It's a somewhat-famous-in-some-circles piece of marginalia from medieval manuscripts. There is a lot of that kind of art in them, and there are differing opinions on why and what it might 'really' represent.

I want to do the one with the cat running away from the nun with the thing in its mouth.

The blankets have very fine fibers added to the wool from the thin cambium layer between the bark and the wood of the tree. It's flexible and has a high tensile strength, and can be split down to threadlike pieces and added into wool as you spin it. Is it added to keep bugs out of the wool?? I was ...

Joseph Mawle comments: https://twitter.com/realjosephmawle/status/1598380117872545818 I loved my time exploring middle earth and diving into Tolkien’s mythology. I’m so honoured that the character was liked. He cared deeply about telling you his story. Though as an actor it remains my wish, my job ...

Thought I'd share this - I might go poking around just to see it

I've seen enough clips to almost want to watch a few characters' scenes, but I don't have a Prime account and have no real interest in watching the actual show. But that is probably more because I have so little interest in "TV" in general than for any specific reason associated with the s...

Sorry, took me a while to hunt down the info:

and here is the art itself

Oh, Khorazir is a Tolkien artist (obv) but pretty sure they were on TORC back in the day. I follow their tumblr and they were doing a bunch of art for a new book coming out for the second age, I thought this might have been it.

I think this is the book that Khorazir did a bunch of art for

*Sob* yes, it's going to be a long two years. But we can always watch it again while Amazon lets us, and I'm sure they'll toss us a few crumbs now and then! Thanks, that sorts that out. Now all we have to do is work out who they're talking to...... :scratch: PS - don't spoil my fun - I had to work ...

I'm leaning towards Gandalf for Meteor Man. After all its made pretty clear in the LotR that he was the only one of the Istari who was friendly with Hobbits. Also, as I said previously, he exhibits similar traits to Sauron, who was also a Fire Maia. That's true but I think given the location of whe...

One aspect of Tolkien's writing I've truly come to appreciate later is that it is never stated to be some kind of true accounting of events or history - it's a translation of a translation of a copy of a translation of a copy of a translation of a history written within the context of the story itse...

Wading back in with another observation made (not by me) Of The Rings of Power and the Third Age, there is a sentence about the War of the Last Alliance: All living things were divided in that day, and some of every kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save the Elves only. They...

Spoken to Aulë specifically?

Spoken by Eru?

I just don't understand why America (the homogenous people as opposed to individuals) feel that we in Europe have the same shared history of racism that americans do. We just don't. The concept of Whiteness was invented in Europe. The colonization of countries filled with non-white people was perpe...
