EmiliaTheHero ( @EmiliaTheHero@possumpat.io ) 16•9 months agoOne could argue that Tolkien is an enemy to the trees. [Warning unverified sources and very rough maths lie below]
- The LOTR Trilogy has sold 150 million copies, and the Hobbit has sold 142 million source
- Each LOTR book has a (very rough) average of 430 pages, while the Hobbit has ~360. This totals to 115,620,000,000 pages printed
- The average tree creates ~20,000 sheets of paper source
This means Tolkien is responsible for the deaths of at least 5,781,000 trees. The Ents would not be happy
LoraxEleven ( @LoraxEleven@beehaw.org ) 4•9 months agoSweet bastard. Fuckin love the guy. The Hobbit was required reading in third/ fourth grade. I ended up reading the rest because it was fuckin good shit.
Quit raping trees, motherfuckers. Shit ain’t cool at all.

blackluster117 ( @blackluster117@possumpat.io ) English2•9 months agoI wonder if they based Treebeard’s face on Tolkien’s? I’m seeing a lot of similarities in this photo.
