Morgoth and his first dragons
My fiancé got me to watch the Lord of the Rings movies, and as a result I have been obsessed with the lore. Then I saw that video of squeaking baby crocodiles in a bath tub and went "I wonder if baby dragons sound like that?"

Elrond: I can't legally say I resurrected him, but his body is moving and his soul is controlling it so I don't see a problem.
Annatar: No one else sees a problem with this?
The elves: No. *Awkward shrug*

Difficult to fell asleep, because there's a question bothering me:
Why did the Valar choose their spouse only from Valar? There were also a lot of Maiar.🤔Were they actually arranged marriages? Or were the Vala-Maia romantic actually strictly forbidden? And of course, considering there are so many Maiar and only 15 Valar, the possibility for the Maiar of being picked by a Valar is pretty slim.
Think of it this way, isn't Melkor and Marion's love kind of romantic? Think about it, Melkor, the most powerful being in existence, who arises in mighty, choose "the one", Mairon, over million of Maiar. And Marion, as a little Maia, fell in love with that big, dark, scary Vala? I would discribe it as a brave.
Don't take the silly thing above so seriously, it's just a headconon!😂

Rereading the Lord of the Rings series recently, and it's so fascinating to me how much the series is a denial of the typical juvenile power-fantasy that is associated with the fantasy genre.
Like, the power-fantasy is the temptation the Ring uses against people It tempts Boromir with becoming the "one true king" that could save his people with fantastic power. It tempts Sam with being the savior of Middle Earth and turning the ruin that is Mordor into a great garden. It tempts Gandalf and Galadriel with being the messianic figure of legend who brings salvation to Middle Earth and great glory to herself.
The things the Ring tempts people with are becoming the typical protagonists of fantasy stories that we expect to see. and over and over we see that accepting that role, that fantasy of being the benevolent all-powerful hero, is a bad thing. LotR is about how power, even power wielded with benevolent intent, is corrupting.
And its so fascinating how so much of modern fantasy buys into the very fantasy LotR denies. Most modern fantasy is about being that Heroic power-fantasy. About good amassing power to rival evil. But LotR dares not to. It dares to be honest that there is no world where anyone amasses that power and remains good.
I guess that's one of the reasons its so compelling.

Guys it's kind of classless to be celebrating the fall of the Eye of Sauron like this :/ he's the only ruler most of Mordor has EVER known and was a cultural institution there for years :/ you can't blame him for all of the actions of Morgoth :/

The fact that Sauron finds out what the real plan was when he senses Frodo wearing the Ring in Mordor ultimately adds to the satisfaction of his downfall. If Frodo hadn’t done that, Sauron wouldn’t have known why his land was suddenly collapsing and why his own form was withering away. But because of what happens, when the Ring is finally destroyed, Sauron knows exactly why and how. And his last thoughts are about how he was fooled, tricked, deceived, and totally outwitted by people with 1000x less power than him. That was actually the best punishment that Frodo could’ve given him: the blow to his ego that he deserved.

Galadriel knows already
Galadriel, to Gil Galad: I can't imagine what Sauron is planning. But I can tell you two things. We won't like it and it won't be legal.
