interestingly enough, I said Silmarillion ( another book by tolkein) not LotR.

 

Turns out, after a google search, the guy unknowingly married his sister, Nienor, who he had found badly injured. She had amnesia, couldn't remember who she was. he hadn't seen her/heard from her since she was a baby or something so had no idea she was his sister at the time. Some sorceror came along and cured her amnesia, she then killed herself because she realised she'd married, and carried the child of, her brother. Turin committed suicide as well after this.

Damn.

I could barely make it through LotR. No way am I ever gonna read Silmarillion. *drink*

Silmarillion was a difficult read. I found it hard to keep my head around what was going on once I got a quarter through. Once one gets the hang of it though it's really interesting if you're into Tolkein's fantasy world of middle earth and its lore.

If you're not, it is not the book for you. rofl

 

Lord of the Rings trilogy is still one of my favourite series. but I have quite a few favourites so it's not special.

Interestingly enough LOTR and the Similarion take place in the same fictional universe, so it makes good short hand.  Also interestingly enough that since I have only seen (and read) LOTR that is the only place I would have heard the reference...and I could have sworn there is a passing reference to 'Turin' somewhere in the LOTR books and or movies.

Damn.

*bro fist*  Those books are drier then a Witch's *air horn drowns out everything Foley was going to say.*

Interestingly enough? The Silmarillion is a huge description of  that universe - his lifework.

LMAO.  I have no idea why but Seamus Harper flashed through my head calling Dylan Hunt (played by Kevin Sorbo) Looks like a Greek God or something.

Yeah, I'm not interested in the world or the lore which is why I haven't touched it.

[Al Foley]

Damnit Deanne.

[Al Foley]

your editing skills strike again...(I am going to regret quoting this now aren't I?)

[Tragedienne of Heavens]

Nope.

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Yes.

[Ashaantha]

You could actually say it's not the same world setting everywhere the Silmarillion took place is buried under the sea by the time Lord of the Rings, or even The Hobbit, comes by. And yeah Turin's name is mentioned like once, maybe twice, in Lord of the Rings, that was the book I read first and remember the name from.

 

But nooooo, it cannot all be bundled under LotR, as that refers to one trilogy.. not Tolkein's other 15+ books and tales which never got made into movies. Excluding The Hobbit from that count.

*overly-correct-term needing person grumbles*

I'd constantly get mixed up if it really was all bundled into one acronym anyway. There's too many of the bloody things.

you edited.. twice?

 

anyway, yeah. I didn't bother shorthanding his life before finding his amnesiac sister lol. It's not much better.

[Ashaantha]

understandably so

[Tragedienne of Heavens]

Yes.

Hell to the no.

Hush hush, you!

Fair enough I guess.  I just prefer shoehorning it all under one master name.  

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Nope.

psst you should totally change the gif to mess with him now.

[Tragedienne of Heavens]

You want her to punish me don't you?

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Hell to the no.

Hush hush, you!

THE SNITCH DOESN'T LIKE BEING SNITCHED ON!

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

No, I just wanted to mess with Foley.

[Al Foley]

Hell to the no. 

 

Hush hush, you!

having zero experience with Supernatural other then the occasionally deranged fandom I am getting some really kinky vibes from that gif.  

[Tragedienne of Heavens]

I've converted!

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

understandably so

Slogging through LotR told me that world was not for me.

[Al Foley]

No, I just wanted to mess with Foley.

You seem to like doing that...you sure you didn't get by the name Jel in a past life?

That would be Donkson's influence.
