The return of the memes

Whether you love it or hate it, it's safe to say that being in nature brings a lot of comfort to a lot of people. My family was never the type to go on vacations for the natural landscapes , but even I know that being in nature can open you up to so much joy. I remember in May of 2021, me and all my best friends went on our first big outing to go hiking in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Even though I'm not the most athletic, and it wasn't the longest hike, it was so amazing to just be around trees, rock…

Happy Tolkien Tuesday, nerds, geeks, and all-around Lord of the Rings freaks. We're back for another round of this week's best Middle-Earth-based internet memes. I'll admit it. I wasn't a Lord of the Rings fan until fairly recently. I didn't grow up with it and I was rarely exposed to it. The closest I got to becoming a fan was through playing “The Lord of the Rings: Conquest.” Even then, it was just a game I played at my friend's house. The first real theatrical exposure to the series was thro…

Happy Tuesday, nerds. On this beautiful day in New York City, things are pretty damn smoggy thanks to the terrible wildfires. As an asthma sufferer, I must stay inside despite the relatively pleasant temperature. Thankfully, I've got plenty of ways to busy myself. One helpful pastime has been collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our weekly roundup of the good stuff: a mix of fresh, funny, and classic memes inspired by the books and movies we so love. This week, like last week, we've got a few…

Things have been relatively quiet for the Lord of the Rings fandom of late. After all the insane drama (and to be quite frank, blatant racism) surrounding The Rings of Power, e ven the most annoying and pedantic whining feels like a relief. We've been able to enjoy the funniness, and the rewatches, without interruption. This week, however, we've been hearing a lot of rumblings about the new The Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. And lemme tell ya, the rumbling ain't positive. While reviews are not…

Welcome, fellow Middle-Earth enthusiasts, to a realm where humor intertwines with the beloved world of The Lord of the Rings . That's right, it's Tuesday, so you're gonna wanna brace yourselves as we embark on a journey through another meme gallery crafted with devotion to this timeless saga. From Boromir's unforgettable "One does not simply" meme, forever capturing his desperate plea for the wisdom of the Council of Elrond, to the legendary "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!" musical rem…

Warm greetings to the Lord of the Rings enthusiasts of the world wide web! As it'sTuesday , the worst day of the week, we're officially three days away from the end of our weekly woes. As much as we loathe this day of the week, Tuesday also means that we're back to supply a double dose of Lord of the Rings memes - most of which are incredibly dumb, yet enjoyably silly. We've scoured the depths of Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram to bring you the newest and most amusing LOTR memes out there, whic…

As excited as I am for the warm weather to arrive, I always feel a bit of sadness as winter ends and hibernation ceases with it. Though I often decry the pains of seasonal affective disorder, the winter blues are great for enabling behaviors that may not necessarily be the most mentally healthy. This can mean gorging oneself on rich, wintery meals. It can also mean (if you're like me) binge-watching movies and television shows. While I like a current comedy or a cooking competition as much as t…

Greetings, fellow travelers of both the Internet and Middle-earth! We're back with another hefty collection of Lord of the Rings memes , brought to you by a true fan of both J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary masterpieces and Peter Jackson's epic film adaptations, and a fan of memes. Prepare to embark on an adventure as timeless as the journey of Frodo and the Fellowship, as we explore the Internet's darkest caverns, hunting for, well, the dumbest and funniest Lord of the Rings memes that they have to…

Happy Tuesday, nerds! Welcome back to another edition of Tolkien Tuesday, where we put together rousing roundups of memes for anyone who loves The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. This collection has got it all: incredibly dumb and low-effort memes that somehow hit the spot, memes that reference the actual books instead of Peter Jackson's adaptations, plus some solid Twitter and Tumblr posts that shout out our favorite fantasy films and the books that inspired them. As a bonus, we're als…

What up, nerds? I don't know about you, but it has been a rough couple of weeks. Dealing with a breakup, health issues, children being murdered, and the daily struggle of working is tough, to say the least. But when the world feels like it's falling apart, we often turn to stories for comfort and inspiration. For many of us, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a go-to source for both. But let's be real, sometimes we just need a good laugh instead of a dense tome. And that's where…

Warm greetings to our fantasy-loving friends. Not much has been going down in the Lord of the Rings universe since Warner Bros. announced their plans to expand it. That is, unless you're a Magic: The Gathering fan. According to IGN, which is offering an exclusive first look at some of the cards, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth will be a full, draftable card set that is legal to play in the game's modern format. While this news might be exciting for MTG nerds, many of us are not tha…

Happy Tolkien Tuesday, folks! Our resident J.R.R. Tolkien expert Ada is off on a merry adventure right now, and she's left me to share these memes with all of your middle earth residents. The only problem is I am not what you'd call a Lord of the Rings expert, which you could probably tell by my use of the phrase “middle earth experts.” I did not even read The Hobbit in the 3rd grade. I don't have a stellar justification for this except that I'm taking my time while consuming big franchised mov…

Enjoying the fantasy or science fiction genres is considered lame by some people. I'm talking about the people who read non-fiction books about politics, or people who prefer to watch the news over a dramatic television show. Some dismiss the genres as corny, while others look at them as an immature escape from reality. We're of the mind that the fictional genres of fantasy and sci-fi require an incredible level of creativity, something that is unique to human beings and should be taken advanta…

Well, well, well. An entire week has passed since last Tuesday, which means it's time for us to present you all with the best Lord of the Rings memes that blessed our eyes this week. Tuesdays may be the worst day of the week (so many days until Friday), but at least we can enjoy the knowledge that our week of meme-hunting may bring joy to some of our followers. This week's batch of memes includes some funny LoTR-related tweets , some classic comedic reposts, and a whole lot of stupidity. So it'…

There's a quote in T olkien's Fellowship of the Ring that always comes back to me when I'm lamenting the current state of affairs, be it my own personal emotional turmoil, or the many ills faced by the world on a global level. When Frodo is tasked with the impossible, we are blessed by the following exchange: “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is…
