no YOU lie and say you met through mutual friends so you don’t have to admit it was a dating app. i lie and heavily imply we met on a dating app so i don’t have to admit that it was actually in the comments of a work in the silmarillion and other histories of middle earth tag on archiveofourown

In Tolkien's early drafts, Númenor is an industrialized maritime empire with steampunk warships. That's why I love Ted Nasmith's Temple of Melkor in a late-19th-century Armenelos - it just *feels* right. Note too the similarity with William Logsdail's 1887 painting of St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

The Temple of Melkor, by Ted Nasmith. A vast structure with stone walls and a burnished dome rises above the Númenórean capital of Armenelos. Contrary to most portrayals, Armenelos here looks like London in the late 19th or early 20th century, which is appropriate given Númenor's imperial dominance during this period. Smoke rises from the apex of the Temple; a cart wheels the dead branches of the White Tree Nimloth to be burned upon Sauron's altar. The sky is a threatening yellow-orange with dark clouds massing on the horizon."St. Paul's and Ludgate Hill" (1887 or thereabouts) by William Logsdail depicts ahe stately dome of St. Paul's Cathedral in London rising above a bustling Victorian street. Steam and smoke rise in clouds from the teeming crowds and steam-engines below, contributing to the smog in a bleary English sky.

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

J.R.R. Tolkien had a conservative temperament, no doubt, but his reactionary readers miss how uncompromising he is about the ultimate unrecoverability of the past. However desirable (or undesirable) it was, it is gone, and you can't force it to stay. That's what makes the Rings of Power so tempting!

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush? She was my favourite of the girls even though I was nothing like her and didn't necessarily want to be her 🥲 I really should've known, the signs were all there.
