Sitting in Saaremaa (EE) at a BBQ catching the view on an elvish tattoo… it is a line of a William Ernest Henley poem called Invictus. “I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.”

On the doors it does not say: speak friend and enter. This revelation might come as a shock to some. 😜
The changes that Tolkien made between his first ms and the final drawing are not whimsical. All have a logical explanation, like Mória (mutated Vória) => Moria.
There were three intermediate manuscripts of the Doors. I present only the first. -
Today I created something for my own home. I have had this little key cupboard for years but today I decided to burn it. #art #LordOfTheRings #lotr #pyrography #handmade #craft #artist #burn #fantasy #woodworking #pyro #elvish #door

This is a great piece on "conlangs" - constructed languages today mainly used to make TV shows and movies feel more realistic. I've always found the idea of constructing an entire language to be very intriguing - the amount of work and thought that goes into such a project is daunting. Conlangs can flesh out fictional worlds just as much as CGI landscapes.

Have you ever noticed that modern drug names seem to draw off JRR Tolkien languages? The antivirals in Paxlovid are nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, which sound fully Elvish to me. Meanwhile, antibody-based medications all end in -ab, eg bamlinivab, casirimivab, imdevimab, etesimivab, etc. Tell me those don't sound dwarvish.
