Okay but I'm huge J.R.R Tolkien trash and gotta know if anyone else here is, I need more friends to gush over this stuff with. The Silmarillion, The hobbit (Book and moves), And the lord of the rings (books and movies).
I actually really wanna display as young Bilbo sometime if I ever have the money to make the costume,

Bump

I most certainly am, I love Tolkien's work and the Silmarillion is one of my favourite books. I love how he deals with themes of light and dark and of course, the elves

I'll admit, I am a big and huge Tolkien fan if you can't tell by my profile
I personally love how expensive and in depth his universe is with all the different languages and all the different beings. I fell in love with The Hobbit as a kid and I've been reading it to my own kid lately for his bedtime stories

I'm currently reading The Silmarillion and its absolutely amazing, the way he handles the story and the description of the world. Not to mention how detailed his world really is.
The various races and languages. Its beautiful.

The Hobbit is an amazing book, For some reason the story of young bilbo makes me so happy. But of course there's a lot more emotion to it than that, the book just makes you feel.

he is in my opinion easily one of my favorite authors

His writing can be a bit difficult to decode but he truly is talented at weaving a wonderful and mysterious world, I must say Mandos, Melkor, Manwe and Sauron are among my favourite fictional characters ever

J.R.R. Tolkien was an amassing writer, he was able to create one of the bigest most consistent worlds in all of fiction to date

Exactly, his creativity and the way he was able to even create his own languages for each race? Its amazing and his skill was just admirable even now.

If you really look deep into his beautiful world, you'll see that he developed extremely in depth histories of the Gods, Elves, wizards, and even Sauron himself. Personally my favorite part in his histories is when Celebrimbor created the rings and how Sauron deceived him.

Nothing in his books go or happen without a purpose which is just incredible to me.

Yes, I haven't quite reached that part yet in the Silmarillion but I'm excited to get to Sauron/Mairon. Melkor/Morgoth hough is by far my favorite villain so far in his history of middle-earth.

The Silmarillion was amazing! That was the last Tolkien book I read due to it's complex history
Honestly, I could talk about his world for hours and hours I am just baffled by this man's imagination and creativity

I absolutely adore it so far, I think the history of middle-earth is one of the most fascinating of the stories around that universe by far. I could probably go on and on about the world of middle-earth and the stories as well

Well there's something we both share
We should talk on PMs sometime!

Feel free to message me anytime!

J.R.R. Tolkien is my idol when it comes to writing, i rn am making a world for my stories and i have so much fun writing runes for different languages, but still need to Make the languages

I wish I had at least half of the talent he had, His writings are just beautifully done and there's more emotion to his storied than some people think. ❤ Tolkien is definitely an inspiration for me in many ways.

Fantasy Writers these days: Hm i cold make a original story.... NAAA i'll just rip off Tolkein!
