reading tolkien feels like a genealogy assignment not just for humans, elves and other incredible beings. 
i’m also tracing the family tree of swords, mountains, and random trees with tragic backstories

i thought i saw the extent of his genius with LOTR, i couldn’t have been more wrong and you’re right, never emotionally recovering from this.

Tolkien’s true genius: making you cry over a hill that got stabbed in the First Age and never emotionally recovered. 

Side note. understand Tolkien + CS Lewis = understand the world.

exactly like in the meme but inside my head. i have cleared up space and set up a big white board with red strings and markers and all the works. 
(i keep going back to the preface as well which has the family lineage and other names listed lol) 

so chill, i finished a cry session after chapter 2, aptly titled “ The Battle of Unnumbered Tears”

how are you doing the tracing? digitally or analog notebook? sounds like a v chill time. ☺️
