there is a video essay to be made about the rings of power, nihilism, late stage capitalism, and the end of representation politics media which of fucking course circles back to disney, the star wars sequel trilogy, and the MCU-ification of nostalgia

Just to clarify my opinions: -Tolkien’s letters are not the final arbiter of meaning for his texts -Different people can like different things (or the same things for different reasons) -If your fanship of a book/tv/movie makes you act like a jerk to other people, you are doing it wrong

After the comments I got on this, I want to publicly say that you are all correct, when I painted this I was all about sad Maedhros BUT WHAT IF (swipe please <; ) (I considered writing "did you say Silmaril?" but it seemed too mean 😝) #Maedhros #Nelyo #Silmarillion #Tolkien

While I was in Aotearoa/NZ and observing the scenery, it was not lost on me how the crowd that co-ops Tolkien for white supremacy and praises the movies for adhering to that narrative, are obsessed with visuals that aren’t even in Europe. Not even the same hemisphere. And on colonized land at that.

For no particular reason reposting this excellent older piece by my friend @understatesmen.bsky.social Aotearoa/NZ is not middle earth, and it's not a Maaori-themed holiday park either.

Aotearoa is not Middle-earth

Middle Earth has been clinging to Aotearoa for nearly 20 years. It's time to push the two apart.

I'm just another elf enjoyer who's here to share the occasional piece of Tolkien art, writing, or headcanons/opinions! Mostly Silmarillion. Be kind and I look forward to interacting with friendly exiles old and new ✌️

If twitter’s removing the block feature then they should make public the government IDs of the fascists, racists and transphobes that infest the site.

I shake my fist at the fact that post threads do not work the same way, and that the invite system makes sense but is very painstakingly long to implement into practice!

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:
