crying ;-; thank you! I started to type this out and then I hit the word limit for a comment/response, so it’s going to be mulstiple posts lol sorry to clog the feed! ok i'm not sure where to start about my lotr feelings haha i listened to them as audiobooks, which i absolutely loved, but i was just thinking earlier today how i'd love to get a hold of physical copies to re-read them that way!

i'm very glad that i read the books before watching the movies though! it was great seeing it playout on the screen while all the book details were still fresh in my mind! As a conlang enjoyer, I’ve been looking forward to reading/watching lotr for a few years. I’ve just been waiting for the right time to start I guess.

Embarrassingly enough, it was actually the 2019 Tolkien movie that got me Properly interested in conlanging. i'm not sure if it's up your alley, but I just finished reading this great article by Dimitria Fimi called “Language as Communication vs. Language as Art: J.R.R. Tolkien and early 20th-century radical linguistic experimentation,” which has been a really fun sort of synthesis of a lot of my interests!

thanks for the article rec!! i haven’t seen the 2019 tolkien movie yet so this was a nice reminder… i can’t imagine how cool the audiobooks were as a first-time experience! the books were too difficult for me (wayy back in the day when i first learned about lotr) so i did watch the movies first, and coming back to the books as a way to experience the story in full was so rewarding :) hoping to tackle the silm soon!
