I am just reposting this don’t mind me

Have you ever wished there was a comprehensive, easy access resource of Every Tolkien Character Ever? Look no further! Now presenting:

The Tolkien Legendarium Characters Masterdoc!

compiled by @arofili, @ambrorussa aka @welcometolotr, @jaz-the-bard, and @fingons-rad-harp, this spreadsheet contains - to the best of our ability - ALL 1100+ characters that Tolkien incorporated into (or considered for) his Legendarium! this resource is open to the public for perusal and use in your fan projects of all kinds, though its creators are fanfiction writers and we organized the doc with our craft in mind.

we have organized this database by character race/species and Age. each character has attached information on their name(s), cultural/familial affiliation(s), life dates (when known), associated places, textual source, Ages/timeframe of activity, gender, relative canonicity, and brief pertinent information - as well as a link to their page on Tolkien Gateway (our main source) where you can continue your research on any character you choose.

characters of ALL levels of canonicity are represented in this sheet. that includes the wacky, wild stuff from the Book of Lost Tales, as well as Frodo himself! our designations of “how canon” a character is are inherently subjective, and you are free to disagree with our rankings; with this categorization we hoped to give people an idea of what to expect upon exploring the characters yourselves. please consult our Key for information on how we made these decisions. this document is a jumping-off point for your own research!

if there’s something you’d like to sort for that we didn’t provide, you are free to make a copy and reorganize the spreadsheet however you would like. (however, we do ask that you only redistribute the original sheet.)

this sheet includes characters from every text written by Tolkien that we could find information about on Tolkien Gateway. we are only human, and are thus likely to have made some mistakes or missed some characters - if you think that’s the case, please let us know so we can update the document!

if you think there is a character missing, or you would like something added/redacted/altered, contact the sheet owner @arofili on tumblr or annaquenta#6263 on discord and we will consider your request.

in addition to Tolkien’s own characters, we have included some characters who only appeared in Peter Jackson’s film trilogy adaptations. we are open to including characters from other adaptations, but we weren’t familiar enough with those to add them to the document. if you desperately want to see an adaptation-only character in the document, let us know!

we hope this resource is helpful for Tolkien fans of all kinds in learning more about his characters both weird and wonderful! happy headcanoning!

Geraskier and Bagginshield

The parallels of gerskier and Bagginshield is UNPRECEDENTED.

You have tall stoic buff men that are not to kind to their love interest and at one point explode on them and say some dumb shit to them but probably regrets it but can't say it becaurse they're emotionaly stunted.

Then we have sassy not as buff but still kick ass just in another way men. They are sass. They love their idoitic buffoons. Their love interest does something to wrong them but they still come back. They are secretly in love.

PLEASE CAN'T YOU GUYS SEE I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SAME SHIT SHIP

But ok they are still differnt in other ways. Ispecialy between Jaskier & Bilbo. But Throin & Geralt are pretty simuler I'm not going to lie.

Omg that sound really fucking fun.

god i wanna go to an angsty teen party in london in 1989 where they blast the stone roses on vinyl and all the windows are open and its a warm summer night and everyone's talking about going to that up-and-coming band blur's gig tomorrow night

Soooooooouuuuup

Reading Fanfic vs Books speed

I just realized while reading Sansûkh by determamfidd that I just read over the half way point of the fanfic. Half the fanfic has more words than Order of the Phoenix. The whole fanfic is probably more than half than the whole entire Harry Potter series. But here is the thing that baffels me. It took me around 10 days to read Order of the Phoenix but 2 days for me to read over the halfway point of Sansûkh.

WTF
