  10. Daily Sketch Challenge 25/08/23: Gandalf

    Not really much of a theme this week, but then there didn't really have to be, I suppose. Sort of a quick tour of nerdy culture: R.E. Howard, Tolkien, Marvel, DC, Star Wars.

  12. CW: Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (S01E01-02), speculation

    Just finished watching the first two episodes of #LordOfTheRings: #TheRingsOfPower.
    Quite enjoyable so far, though it feels like they are taking quite some liberties with the source material? Then again, I can't say I've read much of it myself.

    Most of the discussion I've so far seen seems to suggest that #TheStranger is #Radagast (because of his interactions with the fireflies) or, more likely, #Gandalf (because of his association with fire), but perhaps it's one of the #BlueWizards, #Alatar or #Pallando, the #Istari we know so little about? Then again, I guess they would've arrived together.
