Logging on just to say how much I enjoyed @TeawithTolkien's book.
Full of love for Tolkien and offering so many beautiful reminders of the lessons we can take from Middle-earth into our own lives, the book is both universal in its insights and deeply personal in its writing.
Warner Bros could never hope to match the genius of Sir Demetrious Polychron and his tales of HMS Samwise the capitalist king and the super secret rings of power given to animals π
in the next couple of weeks @DailyRoP and i are going to do a livestream looking back at season 2 of the rings of power. weβre going to do a βbest ofβ and βworst ofβ - chatting about everything we loved and things we didnβt like as much!

Hearing that Sauron has deposed Celebrimbor as Lord of Eregion for hoarding his precious rings. Sauron would like to make clear that this is not another foreign war for regime change, and that he will now make Middle-earth very wealthy. Lots to think about!
βWith the aid of CΓrdan EΓ€rendil built Vingilot, the Foam-flower, fairest of the ships of song; golden were its oars and white its timbers, hewn in the birchwoods of Nimbrethil, and its sails were as the argent moon.β
~ The Silmarillion
βThe gods laid a Ban on the NΓΊmenΓ³reans from the beginning: they must never sail to EressΓ«a, nor westward out of sight of their own land. In all other directions they could go as they would.β

It's funny when people get worked up about intra-fandom drama these days, because some of you weren't around for the wild takes we had to suffer before the show aired
New Video: Season 3 Has Wrapped for The Rings of Power! Hereβs everything we know about this season so far.

βIn that time the stronghold and refuge of Imladris, that Men called Rivendell, was founded by Elrond Half-elven; and long it endured.β
~ The Silmarillion
βAgainst Aeglos the spear of Gil-galad none could stand; and the sword of Elendil filled Orcs and Men with fear, for it shone with the light of the sun and of the moon, and it was named Narsil.β

Making a new year's resolution to be nicer to Celeborn, given he'll be appearing in the show soon. Time to become a silver clam stan by the end of 2023.
Given that the show has confirmed that there is a time jump for S3, it's nice to know that Elendil has really just spent all that time riding horses. This man will do anything but be an active parent to his children
