A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

Well, in the Sillmarillion, Lluvatar tells Melkor "Nice try fucking up my song, but I thought of that, watch:" and then middle earth was made.

It's my theory that hobbits were Lluvatar's answer to Melkors machinations.

Im imagining melkor hitting the ol "Oh, Eru!" (Badum ba, dum) sitcom special

An answer that took 3 entire epochs, and major world wars to come into play?

Yep. The song is basically the "script" all of reality follows, and only Lluvatar knows the whole story.

Melkor was such a dick.

Parts of the story don't make sense though. They didn't have the sun for a long time. Melkor built them like a palace out of ice that later melted, shit like that.
