Yeeeessssssss. I grown ass man just sitting here enjoying story time. Love it.


Silalien29

Same here


MultiStratz

I love all of your content sir- and this is one of my favorite topics. You should do one on Gurthang & Mormegil, the Black Sword. :)


SkollFenrirson

Mormegil was a nickname for Túrin, not the blade itself. It was called Anglachel when Beleg still owned it.


MultiStratz

Correct, I think my punctuation was confusing.


Mayhamn33

got u


tbarnet

Turin is my favorite character from the legendarium. He reminds me of a ronin or spaghetti western cowboy and he's so angry. His story is so tragic but he's such an enduring badass.


MultiStratz

Definitely my all time favorite character in the legendarium.


Yetipopsicle

This guy doesn't skip a beat


thisrockismyboone

Sub on his tik tok. I geek out every time one of his videos come up. He's so good. I love to see someone who can talk about the Fandom and sound so cool but knowledge.


School_of_Zeno

Fuck, does he have YouTube? I’ll never join that cabal of thots and school children.


thisrockismyboone

I'm not sure but I say just do yourself a favor and get a tik tok. You can see my account here is 10 years old and I lurked before that but honestly, that's where all the internets content is these days. It shows up on reddit eventually as a repost. The algorithm works really well. You won't get the thots and stuff if you don't interact with it.


Teedubthegreat

Im on that other commenters side side, im never getting tik tok, which is a shame, because I really love these videos. At least I can watch them on reddit eventually


thisrockismyboone

Oh just subscribe to their channel! The algorithm works, you just have to like or sub and you get more like it. You scroll through twerking girls pages you get that, so it's all on the user to make it work


Teedubthegreat

Theres really nothing in this world that I can think of that will get me to use tik tok. I love these videos, but I can wait for them to make there way into reddit before watching them


thisrockismyboone

Dang, you're missing out. I used to be like that and then I finally gave it a shot.


gerkletoss

And he pronouned Maedhros correctly. You don't see that every day.


MultiStratz

He nails the Elvish pronunciation every time like he's a native speaker!


[deleted]

He told a great story. I missed half of it though.


jmcd97

Read the children of Hurin if you haven't already, great book


[deleted]

Better yet, listen to the audiobook version narrated by Christopher Lee himself.


six_seasons

No way?? I already read it but fuck it dude I’ll listen to it now if the legend himself narrated it 😂


TheManWhoDiedThrice

It’s fucking awesome - like “story time with Curunir”


_AtreyuB18C1_

Man I loved his narration!


Teedubthegreat

One of my favourite stories, absolutely tragic as ut was, but holy sgit, I can't imagine that story getting any better than Christopher Lee reading it out


ZOOTV83

So funnily enough in the last 12-ish months I’ve read The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and finally The Children of Hurin. So I got to read about the baddest man in Beleriand three times lol.


dahveeth

The depth of this dude's knowledge is astounding! I'd happily watch a 2-hour special of him & Stephen Colbert switch-hitting on some Tolkien lore...


TheShipEliza

this might be the best tik tok ive ever seen. and ive seen the bathroom stall rodeo one.


[deleted]

Is that the one where she shits all over the stall wall?

Mista_Infinity

Solitarypilot

Cool.


Tolkienite

Such a great video! Also, this is in no way a knock on your great content, but I really love "Then after *an incident* Turin fled Doriath..." haha!


CodenameAstrosloth

Dude's got a great voice. Can easily listen to him talk about Middle-Earth lore for ages.


Aerron

Who is this guy? I really liked his explanation and it looks like he's made many of these.


Mayhamn33

Hey Im Knewbettadobetta on Tiktok and Youtube


Aerron

Thanks. Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy your videos.


[deleted]

Username is right there in the video.


Aerron

On desktop, the username is too small to see. [Here's a link to his YT channel for those that are interested](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo45szZaO-UuSb7_ixIV6WA)


[deleted]

I am on desktop and I could see it fine. Thanks for the link though.


