Let's build a giant recommendation thread. Every few weeks I stumble across someone whose work makes me stop scrolling and think, "How have I never seen this before?" So I'd love your help. Tag a Tolkien artist whose work you love or share a favorite piece of their work.
Executive decision paralysis is a right pain sometimes.
The talent of the artists in the Tolkien fandom is like looking up at the stars in the night sky, first in the city, and then in the countryside--you see some at first, and then the more you look, the more there are twinkling and shining so brightly. And they're all so brilliant!
Announcing our first confirmed artists for the Tolkien & Middle-earth Online Artist Exhibition! Registration is open now for artists, attendees, and anyone who loves Tolkien-inspired art (link in bio!); more artists announcements are still to come!

A dear friend's recent post made me want to inquire... what is it you most like to discuss with others about Tolkien and his works? What is it you most like to talk about, to muse over, to pour over, to dig into?
The Tolkien & Middle-earth Online Art Exhibition, hosted by @roac.bsky.social and taking place August 15, 2026, is now accepting registrations, artwork submissions, and presentation proposals.
Proud #Tolkien community moment: I have a hard rule that you must ask someone before you DM them in my spaces, and watching my folks practice that more brings me joy. It's important to practice consent, boundaries, and giving people the ability to say no even in small ways in Tolkien communities.
So I did a thing... Come check it out I guess? ... ... ... Actually please come check it out! 👉🏻👈🏻 Link is in the bio! #Tolkien #middleearth #LOTR #lotr

Did you know your favorite Tolkien content can often take hours of shooting, reshooting, writing, schedule, researching, editing, and more? I know a lot of creators offer their time, efforts, and knowledge as a labor of love, sometimes with ways to support them!

Just finished watching season one of Frieren with my two Tolkien movie night groups (most of whom it was their first time watching it and some of whom aren't big into anime!). Who all here is a Frieren fan or who has been meaning to watch it? #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth #anime #Frieren

It’s so important to support the creators, pages, spaces, and friends whose work you enjoy... whether that’s sharing their posts, leaving a like, adding a thoughtful comment, or engaging in the conversation.
Leave me something beautiful from Tolkien's works, creations centered around Tolkien/Middle-earth, and/or the Tolkien community.

Just your gentle reminder that it's okay to get burned out on community, talking Tolkien, and taking space for a bit. You're welcome back anytime; there's always a place for you.
Something lovely for your feeds if you have some time today or want some beautiful, carefully crafted, M-e inspired and transportive music! Celtic Prog Rock Musician Dave Brons has a new album coming out today, as well as a launch party he's holding online shortly at 3p EDT that I'll be attending.
Well it really and truly is that day of the year: March 25... Tolkien Reading Day! (It's also the day of the downfall of Sauron and the destruction of the One Ring, of course. That may be an important thing that happens on this day, too.)
It’s World Poetry Day! What are your favorite Tolkien poem(s) within or outside of his Legendarium?
