Every storm that comes, also comes to an end.

The full set of all of my LOTR pieces! they are currently available at Gallery Nucleus!

tolkien writing elves: this is Fëafineärenfindelwë he ruled as a king for 12,069 years and he slew seven balrogs and he created three conlangs and he invented light

tolkien writing men: this is Berengorn he’s a nobleman with a fancy sword and he looks just like an elf and he was raised by elves and he marries an elf

tolkien writing dwarves: this is Durin XVI Ironking he forged a billion legendary swords

tolkien writing hobbits: this is Berry Bingo Bongfeet he writes songs about trees and he owns a weed farm

why didn’t gandalf just carry the ring to mordor himself with these tongs

like i’m picturing him being really careful and looking at it and carrying it exactly like this while walking or riding through the woods and across rivers and up mountains and through valleys and he doesn’t drop it even once except at the very end where he tidily drops it into the volcano. frodo sam and the crew and even gollum wholly undisturbed. sauron can’t find him bc of the meditative aura surrounding him which is generated by his immense focus on not dropping it

World's most tense egg and spoon race

this somehow became the funniest thing on earth in my head and I had to draw it so

I’m laughing to drown out the tears

The hobbits in LotR, every 5 minutes: Our adventure is not like we would have liked at all, it’s not fun exciting like Bilbo’s was.

Bilbo, who has been telling the bedtime story version of a story whose tragedy still haunts him: Ha, Ha, Ha, right…

Adding Fuck to LOTR, from the Hobbits.

Since Gandalf smokes weed and Radagast does shrooms, I have a theory that each of the wizards represents a drug. Saruman is cocaine.

One hundred and twenty nine years ago, the world was welcoming one of the greatest storytellers ever.

Ok, I’m one day late and I really wish I could have created something new for the birthday of our dear old friend, but in any case, it’s always good to celebrate the fantastic works of the one and only, J.R.R. Tolkien.

Hope you are surrounded by all that’s green and good, dear sir. Thank you for the world you brought to life!

And a happy week ahead everyone! 🍃⚔️📖

Buried down in drafts so well more than one day late, but I like the art so here it is…

I kind of want to see a goose scream at a Ringwraith now...

I'm not very funny, but here you go:

It’s a beautiful day in the Shire and you are a horrible heroic goose

the road goes ever on and on

Pardon me while I beat a dead horse but it’s just SO funny how Tolkien was trying to think of a way to continue the fun little universe he invented, and right off the bat he was like “bilbo is way too much of a rude bitch to handle the dark storyline I have in mind”… but he wanted his hero to be related to bilbo still so he considered making it bilbo’s son…. but then he was like “well that means I have to explain bilbo getting a wife and for reasons I somehow just can’t put my finger on that makes absolutely NO sense at all…” so instead he just invented a tragically orphaned cousin-nephew and then accidentally made him gay too…. 

okay listen UP the only parallel in cinematic history that matters and i mean the ONLY one is when the shot in fellowship of the ring where frodo's hand reaches into the water to grab sam's is mirrored by the shot in return of the king where sam reaches over the edge of the volcano to grab frodo's hand and pull him up like. poetic FUCKING cinema.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So all the Lord Of The Rings movies are rated PG-13, but the reasons why are amusing

The first 2 are because of Epic Battle Sequences And Some Scary Images, which sounds about right

But then we get to Return Of The King, which doesn’t just have Epic battle sequences and some scary images

noooo, it has INTENSE Epic Battle Sequences. And scary images? now they’re not just scary, they’re frightening. They stepped up their game for the final film

“Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales..”

Happy Birthday to the man who’s beautiful world will forever remind us that there is good worth fighting for. Happy Birthday, Tolkien..you did a pretty good one
