The more time I spend explaining Tolkien lore to my brother the more I realize that Tolkien was just batshit insane
#yes the world is flat and a globe at the same time#and yes if you go off the edge you fall into the void with Satan 1.0 (assuming the Straight Road doesn't just railroad you)#he calls Valinor “The place under some trees where everyone smokes weed” and honestly I wish they would do that instead#bilbo and frodo bring weed to valinor quick#i tried to explain the miriel-finwe situation and he's so confused#“so they died and they were all sad even though they didn't have to stay dead?? but she couldn't come back because he remarried??”#“but then he dies and says 'yo ill stay dead instead' and she's find now??”#does the big God just keep making elf and human souls or do they just. appear#i told him about Gil-Galad Son of Plothole#he is quickly realizing that yes#the valar are a bit incompetent#its fine#elrond's dad is a star his mom is a bird and his great great grandma is an angel#my sister gave up two seconds in despite sparking this by asking me about elf lore#apparently she actually just wants to know about legolas but not legolas' father because of the hobbit movies#let me rant about feanorian politics it'll be interesting i promise#shut up about your elf backflips you wanna hear about nirnaeth arnoediad and the kinslayings#tolkien#lotr#lord of the rings#silmarillion#the silm#is this a shitpost? idk#he's batshit insane but the world is great i love it#we still don't know where hobbits come from#they appeared one day#like potatoes#i had one tidbit of legolas lore and that was#the guy showed up several years late in a homemade boat with a dwarf#incomprehensible screaming

for day two of @khazadweek - second age
i did not care about rop. i was not planning on watching rop. but then i saw that there were dwarves and i had no other choice.
to me disa and durin are the main characters. everything with galadriel and sauron and shit is just b-plot.
#They are DWARVES and they are IN LOVE and they are BEST FRIENDS#no. 1 most important thing for a ship for me is do i think that they genuinlly enjoy just hanging out. and these two def enjoy#each others company so much#disa rings of power#durin iv#truths drawings#rings of power#am i allowed to tag this tolkien?#oh! about the background! this goes back to my dwarf religion lore!#so they of course venerate aule as their creator.. and while I don't think that care that much about many of the other valar#i think yavanna does hold a place in their.. religion ig#EXEPT for them yavanna is their creators wife - and so while she didn't/doesn't hold this role in dwarven religion she is also#the godess of romantic love#and so instead of a heart being the symbol of love it's very much growing things.#flowers mushrooms even leaves are all symbols that hold in dwarven culture the meaning of a loveheart <3 in ours#the elves are not thrilled about this. they are like “my grandma knew yavanna. she's a real person. you can't just make shit up about her”#and the dwarves are like “wrong acutally she is my step-mom” and go back to carving a mushroom for their lover#ALSO disa's face boots.. fashion icon.#no one is doing it like her

Miraland’s elves seem like they were influenced by Tolkien’s elves. Tolkien’s elves were inspired by Icelandic folklore. Therefore, to get him in touch with his roots, we should shove Chloris into a winter coat and send him to North so that he can experience life the way he was meant to
#ok but imagine if north was a geothermal hotspot on top of everything else#they could use more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that would certainly help#anyway sorry the picture of all the pigeon nobles got me thinking ‘shove them in some winter coats and they could fit right in in Minnesota’#cause there’s a bunch of Scandinavian heritage there. tall pale blondes everywhere.#and then I remebered what I learned about Elf lore when I visited Iceland and was like oh shit#Chloris and co are descended from the Icelandic tradition that Tolkien popularized

