NOTE: I said “LESS famous changes” - which means the more famous ones (Tom Bombadil, Faramir, Gimli, etc) do not apply here.

(apparently you can't add video to another post, so ...)

I want you all to listen to the Faroese version of this scene, because Hans Tórgarð is the best Treebeard!

Tað vóru góðir dagar! Tá kundi eg ganga og syngja allan dagin og ikki hoyra annað enn afturljóðið av míni egnu rødd í fjallaholunum. Og skógirnir vóru sum skógirnir í Lothlórien, men tættari, sterkari og yngri. Og angin í luftini! Tá kundi eg ganga eine heila viku og bara anda.

Those were the broad days! Time was when I could walk and sing all day and hear no more than the echo of my own voice in the hollow hills. The woods were like the woods of Lothlórien, only thicker, stronger, younger. And the smell of the air! I used to spend a week just breathing.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

In the willow-meads of Tasarinan I walked in the Spring.

Ah! the sight and smell of the Spring in Nan-tasarion!

And I said that was good.

I wandered in the Summer in the elm-woods of Ossiriand.

Ah! the light and the music in the Summer by the Seven Rivers of Ossir!

And I thought that was best.

To the beeches of Neldoreth I came in the Autumn.

Ah! the gold and the red and the sighing of leaves in the Autumn in Taur-na-neldor!

It was more than my desire.

To the pine-trees upon the highland of Dorthonion I climbed in the Winter.

Ah! the wind and the whiteness and the black branches of Winter upon Orod-na-Thôn!

My voice went up and sang in the sky.

And now all those lands lie under the wave,

And I walk in Ambaróna, in Tauremorna, in Aldalómë,

In my own land, in the country of Fangorn,

Where the roots are long,

And the years lie thicker than the leaves

In Tauremornalómë.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" - J.R.R. Tolkien

In case anyone is wondering how my break from grading papers as an English professor is going, I just accidentally discovered plagiarism (a couple of paragraphs of very illegitimate paraphrasing from a Wikipedia article with a most recent edit six years before the book came out) in a published book about scientific principles in Star Trek, which may be the most Trek-Tracks thing that has ever happened. Way to leave my work at the office.

Now I just have to figure out what to do about it…

#star trek #star trek tos #star trek books #star trek tng #Star Trek voy #star trek ds9 #Star Trek ent #I’m not naming the book right now #but I am disappointed #my life

[ent-is-undecisive]

The characters can be hearing voices from lack of sleep and be mentally tortured through an art piece and im just hanging out having fun but have a character rely on technology as it gets away from him and i am uncomfortable enough to stop reading every few pages. This is why i use technology as little as possible.

#ent talks #thirteen storeys spoilers #is this a thing???? idk its a book but its fun and good so ppl should get a chance not to be spoiled???

[aarchimedes]

just finished two towers for the first time 💃🏻💃🏻

#lotr liveblog #lotr #that took forever but like. it wasn't hard to read?? idk why it took so long #my fifth book of the year though!! #takeaways: samfro is real. legolas and gimli are lovers and it annoys aragorn to no end. #also ents are fuckin cool #😁👍🏻

Things in The Two Towers book that I thoroughly enjoyed:

-The audiobook having the tree Ent song actually sung (I would love for this to be in the movie).

-Gandalf and Co. coming to Isengard post destruction.

-Shelob's lair. Oh, my Sam.

-The narrator's Smeagol voice.

Looking forward to Return of the King. Then it's time for a movie re-watch again.

I’m pretty sure this has been said already, but as a more recent fan who is only just starting to take a minor character like Radagast into deeper consideration, I’d like to pour it all out anyway.

One might be quick to ask, why would one of the Istari have a mission other than defeating Sauron? Why would Yavanna, who was the one who insisted Radagast join the Istari, be less interested in the defeat of Sauron than the others and only want an Istari to protect her trees? But here, I think, is the genius of Tolkien at work yet again:

There is more than one way to contribute to the defeat of an enemy.

During LOTR, while Gandalf is more of a leader and gives direct strategic advice and guidance to the armies (as does Saruman, but not on the Free Peoples’ side because he’s a traitor), and the Blue Wizards are said to have served as undercover spies weakening Sauron’s power over the Easterlings, Radagast’s skills are different. His power lies among the natural world that Sauron is threatening.

Some of the Istari needed to help with the physical battles against Sauron’s armies, yes, but Sauron was not just threatening the Free Peoples. He was also threatening the world’s olvar and kelvar, which were in as much danger - and, as living beings, had as much intrinsic value - as the people.

So Radagast WAS contributing to Sauron’s defeat, by focusing his attention and work on the living forms of Middle-Earth who could not speak.

On top of this, the natural world’s previous protectors - the Ents and Entwives - were no longer as sufficient as they used to be. Sauron destroyed a majority of, if not all the Entwives in the Second Age when they burned their gardens. By the time the Third Age arrived, the number of guardians of the olvar and kelvar had severely diminished, and Sauron was regrowing as a threat. The poison and darkness that he would spread was likely to annihilate all of Middle-Earth’s forests and wipe out the Ents completely.

So naturally, Yavanna would want a contributor to the fight against Sauron to focus on defending the olvar and kelvar. And she would want him to stick around as long as possible, and give him permission to stay there forever and never return to Aman if he so chose, which he did.

And I think there’s plenty of evidence of Radagast’s successes, considering the state of the world during the events of LOTR. Fangorn Forest still exists. Mirkwood still exists. The Shire still exists. Parth Galen still exists. Dozens of lakes and rivers still exist. Who but Radagast could have helped the Ents preserve these places and prevent Sauron’s forces from totally eradicating them?

Radagast’s many achievements of his mission are actually right under our noses. Saruman calls Radagast a fool because he is not truly in tune with Yavanna’s world and sees it as little, worthless, and able to be conquered by him. Even Gandalf does not entirely share the immeasurable depth of Radagast’s understanding of the olvar and kelvar.

Any work during a war that is not direct involvement in military/battle strategies is all too easily dismissed as passivity or inaction. But by just taking a closer look, we see how Radagast proves that silly notion wrong.

We all know about the “Archerite” moment in the episode “Proving Ground.” So who was gonna tell me about the fact that there’s a T’poshi moment like that in the book “Daedalus?”
