Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza

Come and show me ya faces ya hairy lot!

General common sense please - nothing rude, or without consent etc.

Insert comments here about how I still look the same....

One of me a week or two back, with no barbers open my hair is longer than its been in years.

Nerwen. Love the glasses! Looking great as always!

Heyo! There's a familiar face. Thanks for saving me when I missed my flight, Nerwen. What an adventure!

Solid glasses all around, everyone!

Well, a long while ago, my hair used to be like two feet long and blonde-- but here it is, also longer than it has been in months. Now I get to wake up to fun hair surprises every day. Here's my cat photobombing me like a champion.

Okay, I hope I figured out this image thing right- here goes:



EDIT 1: also I realize I am not a dwarf. But I have dreams of growing a beard one day so I was drawn to this thread. Maybe hanging out here will help coax the beard out...

I'm not a Dwarf, but I hope my RL beard qualifies me to be posting in here! I've come a long way since age 14...though I had a beard back then too XD. This was taken in Portland, Maine on an East Coast road trip with my now-fiancee!

Aspirational beards are very welcome!

@Reikon Suchi-ru Love the beard! And you are looking mighty handsome!

@Mor Toast Absolutely love seeing you pop in! And good luck with the beard, hanging around us dwarves should help!

Was a beardless dwarf once! Hope that counts, if not and you have a issue, come to the Pits and we can have it out there.. :P

Me and Naith, Naith is hiding, cause well he is and I dont know if he wants his pic up, so respecting that lol. This is obviously my alter ego and one of the rare times I went out in the sun.

@Reikon Suchi-ru feel free to make a new one haha

@Queen Nerwen Ask and ye shall receive!



Look how stately you look!

HAHAHAHa you've made my day

Hahaha that beard looks amazing on your Queen!

Nessila your pink has brought back soo many memories I never thought of before today.

Hello dwarfies!



I became a penguin for a bit.

@Queen Nerwen , you still look the same

Moriel, you look so fierce and I’m in love with your characters. Great showmanship and just awesome!

NORIN *RUNTACKLEGLOMPS* You make the cutest penguin!

@Moriel I do not miss carrying lamps like that!

Thanks @Oro, I appreciate the beard encouragement.
@Queen Nerwen Excellent beard.
I, on the other hand, do miss carrying lamps like that. XD
@Moriel Well, you tempt me to drag out fight and show photos... rude. Also, these are rad, and I swear some day we will get to do a show together, or at least physically meet and fight. Or something. I'm certain it will be epic.

@Moriel @mor] I am simply convincing myself I made the correct career choice *lol*

I might have changed a bit (the beard) and you also have ly lovely wife and my son.

I have pictures with the Queen. :smiley10: Just two for now, from the last time we met. (All in these photos are from the plaza. It was wonderful)

Hey Karis, on the second picture you have more peeps :-) and I know all of them :-p 2 Belgians (Euri and Elessea) and Lena obviously :-p

Mognar - I meant two photos, but yes. Lovely ladies all.

A dwarf, a Gondorian and a Rohirrim attend a wedding.. It sounds like the start of a joke, doesn't it? But oh it was such a wonderful experience!!

Someone should write that joke!

Fair. I can't deny that I'm enjoying a bit of a break from the endless drive of the theatre world. I feel rested for the first time in years. XD

@Nessila because I wanted to give you the chance to make a big deal about it (and maybe because somehow I might have forgotten your plaza name :smiley8: and Elessea is my cousin and the twig Euri I met more times then we have so the (plaza)name sticks :-p

@Tari Thanks babe!!

Hey used to be on the old plaza and did a few posts but was not as involved as you guys were, was younger and hadn't grown the beard i have been able to grow today yet.

This was a few months ago when i really let it go, but i trimmed it very soon after since it desperately needed.

A real life beard!!

Ahh, such excellent beard! Better yet still, a ginger beard! *stares hopefully at chin* Well... as soon as I've got a beard, y'all dwarves will be the first to know.

I do believe my beard is coming in well.

Nice to see so many familiar faces. You all look, wonderful!

Happy Allhalloween!

I wasn't always a dwarf. Once upon a time, I was a lumberjack. But Roger, with his red beard, influenced my decision to give up the chainsaw and pants for a beard (although never as lovely, soft, and real as his) and axe. He was a great Tolkien fan. It blows my mind that this was almost 45 years ago. :)

@Drifa , what a great pic though! 45 years is almost a century...

Yes, Pele, almost a century,

I took this with my laptop camera. I never know where to look when taking selfies. Happy Halloween, folks! Here I am with my Halloween Hat!

I adore that hat! And selfies are the bane of my existence! I am a professional photographer with a specialty of portraits (and ceremonies), and I can't take a decent selfie!!!

A lovely hat, @Drífa, and I love that smile on your face! But... the somehow the hat makes me think of the Netherlands, not Halloween. Must be the orange.

Thank you, ladies. I am wearing my Halloween hat to work this week. And just in time. Temperatures have gone below zero in the mornings in my part of the world.
The hex code for Dutch orange is #FF9B00 , according to the web.ꜛ

I am not Dutch, but I am willing to wear orange for Halloween and Dutch national pride.
The hex code for Halloween orange is #E66C2C, according to the web.ꜛ

There seems to be a slight difference, eh? Interesting topic, national colours.

As we Dutchies would say: Oranje boven! (Orange high aka long live the royal family)
Still looking for a good photo of myself in the mean time.. one that can be found online that is. Until I do, here's the one of the website of the company I work for. I like this one because it shows my Hobbit curls

Hi @Eamila Bolger! You have not changed much since back in the day on the old Plaza. Lovely to see your face again!
