RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW

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 :)