I can't believe I still have to see posts about how much better ROP would be if Celebrían was the lead vs. Galadriel. As someone who has Tolkien Brainrot, I understand the appeal, I really, really do. As someone who has had to interact with so many people who either do not care about Tolkien Lore but are interested in fantasy television shows or are Jackson film fans first/foremost/only, y'all. Galadriel is a known character and a decent intro to lesser known characters.
Hate to break it to y'all but Celebrían is OBSCURE. I'm pretty confident in saying that if you get outside of Tolkien Fandom online circles, you could tell people that Elrond was married to Galadriel's daughter and the response you would get would be, "oh, I didn't realize that" because it's touched so lightly in the films. Celebrían isn't even MENTIONED by name. Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure if anyone mentions that Galadriel and Arwen are related at all!
My point is the show is meant to appeal to more people than us over here with Tolkien Brainrot!!!!!! I love Celebrían, but Galadriel was an easier sell to the potential of a wider audience as a lead. For a show that needs to go through so much lore very quickly, having Galadriel as the lead because she's 1) female [the overwhelming amount of male characters vs. female characters in the Legendarium is another post], 2) relatively familiar, and 3) has a set characterization to lead toward for an arc vs. her barely-even-mentioned-in-LotR daughter is a no-brainer.
#rings of power discourse for ts#i don't actually want to get into a fight about any of this. i just feel like i've been having this same conversation with people offline#for a year. like.#i don't want to make this all about running games but as someone who does run tolkien ttrpgs i have to explain A LOT of lore! regularly!#people can be fans of the films and simply not know information that could be called basic in fandom circles#do i agree with everything ROP did? no#but hot take: most of the changes they made were understandable to me if i thought through them for five minutes#point is: galadriel (known) celebrian (unknown). who the fuck were the writers going to pick as a lead? KNOWN. feels obvious to me!#tl;dr ROP is meant for a wider audience than Tolkien Brainrot Fandom sorry to say#and that goes for everyone who is saying the show should have kept the original timeline too#i saw one take early on that was like 'we should have had the focus be on the elves with a (basically disposable) cast of mortals#quickly dying off to show how much time is passing#sorry that is an unrealistic take! i can't imagine that any show is going to want to pay that many actors#i was surprised by the time jumps in HOTD!!!!#these tags could be their own post. this is out of hand.#to be deleted

#girl help people on the lotro forums are being stupid again#tolkiens catholocism is not an excuse to insist that all orcs are irredeemably evil#in fact its evidence to the contrary#because a really big important part of all different kinds of christianity is that no matter what there is always a chance for redemption#there is always a way BACK#(assuming were going with the story that orcs are corrupted elves which is most peoples go to if not strictly canon)#and like i dont want the whole game to be about it but once saurons out of the picture?#yeah i kind of like the idea that some orcs can find their way back#maybe it wouldnt happen this fast but everything in lotro happens fast. get over it#and dear lord i cant believe *i* have to be the one to say this#i dont post about it a lot but im like. extremely conservatively christian#why is it falling to ME to make this argument#FOR THE RECORD i have been on the forums for several hours and had a couple of very civil and good interactions there#but i think i am done for now i have a headache#for the record this wasnt the only stupid person#someone also said that half orcs were breaking tolkiens lore#????????????????????? thats literally in the book

watched the first episode of the show with the parents, and got talking about the Deep Tolkien Lore™ with mum afterwards. was telling her about my favourite faction in the silmarillion, galadriel’s evil mafia cousins, and mentioned that i didn’t think they were likely to show up on account of them all being dead by this point, ‘except for that one guy on the beach,’ to which my mum replied ‘what, sipping piña coladas and taking it easy?’ and on further thought we don’t really know that’s not what he’s doing, do we
#amazopocalypse#rings of power#maglor#as for the show itself?#... eh it's fine#seen worse. doesn't seem to want to do anything too interesting with the material but i've seen worse#every time they dangled a nugget of the deeper lore in front of me like a member berry i just got more annoyed than anything else#almost none of the first age elf drama is being represented at all#which >:(#way to show the casual audience that tolkien's elves are just as boring as the popular narrative would have it#also please stop actively leaning into valinor-as-an-aryan-wonderland/uncritical-acceptance-of-the-old-man's-colonialist-tendencies#having a few black elves here and there doesn't really help with the undertones#also if you can't use the real names of 'galadriel's brother' and 'the high king' just make some new ones up ffs#he didn't get eaten by werewolves i already don't think it's finrod#... did like the stone age protohobbits though#not sure why they're calling em harfoots but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

