servant of secret trash fire

There are lots of exciting Tolkien fandom weeks coming up this year, so inspired by @arofili's 2023 calendar, @curiouselleth's brand new Tolkien Fandom Events community as well as @tolkienfandomevents, I decided to create a masterpost for 2025.

This list is not exhaustive, and dates are subject to change by the organisers of these events! Please check the original post for the most up-to-date version.

If you know of any events not included here, please don't hesitate to send me a message or an ask. This calendar was first posted on 13 April 2025, and only events taking place after that date will be featured. Please note that I am not running any of these events myself and that I am not responsible for any prompts/submissions part of these events.

i will come back to you…

get yourself a husband older than existence who still looks at you like you're the best part of it

Sweet lad, o come and join me, do! Such pretty games I will play with you.

I love you, for your comeliness charms me, my boy! And if you’re not willing, my force I’ll employ.

Erlkönig - Goethe

@feanorianweek Day 2: Maglor (plus one!)

Back then, Maglor was deeply frustrated about how easily his aunt Lalwendë seemed to play the clavichord

Nowadays Maglor is a master of this instrument plus several others, and looks at those old sessions with some bittersweet fondness.

@feanorianweek​ Día 2: Maglor (y acompañante!)

En aquel entonces Maglor esta profundamente frustrado por lo fácil que su tía Lalwendë parecía tocar el clavicordio.

Day 1 of @feanorianweek: Nelyafinwë occupies himself drawing while the grown-ups talk discuss politics, but when Grandfather asks to see his work, he's a little shy.

@secondageweek 2023 - Day 3: “Dwarves”
