#lotr ideas

Am I thinking about an Avari elf group being Slavic?? Maybe..... 👀

Totally not thinking about the gorgeous jewelry and braids and embroidery, with a home centered around snowy mountains. Their relationship with magic far more recognized, where most elves regard it as normal for their kind, this group sees it as a gift to strengthen.

....also maybe there's some worship of the Valar as lower deities to Eru due to a lack of interaction but a lot of sightings?? 👀👀👀

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

#high fantasy #tolkien #lotr #lord of the rings #to be clear i don't mind courtly intrigue high fantasy #it's fascinating and it's fun and it is absolutely still high fantasy cause JRRT doesn't have a monopoly on how high fantasy should be writ #what i object to is the idea that it is the only or the best way to write high fantasy when we have such a stunning counter example

Maybe Someone of the creatives at nee line stumbles around tumblr…

I would Love to see the Story of King Ondoher, his sons (who die), his daughter Firiel and her future husband King Arvedui on Screen.

Their lovestory.

The heartwrenching death of the Brothers on the battlefield.

The politics that ultimately decide that Arvedui dies not become King of Gondor - Aragorn Reverse.

Arvedui and Firiel being like „F*ck this shit, we do not Need Gondor, we have each other“.

Alright so u know the scene where Smaug opens an eye under the treasure and it’s all the party can see of him bc he’s sleeping under there.

This is what sand boas look like. And they burrow under the sand and are ambush predators. And they are reptiles. Like Smaug. Do you see where I am going with this

Thang. Smaug. If you even care

#the hobbit #lotr #please this is the best and funniest idea I’ve ever had #also if he actually looked like this I’d wheeze laugh #just #the potential this has #local beastie hyped up to be the worst creature of the millenium #local beastie also looks like a sock puppet. #smaug #smaug the dragon #sand boa #I love sand boas a lot btw I’m not making fun of them in a mean way #that’s a banger evolutionary adaptation it just #well it also looks like if u put googly eyes on a Tube

A quick Bilbo/Thorin drawing

#the hobbit #retelling the hobbit #bagginshield #I think about this quote a lot #in context it's bilbo cheering up frodo #but like! #the original lotr films ran with the interpretation that Bilbo's adventure wasn't as cheerful as he pretended it was #and that he gave Frodo an idealized 'happy' version of the story that wasn't necessarily the truth #and thats there in the book as well and it's..good! #its so interesting #the idea that Bilbo decides he'll rewrite his life to be happier and to fit a satisfying narrative

Okay but I do get really tired when people rag on Narnia's Biblical parallels for being too overt. Like, yeah dude. It's written for kids. Most kids don't do subtlety. I knew my Bible better than probably 95% of third graders, and yet my parents still had to clue me in. I've talked to people who grew up secular and didn't realize Narnia was Christian until well into adulthood. The Christian parallels in Narnia are at a pretty perfect level for most kids, and the fact that we as adults continue to get new spiritual meaning from it as we grow is a real testament to the depth of Jack's writing.

#mostly i just get sick of narnia being compared unfavourably to lotr #they are written for two different audiences with different purposes and different ingredients and they are both good! #like yeah okay tolkien disliked allegory. (a) narnia isn't exactly allegory and (b) even if it were would that be so bad? #Jack's over here doing his own thing. i for one love how overt Narnia's Biblical parallels are #okay rant over #why did i ever think it was a good idea to talk narnia on the internet. i am way too defensive and possessive of it #pontifications and creations #narnia

Go ahead, try to convince me that Elves don't zipline. There's probably ziplines all over Rivendell, and especially Mirkwood.
