Today is just not a good day. And that’s ok. I’ll just blame the weather 😩

Damn it BlueSky! I came here to escape X and feed my Tolkien addiction but I still see people I wish to remain nameless for protection from the algorithm gods! 😭

Favorite book: The Silmarillion. While LOTR and The Hobbit are gateways into the Legendarium, I feel that once you pass the gates it’s the Silm that’s the hub into all the other avenues! 📖✨

And I come back to a Tolkien Challenge! I love it! It’s great seeing everyone’s insight and preferences when it comes to this world we love. 🥰 #tolkientribe

After my Lenten hiatus, all I can say is…”I come back to you know, at the turn of the tide!”

You know when you can’t sleep form excitement? Yeah. . . Idk why I thought this gif was appropriate but I’m totally feeling it. . . Send weird excitement gifs!!!!!

Regardless of character arc, I can’t stand Helm Hammerhand in War of the Rohirrim 🤷🏻‍♂️ #isaidwhatisaid

Haven’t had a full read-through in a few months. I think it’ll get me through the end of this seasonal depression. Hope is rekindled. Spring will come once again, soon enough!

Mae govannen, mfs! 👋🏼 Check out my latest video on THE VOID in Tolkien’s cosmology! youtu.be/vku6xn3BZKM?...

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

Good morning, Blue, have a wonderful #ThroatPunchNazis #ThroatPunchThursday ☕️ ☃️ 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🫂

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” - #JRRTolkien My husband; he is a light to me in dark places, when all other lights go out. 🤍

The Fellowship by Louise Zingarelli. A pencil rendering for the 1979 #Tolkien calendar (Mines of Moria) #LOTR

“Something Tookish woke up in him…” - The Hobbit

Another delay. I find when things like this happen, the game is more likely to be at risk for being a let down. I pray the otherwise! Looking forward to it. (Wish it came out in the winter so it could be SUPER cozy so I have time to even play lol)

The Captivity of Morgoth by Jacek Kopalski, another favorite. It’s just so spicy 🌶️

Moria by John Howe. One of my all time favorites! 🔥

Exploring Tolkien’s Cosmology. This little segments on the Timeless Halls: youtu.be/fhPYB1KlUYI?...

My father played a huge role in my Tolkien journey. He passed away this Friday. Now more than ever I can empathize how even an elf can die of a broken heart. 💔 Tolkien taught me the beauty in sorrow…for me, it’s all love. Miss you, Dad. 🪽

Boromir: one does not simply walk into Mordor Frodo and Sam:

I’ve come to the conclusion that #LadyGaga is my #LadyGaladriel, especially in the #Abracadabra music video.

If you see this, quote with a gif of your personality type.

Bluesky … I told you I like music, fantasy, and video gaming … don’t show me sports 🙃

Just realized I made an entire Tolkien video and deleted it because I was wearing the same outfit in my last video … made them one after the other and I was attempting to free up some storage space … damn it 🫠

Mae govannen, mofos! 👋🏼 Check out my first installment of Tolkien ‘N Tokin’ on YouTube! I’m discussing the deeper truth about when our favorite characters light up. Hope you enjoy and share! Means a ton. 😁 youtu.be/Y8PRgfWS1RA?...

I’m glad everyone who said “2025 is going to be my year” has snapped out of it by now. We all know whose year it’s going to be. They all sat up there in nice little rows. Not ours, not even their beguiled followers’ and duped voters’ year. Their year.

Remember that loosely inspired Tolkien project I mentioned a while ago? The last few weeks have really inspired me to NOT stay silent on the issues we face as a human society. I can’t suppress the loud, gay, free person that I truly am. Keep your eyes peeled. My pride, IMPERISHABLE! 🔥🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎶

Not on substack but this is important!

LONG POST - For those with larger audiences, a repost will be much appreciated to share with as many people as possible In June 2023 it was brought to my attention (and @drnosy.bsky.social ) that there was an individual stalking and harassing women across Tolkien Fandoms /1 #TROPSky #RingsofPower

A fan who was once part of the Twitter Tolkien and TROP community but was found to be sending unsolicited sexual content to members of our community has found his way here and is adding ppl. We had teams on this case because of the serious nature of it and it was multiple ppl affected. 1/

I have a TON of videos from my travels that remind me of some Tolkien landscapes. Should I make some videos with my favorite Tolkien excerpts?

Motto this year: Say less. It began as “Do more, say less,” But I think that defeats the purpose and is really just saying more…ANYWAY, Good night 😴

Thinking about this quote from Morgoth’s Ring and the concept of the long defeat. Defeat is not the end while there is still something in the world that is beautiful. #tolkien #luinellë

Where was Gondor when the TikTok fell??

I ain’t going back if it’s gonna be like THAT 😬

While I loved my time on TikTok, I’ve never felt more Fëanorean than I do right now. Fuck the powers designed to protect us. This last 24 hrs (not even) really gave me the ick. What’s everyone else feeling? I feel like Grima Wormtongue is whispering in my ear … and he’s got really bad breath . 🤢

Wow, haven’t been on in a bit and I’m near at 100 of you following me. Spanx, tokers 💚 #tolkien

Everytime I reflect on my favorite moments in Tolkien’s works, it always comes back down to two: 1. Gandalf (period) 2. Frodo and Sam moments, more specifically, Sam Gamgee’s love for his Mr. Frodo. I well up every time Sam says his many famous quotes.

One scene I wish we could’ve seen in the trilogy is #Saruman of Many Colors…Dare I say, tho, it may have come across as too…fruity? Lol I mean, Christopher Lee totes could have solidified his place as a Gay Icon, don’t ya think? 😂🏳️‍🌈

Does anyone NOT weep when they scream “Death!” In Return of the King ? 🤔