11 & 25 for tolkien ❤️
🔥 choose violence ask game 🔥
Tolkien
11 - number of fandom-related words you've filtered
7, one of them being "not Tolkien" LOL. Xkit blacklist my beloved.
25 - common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
If I never have to hear another Legolas hair discourse again in my life, it will be too early.

gotta say i have been seeing some extremely cold takes in my chosen fandom of late and i am both Not About It but also Very Tired
#just to be clear#if you think that there is a division between 'worthy' and 'unworthy' fans#you are a problem#what is this early anime fandom all over again#'oh you've only seen the dub?'#'sorry but you're only a True Fan (tm) if you've watched the subtitled version and read all 120 volumes of the manga'#actually you know what fandom i respect the most?#lotr fandom#easily the nicest friendliest fandom hands down#never cared if people had read the silmarillion or not and not just because that would be cruel and unusual punishment#i adored the movies but could not for the life of me read the books#fucking hated tolkien's style of writing#maybe i'd like it now who knows#but you know what that was never an issue#'oh you came from the movies? that's so cool here's three different recipes for lembas and the translation of your name in sindarin'#actually is gatekeeping on the rise along with all the recent weird puritanical shit i've been seeing across multiple fandoms?#that would make a lot of sense actually#and look#i usually go fucking FERAL for research and background lore#but there are limits to my time my energy my access and my interest#i have never been so interested-alienated in regards to a fandom before#like 'damn i would love to get into this but there is So Much Fucking Stuff i feel i should know first'#so i've been ending up just being an observer#which is great on one hand! observers and readers and viewers are incredible love them peeps they're absolutely vital to fandom#but that's not how *I* usually interface with fandom#i like creating things#and that's been stopped up by my own personal desire to Know All The Things First before writing#(which i would never actually require for other people that's just a How My Brain Works thing)#and the fandom's own self-policing of what level of knowledge is valid and what isn't#tumblr fuck u for not letting me use more tags ANYWAY yeah sad for me or w/e but don't do this shit to new fans they deserve better

TOLKIEN TLDR: Ainulindalë – The Music of the Ainur
Ever wondered how Middle-earth came to be? Here, have a silly, highly simplified summary of the creation of Eä according to Ainulindalë.
The story starts with Eru Ilúvatar; an all-knowing, all-powerful, capital-G kind of God, and the Ainur; the offspring of his thought. He teaches the Ainur (who are totally not angels) the art of music, and then he makes them sing for him. For a while, everything sounds great. Perfect harmony, perfect synch, everyone knows their part.
Well. Almost everyone.
One of the Ainur, Melkor (who is totally not Lucifer), decides that his role in the story is a bit too passive for his taste. He starts interweaving his own ideas into Ilúvatar’s perfect theme, and, well, I think anyone who’s ever been in a choir knows exactly how much discord a single diva can cause. Some Ainur join him, some ignore him, and some stop singing altogether. Eventually, Ilúvatar puts his foot down, stops the cacophony, and firmly explains to his choir that no, free will is not a thing in this household.
After his speech, Ilúvatar shows the Ainur a vision. They see a world, alive and growing, and they’re told that it was created by their music—including the discord that Melkor caused. In the end, it was all a part of Ilúvatar’s grand design. Classic capital-G God move.
The history of the world plays out before them, and they see the coming of the Children of Ilúvatar: first the Elves, and then the Men. The Ainur don’t get the full story, though. The vision ends without any major spoilers of the later ages. It’s more like a trailer, really, showing off the potential of this new world.
It’s a good pitch, and the Ainur are hooked. They want to see the rest. When Ilúvatar asks if any of them would like to descend into the new world, there are several volunteers. One of them is, of course, Melkor, who considers this an excellent opportunity to finally create something of his own. He wants a domain to rule. He wants subjects and servants. He wants this world for himself, and he wants the Children of Ilúvatar to call him “Lord”. (He’s not Morgoth, “The Black Foe of the World” yet, but he’s definitely working on it.)
Okay, so, terminology time. The world that has just been created is called Eä, and within it, we have Arda, which is basically Earth but flat. In Arda we have Middle-earth, which is the continent where The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and most of The Silmarillion take place. Alright? Alright. Moving on.
Many of the Ainur decide to stay with their God, but some do descend into the new world. They become the Valar; gods-without-the-capital-G, and the Maiar; supporting spirits of the Valar. It’s not until after they’ve made their descent that they find out that there’s a catch—a small detail that Ilúvatar failed to mention.
The world isn’t finished yet.
What they saw was in the vision was just a foreshowing, and now it’s their job to make it come true. They’re going to have to turn a world that’s still dark and shapeless into a place where the Children of Ilúvatar can one day thrive. A bit of a dick move, if you ask me, but most of the former Ainur are fine with this setup. Melkor, however, immediately tries to claim Arda as his own kingdom and then proceeds to make life difficult for anyone who disagrees, which would be pretty much everyone. He does convince some of the Maiar to join him though, including the Balrogs and a being that will later be known as Sauron.
And so the terraforming of Eä begins. The strife between the Valar and Melkor turns into a seemingly endless cycle of creation and destruction, but eventually, they somehow manage to create a world that’s habitable for Elves and Men. It’s not a replica Ilúvatar’s vision, but it’s good enough. The history of Middle-earth can now begin.
A/N: The Silmarillion is an extraordinary piece of literature and I highly recommend reading it. It’s not a “the gist of things” kind of book though, and I’m very much a “the gist of things” kind of gal. I like simplifying and summarizing things, so that’s what I did. No disrespect intended toward the source material.
#the silmarillion#lord of the rings#rings of power#the rings of power#lotr#trop#tolkien#i know i probably just pissed off a lot of scholars and you all have my sincerest apologies#just wanted to introduce some lore to people who aren't familiar with the silmarillion#lore#tolkien tldr

