It Was 20 Years Ago (ish) :: Empire Magazine Publishes The Lord Of The Rings: A Celebration, A Special

When the teacher says “the bell doesn’t dismiss you, I do.”

My favorite Tolkien illustrations by Cor Blok in no particular order:

Bilbo and Gollum. Bilbo is the moon for some reason which is cool i guess

Smeagol and Deagol. I love the seaweed in the background, great attention to detail

Frodo serving Robin Hood-realness at his and Bilbo’s birthday party. Literally iconic

Isildur taking the ring from Sauron. Its great but I would like to see more of Sauron than just his hand, because I think he has the potential to look really cool

Pippin jumping into the bath at Crickhollow… no comment

Bilbo gives the Mithril coat to Frodo. Great poses, very stiff and awkward. I like it.

The fellowship. This one is a classic.

Gandalf and the balrog. Amazing

Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo. I love the way he reaches for his sword, it looks very natural

Merry and Pippin and Treebeard. I like his legs and the fact that it looks like he’s wearing shorts.

like these morons cannot put two and two together. ask yourself why a conservative would want to restrict what a teacher does. well what does a teacher do. teach. now why would conservatives want to control what people are taught. well,

the borgias / moments of being, 'a sketch of the past', virginia woolf / dune (2021) dir. denis villeneuve / house of the dragon / sisters, daisy johnson / we are missing a present; the butterfly’s burden: selected poems, mahmoud darwish / cynthia ozik / my name is memory, ann brashares / the piano teacher, elfriede jelinek

You cannot say that a top grossing artist is "feral" or making you "feral." You are listening to the Billboard Top 40. You are very domesticated.

not to get political but im begging you guys to stop coming to hawaii. in maui theyre asking to put a 'pause' on flights bc we literally do not have enough room or staff to service you. the roads are so full that its causing a major backup when ppl need to get to work.

on top of this, i heard that by September? theyre expecting to get rid of the mask rule (if 70% of ppl are vaccinated/all goes well) but ill be honest w/ you, i know many locals arent getting the vaccine and i know plenty of tourist arent gonna take the necessary precautions.

Oh my LORDY

I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.
