Why are you people all so blatantly dishonest? There are dark elves in multiple works of fiction, with Pirotess from "Record of Lodoss War" and Yao from "Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There" being just two examples. Tolkien, however, isn't one of those cases. It's that simple. 😒 https://t.co/qDuKy8emao

‘He told them tales of bees and flowers, the ways of trees, and the strange creatures of the Forest…things friendly and things unfriendly, cruel things and kind things, and secrets hidden under brambles.’ J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings.

I've got books. I'm good.

Heck this is where all those fantasy novels that get heavily inspired by Tolkien, DnD, and Isekai Light Novels come in really handy.

I'm so excited to share this beautiful piece of art of Elrond and Elros as children, by

"The infants were not slain, but left like 'babes in the wood', in a cave with a fall of water over the entrance."

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."

🦦 Tolkien, using Animalic, possibly assumed (or was given) the name "Otter". Written under the title of his notebook, the "Book of the Foxrook", was "Esperanto Privata al LUTTRO" ("Private to Otter"). 🧵5/

tolkien, gandalf karakterini yaratırken, eski bir alman kartpostalından (der berggeist) etkilenmiştir. filmden çok önce yapılan çizimlerde, ayrıca hobbit ve lotr animasyonlarında gandalf hep beyaz sakallı, gri cübbeli, mavi pelerin ve şapkadır. filmde de bu tasvir kullanılır.

‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,' said Frodo.
'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’

—Gandalf✨

"Elves still at times are seen: present and yet remote, a living vision of that which has already been left far behind by the flowing streams of Time."

-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Many fantasy stories are inexplicably concerned with a "balance" between good and evil that must be maintained. I'm assuming this comes from some kind of eastern philosophy, and not the sort of fantasy informed by Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, or even Robert E. Howard. 1/2

The Witch Lord. If Voldemort was actually scary and managed to dominate the entire world and not just a boarding school. One of the villains of Aeres, a servant of the oldest evil. If you follow Tolkien, he's Sauron in the Morgoth -> Sauron -> Saruman procession.

Personal work.
Here's an ancient one of mine, from about 21 years ago, when I was still getting to grips with Photoshop. There's all sorts of influences in there. Tolkien, Anglo-Saxon myth, Transformers, Teletubbies, you name it.
