@tolkiendil.bsky.social #TolkienTrewsday #ArbrediTolkien Thème: ROYAUMES CACHÉS
Bladorthin le Barde@bladorthin.bsky.social · 5mo ago@tolkiendil.bsky.social L’ #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) vous emmène visiter les ROYAUMES DES ELFES, et nous commençons par un paradoxe : comment se fait-il que nombre d’Elfes vivent, comme les Gobelins et les Nains, dans des cavernes ? Venez visiter le palais du Roi des Elfes! ⤵️
Plenty of Hidden Realms to be found in this #TheHobbit postcard sent from Sweden. Even a little Gollum hidden away in his cave. Illustration by Hans Arnold, a children's book illustrator. Wonder if Mrs Evans or the sender was a #Tolkien fan? #TolkienTrewsday
#TolkienTrewsday Week 180 and Amon Hen Art Challenge Week 1: Hidden Realms Bilbo, Thorin, and the dwarves are waylaid by goblins and brought before the Great Goblin in Goblin Town, a settlement hidden within the Misty Mountains’ caverns.

Picked up a couple of cheap bits of original #Tolkien art. Following Glorfindel & Leaving Rivendell by Eleanor Clayforth. Not familiar with the artist but quite like the style. Think they are pen & ink @joelmerriner.bsky.social ? Frames need a bit of tlc #LOTR
@tolkiendil.bsky.social "C'est pitié que Bilbo n'ait pas poignardé cette créature" dit Frodo (SdA I,2) Pour cet #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday ), consacrons&nous à la PITIÉ et réhabilitons cette valeur en y montrant tout ce que Tolkien voyait dans cette valeur si décriée... ⬇️

#OnThisDay in 1956, #Tolkien writes to Miss J. Burn. In a draft letter Tolkien reflects on Frodo's role in the destruction of the Ring and discusses the theological implications of his actions. Tolkien rejects the notion of Frodo's failure as a narrative flaw, and mentions Gollum's missed (1/2)

"They built a great watch-tower on Weathertop, Amon Sûl they called it. It was burned and broken, and nothing remains of it now but a tumbled ring, like a rough crown on the old hill's head" #LOTR #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday The Tower and the Ruin. Jef Murray art @timbolton.bsky.social
My largest copy of Lord of The Rings. French edition by Famot with images from the #RalphBakshi movie in the centre pages amd love the small end of chapter images. John Howe #LOTR to give an idea of size #Tolkien
And the award for Creepiest Dragon of the Day goes to... Glaurung (1981) by the late, great Roger Garland. If you're old enough you'll remember this one from the cover of the 1982 Unfinished Tales paperback by Unwin. A truly weird and icky Great Worm emerges from a sphincter-like gate #Tolkien 😱
@tolkiendil.bsky.social On parle beaucoup de CHEVAUX dans le Seigneur des Anneaux mais on prête moins d’attention à ceux du Hobbit. Or le traitement de ces animaux est très intéressant et à contre-courant de l'époque de Tolkien.L’ #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) vous en dit plus dans ce fil...⤵️
The ponies in The Hobbit don't have much luck. Eaten by Goblins or some of them eaten by Smaug. Wonder if #Tolkien felt bad & gave Bill a large portion of luck? Horses for #TolkienTrewsday Art from animated film book & comic strip adaptation of #TheHobbit @timbolton.bsky.social

Grishnákh and Uglúk at No1 in the charts? 2 singles from @ralphbakshi.bsky.social #LOTR. The main theme & B side on one is Following the Orcs. Love Howard Shore's music but a big fan of Leonard Rosenman's score for the animated film, Wonder if the 2 Orcs realeased a video for the single? #Tolkien
New on my Tipeee page: a summary of my #PhD thesis on #Tolkien and illustrations. This is to give you a hopefully detailed overview of what's in there while I continue my quest to find a publishing house (it's long). 👀 fr.tipeee.com/mariebreta/
So, after nearly ten years I've officially left HE teaching. It's been good, but it's time for a change. Luckily I've got some exciting new projects to throw myself into. Firstly, I'm writing a new book, a (🤞) funny tale about '80s fantasy fandom called Chaotic Good Guy...1/2 (Art: John Blanche)
