Tolkien was an early 20th century nerd. As such he geeked out on mythology, poetry and fantasy.

If he was born today he would be a weeabo.

Autists don't have imagination, they are soulless bugpeople

Keep trying to justify yourself for living

Kinda but also no.
He was part of a club before WW1, whom were going to try and together write something akin to his legendarium.
Then every single one of them except him died, and he took it on himself to accomplish what they wanted to do, and do it by himself.
So it's kind of PTSD, for doing it for them, but he also had the idea before WW1.

Because Tolkien was the ultimate bro.

Just got the word through the grapewine. They've signed a 6 movie deal, will release yearly, with a spin-off every summer, based on the whacky adventures of each side character.

>>78907709
I agree. That would make for an excellent movie if done right.

>>78906773
He was already writing those things during the war.

>>78906773
He was a brilliant English professor more than a writer. It's all based on his area of expertise.
