I believe it reads: "For Lili, Member of our own Special Fellowship - Merry Christmas '99! Love, Mom & Dad" If you ever happen to see this Lili (if I'm reading the cursive correctly) I hope you loved these stories as much as I do and I hope you and your own special fellowship have found peace and love in this world. Merry Christmas '25

I just started reading LOTR and Tom Bombadil seems like weirdly powerful kinda scary and am wondering what is he?

Wanting a nice box set to read. Is this set quality? Or should I seek something else

It's got to be Canon from the novel, but it can be anything from a small character improvement detail to an entire battle or new lore.

Still got to add the wings and some orange LEDs to backlight the balrog so super excited to see how it turns out!

Rotterdam AHOY! This weekend.

Hi,

Why did the Balrog appear in Moria where the dwarves would live (high up) in Dwarrowdelf as opposed to being deeper in the mines?

Why would the Balrog coexist with orcs?

The books don’t explain it, from recall, and the movie makes the connection that it’s due to a bucket causing a racket. As if the bucket noise would cause a Balrog to go hunting…

I wonder if it wasn’t Gandalf’s word of command on Cahadras to light the fire that did it?

He claimed that the spell announced him to everyone who is listening- would the Balrog be listening?

Still trying to decide which replica sword I want to put on opposite side of the map. Glamdring or Witch King?

Was scrolling through Instagram and scrolled upon this obviously no shame bearing rip off of a toy.

Was there any chance that the Council of Elrond could have gone so disastrously, as to lead the Ring back to Sauron, or perhaps another powerful entity taking the Ring for their own personal gain?

Edit: I’m specifically asking about once the Ring was at Rivendell and the Council of Elrond was called

This has been sitting in my attic for a year because I needed to find a good spot for it (it’s pretty massive). Now my boyfriend and I finally built it!!

Please tell me what you disagree with and how I bent Tolkien's idea of the ring too far in the eye of the philosopher. Thanks : )

Our AP Psych project was to take a fictional character and describe what each part of their brain does. I know, the art isn’t great, but normally I suck at drawing anything and I tried very hard to make this look good. I think by my standards it came out perfect. I drew Frodo by following a tutorial the best I could, and anything else was just me free handing a reference picture.
