That's an orc-potato. I'm staying far away from that. They can't reach Lórien after all, so I'm safe.

EA, this is a great meme. Imagine how much better ROP would be if the Monty Python wrote it. 🤣

"Twice the pride, double the fall."

Fëanor: "I honestly don't care as long as I get my Silmarilli back!"
Mandos: "You're totally not getting them back, no matter how old you are. And at some point, you'll never grow old again. You'll stay eternally young."

Ah...saddening was that.

I've personally preferred the House of Finarfin to be most similar to my temperament, but considering my dark hair, I'd be amongst the House of Fingolfin.

And according to that quiz, I tied with Vanyar and Noldor, so...

Vanyarin-Noldorin heritage?

Radagast at home ... sort of:

Ah yes, another beer brewed by the Czechs, among the master beer brewers of Europe. The breweries in Pilsen and Budweis are better known (the Anheuser-Busch product must be marketed under the name "Bud" in all but four countries of the European Union in deference to the Czech original, which probably inspired German-born Adolphus Busch to produce his "Bohemian-style" lager after a vacation there). Interestingly, the brewery is quite young, founded in 1970, but the name is derived from a Slavic god. I don't recall how familiar JRRT was with Slavic mythology, at least compared to the Germanic, Celtic, Classical and Finnish mythologies, but a one-letter difference sure can "fuel" speculation.

It is quite controversial whether Tolkien was actually influenced by Slavic mythology and languages.

Thinking about Radagast

How often does anyone say that?! Tolkien’s Radagast has to be one of the most overlooked characters in his entire legendarium. And why not?...
