The idea that GRRM is anti Tolkien is particularly funny because ASOIAF is sprinkled with rather intricate (and even passionate) homages to LOTR. And I can’t help but think of how Tolkien’s Fellowship, more specifically the Hobbits, may have inspired GRRM’s Night’s Watch. Jon Snow, for starters, is in many ways a combination of LOTR’s Frodo and Aragorn. And in the same way that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are unexpected heroes in LOTR (because who looks to a hobbit as the face of an epic adventure?), Jon the bastard becomes the leader of a ragtag of socially disenfranchised men (in the form of the NW) who are anything but heroic. Sure there’s the odd knight or noble in there, but the NW is quite full of criminals and the very worst of the social order. The hobbits aren’t the strongest or the sharpest but they become the face of the fight against Sauron. And the NW, while being severely undermanned and under-equipped, has become the main force that stands against winter. GRRM even adds a love letter to Tolkien’s Sam Gamgee by adding his on Sam - Sam Tarly - who acts as a moral compass and counselor to Jon, in the same ways that Sam Gamgee is key to Frodo’s journey. And just like Frodo, Jon gets his very own pair of jokester friends, one of whine is even named Pyp. So it’s all very beautiful and nice, and we should talk about it more because it’s super evident that GRRM is a massive Tolkien fanboy. But I do have to say tho, GRRM’s take on Gandalf is exceedingly hilarious just because Melisandre is famously very bad at her job.

#asoiaf #lord of the rings #lotr #Gandalf - old and scary and very competent at his job #Mel - very old very scary and displays varying levels of competence #jokes aside another cool parallel between Jon and Frodo is that both #choose to embark on this dangerous journey because who else will do it?#Lots of arguing about who will destroy the ring who should have it etc and Frodo is just like #I’m ready to do what needs to be done even if it takes me to Mordor #Which is very similar to Jon who watches the rest of Westeros bicker about some stupid chair #And he’s willing to sacrifice his life and win no glory to save humanity in the face of an existential threat #And don’t think I need to get too much into Jon’s similarities with Aragorn because they’re plain as day #Also the iron throne and the ring of power having cool parallels?#Anyway asoiaf is so heavily inspired by LoTR and grrm is a such a huge fanboy #It’s insane that people think he hates Tolkien or whatever #jon snow #sam tarly #pyp #grenn #the night’s watch #frodo baggins #sam gamgee #merry brandybuck #pippin took #melisandre of asshai #gandalf #valyrianscrolls

Maedhros before Vaire

#the silmarillion #maedhros #vaire #valar #I’d written a short scene as a prequel of sorts to Where There’s Smoke #where mae goes to ask vaire to find the name of a soldier who saved him during the nirnaeth #only later finding out it’s maeglin #character design #ive always seen vaire as the opposite side of the coin as ungoliant #where ungoliant devours light vaire weaves it into place #my art #tolkien art

I would fight Tolkien himself over my absolute belief that Maglor not throwing himself into the water but singing in sorrow on the shores forever is simply the best possible ending fo him

#silmarillion #the silmarillion #feanorians #maglor #tolkien #silm #i feel very strongly about this #it’s so perfect in so many ways #and I’m not even saying he’ll eventually be saved #him being saved is not a necessity for this #but maglor throwing himself into the water cluching the silmaril is dumb #and boring #and after maedhros just plain repetitive #like i get that ur all for that death = redemption something something christianity #but mags deserves for his final act to be the abandonament of the silmaril #after spending the whole story following his family even when he knew it was wrong #also the fulfilment of feanor added ‘sing of our deeds forever’

Au in which

Miriel comes out of the halls almost the minute finwe dies, and makes a beeline for her son, only to arrive just after the feanorians have taken the ships to ME,

But Miriel promptly goes “fuck that bullshit” and highjacks another boat (all while the nolofinweons are watching in fascinated shock and horror) and books it across the ocean

And makes it just in time to prevent Feanor from becoming flame broiled bbq curtesy of the balrogs AND shows off just how badass she is.

That’s one hell of a way to reunite with her son, let me tell you.

#Miriel is the one who shows up 15 minutes late with starbucks (a sword) and saves everyone’s ass #Miriel is the cool parent #miriel coming across finwe in the halls: bye bitch #miriel is feral #give miriel a personality 2023 #feanor #feanor has no idea how to process this #his (thought to be dead) mom shows up right after his father died and saves his ass #mama miriel #miriel #miriel therinde #feanorians #noldo #lord of the rings #lotr #lotr elves #silmarillion #house of edireth #tolkien

Tolkien Fandom Event Calendar

Recently I’ve received some asks about events/weeks in the Tolkien fandom, so I thought I’d compile a list of those that I know about. This is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organizers of these events!

Other blogs you can check out are @tolkieneventsblog and @tolkienfandomevents, though I’m not sure how active those are. The @silmarillionwritersguild Discord also has a channel dedicated to signal boosts for all sorts of Tolkien-related & general fandom happenings, which is another excellent way to keep up with fandom goings-on.

Want to run your own event? Here’s some of my tips!

If your event is not on here and you’d like it to be, let me know and I can add it :) Note: I will only add events that have announced dates!

Earendil meeting The Oarni

Mind you this was done some time ago and I think I have improved at drawing. I just now got around to coloring it and when I asked people wanted to see it, nonetheless I still like it and will probably make a redraw once in the future.

#earendil #earendil the mariner #osse #earendil making friedns with the oarni after they saved him #osse being angry about him being better at making friends #...#call back to that one time osse sunk earendil two times and got another tribe of mermaids to attack him too #because our all star boy was better at making friends #tolkien #silmarillion #jrr tolkien #silm art #digital art #my art #mermaid #mermay #mermay 2023 #i guess
