  1. #til that I am Bombadilian. I resonate most strongly with #TomBombadil, and not any of the cool aspects. When you cringed at Tom's poetry and wondered when it would end, I felt seen. Drat, not Aragorn or Legolas, but silly silly loving Tom.

    Oh well, we all have our rings to bear. Off to make up a song about my wife, who does not yet have boots of yellow

  6. How Many Castles In Middle-earth?

    For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Kael and Darvolo as they walk along a stone-paved road winding through a sunlit forest. Tall trees, wildflowers, moss-covered rocks, and patches of sunlight create a peaceful setting. Kael wears chain mail armor, a blue cloak, and carries a sword. Darvolo wears the elegant clothing of a wealthy merchant, including a feathered hat, embroidered robes, jewelry, and a decorative cloak. Their […]

  7. Hot take: I don't like the Lord of the Rings movies, and I think they are doing a disservice to the books, the fantasy genre, and roleplaying games as a hobby.

    They are ultimately not a very good adaption of the book and put mindless spectacle over the themes of loss and trauma that Tolkien clearly was working through. And their questionable art choices keep reverberating through fantasy, keeping 1980s dnd kitsch alive way past it's time.

  11. Tolkien was a racist.

    John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973) was an [english] writer and academic philologist. He was the author of the high fantasy works The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of the Rings (1954–1955).

    [These depicted dark skinned peoples on the side of evil reinforcing negative stereotypes making Tolkien racist.]

  12. Why Didn’t Sauron Create An Army Of Morgûl-Blade Slaves?

    ANSWER: I have been asked about this a few times over the years, although not very often. It’s one of those questions that kind of pops into your mind when you’re reading the story for the nth time. Or maybe you’re reading a blog like this one and someone mentions an item or something and suddenly your mind starts wandering.

  13. Birthday present finally framed and hung. Two posters of #MiddleEarth maps done in schematic London Underground “Tube Map” style.

    The schematic Tube Map style was first designed by Harry Beck and promoted until it became the London Underground standard: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_map

    These two designs, following that style, are by Don Wilde: donwildeart.com/collections/lo

    adapting Christopher Tolkien's original maps to the Tube Map style. One shows the First Age (as told in the #Silmarillion), the other shows the Third Age (as told in #LordOfTheRings). There are loads of detail to delight #Tolkien fans.

  14. "In the darkest moment on the stairs of Cirith Ungol, Sam asks: what's in the old stories that really matters? His answer is that the great stories are about people who had the chance to turn back and didn't. Sam doesn't keep going because he thinks he will win. He keeps going because turning back is worse."

  17. I’m not sure how to classify this article. I’ve added it to the Trivia category but it’s not really trivia. And the article was inspired by a question I received from a reader in June 2025:

    Hello, Michael!

    Do you know exactly how to pronounce the name ‘Éowyn’? According to the LotR’s Appendix E, éo- sounds like “eh-ah” with the “ah” just barely pronounced, while y is the modified u,nwhich […]

  18. A pencil portrait of Pippin! Say that three times fast. I used to do a lot of Lord of the Rings subjects, both from film and book sources. Some of my earliest sales at science fiction conventions back in the 1970's were of Lord of the Rings fan art. #lotr #lordoftherings #pippin #billyboyd
