"They will be slain, and all our ponies too, and all out stores lost," moaned the others. "We can do nothing." "Nonsense!" said Thorin, recovering his dignity. "We cannot leave them. Get inside Mr Baggins and Balin, and you two Fili and Kili-the dragon shan't have all of us. Now you others, where are the ropes? Be quick!"

A very good thing too! Dreadful things had been going on down there. The wolves that had caught fire and fled into the forest had set it alight in several places. It was high summer, and on this eastern side of the mountains there had been little rain for some time. Yellowing bracken, fallen branches, deep-piled pine-needles, and here and there dead trees, were soon in flames.

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, […]

I haven't had much time to research answers to the questions that readers submit to the Middle-earth Blog this year. So to help me lighten the load, I've started a new series called Middle-earth Trivia (it requires less research). This is this first post in the series: "Little Known Details About Tolkien Elves"

Anyone else on here doing Fantasy Hike? I'd like to walk more than I do, so what better way to do that than to walk to Mordor?
As Randall says, "Movies about walking!"
So let's walk.

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

Just finished listening to the BBC 1968 radio play adaptation of #TheHobbit.The #OneRing sure does a great job of not attracting immediate concern by #Gandalf or #Elrond or any Elves skilled in magic as Bilbo carries it in close proximity to them.
No feeling a #DisturbanceInTheForce here Luke.
I liked this adaptation. #JimMoriarty didn't overdo the character he played. (Gandalf)
Younger listeners can hopefully adapt to the absences of car-chases and dwarf/elf romance.

My no. 1 #proudmoment as a #fan of #jrrtolkien is the result of having shared my #fandom with another. There's nothing like getting #friends, #family, or #students into what you're #passionate about.

Finished #LostTales vol. 1 right before the new year.
My 2022 #Tolkien #ReRead included #TheSilmarillion, #LordoftheRings, #TheHobbit, #UnfinishedTales, & #LostTales 1.
Pausing now to read #Jemisin's #TheCityWeBecame.

Continuing my #Tolkien #ReRead with #LostTales vol. 1.
The Gnomes have crossed the ice, & the sun & moon ships are finally sailing the heavens.
Eriol's inexplicable desire for mythic exposition continues unabated.

#Grades are posted! Let the vacation work commence!
With any luck, we'll finally get to finish the next #podcast episode in our #EyeofSauron series. It's on #ChristianNationalism in the wake of #PeterJackson's #LordoftheRings films.
And hopefully I'll finally get to writing that book chapter on #Tolkien & the far right that I've had to put off for the last...
What year is it?

An offset to the end-of-term, #grading blues was finishing my #HobbitReRead over the weekend. Delightful as always.
The true unsung hero, of course, was the thrush.
Now I'm finishing my #UnfinishedTales #ReRead. I'd totally forgotten that the Blue Wizards, who were lost in Rhûn, had names in Valinor.
If only we had their stories.
