and sauron always comes into the story....
if i had a nickle for every time a pair in the middle earth legendarium defied a dark lord, saved each other by song, lost a limb, and got rescued by the eagles, i would have three nickles which isn't a lot but it's funny that two of the most queer-coded relationships get paralleled to tolkien's 'ultimate ideal of a romance' couple like this twice it happened thrice
Slayyyy šŖš„µš

My dear friends! Ā I also decided to make a collage with some of my works (new and old) and with me! Ā
To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardianās rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed heād forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying āif Iād known you hadnāt left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,ā then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancĆ©, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.
Happy Posthumous Birthday Christopher John Reuel Tolkien (1924 - 2020), who is the third & youngest son of the author J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973), as well as the editor of much of his father's posthumously published work. He drew the original maps for his father's #TheLordOfTheRings books, which he signed as C.J.R.T.
From a child, Christopher Tolkien had long been part of the critical audience for his father's fiction, such as listening to his fatherās tales of Bilbo Baggins, which were published as #TheHobbit. As a teenager and young adult, he offered a lot of feedback on āThe Lord of the Ringsā during its 15-year development. He also had the task of interpreting his father's sometimes self-contradictory maps of Middle-earth in order to produce the versions that were used in the books. He re-drew the main map in the late 1970ās to clarify the lettering and correct some errors and omissions.
J.R.R. Tolkien had written a large amount of material connected to the Middle-earth legendarium that was not published during his lifetime. He had originally intended to publish #TheSilmarillion along with āThe Lord of the Ringsā, and parts of it were in a finished state when he died in 1973; but the project was incomplete.
Once referring to his son Christopher as his "chief critic and collaborator", J.R.R. Tolkien had named Christopher his literary executor in his will. With this authority, Christopher organized the masses of his father's unpublished writings, some of which had been written on odd scraps of paper a half-century earlier. Much of the material was handwritten. Complicating matters, his father would sometimes write a newer draft over a half-erased first draft. Also, it was not uncommon for the names of characters routinely changing between the beginning and ending of the same draft.
Christopher worked on the manuscripts and was able to produce an edition of āThe Silmarillionā for publication in 1977. His assistant for part of the work was Guy Gavriel Kay, who became a noted fantasy author himself.
āThe Silmarillionā was followed by āUnfinished Talesā in 1980 and āThe History of Middle-earthā in 12 volumes between 1983 and 1996. Most of the original source-texts have been made public from which āThe Silmarillionā was constructed.
In April 2007, Christopher Tolkien published āThe Children of HĆŗrinā, whose story his father had brought to a relatively complete stage between 1951 and 1957 before abandoning it. This was one of J.R.R. Tolkien's earliest stories. Its first version dated back to 1918, and several versions were published in āThe Silmarillionā, āUnfinished Talesā, and āThe History of Middle-earthā.
āThe Children of HĆŗrinā is a synthesis of these and other sources. āBeren and LĆŗthienā is an editorial work and was published as a stand-alone book in 2017. The next year, āThe Fall of Gondolinā was published also as an editorial work. āThe Children of HĆŗrinā, āBeren and LĆŗthienā, and āThe Fall of Gondolinā make up the three "Great Tales" of the Elder Days, which J.R.R. Tolkien considered to be the biggest stories of the First Age.
Christopher served as chairman of the Tolkien Estate, Ltd., which was the entity formed to handle the business side of his father's literary legacy. He also served as a trustee of the Tolkien Charitable Trust until his retirement in 2018.
In 2001, Christopher expressed doubts over āThe Lord of the Ringsā film trilogy that was directed by Peter Jackson. He questioned the viability of a film interpretation that retained the essence of the work, but stressed that this was just his opinion. In 2008, he commenced legal proceedings against New Line Cinema, which he claimed owed his family Ā£80 million in unpaid royalties. In September, 2009, he and New Line reached an undisclosed settlement. He also withdrew his legal objection to āThe Hobbitā films. But, in a 2012 interview with āLe Mondeā, he criticised the films saying, "They gutted the book, making an action film for 15 to 25-year-olds."
