Wellington: Where’s Major Sharpe?

Hogan: Oh he’s sick today, Sir.

Wellington: Sick as in „ literally dying“, or sick as in „he is busy doing sth reckless, stupid, strictly against orders but probably efficient and you are covering for him“, or sick as in „he is doing sth reckless, stupid, strictly against orders but probably efficient actually following YOUR orders“ or sick as in „actually sick and his Sergeant and his wife forced him back to bed before he could do anything stupid“?

Hogan: ….

Hogan: The last one actually ,Sir.

Wellington: Tell him my get well wishes.

My favorite Tolkien illustrations by Cor Blok in no particular order:

Bilbo and Gollum. Bilbo is the moon for some reason which is cool i guess

Smeagol and Deagol. I love the seaweed in the background, great attention to detail

Frodo serving Robin Hood-realness at his and Bilbo’s birthday party. Literally iconic

Isildur taking the ring from Sauron. Its great but I would like to see more of Sauron than just his hand, because I think he has the potential to look really cool

Pippin jumping into the bath at Crickhollow… no comment

Bilbo gives the Mithril coat to Frodo. Great poses, very stiff and awkward. I like it.

The fellowship. This one is a classic.

Gandalf and the balrog. Amazing

Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo. I love the way he reaches for his sword, it looks very natural

Merry and Pippin and Treebeard. I like his legs and the fact that it looks like he’s wearing shorts.

#Laughing so hard! #these are amazing!

Brown did not really put forward the thesis that Constantine the great replaced matriarchal religions with a patriarchal one and in the next sentence mentions the absence of female rabbis in the Jewish orthodoxy as proof.

reading the da Vinci code for work. Anyone with any knowledge on religions, any religions, should get a raise for doing that

the last unicorn 🤝 lord of the rings

Everything is saved but everything is lost for the protagonist because they are so irrevocably changed they can never truly be home again

the weather was nice long enough for me to get the balcony ready for use but when all was set got too cold to actually use it

Headcanon that while Boromir is tall Faramir is a good 10cm taller than him- when Boromir came home from a months long campaign and found his “ little one” had outgrown him he spiralled into an existential crisis he never quite could put behind him. Use of “ little one” and “ little brother” tripled consequently.

In my defence I was desperate and helpless against the flood of books that keeps invading my flat.
