the ocean was filled with ancient intelligent souls and we carved them up for their organs and we filled the seas with so much violence and noise that they can no longer hear each other's voices. this is a cosmic horror story and we are the incomprehensible terror from beyond.

What a moment! Durin giving Old Stinky the stinkeye. I love Annatar when he's quietly furious (even though his retribution will be terrible).

This is a good, serious question about Charlie E's inspiration for playing Celebrimbor, but may I please take a moment to say that there are three of the sexiest guys in TV sitting on that sofa? 😉 🥰

Oh my gosh!!! The incredibly talented Ly drew my Nerdist interview with Morfydd and Sam and turned it into Galadriel and Adar! I am deeply touched. It's so beautiful! #TheRingsOfPower

So impressed with this small hay bailing approach for roadside verges. This helps remove nutrients deposited from vehicles & promotes plant diversity. Never seen it before let’s do it more! National Highways Joshua Styles

Damrod!

Why don’t people in fandom understand that there isn’t a “right take” when it comes to analysis of a character? Different people bring different interpretations to the table and all good-faith takes should be welcome and open for discussion.

"I will serve." And he did. He did. The measure of a man.

This (pic) is the response of one of your Forbes journalists to a Rings of Power fan whose opinion differs from his. I'm appalled that you employ a person who would speak in this way to any human being. I believe he made sure to include you in his reply. Very unprofessional.

You should all thank Naomi for this moment from a few weeks ago, and for giving this chocolate Celebrim-bar to Charles Edwards, showing him just how much the fandom appreciates and loves his performance as Celebrimbor.

Next week’s challenge is good! Write a poem that includes an original term of venery— invented by you! A name used for groups of animals (a murder of crows, a pride of lions, etc). 80 words max, a real focus on imagery, metaphor, a weird simile! Our host - Kip Knott

Then, our attention was specifically drawn to his left hand as he touched his face, showing he had nothing in it. But after he said, "Look around you," the dagger appeared in that same hand. When he didn't want it to be seen, he concealed it like Celebrimbor's creasing hammer.

Shadowfax *nods firmly* I think we can all agree

On 21 September 1937: J.R.R. #Tolkien's The Hobbit was published. The book tells of a hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, and his journey with thirteen dwarves to recover their treasure from a dragon, Smaug. It's sold over 100 million copies as one of the best-selling books of all time

This quote has just made me think: was Gandalf's fall in Moria a deliberate foreshadowing of the Witch King's fall? (9 cut to 8) If we were watching the 3rd Age Show for the first time, but with full knowledge of Tolkien's style, would we now be arguing over this interpretation?

My friend Rhona Greene is part of iambapoet wave 19. Listen to three of her poems here I'm enraptured by the joyous dark-and-light of Shiny Distant Thing iambapoet.com/wave/19-rhona-…

The moment in S1 when Halbrand pulls off the pouch and drops it in front of Galadriel. We thought then: rejecting her plan. But now we know removing the pouch is Sauron rejecting the attempt to be 'good'. Picking it up is committing to Diarmuid's advice: one day at a time.