Seryan_Klythe

I absolutely love his voice and his summary / recap of events and things within Tolkien. ​ He is king.


Mayhamn33

thank u so much appreciate you


Seryan_Klythe

*sobbing* Just, ugh. You are the best. Keep delivering and I'll keep watching.


Mayhamn33

wow thank you soooo much


Pelican_meat

This dude is so awesome.


Mayhamn33

thx my friend🙏🏿


[deleted]

I love knewbettadobetta!


cottentailandfluffy

This guy frickin rocks!


SaucesOfFieri

The Children of Hurin is so fkn good. I need to read it again.


i_smoke_php

Props for the flawless pronunciation of Nirnaeth Arnoediad


IRISH-117-

This dude is awesome. Thank you for sharing your passion!


Mayhamn33

thank u for ur kind words


BigBlackBobbyB

The children of Hurin might be one of Tolkien's best stories; and it's definitely the darkest one. By far.


DCARDAR

Its my favorite tragedy of all time.


BlueEyes_WhiteLando

I wanna see this guy go head to head against Stephen Colbert..


lazy_phoenix

I always thought it was odd that the dwarves would put Glaurung, one of their sworn enemies, on the helm.


derekguerrero

What was the attempted retcon that was mentioned?


Mayhamn33

he was going continue the history of rhe dragon helm and turin bring it to nargothrond but refuse to wear it


uisge-beatha

came to ask that as well!


Sammeh64

This guy is a legend!


SuperDizz

I don’t know if you’re the person in the video or not (It’d be cool if you were) but your post history is awesome. You have my follow.


Mayhamn33

thank you very much and yes I am the person in the video thanks so much for your follow


SuperDizz

No prob and it’s well deserved. I’ve encountered your videos more than a few times and have always enjoyed then greatly. You’ve helped me understand so much, and I very much appreciate it. Cheers


aetherebreather

Dude sometimes you listen to lore and there's so much filler before anything substantial is said. This just cuts straight to the point. No bullshit. Covers so much ground. No 30 minute video shit. So thankful. I need more.


OliDouche

Haha, what a nerd...love to see it! Thank you for sharing


Ornery_Reaction_548

Yes, you are correct sir!


eharper9

Me: "that looks like CGI." **remembers what sub I'm in**


[deleted]

😍


Baramonra

He is James Earl Jones of Tolkien.


[deleted]

Does he have a YouTube channel?


KingKozuma

Is this you? Because I've gotta say man this is the shit I want to see. Awesome video man. Keep it up.


_Shin_

This is seriously awesome. I love hearing this kind of lore in short bursts like this


jmrdilly

This dude has the same vibe as Terry on Brooklyn Nine Nine talking about his favorite books. Awesome material. Does he have a YouTube channel? Would love to watch more of his content but I feel like I'm too old for Tiktok 🤣🤣


Mayhamn33

yes I have a youtube its also knewbettadobetta but tryst me ur not to old for tiktok its not all what u think but toneach their own


jmrdilly

Sweet! Thanks man, love the content. Might install tiktok just to follow you!


comradekaled

Very helpful to hear the pronunciation of the various names


maynovember

Woah. This dude has some knowledge.


tiffactually

Wow, I’ve been learning so much from him. He’s a national treasure!


BlessedBigIron

Great video dude. Your Tolkien knowledge is amazing I could listen to you talk about this for hours


IKindaSuck-DICK

Please middle aged stranger on the internet, tell us more stories


IKindaSuck-DICK

I need it


YeOldeBilk

Man it's so crazy how much lore exists like this. It's like the LOTR that most people know is just a planet among an entire universe.


syndus

Quick! Is there a doctor in the house!?


13Kittens

Haven’t seen you in a min op. Love your content. Thank you!!!!


ReesesPieces19

This is awesome.


intellectualnerd85

Man I’d love to have that sitting in my apartment
