The Hall of Fire

My objection to the "uncorrupted" Númenórean view of death is not the idea that it's permissible to end one's life at a time of one's own choosing,[1] but rather the idea that it is wrong not to do this. This attitude is evident in the editorializing by the in-universe authors of the legen...

I'm gonna regret touching this one again, but... In order to grasp the distinction between Aragorn’s acceptance of death and the suicides that arise elsewhere in Tolkien’s work, we must remember that in writing about the good Númenórean kings Tolkien is writing about part-elven people granted a spec...

Thanks, Rose! I tend to be wary of leaderboards because I know I have a strong competitive streak, but I don't really like having one, so I try to keep it leashed most of the time. But Squaredle didn't require creating an account to see where you rank on the leaderboard, so I gave in to temptation. ...

At a certain point in the puzzles, I'm not sure if it's a percentage or how it works, various hints are added, like how many words remain which start with a certain letter. Eventually, after you've gained enough points and if you check the box, it will give you the first letter of each word & t...

Thanks, Rose! I honestly wasn't sure if the word you mention was a real word, either, but it did come to mind rather than being a total shot in the dark based on trying to combine the remaining letters, so I assume I've heard it before, even if I couldn't remember the meaning.

Doing my (formerly) usual word games for the first time in ages and I'm very out of practice. I turned off hard mode and it still took me way too long to guess the last word in today's Wordle. :P Waffle also took a while, though strangely, Hurdle—with which I have the worst success rate (granted, 64...

"The Artist Formerly Known As Sméagol" made me giggle.

Yeah, I don't really see Ciarán Hinds playing an Elf, though I'm perhaps overly influenced by knowing him mostly through his roles in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Maybe Galadriel will revisit the Far North and meet the Forodwaith and their Mance Rayder-type leader or something.

Dunno if this is the best thread for LOTR memes but I think we've had them here before. A friend shared this one on Discord and it made me giggle.

Some on the internet have speculated that the existence of the monument, as well as the other allusions to the character, could mean that a Fëanor flashback is on the way for the second season. This seems like a bit of a stretch without any evidence other than the presence of a statue. ROP S1 had a...

I am here for the Legolas gun-fu action flick spinoff.

Thanks, everyone. :love: I tend to be a night owl & sleep best toward/into morning. So.. the 'MorninStar' in my screenname refers not to one who rises early, but one who stays up to see the morning stars. Heh. Yeah, I'm somewhat similar. I have, on multiple occasions when the overall structure o...

I hope you consistently get power back soon, V! Eldy's been MIA, I hope she's OK. Thanks, Rose. :) I've been pretty alright; my sleep for the first half of the week was bad even by my standards, despite me sincerely trying to sleep, but I was able to catch up last night. Just haven't really been in ...
