Happy #TolkienTuesday everyone!
As promised, here is the #SDCC2024 Costume thread 🧵carried over.

Please feel free to retweet/share/tag our fellow artist/cosplayer moots who may interested.

There will be 4 parts (2 specifically for videos) each per character costume (totaling 8).

One day, I promise I will have the bandwidth to repost all the SDCC 2024 ROP costume pictures over here for my moots. Had to delete the original Twitter thread because I was afraid Grok was going to steal the designs and spit out bastardized AI version of them. Silly in hindsight I know 😅

Thank you so much to www.threads.com/@relics_of_a...
for reaching out and collaborating with us on this fundraiser! While this is a beautiful auction prize, it pales in comparison to seeing you and so many other #Tolkien artists/creatives work to help the families & people of Gaza ❤️✊🇵🇸

"And do you accept Ar-Pharazôn as Númenor's true ruler?"

Day 13 - Elendil: favourite moment, quote, etc (canon or trop)

This is the best Elendil scene, that's it. It's not only the final outburst against Pharazôn. Everything from that first doubt of a suffering man divided between what he rationally should do and what +

Happy #Tolkien Tuesday everyone! We had mentioned an auction back on our Hobbit Day announcement. And now we finally have our 1st item reveal: This gorgeous Rohan-inspired pendant graciously donated by Relics of Arda! It will be available to bid on in our Auction House on Tiltify 10/23 at 12am PST.

A handcrafted pendant by the Tolkien creative Relics of Arda. It is a silvery circular pendant inspired by Rohan. In the center, there are what looks to be horses moving in a clockwise pattern.

Not just you. He seemed nice though obviously living in his father’s shadow. When he courted Earian, it was also in a funny and non creepy way. The only signs of darkness was when he tried to blow up the ship to please Earian and maybe his father.

“the Silmaril went on and came to Eärendil. And you’ve got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you! Why, we’re in the same tale still! Don’t the great tales never end?”

An art piece of Lloyd Owen’s Elendil from The Rings of Power. He is holding a sword in both hands while dressed in his scaled white armor while wearing a blue cloak.

An art piece of Maxim Baldry’s Isildur from TROP. His face is bloody and he is holding a sword in both hands while dressed in a white scaled armor with a dark tunic over it.

Maxim Baldry’s Isildur kissing Nia Towle’s Estrid on the neck under a bright white moon. Estrid is wearing a circlet on her head and a cloak with the constellations on it.

What I adore most about autumn is that it makes it so easy to connect with the inner child! Catching falling leaves and taking in all the colours is a kind of magic that reminds me of childhood and seeing wonder everywhere. I spent so long just playing under the golden leaves today. 💛🍂✨️

Golden autumnal maple tree photographed from below. Completely blue skies.

A gravel path and trees in golden autumn hues. The golden trees are reflected on the surface of a large puddle of water. Lots of fallen leaves. Clear blue sky.

“…another of the film’s strengths: it is very, very funny. Without ever punching down…”

YES!! Yes this. Ron’s comic timing is perfect and he knows when to make it so we’re laughing with him, and when to make it so we’re taking him and the situation seriously. It’s excellent acting.

"Sweet, funny, and unusually moving."
