Tolkien South Asian Week is 2 weeks away!
It’s running from June 13th to June 19th, 2022.
This week is to celebrate South Asian peoples, cultures and lives through Tolkien’s Legendarium. I started my Everyone in Middle-Earth is Brown series two years ago to imagine Tolkien characters as people like me. TSAW stemmed from that and aims to diversify and enrich high fantasy, Tolkien’s literary works and fandom.
Guidelines:
- Tag your entries with #tsaw22andmention me@arwenindomiel;
- Everyone is free to participate, you don’t have to be South Asian;
- All creations should be Safe for Work so nothing explicit;
- Creations of all kinds are welcome: graphics, art, fic, meta etc;
- Bigotry will not be tolerated (non-exhaustive list here).
The non-madatory prompts:
- DAY 1: Ainur | Monochrome/one colour | Avari | Etymology
- DAY 2: Elves | Minimalism | Balrogs | Tragic hero/heroine
- DAY 3: Dwarves | Faceless | Laiquendi | Foreshadowing
- DAY 4: Men | Portraits | Blue Wizards | Symbolism
- DAY 5: Nazgúl | Typography | Firebeards | Foils
- DAY 6: Hobbits | Motifs | Dunlendings | Subplots
- DAY 7: Freeform | Colours abound | Unnamed characters | Alternate Universes

“Well, it can’t be helped. I wonder if it’s any good trying to finish my book? But don’t let’s worry about it now – let’s have some real News! Tell me all about the Shire!” - FoTR

“Merry looked out in wonder upon this strange country, of which he had heard many tales upon their long road. It was a skyless world, in which his eye, through dim gulfs of shadowy air, saw only ever-mounting slopes, great walls of stone behind great walls, and frowning precipices wreathed with mist.” -RoTK

Happy Twelfty-six Birthday to the Professor
I am (obviously) much in love with plants and above all trees, and always have been; and I find human maltreatment of them as hard to bear as some find ill-treatment of animals. - Tolkien to the Houghton Mifflin Co., 1955
And Happy 89th Birthday to my Grandpa! even though he won’t likely be seeing this
