"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also liked runes and letters and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

CW: The Hobbit PJ movies fan edit spoilers

1/2
Watching a fan edited version of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit .... retellings.

(See, I can be nice.)

"The Hobbit- Ultimate Book Edit | Full Movie"

I've read the book so it's pretty easy to follow.
Unlike PJ's releases this Edit only rarely crosses the bounds into "what utter tripe" so I'm more generous to the Edit when it does. (As if Beorn would let strangers remain in his house unvetted and alive. 😬

Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?

ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

CW: Introduction post with lots of hashtags

New server, new #Introduction, I guess

I'm an #ActuallyAutistic #Queer person in #Edinburgh, #Scotland. I usually post about my interests or random thoughts in my head. I also often complain about technology around me. I also like to read about sustainability. Trying to keep my #HousePlants alive.

What you should know is I'm lactose intolerant. So please keep dairy away from my feed, haha.

I like watching #SciFi ( #StarTrek, #StarGate, #DoctorWho, and others), but I also like #MurderMystery. If you don't want to be murdered, don't go to Cabot Cove ( #MurderSheWrote). Occasionally I watch some #musical.

I try to get better at Go ( #weiqi, #baduk)

For games I usually play on my #NintendoSwitch (casual gamer - #MarioKart, #AnimalCrossing, #MarioParty, main series of #Mario, #Splatoon, #WarioGames, and more) and #BoardGames (a casual fan - I genuinely enjoy playing #Cluedo and #Munchkin. I also enjoy #Fluxx, #GiveMeTheBrain, #Scrabble, #TheSettlersOfCatan, Pandemic (that hashtag would be confusing), #ExplodingKittens, #Dixit, and more)

#TheHobbit is still my favourite book, but I also like #MissMarple, #Poirot, and #SherlockHolmes. #TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy series is great. So is #Discworld by #TerryPratchett. Enjoyed #EarthSea series.

I like to drink #Tea, especially #GreenTea. Enjoy animated shows like #Daria, #Amphibia, #TheOwlHouse, #ScoobyDoo, #GravityFalls, #BobsBurgers, #SpyXFamily, #InvaderZim, #DuckTales, #AvatarTheLastAirbender, old #TheSimpsons, #SpongeBob, and others

Occasionally watch some #KDrama

Fan of #sriracha

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?

ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

Chapter XVI in The Nature of Middle-earth is titled “Dwellings in Middle-earth”. It begins with a linguistic discussion of various Elvish words used to describe types of dwellings. A dwelling could be as simple as a place where the Eldar slept in the wild, such as a temporary “hall”-like structure.

The concept of a “dwelling place” evolved through different uses, eventually describing […]

Jane Austen mentions second breakfast in Mansfield Park, published 123 years before The Hobbit.
"Soon after the second breakfast, Edmund bade them goodbye for a week, and mounted his horse for Peterborough, and then all were gone." (Ch. 29)

It was my birthday the other day. Main present from my husband was a Sylvester McCoy as Radagast sculpt from Weta in New Zealand. I love how full of character it is! I did not enjoy the Hobbit trilogy of movies, though loved Lord of the Rings. But his performance and character were a rare highlight. #birthday #sculpture #figurine #Tolkien #LordOfTheRings #LOTR #TheHobbit #Hobbit #Filmstodon #OorWullie #SylvesterMcCoy #WetaFx #Weta #PeterJackson #Art #Wizards #Fantasy #Films #Movies #DoctorWho

It's tempting to think that #Baroque / #DerivativeWorks are a thing of the #21stCentury.

And then within hours of tripping over the whimsical illustrations by #ToveJansson for a 1962 Swedish translation of #TheHobbit you, or more precisely, I, find a 1968 #BBC radio play adaptation of The Hobbit that, I kid you not, seems to have #SpikeMilligan's #Moriarty character from #TheGoons playing #Gandolf, and the dwarves sounding more like cherubs.

"We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can't think what anybody sees in them."
