I’ve been reading and it seems that the fact that he was a devout Catholic was completely ignored

<:rubbetirub:550020519420755970>

Take the life of an über christian creator of beauty and turn him into generic soy-compliant food for leftards

Tolkien is truly an inspiration

He went through a lot and never yielded and inch

Waiting for the Mel Gibson version

_I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer._

I actually cry evry tiem

He was such a great author

It’s also very inspiring that he married his childhood love

Despite her being a proddie

Mel Gibson version of Tolkien
*the goblins were actually jews*

It's literally the dwarves

The dwarves are the jews at the time of Christ

The goblins are the jews afterwards

Greedy and isolationist and they really hate the tall blondes

Lollll gotcha

Yeah someone should convince Mel

Inb4 Jim Cavizel as Aragorn

and the orks are the niggers

King Theoden is eternal anglo

Hobbits are based welshmen

>Welsh
>Based

Mate, I don't know where you get your information from, but I think you'd better have a word.

The dwarvish language is based on hebrew too - jews confirmed

Hoard gold until they attract dragons...

yeah

and they specifically dont till the earth or grow any of their food, rely on their skill as merchants to get what they need

Incredibly unfriendly to outsiders. Tolkien said very few outsiders know the Dwarven tongue, and even then only bits and pieces

"Fathers would beg us to take their sons asapprentices, and pay us handsomely,especially in food-supplies, which we never bothered to grow or find for ourselves"

good point

"Petty-dwarves differed from normal Dwarves in various ways: they were smaller, far more unsociable, and they freely gave away their names: other Dwarves kept their Khuzdul names and language a secret. This may have been one of the reasons they were exiled."

Was trying to figure out how it would be remotely possible for Dwarves to maintain their community with no agricultural projects. Then I remembered Erebor and Lake Town

the chad tolkien vs the virgin GRRM

Remember that time the (((dwarves))) and elves worked together on a project and both sides wanted it so the (((dwarves))) janked the elf that helped them thus starting centuries of enmity between their races?

Of course, it's just a coincidence they keep being forced out of their homes and keep having to try to find new places to live

Always remember the six gorillion that died in the smaugocost

Smaugocost

Oh, if only.

So they're taking even more steps to remove themselves from the gene pool. That's very kind of them.
