I actually still remember her from state visit to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, in 2015. Since she is an artist with personal interests and skills in visual art, fashion, and textiles, she showed a great interest in local batik craftmanship. 📷: Johannes Jansson, Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images

@tolkiendil.bsky.social N'allez pas me dire que Tolkien dédaignait les personnages féminins! Pour vous convaincre, suivez l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday ) du mardi 27 octobre consacré aux 👸REINES👸 Et vous pourrez poster citations, illustrations et réflexions sur: 👸Elbereth, reine des Valar⤵️

"long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word" Queen Melian having that awkward first date nothing to say moment with Thingol #TolkienTrewday Queens #Silmarillion Kip Rasmussen art @timbolton.bsky.social

Ecthelion of the Fountain. Here he is with pal Glorfindel and not so much of a pal Gothmog. Wonderful art by @jennydolfen.bsky.social “Lords of Gondolin” #TolkienTrewsday #Tolkien #Silmarillion @timbolton.bsky.social

Finally found a reasonably priced LP of Christopher Tolkien reading Of The Darkening of Valinor & Of The Flight of the Noldor which I've had on cassette for years. Someone classed this as Sci Fi ! The Tolkien related record collection has grown again #Tolkien #LOTR #TheHobbit #Silmarillion

@tolkiendil.bsky.social La Terre du Milieu n’est pas seulement vaste : elle est profonde de plusieurs strates temporelles à chaque fois réactivées par des LIEUX DE MEMOIRE. Pour cet #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday), découvrez que cette notion fondamentale s’applique à l’oeuvre de Tolkien.⤵️

For #TolkienTrewsday theme of "bows", I present the Beautiful Bare-chested Brown Bard aiming his arrow at green Smaug from the 1979 cover of Indonesian The Hobbit, drawn by Setyo Sudhiarto. Translated by A. Adiwiyoto, it used "orang bajang" for Dwarves instead of "kurcaci" like in the new version.

Plenty of "Bows" and arrows on display if you zoom in on Joan Wyatt's painting of The Balrog. His face reminds me of one of thos Chinese Dragons used in street celebrations. #LOTR #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday @timbolton.bsky.social

Not sure Mrs W would approve but I quite fancy reclining on an Arwen @thetolkienist.com #LOTR #Tolkien

Aqcuired another poster. Had never seen this before. 1974 Hobbit art by Rob Brown and Ken Sanders. Pen and ink drawing. Created using cross hatching. I think that's the term, maybe somebody artistic will know the correct term @joelmerriner.bsky.social #Tolkien #TheHobbit

🧙‍♂️ The Hobbit films evoke various reactions from fans, but for me the final song of the series, "The Last Goodbye" sung by Billy Boyd, is perfection - goodbye to the lost and friends who remain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ir... #TolkienTrewsday 📆 Week 188 (29/09/26): “Journey’s end” #Tolkien

@tolkiendil.bsky.social #ArbrediTolkien #TolkienTrewsday Thème : LA FIN DU VOYAGE

Journey's End. Sam Says Farewell by Joan Wyatt. Find this painting really captures the mood of the moment. #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday @timbolton.bsky.social

🧙‍♂️ #TolkienTrewsday 📆 Week 188 (29/09/26): “Journey’s end” Frodo, Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel leave Middle-earth on the White Ship on 29 September T.A. 3021. #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Journey's End by Tudor Mint. Here's Bilbo writing There and Back Again in front of his fireplace. If you look closely you can see Sting and his Mithril shirt on the table #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday #TheHobbit @timbolton.bsky.social

@tolkiendil.bsky.social Joyeux #HobbitDay à tous! et c'est aussi le jour de l' #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday )! Grasse matinée et deuxième petit déjeuner pour tous! A cette occasion, pour célébrer le thème : JE SUIS EN FAIT UN HOBBIT, je fais ce fil que j'alimenterai toute la semaine!🔽

September is #Tolkien month. Today is #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday and #hobbitday with #hobbitday2026! 🧙‍♂️

"I am in fact a Hobbit" Various depictions of Gollum on film. From the #RalphBakshi #LOTR, Soviet #TheHobbit, Rankin Bass Hobbit & #PeterJackson Lord of the Rings @timbolton.bsky.social

Hey @middle-earthents.bsky.social we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary next month with a marathon livestream - would love to have you join us for a bit to talk about what you’ve been up to for those 20 years, and now! www.tolkienguide.com/TG20

