Trewsday is the Hobbit name for Tuesday! Tolkien Trewsday is a community event across several online spaces: Twitter, BlueSky and now the Tolkien Society Discord server. Each week we form a fellowship to collectively post about a pre-selected theme about Tolkien (his works and his life) as well as adaptions, academic writing and creative stuff such as fanfic, fanart and cosplay. Themes are selected by myself (the organiser) and also via polls or guest hosts/curators. Together we will build a collective outpouring of creativity, knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien. The inspiration for this comes from the highly successful #FolkloreThursday which engaged lovers of Folklore, academics, artists and more to share their love of folklore. We only ask that if you are joining in, please do so with courtesy and kindness in your posts/tweets. This is a positive-action community event, open to all and supportive of fan diversity. Intolerance, racism, bigotry have no place here. Thank you! A new year means a new design! In 2025 the Two Trees remain symbolic but now Telperion (Silver Tree) has a sword trunk and Laurelin (Gold Tree) has a staff trunk.
๐งโโ๏ธ๐งต 2/ Letโs begin! This weekโs theme (Week 142) is โThe Great Warโ. Please use the following tags when you join in: #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien and #Tolkientober. You can tweet art, quotes, thoughts, blogs, academic work, reading recommendations, etc. ๐จ๏ธ
Big thank you to everyone who participated in #Tolkientober this year! There were so many wonderful creations that were a joy to see on the feed each day. I hope you all had a ton of fun and feel energized creatively โค๏ธ

I was too tired to do daily #tolkientober but...here is one last Bilbo! (and maybe next year I will be albe to finish whole series? :D )
Mais nan!
J'ai suivi le #Tolkientober sans mรชme remarquer le #Tolktober avec des thรจmes diffรฉrents !
How could I be such a fool of Took?
Je reposte les magnifiques illustrations qui en sont nรฉes...
I'm really proud of this finale piece, and proud that I managed to complete all 31 #Tolkientober prompts. Thanks to anyone who engaged with my writing over the past month!
Life kept me from completing #Tolkientober yesterday, but here it is today: my 31st and last piece for #tolkientober2025: Destruction
"They said Lรบthien tore down the fortress of Tol-in-Gaurhoth with mind and magic alone."
Enjoy the Fall of Dol Guldur!

A black and white illustration of the destruction of the One Ring. Frodo and Sam are on a rocky platform. They are scratched and injured, and their clothes are torn and dirty. Frodo is on his knees and he is clutching his bloodied right hand. Sam stands behind Frodo and has one hand on his shoulder. They are both looking at Gollum, who is falling into the fires of Mount Doom with the One Ring still in his hand.
#Tolkientober Day 31: Destruction
Frodo and Sam watch as Gollum falls into the fires of Mount Doom, the One Ring still in hand.
With the destruction of the Ring, Sauron is at last defeated. And so ends Tolkientober (even though Iโm quite late for this)!
elf sitting on rocks over water, one leg pulled up with arm resting on it, other hand covering a down turned head. bright sunset behind, colors fading out to gray down towards water
day 31 of #tolkientober "Destruction" Maglor moments after tossing in the last symbol of the oath that led to crumbling and severing of so many things. A history and an act that would also wither him as well.

A watercolor painting of white ships shaped like swans burning with orange fire against a dark sky and reflected in a dark sea
I actually tried the destruction painting this twice but wasnโt terribly happy with either one, but hey at least yesterdayโs werewolf was good lol #Tolkientober
#Tolkientober day 31: destruction
Then Feanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: "Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!โ Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Feanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri

Thรจme: DESTRUCTION
"Les cloches sonnaient dans le Val
Les hommes guettaient, le teint pรขle
Et le Dragon, sur leurs maisons
Abattit son ire brutale.
Le Mont fumait au clair de lune:
Adieu trรฉsor! Adieu Fortune!
Dehors les Nains, cruel destin,
Sont tombรฉs dans le clair de lune..."
I AM CAUGHT UP. Less than 200 words on Tumblr for #Tolkientober Day 30: Werewolf.
"Sauron had many names. But when Galadriel heard of him first, he was Lord of Werewolves. And so, in a sense, he had remained."

Ironically, I fell asleep last night a few sentences into #Tolkientober 28: Perseverance. But it's done and on Tumblr now!
"Nenya was cold on her fingerโbut not quite dead. Not yet. Dying, maybe."

โand Sauron filled with wrath and pride.
[โฆ]
Now there came slowly forth and glared
into the night a shape long-haired,
dank with poison, with awful eyes,
wolvish, ravenous; but there lies
a light therein more cruel and dread
than ever wolvish eyes had fed.โ

Les Wargs s'allient aux gobelins et parlent avec eux un langage que peut comprendre Gandalf.

day 29 #tolkientober "cultivate" - to further by labor, care, or study + to encourage
Cirdan built networks, taught pupils, and created fleets. Would have loved to see him when Elrond was under his wing

....Me just realizing I misspelled the #tolkientober hashtag on this when I went to use the post as a shortcut to see newest entries
For #Tolkientober 27: Libraries, I write tangentially about libraries but mostly about Galadriel and Elrond's millennia-long friendship.
"'Will you go, too?' heโd asked."