We saw a take that was “if people become fans of an adaptation, then they aren’t REAL fans of the creator’s work” and “they probably won’t like the source material”...
That’s kinda crap, lol.
1. It’s like saying if someone like a cover of a song, they’re not going to like the original song, or the artist’s other works.
2. So what if they don’t? Sometimes the original isn’t all that great. Sometimes the original works are racist, or otherwise bigoted. Sometimes the creator was an asshole. Sometimes the original just wasn’t all that good.
3. People are perfectly capable of liking the original for what it was, and liking the adaptation for what it is, as two separate and unique things.
People are allowed to like adaptations-- just as much, or even more than the originals. People are allowed to be fans of an adaptation, and not the original. It doesn’t mean they’re not real fans. Someone enjoying an adaptation doesn’t mean anything besides someone likes the adaptation. People are allowed to like both. People are allowed to not even get into the original series. Let people like things! Even if you think the adaptation is shittier!
No, we don’t need to gatekeep fandoms from adaptations. The only gatekeeping we need to do, in fandoms, is against racists, queerphobes, alt right shitfucks, and others such people.
#fandom#tlcposting#this rant brought to you by TROP#we like the books#we liked the liveaction movies#we like TROP#they're all different and unique and have good and bad aspects#also yeah we're saurondriel shippers so fucking sue us LOL#hatefucking isn't a crime or a threat to your fandom if you don't like it don't read it#I don't care if Tolkien is rolling in his grave at the thought#ETL headcanons aren't either#nor are complex original plots that may or may not have been hinted at in the original but we'll never know because the dude is dead#and he couldn't ever even figure out half of his own lore#anyways let people enjoy things#series or character or pairing whatever life is short leave people alone

okay but what if *shakes magic 8 ball* sigyn's sons were there for the kinslaying at alqualondë but *shakes it again* they were part of the group that misunderstood the situation and one of them died but the other survived to make it to middle-earth and *shakes the magic 8 ball one last time* after following him there, sigyn refuses to leave until he decides he's earned his forgiveness from the valar and can travel into the west with her.
#me rolling the dice on tolkien's lore: i think this makes sense#like in this case technically the forgiveness was given already!#but i think vali just has not forgiven himself for his part in it#particularly the loss of his brother still stings him after all those yrs#re; sigyn. ( the epitome of all things healing and good )#hc; sigyn.#v; sigyn lotr. ( regret undying & never wholly assuaged )
