And speaking of pronouns, flat-out my favorite part of the LOTR Appendices is when it’s revealed that the Gondorian dialect of the Common Speech differentiates between formal and informal second-person pronouns but the distinction’s been lost in the Hobbit’s dialect, so Pippin’s blithely been using familiar terms of address with the Lord of the City, and thus helps to explain both why the Gondorians are so ready to assume he’s a prince and why Denethor finds him so amusing to have around.
not what i expected from a post that began with “speaking of pronouns,” but an a++ show of the versatility and surprise daily available on tumblr dot com
are you telling me Pippin says “y’all”
“can you pass the mead fam”
When you are a little bit fucked up with everything just go to Angband’s wall and… enjoy the landscape
jrr tolkien: i really love my wife. i will make her into a beautiful, unearthly half-angel princess who beat satan almost single-handedly and won an argument with the keeper of the halls of the dead
jrr tolkien: i really love my best friend. i will make him into a grumpy old tree who never gets to the point
I think Finrod would give A+ hugs. but with his elf strength and whatnot he’d probably crush me lol…
why is it so funny to me that elrond wanted to send glorfindel, “one of the mightiest Elves of Middle-earth”, w/ the fellowship, but gandalf was like “no we need 2 more of frodo’s best friends” and everyone was like “ok”
my theory abt how this went down is that glorfindel, while escorting the hobbits & aragorn to rivendell, got a deep and undying respect for the strength of hobbits, as shown by 1. frodo not dying from that Mortal Wound and 2. three hobbits charging into battle with six whole terrifying ringwraiths when all theyve got is torches and samwise gamgee. like glorfindel probably was just like nah elrond theyve got this under control and also im a little bit terrified of them, which is Reasonable
Today was not a good day for art. Tried to draw Tar-Míriel for the Legendarium Ladies April, but alas… all that came out of it was SAI practice.
In Russia snow has again dropped out T-T
Aaaaand therefore I have drawn Mairon and his favourite raven under snowfall
