Anti-hobbits are normally busy with adventures but this one is content to sit on his sky extrusion and be rude to passers-by

Lamps! Trees! Spiders! In the new SHELVED BY GENRE we continue to read THE SILMARILLION, learning so so so so so much about Elves while still engaging in our patented style of lighthearted but thoughtful engagement with the fundamental questions of a text. rangedtouch.com/2026/09/25/t...

Manwë told me Melkor keeps harrying the Firstborn of Ilúvatar so I asked how many Elves he has and he said he just goes to Middle-Earth and invites more Elves on the Great Journey so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding the Quendi to Morgoth and then Nienna started crying.

THE OUTSIDER is an HBO limited series based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, and now on the JUST KING THINGS bonus episode feed, you can hear us talk about how good it is even if Paddy Considine cannot really do a Southern accent. www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...

heads up that this is also discussed under the Greek term of clinamen from Epicurus and Deleuze writes about it pretty extensively - ck

SHELVED BY GENRE closes out LORD OF THE RINGS by reading the APPENDICES! I hope you like LORE! And CALENDARS! And jokes about THE SHINING, which weirdly enough has a lot of Tolkien influence going on it turns out! rangedtouch.com/2026/08/28/t...

A new Patreon Bonus Episode for JUST KING THINGS has us talking both seasons of the TV show CASTLE ROCK, an unfairly maligned banger of a FARGO-style remix series that takes the King Things and uses them to produce some weird, weird, weird but extremely awesome stuff: www.patreon.com/rangedtouch/...

The Ring is destroyed, Sauron overthrown! Definitely NOTHING ELSE BAD could happen to our heroes as they journey home. Because, as we learn on the latest SHELVED BY GENRE, at the end of RETURN OF THE KING, Tolkien rediscovers his abilities as a comic novelist. rangedtouch.com/2026/08/14/t...

when you look at those charts and notice all standards of living and social life going to hell starting in the 80s, well, let's just say there's a very clear political reason why

1980 The Wtich-king comes Mordor and there gathers the Nazgul. A Balrog appears in Moria, and slays Durin VI.

Wake up, babe: new JUST KING THINGS dropped. It's about the high concept dark fantasy novel/TV show pitch SLEEPING BEAUTIES that Stephen wrote with his son Owen King, about a magic plague that teleports women into the future and leaves men to fight it out on their own rangedtouch.com/2026/08/09/s...

catching up on @rangedtouch.bsky.social 's lord of the year and this stupid 0.5 second joke has been inhabiting my brain for days.

a digital illustration riffing on the "de-bimbofication" meme format, titled "the bilbo-fication of thranduil". depicts the tall, slender and glowing elf king thranduil stumbling across the redbook of westmarch, reading it, and transforming over five drawings into the short, round hobbit bilbo.
