One of the wildest things about being in the Tolkien fandom is seeing someone who didn’t read the book post some musings or a theory and then somebody who (ostensibly) did read the book reblogs it all “Well actually”, and then proceeds to outline some BS that was absolutely not in the book
Éowyn: so what exactly are your skills?
Merry, trying to flirt: not to brag but I’ve got a pretty chokeable throat

Alright, you know how elflings are described as getting through their very earliest babyhood/childhood really quickly? And I quote,
"By their first year, Elf children can speak, walk, and dance, and their quicker onset of mental maturity makes young Elves seem older than they actually are."
J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien (ed.), Morgoth's Ring, "Part Three. The Later Quenta Silmarillion: (II) The Second Phase: Laws and Customs among the Eldar"
Yeah old Tolkien was a father of four. And the Elves as a whole were basically his Perfect Catholics Wish Fulfilment™.
Tolkien, showing up sleep-deprived to lectures after walking with Kid Number 4 all night to get her to sleep: "And Elven babies slept through the night really quick."
"And then they stayed small and adorable for a long while after but first they slept through the night real fucking quick."
This is also why Tolkien wrote Elf parents as reallyyyyy spacing out their kids, like, a whole century between each kid. He's had to help handle feeding one 4-year-old, one 2-year-old, and one newborn at the same time.
Merry: I can't believe you ate it.
Pippin: It said free samples!
Merry: It was lipstick!
Frodo: Sam and I were crossing the street, and this dude drove by and honked at me--
Aragorn [sighing]: What did Sam do?
Frodo: He chased them down to the next red light, then reached into his window and...
Sam: Who wants a steering wheel?
Éomer: please don’t
Merry: it’ll impress her
Éomer: no it won’t
Merry: [wheels over to Éowyn on his chair pretending to paddle canoe]
Pippin, running into the room: it's missing!
Diamond: what's missing?!
Pippin: the little thing!
Diamond, turning to face him whilst hugging Faramir: what?
Pippin: oh, there it is.
Diamond: you meant Faramir?!
Sam: Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad?
Merry: Malcontented, disgruntled, miserable, desolate…
Pippin: Smad.
Frodo: There are two types of people.
Lindir: Ahhhh... I haven't felt this relaxed since-
Dwarves, running by completely naked: GOOD MORNING WORLD!!!
Lindir: aaaand it's over.
Aragorn: you three, explain right now!
Frodo: it was Pippin.
Sam: it was Pippin.
Merry: it was Pippin.
Pippin:
Pippin: ...fuck.
Éowyn: Our can opener is broken.
Merry: So it’s a can’t opener?
Éowyn: I can’t believe I married you.
im literally begging my piece of shit brain to be able to consume media without it completely taking over my every waking moment i literally just want to look at a character and think "haha nice" and not "You Are My Only Thought" for once,,, please,,,
Bilbo, walking in the room: Hey Frodo, whats the routine for today? Frodo: well usually I wake up and I suffer Bilbo: Bilbo: Do you, uh, want to talk about it? Frodo: nope Bilbo: oh valar, Thorin, he’s turning into you
Guess who figured out how to get screenshots off their PS4(it’s me lol)
Here’s some of Thakrak. I did manage to get one before I finished the Udun map(it’s the first one back when he was just a captain). When I picked him for Lives Taken Lives Made(I knew I wanted to write a Shadow of Mordor story using one of the generated captains and building a character from there) I made sure to not kill him which was hard since he was one of the warchiefs bodyguards and in the first map you can’t dominate orcs. When I came back after I got farther into the main story to just check in he’d become a Warchief while I was gone and of course I had to adopt him.
As you can see the tattoos I give him are different because I wanted to know what these ones say but I couldn’t find what the symbols mean anywhere. Maybe they’re in the art book? So I came up with my own. I do want to give Thakrak some more tattoos but haven’t thought of any good ones that he could easily do himself. The scar I’ve put on his head is a reoccurring one but I want a tattoo that symbolizes him(more than just the one that’s his name).
I might post a few more screenshots of places in game that are in my fic.
This is Anvil Rock, my latest battle map. It reaches dizzyingly high, where the air is thin and the sky all-encompassing – and there's a free starry night variant, too!
It's inspired by the Carrock from The Hobbit, which I've been reading lately. It's a tad taller, that's all! Perhaps it's closer to the Eagle's Eyrie, but with the addition of a staircase...
Regardless, you can download it from my new blog post: → The Anvil Rock Battle Map
A mountain peak of staggering height, reaching above the heavens and into the realm of the gods..
This battle map might invoke dizziness for two reasons: first, the unease it might give you if you’re as afraid of heights as I am! Second, the perplexing perspective. You see, Anvil Rock is a little more abstract than I usually dare draw, but I thought it was fitting for this particular map concept ...

This map has been amazingly fun to work on, and I hope you have amazing fun with it! Next week we'll have a new tavern battle map, and Garm's also got something new for you in-between then and now.
Stay tuned! 🙂
I'm currently in love with someone else but as one of my best friends in the world stands in Michaels and excitedly talks to me about RPG potion bottles there is no one in the world love more than them
