  1. J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary response to Nazis who demanded to know if he was Jewish

    In 1933, Adolf Hitler handed the power of Jewish cultural life in Nazi Germany to his chief propagandist,…

  2. "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!"

  4. 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.

  6. 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. 😬

  7. 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 […]

  8. 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

    Second hand #ThinkPad user running #FreeBSD with #XFCE. Web browsing in #Librewolf and #links2. #Tabs over #Spaces and I use nano.

  9. 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, […]

  13. Just ran a short scenario of #TheOneRingRPG for my son, namely The Conspiracy Most Cracked from the Starter Set. He played Paladin Took, sent on an adventure by Bilbo Baggins to retrieve a map from the Mathom House in Michel Delving.

  15. Saw The Hobbit trilogy last week after a long time, and you know what? I like em' as much as i like The Lord of The Rings trilogy.

    PS: Bilbo looks really badass with that blue cloak at the end of Five Armies.
