✨ ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
•
For how long will I be able to introduce these posts with 'It's that time of the year again' before it starts feeling trite and boring?
Hopefully not so soon! 🎅🦌
This is the 5th (the 5th!) #TolkienYule edition I'm putting forward in as many years, and I don't know if I should try to appear serious and make a deep statement about the passage of time and the richness of life experiences, or just be elated that yet another, very juicy sweet (as our friend Sméagol would say) series of Middle-earth-themed prompts has successfully seen the light of day! 🎆🎈
•
After graphic lists about Xmas accessories [2016], Winter holidays' sweets and dishes from around the world [2017], 'The Hobbit' and LOTR locations [2018] and extensive descriptions of all the Valar and Maiar from the Silm [2019], the brand new theme for this year is...well, 'The Hobbit' and LOTR themes! As in, the most important (often complementary or opposing) concepts, sentiments and underlying motifs moving our beloved Tolkien characters either backward or forward during the two stories, which are the fundamental message and legacy left to us by the Professor; all with a sprinkle of holiday magic of course: it wouldn't be #TolkienYule otherwise! 🎁🕯

As usual, if you want to join in the fun (heaven knows we need some fun after the 20 years of 2020), you can choose to do all, some or just one of the prompts featured above! Don't forget to use the #TolkienYule hashtag so that I and everyone else can see your contributions in the same place! You can share the prompt list on your feed and/or your Stories as well.
Also, I've uploaded a poll in my Stories over at @/theisleofapples in which I ask y'all if you would either want just one or more quotes to go with my Yule posts or if you want me to write down brief caption essays to expand a bit upon each theme, so go check that out too! ☃️❄
I hope you will love this just as I did creating it.
Have a great weekend!
