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.
The detail of the horse heads, the singularity of the pommel, the filigrees, the Nordic-inspired blade.... It's one of those designs that always haunts my mind, and, despite it being a challenge, I felt it was a natural next step in my leather carving and moulding skills. It's been six months of slow progress in my free time, but I couldn't be happier with the result
"The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth Èorlingas!"
As emblematic as Narsil or Sting, and just as tied to its bearer, is Herugrim, the sword of the king of Rohan Théoden. And, for me, one of the most beautiful works of forge and blacksmithing ever designed
I don't normally post in progress pics to my grid but getting to the last page feels momentous.

I’m always delighted by Finnish artists. And this is perfect bc Tolkien owed so much to the Kalevala

No, this little door is not in the Shire. We're in Giardini Margherita in Bologna. This little hut is a reconstruction of a Villanovian dwelling. The Villanovians (900-550 BCE) are the first Etruscan inhabitants of the Bologna we know today. This is probably also the only house in Bologna that AirB&B don't have their grubby little hands on... yet.

‘You’re arrested for Gate-breaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gate-keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food.’
'And what else?’ said Frodo.
‘That’ll do to go on with,’ said the Shirriff-leader.
‘I can add some more, if you’d like it,’ said Sam. ‘Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-fools.’
#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 !

@dbattistella@mstdn.caIf 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
@tsupasat@infosec.exchangeAs a #LOTR fan, it's incredibly annoying that Peter Thiel's terrible techno-police-state companies are named after Westernese artifacts and other names borrowed from Tolkien's lore. There's Palantir, which makes population surveillance tech, and Andruil, which is building the ED-209 "peace-keeping machine" from Robocop. Then there are Valar Ventures and Mithril Capital.
Dude, Tolkien was against everything you stand for! I feel like #Tolkien did when the Nazis started appropriating Germanic mythology and the Ring Cycle.

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.
My spouse was watching a clip from House of David tonight.
I looked up at the screen, saw men in robes with long hair and beards, and thought it was some sort of Lord of the Rings spinoff.
It was not, but I’m still sticking to my original assumption that they’re all wizards.
