I try not to see, but my eyes are already closed. I am dreaming a child, covered in dirt and blood. He is speaking a language I don't understand, but I know he is saying, "My mama, my mama." He cannot say his name. No-one will ever call him by his name again. #CeasefireInGazaNOW

This. This scene is how you know Rings of Power really read and listened to the master. To make something so new and unexpected, yet utterly in accordance with the canon. For me perhaps the pivotal moment of the whole first season. & don't forget who is in the shadows, listening.

Her Lindon dress is also strongly reminiscent of pre-Raphaelite styling, here compared with Waterhouse's Ophelia. Though subtle, there is heavy embroidery detail at the sleeves and dropped waistline of Galadriel's golden gown.

It seems clear Galadriel's Nùmenor dress was inspired by Edward Burne-Jones' painting 'The Wedding of Psyche'. Psyche = 'soul', the passive and long-suffering wife of Cupid. It feels rather subversive for this dress in particular to be used for one of her most active fight scenes

We know RoP teases out certain ideas that Tolkien didn't look at in detail (eg in LOTR G could read S's mind) to legitimately play with. I get the feeling a lot of objection comes from PJ film lovers (& their canon is very different).

I just want to say that I've shilled for Rings of Power for over six months now and I still haven't received my shill fee (shilling?) Not even so much as a kit kat.

@mervatim 😆 That brings back some memories! My sons are only 16 months apart and they got up to some weird shit, though it was the older one who was prone to nose bleeds. Once the wee one clambered into my bed at first light and whispered "Blood. Blood everywhere. I think D's dead."

So proud to have this poem published in @blackboughpoems 's brand new winter anthology. And did Tolkien's golden and silver light, from the trees Laurelin and Telperion, influence my imagery here? Why, yes they did #TolkienTrewsday #Light

Driving up the spine of Scotland listening to @bearmccreary Rings of Power s1 soundtrack - and reaching Glen Coe under a sky of mist and pearl just as the instrumental version of Where the Shadows Lie comes on - must be one of the most sublime experiences of the modern world

@silverpebble Dear algorithm, please show Emma this water avens (Geum rivale) - a mad little spring forerunner blooming last week in the west of Scotland. I love its subtle colours - always a pleasure to spot one.

@mossimushies I'd fully go Jaheira if I had another girl, and Raphael is perfectly normal. But I do wonder if we're going to see some little Gales and Laezels before too long.

@beetlevalentine Yes. It's no accident so many of us are drawn to Loviatar and her Pain. The idea of pain having purpose is fascinating to me, and profoundly satisfying.

@Joannechocolat I don't know why they aren't bothered by the fact that the people they 'need' to protect us from are themselves. I mean, there aren't that many dire wolves, saber tooth tigers or polar bears roaming the streets. Just men.

The character who saved my life. When reading LOTR at a very difficult time in my life, Eowyn gave me strength and hope, and a model I could live by when I felt incredibly strongly that there was no place for me in the world, and everyone would be better off without me.

@TolkienSociety Here are my precious LOTR 1970s editions. I inherited them from my grandparents, but they're too fragile to read so I have reading copies (2005) too. I first read Merry and Pippin in Fangorn while pretending chocolate buttons were lembas. These days it's lem(on)bas melts.

@theunquietbard "Cousin." Who is the monster in this pairing? We've seen Feud Rautha at his worst. We cannot yet imagine (or accept) what Paul is about to become. It's appropriate to see in this scene how strongly they identify and empathise with one another. Great acting.

It's #Elrondday and I'm going to be celebrating other people's art (since I'm no artist myself) about this most beloved of book, film, TV and game characters. I fell in love with Elrond Half-elven 'kind as summer' when I was 6 and have never quite recovered. Artist Ryan Yee.

@DaveJonesActor @rsmoushall This is the most insidious part, isn't it? And unlike we ordinary folk, who can block and run, you can't simply walk away. Please look after yourself, Dave. It's a nasty business.

@FellowshipFans So many. So many. But I cannot trump the sheer badassery of Finrod Felagund taking on the Great Deceiver himself in a mighty song battle (Lay of Leithian). I would pay good money for that stage show!
