When we are talking being honourable to Tolkien, if you are going to do Aragorn's crown, it needs to be like this (below) since this is what Tolkien drew when asked what it looked like. Nothing else will do - if you demand accuracy to Tolkien. And NO beard on Aragorn.

#RespectForTolkien Let us be clear, respect for Tolkien is being polite, kind and supportive of fellow fans - no matter what they like (or don't). Tolkien was a quiet man who spent hours writing back to fans, even when queries would frustrate him. He was a decent man. [More] 1/

When someone tells you the actors for #TheRingsofPower never show any respect for #Tolkien or his works in interviews, querying if they have even read the books, remind them of this: 1/2

I'll tweet more focus thoughts on #TheRingsOfPower @LOTRonPrime tonight or over the weekend, but I just want to say one (non-spoilery) thing: the Harfoots were consistently awesome, very much the heart of Middle-earth. Naysayers can sink with Numenor. #Tolkien

Useful #Tolkien quote #TheRingsOfPower @LOTRonPrime : Regarding Gandalf (Olórin) in pre-Third Age Middle-earth, JRR Tolkien says it is likely -

Decided to unfollow the Producer of the War of the Rohirrim, just felt their account was totally unprofessional and was not impressed with their most recent RoP comments. Hope their Anime goes well, but won't miss the weird tweets.

#Tolkien community... if there was one story from the 1st Age of Middle-earth you would see adapted (into film, TV, play, graphic novel, etc), what would it be? Mine would be the Tale of Beren and Luthien. #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday (Week 16: Stories from the Past)

One of the things I do find "interesting" on the part of people who hate things like TRoP, is how much they try to make others hate it too. Like 7 months on they still want to argue with fans, who obviously enjoyed the show (and can still assess it critically whilst positively).

🚨 This account engages with RoP-friendly fans to belittle and gatekeep. Sure, knows her lore but is fixed on the fact everything must be followed exactly. 4 fans (incl me) have engaged in good faith, end result she returns to name-calling and gaslighting. Recommend avoid/block.

🚨 WORLD EXCLUSIVE! First set photo of Tom Bombadil in the Entwives' gardens where he'll meet Poppy & Malva to learn the joys of 🪴 potted plants and shrubbery 🌳. Amazon fans, dubbed "shills" by the unintelligentizia, exclaimed, "Show us the Monet!" upon seeing the photo.

Just to note a few things: 1) this overinflated-ego of account doesn't speak for anyone besides themselves. 2) He claims he "heard" - no, he's stalking various good people. The man is obsessed with anyone who associated in any way with Rings of Power. 1/

🚨 I am going to have to go through my followers again, it appears white supremacists are following me – there is a network of them, linking back to other toxic fans who abused people and societies I am linked with. I will not tolerate that. 1/

Though this notice is going out to the wider #Tolkien community, I want to also bring it to the attention of some accounts who may not know details and you interacted with one of the accounts: @VarkingRunesong , @OnTheTrail81 & @TeawithTolkien (they respond on your tweets a lot)

I see #RespectforTolkien people tried to hijack #TolkienTrewsday this week. Let me address the people on the periphery of all this: the leaders of this "movement" are running a cult pushing a fake culture war no one really cares for. 1/

Hi @LOTRonPrime , we were hoping now you have completed your Season 2 filming you'd be quite handy with the marketing asap. Your hands on approach last time was much appreciated so you need to keep your finger on the pulse and give us a pleasant handshake. Ok? ✋🏼✋️✋🏾
