The Tolkien Joke and Meme thread

[Miguel]

Of the long years of peace that followed after the coming of Denethor there is little tale. In those days, it is said, Daeron the Minstrel, chief loremaster of the kingdom of Thingol, devised his Runes; and the Naugrim that came to Thingol learned them, and were well-pleased with the device, esteeming Daeron's skill higher than did the Sindar, his own people. By the Naugrim the Cirth were taken east over the mountains and passed into the knowledge of many peoples; but they were little used by the Sindar for the keeping of records, until the days of the War, and much that was held in memory perished in the ruins of Doriath. But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.

I just realized that Martin used the name "Daeron" for his 'King Daeron II Targaryen. What the heck.

Just remember, Tolkien still has books coming out after he's died. Martin can't even complete his series while he's still alive

Another gem from /r/silmarillionmemes

Celegorm and Curufin be like

I found a subreddit that combines LOTR and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (there's a sub for literally EEVERYthing!)

Ah, OK, so that's why I failed to understand some "punch lines" (at least I hope that's the reason). 🥴

*Coughs after brushing off a very dusty memory*
Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
Now what would these guy make out of TH and / or LoTR - or have made, the five surviving Pythons are all in their mid- to late seventies by now.

Unfortunately, Terry Jones is suffering from advanced dementia.

I will say that for many years, I had hopes Terry Gilliam would be allowed to direct a LOTR film; I still think that if he could contain his natural propensity for anarchy, he could have made a go of it.

OK, that was a bit of a bringdown, so while I'm here:
