Fëanáro; King of the Noldor and Lord of the Lights
Tumblr media
‘Why, O my people, why should we longer serve these jealous gods, who cannot keep us, nor their own realm even, secure from their Enemy? And though he be now their foe, are not they and he of one kin? Vengeance calls me hence, but even were it otherwise, I would not dwell longer in the same land with the kin of my father’s slayer and the thief of my treasure. Yet I am not the only valiant in this valiant people. And have ye not all lost your king? And what else have ye not lost, cooped here in a narrow land between the jealous mountains and the harvestless Sea? Here once was light, that the Valar begrudged to Middle-earth, but now dark levels all. Shall we mourn here deedless for ever, a shadow-folk, mist-haunting, dropping vain tears in the salt thankless Sea? Or shall we go home? In Cuiviénen sweet ran the waters under unclouded stars, and wide lands lay about where a free folk might walk. There they lie still and await us who in our folly forsook them. Come away! Let the cowards keep this city. But by the blood of Finwë! unless I dote, if the cowards only remain, then grass will grow in the streets. Nay, rot, mildew, and toadstool.’
Morgoth´s Ring by J.R.R Tolkien - Of the Speech of Fëanor upon Túna
This took way too long - want a burning version too? or the end of his speech??↓
Tumblr media
‘Fair shall the end be, though long and hard shall be the road! Say farewell to bondage! But say farewell also to ease! Say farewell to the weak! Say farewell to your treasures — more still shall we make! Journey light. But bring with you your swords! For we will go further than Tauros, endure longer than Tulkas: we will never turn back from pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth! War shall he have and hatred undying. But when we have conquered and have regained the Silmarils that he stole, then behold! We, we alone, shall be the lords of the unsullied Light, and masters of the bliss and the beauty of Arda! No other race shall oust us!’

I see Sauron being illustrated with red hair a lot, and I am just curious what the distribution of hair color headcanons is in the fandom.

Daily my thoughts stray to the fact that Beren the Renowned defiantly held the light of a Silmaril aloft to protect the love of his life from an enormous foul monster of darkness creeping toward them in a previously untouchable land of evil…and then thousands of years later, Frodo Baggins defiantly held the light of that same Silmaril aloft to protect the love of his life from an enormous foul monster of darkness creeping toward them in a previously untouchable land of evil.

Before the Fellowship departs Rivendell, Sam is gloomily talking to Bill the Pony.
" 'Bill, my lad,' he said, 'you oughtn't to have took up with us. You could have stayed here and et the best hay till the new grass comes.' Bill swished his tail and said nothing."
😂😂
Tolkien's subtle humor tho.

Sometimes it shocks me how many people DON’T know about Lord of The Rings. No way you don’t know about that masterpiece.
It’s incredible and yet you’re telling me you’ve never read the books, and not even seen the movies?!!
It really astounds me. Most people in my class have never even seen the movies. How have you lived your life without ever seeing them? Trust me, you’re missing out.
I grew up on LoTR and I don’t know how you made it all these years without knowing about it. I pray that one day you will be able to experience Lord of The Rings no matter how late in life you do.

POV:
You get more force than needed when negotiating with the Vala who killed your grandfather, but he also got more force than needed, which ended up in you being hung from a cliff by your right hand for 34 years.

imagine: you are chilling in front you your house getting high. along comes an old family friend who you last saw when you were six, you are now in your 50s. after a brief convo where he is kind of a dick to you, he’s like damn you’ve changed :/. and your like yeah bestie it’s been five decades why the fuck are you here. he leaves. later that night a shit ton of people show up and trash your house. just throw and absolute rager. halfway through the family friend from earlier shows up. he announces in full earshot of everyone that he wants you to come with him to rob a bank. you of course say wtf??? one of the people who broke into your house calls you a pussy. another person shoves you a contract which declares if you get shot robbing the bank they will not pay for your funeral. you pass out. when you wake up you find the contract on your table and your house almost completely back to normal. you stare at the contract for a moment and decide, fuck it this is just as a good a midlife crisis than anything.
this is what happened to bilbo baggins

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

The terrible Gollum game is only the beginning, folks. The Hobbit enters the US public domain in just a little less than ten years, so the current rights-holders are going to be trying to squeeze every last bit of profit they can out of the little fucker before he becomes free to use. You have no idea what's coming.

I love this painting, the way Eru Ilúvatar is staring down at Melkor like DUDE WHAT THE FUCK.

People are wrong when they claim that by the end, Éowyn is just “a reward for Faramir.” In truth, it’s the reverse. Éowyn is the one with the greater internal journey - as reflecting on her experience teaches her the value of peace, healing, and growth over war, violence, and death - and Faramir is ultimately her reward for learning to embrace life again. And let’s face it, being a reward, and a wife guy, is exactly what Faramir has always wanted to be, whether he knew it or not.
