Personal blog for posting my thoughts on all things Tolkien (but mostly my obsession with Gandalf).
now I really want fanart of Berúthiel the cat-attracting cat-hater, though
She was one of these people who loathe cats, but cats will jump on them and follow them about – you know how sometimes they pursue people who hate them? … I’m afraid she took to torturing them for amusement, but she kept some and used them – trained them to go on evil errands by night, to spy on her enemies or terrify them.
-- Tolkien on Queen Berúthiel, in a 1966 interview (quoted in LotR: A Reader’s Companion)




I think this is Gondorian propaganda on Tolkien's part! ;)
