one of my favorite lotr facts is that gondorians speak sindarin as a first language and yet when faramir was talking to frodo and sam about cirith ungol he was like “we don’t know what’s in there.” like faramir. cirith ungol is sindarin for “pass of the spider.” do the math

#back in minas tirith    #faramir: okay if you don’t mind saying i’ve always wanted to know what metaphor ‘spider’ represents    #sam: what    #faramir: obviously something terrible is there. it’s literally called pass of the spider! but what IS the spider?    #sam: it’s um    #a spider    (via anghraine)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILBO BAGGINS. AND FRODO!!

I would kill to see this version of the Hobbit. Or just pay someone to draw it like a sane person

Bonus points for Bilbo’s sandwich reflecting the fact that Tolkien didn’t give one solitary shit about the Columbian Exchange getting in the way of cuisine in his fantasy proto-Europe. (See: PO-TAY-TOES)

After a long wait

for a beloved friend from
the Halls of Mandos.

Встреча после долгого-долгого ожидания любимого друга из Чертогов. Когда и слов нет, и все как-то неловко, но…снова рядом. Уже навсегда.
