hi i’m tolkien here are my ocs. i call them Elves (not elfs!!! if you call them elfs i will block you) they look like humans but they’re tall, live forever, and have pointy ears. that’s it bye

Anyway, here’s a picture of Royd Tolkien, great grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien, alongside a real-life wizard, Sir Ian Gandalf McKellen.

Every time I read that post about doing things out of spite I remember that C. S. Lewis put that fucking street lamp in Narnia because Tolkien once said that no good fantasy story would have a lamp in it.

Gender

[ID: tweet by Labour Accelerationists reading, “Watching LOTR on a dodgy website and they’ve replaced Gondor with Gender in the subtitles lol”. Attached are four screenshots from the movie featuring their classic lines subtitled as, “The rule of Gender is mine and no others’,” “None but the king of Gender may command me,” “Gender calls for aid,” and “This will be the end of Gender as we know it”.]

Level of spite: C. S. Lewis putting a lamp post in Narnia (and making it a minor plot point in at least two of his books) just because Tolkien insisted no true fantasy series would have a lamp in it.

so the only two white actors in black panther are martin freeman, who played bilbo baggins, and andy serkis, who played gollum.

so I guess that means…they’re the Tolkien white guys.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the reddit side of the Tolkien fandom, in particular, this discussion regarding how Sauron fits the ring on his finger, as well as penal compensation a la Lord Farqaud style
