Allen and Unwin: no one will care about a text of mythological stories you made up.
Tolkien: hold my pipe.

I have spent most of today offline playing video games with my partner and managing anxiety as much as we can. But now I'm deep in research on this week's Hall of Fire article, and spending time in Middle Earth is always such a balm to my soul. #lunielle #tolkiensky
Late night writing this coming week's Hall of Fire post. In the middle of it, I paused and started writing the following week's as well! Power of ADHD? Too much caffeine? Who knows! But words are getting written and I'm getting ahead so I'm not complaining. #tolkiensky

Dreamy watercolor page featuring Arwen from Lord of the Rings in both portrait and full body. She is flanked by an ivy column and a sky of stars. Below her is a steaming teapot, bundle of lavender, and autumn leaves.
Teatime with Arwen Evenstar 🫖 Watercolor practice.

⚔️🌹 Tolkien Tuesday – The Shieldmaiden of the Mark 🌹⚔️ Éowyn has always been one of the rawest, most powerful characters in Middle-earth. She wasn’t born to be a warrior, she was born into a cage made of gold and expectations. A noblewoman told to smile, sing, and wait while the men rode to glory. And she said: nah, absolutely not. Éowyn is the quiet storm in the Golden Hall. The woman who trained in secret, who learned swordplay behind closed doors, who watched everyone she loved march into danger while she stayed behind with nothing but fear and fire in her heart. Her whole life has been loss and duty and longing for a different fate. So when war finally called her name? She didn’t hesitate. She rode straight into the Pelennor with a sword in her hand and death in front of her. That’s Smoulder energy to the core. Smoulder sounds like Éowyn’s heartbeat when she pulls off the helm. Epic doom riffs that feel like destiny cracking open. Trad metal melodies that hit like a war cry. Lyrics about rage, courage, sorrow, and women in armor refusing to be sidelined by anyone. King, Nazgûl, or prophecy. This isn’t soft fantasy. This is doom-soaked steel, sung with the kind of voice you hear right before a tyrant falls. Smoulder is the band Éowyn would blast while sharpening her blade in the dark, whispering, “I fear neither death nor pain.” She didn’t just break prophecy. She broke the damn mold. And Smoulder is the soundtrack to every step of that rebellion.
Éowyn x Smoulder
Tolkien Tuesday continues: Éowyn’s official metal band is Smoulder. Epic doom, trad metal, and pure shieldmaiden energy.
Perfect soundtrack for “no living man am I.”
⚔️🔥

I've Been doing a “Tolkien Tuesday” series over on Sounds of the Void, matching each member of the Fellowship of the Ring with what I perceive to be their favorite metal bands. Here’s the "official" lineup so far:

A silver Toyota RAV4 with a license plate LOTR143. There is an Elvish rune in the bottom-left window and a license plate holder that reads, “I’d rather be in Rivendell.”
Spotted in Burbank earlier this week by my spouse, who clearly knows me well.
