Ah yes, ze americans are at it again… 😩

What do you think the orcs are? Like, which would be your preferred answer to the question, since there appears to be no singular one according to the youtube clip? Or could they be like a group of all four creation myths? :)

Thanks, didn’t know this was such a well covered topic… shucks, tolkien strikes again! :D

cool! thanks, that was informative! gotta check out the other vids on the channel now :)

hehe, I didn’t expect it to be such a discussed and thought about subject- but then again it’s tolkien we’re talking about… 😅
honestly, as someone who’s only read the hobbit, the trilogy and the silmarillion aeons ago, very little has really stuck. like, i could have remembered the parts quoted here, but alas, most of it is gone… gotta admit, silmarillion i read halfway and had to switch to the audio book since i kept falling asleep… and then the audio book would make me fall asleep too… 😅 so a lot of the silmarillion i only remember like in a dreamy haze… and the whole afterlife part was just something that popped to mind today and I thought, well if i was having a casual conversion with someone who knew a lot about lotr, it would def be a question i’d ask! so, here we are :)

I like the animation very much, but I feel slight anxiety she’ll slide off those shingles any second… 😅

such wow. much climate halp.
