I love the fact
That the Hobbit/lotr fandom seem to TOTALLY have no idea about /ignores what Tolkien officially said about elf sex.
Spent the last few hours on The LOTR wiki, and I found this, it’s the map of middle earth showing the spread of evil
“Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold,
To Dungeons Deep and Caverns Old,
The Pines were Roaring on The Heights,
The Winds were Moaning in the Night,
The Fire was Red, it Flaming Spread,
The Trees Like Torches Blazed with Light.”
Stop whatever you're doing and check this out: the complete Lord Of The Rings family tree
This complete family tree of all the creatures in Tolkien’s world was idealized and created by Emil Johansson (click here to view his incredible tumblr with statistics about LOTR) and includes 646 characters so far. Let’s support him!
Announcing The Middle-earth March Madness Tournament!
In the US, tournament frenzy hits every March with the onset of the NCAA’s Men’s Basketball March Madness tournament. We thought this year would be a good opportunity for the entire Tolkien community to participate in a special tournament of our own. So without further delay we are announcing the Middle-earth Madness Tournament! The goal is to settle, once and for all, which character is favored most by Tolkien fans worldwide. To start off the process, the staff at TheOneRing.net compiled a list of 46 finalists. We need to weed this list down to 32 total contestants. To do that, we are going to ask you to vote for up to three characters in the poll below. Voting will be open until Feb 29th at Noon ET. We will then compile the results and create our tournament bracket with seeding based on total votes. It should be noted, much like the men’s basketball tournament in, our Middle-earth Madness selection committee does reserve the right to adjust results a bit in the spirit of competition. (and like the men’s basketball committee, some of the decisions are sure to be controversial!!) So without further delay, let the voting begin!
