Hello everyone!

This year we are back with Tolkien Family Week, an event dedicated to showing appreciation for familiar relationships in Tolkien's work - be it The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion or beyond.

Below is a list of non-mandatory prompts to take some inspiration from:

The week will run during the last seven days of November 2023 - 20th to 26th - and will be hosted by @tilions and @armenelols. We will operate in a mixture of queued posts and direct reblogs.

Some minor clarifications:

We are looking forward to your creations!

Follow up question: Does he give Figwit any jewelry at different points?

He would probably give him that ring before sailing west, right after finally telling him that the reason he kept it close and clean and preciously for so long is that inside it was a strand of hair from each of his family members, dating all the way back to his grandparents.
