Daily Rings Of Power 💍

There's so many passages I love in the book but I'll leave you with the one that has occupied my mind since reading it, an important reminder on hope:

Logging on just to say how much I enjoyed @TeawithTolkien's book. Full of love for Tolkien and offering so many beautiful reminders of the lessons we can take from Middle-earth into our own lives, the book is both universal in its insights and deeply personal in its writing.

Warner Bros could never hope to match the genius of Sir Demetrious Polychron and his tales of HMS Samwise the capitalist king and the super secret rings of power given to animals 🙏

@jessicannatar 🫶 although I'd say I'm more of a Dunk when it comes to the dancing 😂

@DailyRoP Just call me Dunk then 👂

Accurate depiction of what it's like to start a podcast

@myelessar And therein lies the problem

@DailyRoP i’m not ashamed

when are they going to re-release the lord of the rings trilogy in 4D so i can feel aragorn breathing on me

@PopCultWeasel Hey now, we've never pretend to ever be professional or prepared 😂

@DailyRoP Sounds about right for both of you 😁

Looking forward to doing this livestream, but the date is tbd for one simple reason:

@jessicannatar We are the absentee TROP podcasters, but we always return even if it's the long way round 😅

@DailyRoP Omg mom and dad! 😍🙌🏽

in the next couple of weeks @DailyRoP and i are going to do a livestream looking back at season 2 of the rings of power. we’re going to do a ‘best of’ and ‘worst of’ - chatting about everything we loved and things we didn’t like as much!

Hearing that Sauron has deposed Celebrimbor as Lord of Eregion for hoarding his precious rings. Sauron would like to make clear that this is not another foreign war for regime change, and that he will now make Middle-earth very wealthy. Lots to think about!

@myelessar Love all these books but think the films surpass each: Drive My Car: takes a short story and turns it into a 3 hour masterpiece Arrival: visual medium makes the plot twist more impactful The Martian: improved pacing and Damon elevates the material The Exorcist: cheating here

can you guys give me examples of where you’ve found a film adaptation to improve upon the book? i have been reading different books then watching the adaptions recently - the books are superior so far (surprise!)

Merry Elrond "was as kind as Christmas" Day to you all 💛

@jessicannatar It was really just an excuse to feature Mr 'eyes as keen as stars' Shipwright, but never a bad day to mention Eärendil 🙌 P.S. I might actually be more back because I've had an idea for a mini return of the pod soon

@DailyRoP Oh Eärendil mention iktr Harry DailyRoP is so back! 🙌🏽😍

“With the aid of Círdan Eärendil built Vingilot, the Foam-flower, fairest of the ships of song; golden were its oars and white its timbers, hewn in the birchwoods of Nimbrethil, and its sails were as the argent moon.” ~ The Silmarillion

“The gods laid a Ban on the Númenóreans from the beginning: they must never sail to Eressëa, nor westward out of sight of their own land. In all other directions they could go as they would.” ~ The Silmarillion

@ladywesternesse Can't all just stay in my brain, now can it?

@DailyRoP harry why are you posting old man yaoi

“Against Aeglos the spear of Gil-galad none could stand; and the sword of Elendil filled Orcs and Men with fear, for it shone with the light of the sun and of the moon, and it was named Narsil.” ~ The Silmarillion

RIP to my favourite ever galaxy brain take: elves can't be sad 🙏

It's funny when people get worked up about intra-fandom drama these days, because some of you weren't around for the wild takes we had to suffer before the show aired
