  1. 🎬 Oh joy, a glorified Google Maps for film nerds who want to pretend they're walking through Middle Earth's Mordor while actually just standing in a field in New Zealand 🌍. Because nothing says "I have too much free time" like tracing the exact coordinates of a castle that appeared for 3 seconds in a movie from the '80s. 😂

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  8. Fast And Furious Food

    For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A seven-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Lily through a bizarre dream. The first six panels are arranged in two columns, with a final double-wide panel stretching across the bottom. Most of the dream takes place at the drive-thru window of a stone building with a wooden sign above it reading "Food to go." Lily leans out of the serving window as increasingly unusual customers arrive. The dream becomes stranger with each order […]

  9. Sharing for my fellow #Tolkien folks!

    “To many in the Tolkien fandom, #audiobooks are a vital way to explore #JRRTolkien’s and Christopher Tolkien's work. To date… Christopher Tolkien's ‘The History of Middle-earth’ as a complete set with consistent and separate narration for Christopher and J.R.R's voices remains undone.

    “Let's show HarperCollins that we have the interest and support to make these audiobooks happen. Share with your friends and communities!” #petition #MiddleEarth #fantasy
