I know this is something trivial to be annoyed about but it ticks me off that demonstrably evil companies are naming themselves after LoTR objects.

At least Palantir is on brand for being the surveillance tool of pure evil.

But Anduril? Listen children, you are most definitely not a tool of good.

#ThrowbackThursday with this 2022 map of one of my oldest passions: my mother used to read Bilbo to us to put us to sleep, I read all Tolkien works and try to learn Sindarin during my teens, Jackson's trilogy is my favorite movie since I saw FOTR at the theater at 9 y.o, I try to read LOTR & Silmarillion regularly...

It took an eternity to tool and another eternity to lace. Hoping to do the Beleriand one one day !

If you've ever dreamt of living in the style of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, now there's a builder to help make your dream a reality. His name is Lucas Moret and you can see more of his work: @lucas.renove on TikTok

Is it ok to violate the Prime Directive just this once to help out a friend?

Christopher Lee, o ator que interpretou Saruman em O Senhor dos Anéis, recita o poema do Um Anel, tanto na Língua Comum quanto na Língua Negra de Mordor.

Some more Hill Tribesmen painted up.

Don't you you hate it when you're trying to write about the Silvan Elves of Nandorin and it autocorrects it to Silan Elves.

So trying to figure out what I just saw, I guess the laserblaster is like the #LOTR ring thing, and Billy went straight into Smeagol/Gollum mode without wasting our time with hobbits and wizards or quests or any sense of a plot at all.

With a bit less time following cars driving around and the pool frolicking this could've been a half-hour movie.

Que viagem, mano.

“One does not simply walk into Mordor.”

I feel like Worf and Gimli would get along.

"They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone. And we only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread... the sound of trees... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious".

All shot using real lighting, smoke, figures & miniature sets. I digitally illustrated some hair onto Gollum as this figure doesn't have any.

A great pub sign seen today

edit: It's The Green Dragon, by the way. It reminded me of the Green Dragon in Bywater, in the Lord of the Rings
