Illustration for the book by J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Two Towers" from the Lord of the Rings series, one of my favorite works of fantasy.

Иллюстрация к книге Дж.Р.Р. Толкиена "Две башни" из цикла "Властелин колец". Одно из моих любимых произведений мирового фэнтези.

You know, it's kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of "saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon". Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there's a reason he's over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.

Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.

Elrond is said to be "as kind as summer", which I absolutely love as a descriptor. I imagine this as resting under a weeping willow by a river bank in the middle of June. Every time you start to feel uncomfortably warm, a gentle breeze sweeps over the cool water and brushes your hair away from your forehead. That feeling of restfulness and comfort, that feeling of the warm sun and gentle breeze that is always there for you, that is the kindness of Elrond Halfelven.

I saw a bunch of amazing witch/wizard hat but it's styled as a giant mushroom and I think Bilbo would give it to Gandalf as a nice gift (Post ID below!)

[ID: a digital coloured comic of galdalf and a middle-aged bilbo, smoking together. bilbo looks up at gandalf and says, “Gandalf, old friend, I have something for you!”

galdalf replies, “I don’t recall telling you my birthday, Bilbo.”

on the next panel, bilbo, holding a box with a bow, says, “Ta-da!” he’s grinning widely with his eyes closed.

gandalf, now also smiling with his eyes closed, asks, “My dear Bilbo! Is it more of your Old Toby!”

bilbo replies, “Even better! Go on. Open it.”

on the last panel, gandalf is wearing a hat that resembles a giant red and white mushroom. there are sparkles on either side of him. he says, “What a lovely hat. Well, how do I look?”

bilbo replies, with emphasis, “Splendid!” /end ID]

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion

There far away was the Lonely Mountain on the edge of eyesight. On its highest peak snow yet unmelted was gleaming pale. "So comes snow after fire, And even dragons have their ending!" said Bilbo, and he turned his back on his adventure. — THE SONG OF THE LONELY MOUNTAIN X THE HOBBIT @pscentral event — adaptations
