bloody nose just makes it even funnier

Top 10 Favorites:

1. Fingon! Fav character period
2. Boromir
3. Narvi
4. Bilbo
5. Nienna
6. Sauron
7. The Silmarillion
8. My mom rented FotR when I was 5. Been obsessed ever since
9. Tbh I don’t read a ton outside of Tolkien. Song of Achilles, maybe
10. The Mummy (1999). It’s a perfect rom com

I was 5 when FotR came out, and I was just remembering that the first time I saw it, I got so overexcited reenacting a scene that I punched myself in the face and gave myself a bloody nose. Happy to say my enthusiasm for Tolkien hasn’t diminished even a little bit since then lol

Fëanor and Fingolfin when they met each other again in the Halls of Mandos

Fingon AND Hozier? My two faves ❤️ I love this

Beautiful late christmas present from my best friend

Literally everyone in the house of Finwë! I love them all so much

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?

#wotrspoilers one last thing: this was the most lore-accurate Tolkien adaptation and it’s not even close. I don’t want to hear anything from the “respect for tolkien” crowd on this one
