I was told you guys might appreciate my cross stitch version of Rivendell
Spent the last year cross stitching this picture of Rivendell. I'd link to the pattern I used but I'm not sure if that's allowed here

Breakthrough moment with a hater
For years, my best friend has taken the mickey out of me for my love of anything (I say within reason) to do with lord of the rings. It was my obsession growing up.
I read the books, watched the movies a million times, collected the middle earth game from games workshop, built uruk-hair armour from scratch etc etc. I'm in my late 30s and have also started collecting the old toybiz figurines.
Anyway, for years, he's always trolled me about it and he finally sat down to watch the fellowship. The next day, I watched the two towers with him, and at the start of the movie, he's like "these movies are cool, I guess, but I don't get why you love lotr so much". Imagine my delight when he starts asking lore questions and getting really into my explanations about the world not explained in the movie (like origins and stuff).
Today was just the ultimate. We were out eating, and he said he can't wait to get back home so he can watch the 3rd.
Truly delightful. Worth the years of torment.
Had to share this great news with someone.
Thank you for reading my essay.

Middle Earth map headboard for bed
I thought I’d share this with you guys. I am making a custom headboard for my bed of the entire map
of middle earth. I drew out the entire map on my iPad in black and white, every detail being caught perfectly, I even counted every single tree. Then I drew items of interest in the lore of the story on top of the map and placed them on top.
I laser-cut the designs into a 4 x 5 foot sheet of pine. I chose pine because it’s a very hard wood and it won’t warp.
Then I stained the map with different shades of wood stain such as blonde wood stain, mahogany stain etc and varnished the entire thing. The varied stains also add to the antiquity of the map and make it feel ages and worn. The next step will be to shape the edges to the surrounding leaves and attach this sheet onto a reinforced backing sheet for the bed. Let me know what you guys think!

Arwen was originally supposed to fight alongside Aragorn at the Battle of Helm's Deep—and they actually filmed it!
According to the original screenplay and the scenes that were filmed, Arwen was an elf warrior who took part in the Battle of Helm's Deep. The photo I added is from that scene!
Honestly, I really appreciate that these scenes were completely removed from the final cut.

Finished reading the books to my kids this year, so showing them Two Towers for the first time. Theme food! Sam’s Coney Pasties (this time WITH taters), Gollum’s Forbidden Pool Salmon Canapés, Faramir’s Henneth Annûn Ranger Board, and some Fangorn Ent-Draught (I might have added some gin to mine…)

What is your favourite piece of music in the film "The Fellowship of the Ring" (2001).
Looking at the first film, what is your favourite piece of music?
Also, if you were to name a track from the OST like "The Bridge of Khazad-dûm", could you also name its Complete Recordings Equivalent (Balin's Tomb/Khazad-dûm) and vice versa?

Sackville-Baggins
Is this a name or other representation or does it mean “of Sackville”, Sackville being a place (somewhere in the shire I imagine!)?

Gandalf came out of retirement for America's 250th birthday
I had my 21st birthday party/july 4th party tonight (Lotr themed clearly lol) and my sister gave me the best gift of dressing up as Gandalf to light our fireworks. Needless to say, the other people in my neighborhood were both equally amused and confused.

Was Durin's Bane a threat to anyone outside Moria?
What would the Balrog have done if Gandalf had just boogied on out of Moria with the others and went on to defeat Sauron as in canon?
