Denethor (Nando)
Denethor (lived in the Years of the Trees) was the son of the Nandor Elf leader Lenwë (also known as Dan).
Daunted by the towering peaks of the Hithaeglir, Lenwë, his son Denethor, and the Nandor forsook the march of the Elves to the West and passed southward down the Anduin. Much later Denethor would lead a part of these people west into Beleriand.
Centuries before the first rising of...

Just to be clear, Supernatural is not the place to go for accurate theology. But I loved this. Tolkien would be proud. (via artekka)
Nice, I thought I was the only one who thought of Tolkien and sub-creativity while Metatron was uttering these words.

Every single time I walk into a bookstore I go to the Tolkien section for no particular reason. Feels like home.
Even though I own almost every book… Yep, I do that too. ^^

I had this odd dream last night I was at this pub having a heated discussion with some dude and he basically pissed me the hell off and left.
Somehow knowing he’d be back the next evening at the same pub and would be sitting at the same table, I proceeded then to write down on the very table this highly angry and wrathful come back response to him, managing to slip in chunks of text in...

…but I got through to the other side alive.
Got tickets for me and the beau to see John Mayer live on Sept 21st at Rock in Rio!!!
The website would crash ALL THE FUCKING TIME, I was already panicking, and rightly so given it was all sold out in a matter of a couple of hours. But I got them, I did it!!
It is indeed a dream come true, really. I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to...

does anybody else feel that, since the 1st Hobbit movie came out, there are a lot… A LOT more people (at least here on Tumblr) diving head on into The Silmarillion lately?

Assassin's Creed IV: Animi Training Program
I don’t know about you guys, but my personal view and headcanon for this ‘new’ interaction with the Animus is: we are, secretly, an Assassin agent posing as an Abstergo Industry’s employee to get access to the new Animus technology within the Templar Company.
And I actually hope this might be in fact the modern-day storyline Ubisoft is going for with this instalment.

Duel of Songs
art by ~Katarzyna Karina Chmiel-Gugulska
Thus befell the contest of Sauron and Felagund which is renowned. For Felagund strove with Sauron in songs of power, and the power of the King was very great; but Sauron had the mastery, as is told in the Lay of Leithian:
He chanted a song of wizardry,
Of piercing, opening, of treachery,
Revealing, uncovering, betraying.
Then sudden Felagund there...

The Origin of Orcs
One of the greatest mysteries in Tolkien’s writings refers to the origin of the Orcish race. After all, where could a race “bequeathed” with so much hatred from all – even from their own supposed masters – come from? The issue of the Orcs’ origin is a very sensitive topic. It is so delicate that even Tolkien himself could not achieve a final and precise conclusion on the subject. At least, he did...