@tolkiendil.bsky.social « Pour moi, les villes du Silmarillion ont plus de réalité que Babylone » déclare Christopher à l’égard de son père. Pour cet #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday ) consacré aux ROYAUMES CACHÉS, partons avec Tuor à la découverte de Gondolin.⤵️

Happy Silmarillion publishing birthday, 49 years ago today. Which means next year will be the 50th anniversary. Maybe we should celebrate that too! Pre-order your 2027 Beyond Bree Silmarillion Calendar today. beyondbree.org Featuring "Ancalagon the Black" by @khorazir.bsky.social

🧙‍♂️ #TolkienTrewsday 📆 Week 186 (15/09/26): “Dreaming Spires” Early-mid September has traditionally been when #Oxonmoot is hosted by the #TolkienSociety @tolkiensociety.org in Oxford. To celebrate this, the theme this week is about the city of Dreaming Spires! #TolkienMonth #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien

Tolkien in Oxford was a #BBC documentary first aired in 1968. Still avaialable on the BBC archive and well worth a watch. His hat reminds me of Sam's "he had put on his head a tall shapeless felt bag, which he called a hat" "Dreaming Spires" #TolkienTrewsday @timbolton.bsky.social

I'd never seen this documentary before on the #Tolkien art of Paul Raymond Gregory. Have a poster of his Caradhras painting. Some of the frames are quite spectacular. You have to ignore some of the major inaccuracies in the narration around the stories but otherwise very interesting #LOTR #TheHobbit

Dès les années 60, une jeunesse contestataire brandit Tolkien (qui s'étonne de "ce culte déplorable") comme un étendard de la contre-culture. La musique de l'époque s'en fait l'écho:⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UKX...

For 40+ years I've been a fan of the books, audio adaptations, films, art, merchanise, games ............. #Tolkien #LOTR #TheHobbit #TolkienTrewsday "Tolkien's Fans" @timbolton.bsky.social

Son premier malheur sera la mort de ses parents, Drogo Bessac et Primula née Brandibouc, noyés dans des circonstances étranges qui n’ont pas fini de susciter les spéculations malveillantes des Hobbits. Il rappelle les orphelins que sont Tolkien et Bilbo.⤵️

#TolkienTrewsday Week 184: Death Out of all the depictions of Boromir’s death, I have a particular soft spot for Ryuichi Terashima’s illustration from the Japanese edition of The Two Towers. Here, the fallen Boromir, redeemed and at peace, makes one final journey down the falls of Rauros.

Letter from Joy Hill to Mr Abetts about #Tolkien's Death @roadshowpbs.bsky.social 2022 episode www.tolkienguide.com/guide/letter... #TolkienTrewsday

"All dead, all rotten. Elves and Men and Orcs. The Dead Marshes" #LOTR Tolkien wrote in letter 226 "Dead Marshes owed something to Northern France after the Battle of the Somme" Joan Wyatt's eerie painting of The Dead Marshes #TolkienTrewsday Death #Tolkien @timbolton.bsky.social

Dear Lobelia, having a terrific time in the Goblin caves. Wish you were here! You need to send postcards when you going on a Hobbit's holiday, There and Back Again #Tolkien #TheHobbit #LOTR

@tolkiendil.bsky.social «Et le feu intérieur des Silmarils,Fëanor le composa de la lumière entremêlée des Arbres du Valinor,qui vit encore en eux,bien que les Arbres se soient desséchés depuis longtemps et ne brillent plus»(Silm,7) Voici l’ #ArbrediTolkien ( #TolkienTrewsday) sur les 💎SILMARILS💎⤵️

For #TolkienTrewsday theme of the Silmarils, I wrote about how a sacred weapon featured in Pararaton, a semi-legendary chronicle of Javanese monarchs, shows a unique parallel with the nature of the Silmarils. #TolkienTuesday #Tolkien #Silmarillion putri2wotan.wordpress.com/2020/12/24/g...

"But the Silmarils in the crown on Morgoth's head blasted forth suddenly with a radiance of white flame" Always found this image of Morgoth quite disconcerting Great bit of art of Luthien as Thuringwethil before Morgoth by Lidia Postma @timbolton.bsky.social #TolkienTrewsday #Silmarillion #Tolkien
