#Tolkientober day 15: precious

“[…] and maybe were the gold made hot again, the writing would be refreshed. But for my part I will risk no hurt to this thing: of all the works of Sauron the only fair. It is precious to me, though I buy it with great pain.”

#Tolkientober Day 16: Cozy

Busy day? Tiring week?

Not to worry! Feel free to wind down with Bilbo as he enjoys his (comically large) cup of tea. He’s even got his glasses on for reading a good book!

You must love this drink, I've decided now! 🎵

#vocaloid #miku #cigart

Colourful illustration of Hatsune Miku in the style of a print ad for 'PoPiPo - Vegetable Juice', inspired by the Lamaze-P song. The Kagamines, Meiko, Gakupo and Kaito are around her, enjoying the drink (or proud of farming it, in Kaito's case)

The text reads up top reads "It costs just 200 yen!" and below reads
"Popipo! Mellow and Creamy Vegetable Juice. Fresh from Sapporo, Japan!"

I realized it’s been a while since I properly introduced myself, so here goes:

I’m Marcel, I do curate, chat, organise, and write on all things Tolkienian, and I do it for all you lovely people with a love for Middle-earth.

Whether you’ve been here a while or just joined, I’m glad you’re here.
