For the first time in my slow handwritten transcription of The Lord of the Rings, my writing date coincides with the events of the novel. It is 30 September 2026 (SR3018) and Nazgûl have paid an unwelcome visit to The Prancing Pony in Bree
A handwritten transcription of The moment when Black Riders raid the inn at Bree, searching for the Ring of their master, SauronPost from @shire-reckoning on Bluesky, for date SR 30 September 2018. Strider and the hobbits wake to find their planned bedroom wrecked, bedding slashed, and all the ponies missing from the stables. Luckily they had slept in the parlour

A POET HERO! i'm in love with this description of arondir 🥰
"Arondir is, as always, a poet hero,'
,." Cruz
Córdova said. "He carries his compass and his true north: dignity, discipline, and love. We are going to have much more of that." Will he survive the increasingly brutal war consuming Middle-earth? Cruz Córdova carefully avoided confirming or denying anything, but the answer as almost a spoiler: "My friend, I haven't swum this far to drown at the shore," he said.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I'm on a big boat! Heading to the mainland from Isle of Mull, for a sight test and various errands. I haven't been on the big boat (MV Isle of Mull) for at least 2 years. It was very nice to get a coffee on board!
View from the lounge of MV Isle of Mull, sailing from Craignure (Isle of Mull) to Oban. Across rippling steel-blue waters, islands emerge, dappled with intermittent autumn sunlight. The waters are dotted with whitecaps and seabirds

S3 marketing of #TheRingsOfPower in a nutshell so far: ew.com/rings-of-pow...
Three different pictures of Frodo and Sam on some rocks near Mordor, from The Two Towers movie. They are wearing light greenish cloaks.
-The top picture has Sam looking at Frodo while holding something in his hands with the caption “Rest of TROP fandom” over him as he says “Oh yes, lovely—Sauron stills”
-The middle picture has Sam look further into their bags while he says “And look!”
-Bottom picture is a close up of Sam’s sarcastic face with the words “More Sauron stills”.

Younger book "But I like it here!"

Younger book "Will we ever return?" 
Older book "The cycle is eternal: the Christmas bestsellers and prize nominees will come and go, but people will always want something nice to read on holiday."
