There's a communal rewatch starting this Friday!

Me right now, getting excited at this part of The Treason of Isengard:

Playing the villain in a play (female Don John in Much Ado About Nothing), and in light of the tropsky timeline, tonight's performance, more than ever, is dedicated to Sauron.

The History of The Lord of the Rings vol. II: So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into Hobbiton

Her name is Rey, but she has the personality of Grogu

It's Éowyn and Galadriel Meet Day! 🎉

It's Rey's 10th (!!!) adoptiversary today!

Getting all nerdy up in the workplace

This is what I used for my sci fi class

So I keep working little bits into things like this upcoming Reforged flashback

Beautiful new mantel decoration

Just thinking about Brendan Fraser and his sons, Maedhros and Maglor.
