Q: What Was Sauron’s True Name?
ANSWER: Sauron’s “true” name must be one of the most popular topics among Tolkien fans who dive deep into the minutiae of the books. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were discussing the Orcs whom Boromir had killed, they pondered what the “S” rune on their helms might represent. Aragorn dismissed the idea that it could represent “Sauron” because “he does not […]

The Tolkien purist meets individual expression.

[ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style shows Elara and Darvolo sitting together in a cozy music studio. The room contains musical instruments, microphones, sheet music, books, potted plants, and warm natural light. Both characters hold small harps, although Elara is the one actively playing throughout most of the comic. Colorful musical notes float from her harp whenever she plays, emphasizing the gentle melody. The conversation centers on Tolkien’s descriptions of elves and Elara’s own pointed ears.
Panel 1: Elara, a blonde elf with blue eyes, fair skin, and pointed ears, gently plays a small harp while colorful musical notes drift into the air. Darvolo, a cheerful boy with light brown skin, dark hair, and clothing suited to a warm climate, watches her thoughtfully. Darvolo is the only character speaking. His speech bubble reads: “Do you think all elves in Middle-earth have pointed ears?”
Panel 2: Elara smiles, shakes her head, and continues playing without missing a note. Musical notes continue floating from the harp while Darvolo listens attentively. Elara is the only character speaking. Her speech bubble reads: “Tolkien never wrote any stories with pointy-ear elves.”
Panel 3: Elara closes her eyes and keeps playing peacefully, apparently unconcerned by the conversation. Darvolo looks puzzled and gestures toward her ears as he asks a follow-up question. He is the only character speaking. His speech bubble reads: “So why do you have pointed ears?”
Panel 4: Elara suddenly stops playing. The musical notes disappear. She stares ahead with wide eyes and an open mouth, clearly shocked by the unexpected question while still holding the harp.
Panel 5: Elara imagines herself with rounded, human-like ears instead of pointed ones. The imagined version appears inside a soft-edged thought bubble surrounded by sparkles. Outside the thought bubble, Elara studies the imaginary version with a thoughtful expression, considering how different she would look.
Panel 6: Darvolo laughs warmly, amused by the situation. Elara smiles, resumes playing her harp, and colorful musical notes once again float through the air. She appears completely comfortable with herself. Elara is the only character speaking. Her speech bubble reads: “I like them!”
The humor comes from Darvolo’s innocent observation. Elara confidently explains that Tolkien never explicitly described elves with pointed ears, only to realize that she herself has the familiar fantasy appearance. After briefly imagining life without pointed ears, she decides she likes them anyway, ending the comic with a cheerful acceptance of the artistic tradition while continuing to make music.

Fantasía épica medieval clásica de corte juvenil, apta para todas las edades.
Primera entrega de cuatro (por el momento), así que es muy introductoria y con final abierto, pero tiene los suficientes atractivos como para considerarse una lectura satisfactoria y disfrutable por sí misma.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Q: What Did Tolkien Mean When He Used ‘Swart’ And ‘Swarthy’ To Describe Elves And Men?
ANSWER: I have deferred answering this question because of my recent post about Andy Serkis. I received this question in September 2025 and as I process my queue of visitor-submitted questions it was coming up when Andy made waves in the news. I hope enough time has passed that people won’t mind my […]

Good news to paranormal authors - since Tolkien is seen as the Grandfather of Western High Fantasy, your blood suckers and big pups can claim a bit of High Fantasy glory!*
*Silmarillion has werewolves and vampires as servants of Sauron and Morgoth - AND the exist in the same era, in the same area.

If there’s art you wish to create, create it, even if you don’t share it. Be yourself. The world needs honest art.
I spent too long trying to be someone else, and when I at last became brave enough to find me, I lost 8 years to illness.
Honesty, it means everything.
You can’t begin to imagine the feeling, but you can if you try. Life gave me one last chance and I took it.
Be everwell.
