Not that LotR is any good, but imagine spending your whole life in the shadow of your father lmfao.

His filial piety is an esoteric viand that gives him infinite power. For centuries alchemists and incels have tried to unlock the secrets of lichdom so that they might live forever. For centuries they have failed, leaving only dusty gay corpses. Only Christopher Tolkien has unlocked the real secret: loving dedication to one's parents. Though he has no concept of eternal life, he will live for centuries like an antedeluvian, because his veins surge with the power of love.

From what I understand he's still going but he's slowed down considerably. He's still competent, but not as sharp as he used to be.

How do I write to him?

I want to find out if his Father ever made racist comments, or how he think he'd feel about the state of the West today?

All we have on the subject is Tolkien's philosemitic letter to the Nazis, which I believe probably misrepresents him.

Was there ever a more devoted son?

lmao you really want him to hate Jews don't you? eh heh

I feel bad for him, he only recently realized the knock-on effect this would have on his family, Christopher was already independently successful before LotR but his kid Simon is an absolute joke.

Christopher Tolkien would tell you: "Go back to /pol/ retard"

Doubtful, Christopher Tolkien hates his Jewish grandchildren.

Probably relaxing the south of France, slightly disappointed at his son for allowing another LOTR adaptation as soon as he passed on the estate to him.

Chirstopher Tolkien is a based human being. Not only is he like the best son ever, but he gave us so much great material without being a fanfiction writing hack like Brian Herbert.
