A two-panel meme featuring a reaction image of a hobbit from The Lord of the Rings. In the first panel, the hobbit looks neutral or unimpressed, next to an image of the city of Tirion upon Túna from The Silmarillion, with the text "Tirion upon Túna." In the second panel, the hobbit is smiling happily, next to an image of Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones standing on top of a tuna fish, with the text "Tyrion upon Tuna." The meme plays on the phonetic similarity between "Tirion upon Túna" (the Elven city in Tolkien’s legendarium) and "Tyrion upon Tuna" (a humorous reimagining with the Game of Thrones character).

🧵/5 🏔️ Finally, I’m just going to end with this meme. IYKYK.

A hardcover copy of Flora of Middle-earth: Plants of J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium by Walter S. Judd and Graham A. Judd stands upright on a wooden shelf. The book cover features an illustration of tall, white trees with golden leaves and a small group of cloaked figures sitting among green foliage. In the background, shelves filled with other Tolkien-related books are partially visible.

As someone who’s been influenced by Shawn’s word-nerdy ways, I can’t help but laugh—because he’s also the reason I picked up Flora of Middle-earth by Walter S. Judd & Graham A. Judd. 📖
