i'm looking over the tolkien character masterlist we made years ago and...we were so right besties @arofili @fingons-rad-harp @jaz-the-bard @stormxpadme

whoever wrote "extremely extenuating circumstances such as sentient swords and purses"..... this is a completely serious line but it's striking me right in the funny bone. be so for real right now mr tolkien, in which species category would you prefer we put William the troll's unnamed talking purse?

"chris tolkien's editorial assumptions count as Unknown" correct

[canonicity rankings as exemplified by a single character] and it's gil-galad and his horde of fathers. absolutely lmfao. based

anyway! if anyone is unfamiliar with this resource, it's a gem! you can sort by race/species, time, etc and all the tolkien gateway links are also available.

fabulous resource for fic-writers, meta-ponderers, and creators of all sorts.

[welcometolotr]

on the contrary! On the Master tab, Egalmoth is row 336 and Rôg is row 946 (though that can change with sorting). Both can also be seen in the Elves tab. We'd never leave them out!!

Have you ever wished there was a comprehensive, easy access resource of Every Tolkien Character Ever? Look no further! Now presenting:

The Tolkien Legendarium Characters Masterdoc!

compiled by @arofili, @ambrorussa aka @welcometolotr, @jaz-the-bard, and @fingons-rad-harp, this spreadsheet contains - to the best of our ability - ALL 1100+ characters that Tolkien incorporated into (or considered for) his Legendarium! this resource is open to the public for perusal and use in your fan projects of all kinds, though its creators are fanfiction writers and we organized the doc with our craft in mind.

we have organized this database by character race/species and Age. each character has attached information on their name(s), cultural/familial affiliation(s), life dates (when known), associated places, textual source, Ages/timeframe of activity, gender, relative canonicity, and brief pertinent information - as well as a link to their page on Tolkien Gateway (our main source) where you can continue your research on any character you choose.

characters of ALL levels of canonicity are represented in this sheet. that includes the wacky, wild stuff from the Book of Lost Tales, as well as Frodo himself! our designations of “how canon” a character is are inherently subjective, and you are free to disagree with our rankings; with this categorization we hoped to give people an idea of what to expect upon exploring the characters yourselves. please consult our Key for information on how we made these decisions. this document is a jumping-off point for your own research!

if there’s something you’d like to sort for that we didn’t provide, you are free to make a copy and reorganize the spreadsheet however you would like. (however, we do ask that you only redistribute the original sheet.)

this sheet includes characters from every text written by Tolkien that we could find information about on Tolkien Gateway. we are only human, and are thus likely to have made some mistakes or missed some characters - if you think that’s the case, please let us know so we can update the document!

if you think there is a character missing, or you would like something added/redacted/altered, contact the sheet owner @arofili on tumblr or annaquenta#6263 on discord and we will consider your request.

in addition to Tolkien’s own characters, we have included some characters who only appeared in Peter Jackson’s film trilogy adaptations. we are open to including characters from other adaptations, but we weren’t familiar enough with those to add them to the document. if you desperately want to see an adaptation-only character in the document, let us know!

we hope this resource is helpful for Tolkien fans of all kinds in learning more about his characters both weird and wonderful! happy headcanoning!

Tolkien Legendarium Characters and OCs Masterdocs

A collaboration of dedicated Tolkien fans like @arofili, @ambrorussa aka @welcometolotr, @jaz-the-bard, and @fingons-rad-harp (together with a little organizing help from mod stormxpadme) has spent the last few days, creating a comprehensive, easy access resource of every Tolkien character ever. The Tolkien Legendarium Characters Masterdoc is a spreadsheet that contains - to the best of the users’ ability - ALL 1100+ characters of Tolkien’s world. This resource is open to the public for fan projects of all kinds, though its creators are fanfiction writers and they organized the doc with their craft in mind.

Likewise, the users have created a parallel list for Tolkien OCs that everyone can be part of. The databases are organized by factors like character race/species, age, cultural/familial affiliation(s), life dates, associated places, Ages/timeframe of activity, gender and more.

If there’s something you’d like to add or alter on the canon character list, contact the sheet owner (@arofili on tumblr or annaquenta#6263 on discord) and they will consider your request.

If you want your own characters to be a part of the OC Masterdoc, contact mod @stormxpadme on tumblr.

raise your hand if you’re a spanish speaker who has felt personally victimised by tolkien’s use of ñ ✋

[welcometolotr]

For the draconic elves au, you should add Celebrimbor!

excellent idea! unfortunately i drew that series back in 2015 (wow it's...been a while huh) so v. unlikely that I will continue it any time soon. publishing the ask in case anyone else is inspired though ;)

draconic elves au

[welcometolotr]

new link, sigh: draconic elves au

Elladan and Elrohir failed to reach Celebrian before she was irrevocably changed. Her time under Sauron’s dominion hurt her terribly - but unlike most of his victims, she had a watchful protector - her uncle Finrod - who helped her endure. (draconic elves au)

I'm writing a silly indulgent fic that features Elmo, and I've included running as a skill. Your influence!

I LOVE TO HEAR SHIT LIKE THIS TY
