Obviously this is true and good but ironically it’s so discouraging when people cite Hayao Miyazaki or JRR Tolkien in this vein because they’re like the opposite of this attitude. They consistently created art their entire lives and achieved legend status later in life because of it. Not helpful!

Weird take lots of ‘may’ & ‘probably’ in this bizzaro take. I read Dostoevsky, JRR Tolkien, Larry Mc Murtry, Steinbeck, Judy Blume, Tom Clancy, etc.
Read all but Tom Clancy as a kid continued to read as an adult S. King & many of the above authors sans JBlume as an adult.
What a bizarre take imo

Principal photography for the LOTR movies began 27 years ago yesterday. That's now longer than the length of time between the beginning of principal photography and the actual death of JRR Tolkien himself.

'Good often does evil': JRR Tolkien on 'the most tragic moment' in The Lord of the Rings
In 1968, the BBC broadcast extracts from JRR Tolkien's last ever recorded interview, 31 years after The Hobbit was published. In 2019, the full video was unearthed from the archive.

Remember when I mentioned Kikuta-san had a surprising academic background? It shows. Compared to so many of its peers in the 90s JRPG space, Koudelka was pulling less from Japanese pop art conventions than from English literary influences.

Today I want to share six of my favorite comfort reads. JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Grace Draven's Gaslight Hades, Ilona Andrews' Sweep in Peace, Ilona Andrews' Clean Sweep, Nalini Singh's Alpha Night, and Nalini Singh's Last Guard. These are the books I read again and again. Comment yours.

There is a great moment in the video, half way through this article, when Tolkien talks about the most tragic moment in LotR, & how thematically it encapsulates the message of good doing evil.

ELDEN RING's major religion is the Golden Order, which melds Christianity and Norse heathenry, in much the same way JRR Tolkien did, except Tolkien was a Catholic who liked heathenry and Fromsoft hate both with the kind of passionate hatred that is in almost every way the equal of love

Imagine the horror JRR Tolkein would have to the idea of a machine creating a fantasy world instead of a person, considering a large part of the ideas behind his work is fighting back against machines and automation (man hated farming machines with a passion usually reserved for racism)
