I made a button. All the cool people are doing it, so I wanted to try my hand at it. I’m pretty inept regarding artistic or creative stuff like this.

Whether anyone will use it is another story, but that’s not the point.

Now, before you sadly shake your head and edge away, let me explain.

I’ve been a huge fan of Tolkein for years, probably since ~1980, long before “those movies” (which were pretty good, actually), and Azog is character from the M-e mythos. I’ve been using that pseudonym for years. although it has become popular elsewhere. If you google for azog, you’ll find not just me, but others who have adopted this as their online persona. The text is a writing system named cirth, which Tolkien had adapted from the futhark, so, read left-to-right, it simply says, azog.

Pretty interesting, huh? Yea, I know. Just humor him, they said.
