Happy Friday everyone!

Super thankful that we have such talented artists like
@armenelos.bsky.social in the #Tolkien community. And also super thankful for the generosity of everyone. We are about $260 away from our next goal 👏

Golden autumnal maple tree photographed from below. Completely blue skies.

A gravel path and trees in golden autumn hues. The golden trees are reflected on the surface of a large puddle of water. Lots of fallen leaves. Clear blue sky.

What I adore most about autumn is that it makes it so easy to connect with the inner child! Catching falling leaves and taking in all the colours is a kind of magic that reminds me of childhood and seeing wonder everywhere. I spent so long just playing under the golden leaves today. 💛🍂✨️

“…another of the film’s strengths: it is very, very funny. Without ever punching down…”

YES!! Yes this. Ron’s comic timing is perfect and he knows when to make it so we’re laughing with him, and when to make it so we’re taking him and the situation seriously. It’s excellent acting.

😅

Free Palestine 🍉

I guess I don’t mind given that it’s only 8 episodes and they took 3.5 years to come out.

Númetober continues this month as our 7th raffle prize reveal for our fundraiser will be… not one…not two…but THREE unbelievable art prints by the talented @armenelos.bsky.social !

Black and white pastel drawing of King Durin III., an elderly dwarf with a stubborn gaze and an extensive beard, wearing a metal crown

„The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame.“
I’m doing a TRoP villains series on Instagram mainly with the #inktober prompts. ☺️
The older Durin is perfect for „reckless“ and „rings“ 💍 #tolkientober #tolkienart #khazaddum

I can’t believe they’re restricting COVID vaccination there. I thought it was only a US proble.

Praying and hoping with all my heart that this ceasefire lasts and this genocide ends. And that the people of Gaza get all the food, aid, and necessities they need to survive and thrive 🙏

Thanks for sharing 😊

⛵️🌊 Númetober Day 6: Your favorite Númenor quote (canon) 🌊⛵️

"Their reward is their undoing ~
or the means of their temptation." ~The Akallabêth

(Reusing an old graphic of mine because why reinvent the wheel, I guess!)

Yikes 😬

What was the argument about?

I just know that one song from them.

Kemen arrives at Pelargir with other Numenorian soldiers. He is wearing a sling on his right arm, a green and golden cloak, with a lighter green shade tunic. The soldiers are wearing golden armored breastplates over green shirts and pants. Kemen said in the captions: “Pelargir is no longer a colony of Numenor but a fortress for its soldiers. And I am its commanders.”

Jack Lowden’s Sauron is speaking in front of many orcs. He has long light brown hair and is dressed in red regal outfit that has gold trims.

Pam from The Office, dressed in a pink sweater, says they are the same picture.

S3 speculation but I wonder if Kemen eventually gets a ring because Sauron sees too much of his past self in him. They literally have that Middle Management vibe trying to punch up above their weight class 😂

#TheRingsOfPower

A bit delayed, but I'm going to catch up on this starting today.

Day 1: Favourite Númenorean: It was a difficult choice, but it has to be Queen Míriel, as seen in The Rings of Power. It has been awesome to see her character given more depth in the show.

I got this Arondir sticker this past Spring.

It’s a stupid narrative pushed by a lot of people, including respectable publications, because they want the show to fail for whatever reason.

Seriously, hate on Jeff Bezos and Amazon all you want. But leave our show alone.

Rings of Power crew captured filming on the scenic Dorset coast Crews and actors were seen filming season three of the show at Portland Bill on Thursday.

Very cool 😎

#TheRingsOfPower filming made it into a BBC article. Spoiler warning just in case. #TropSpoilers
