4 Hours of Middle Earth Folklore: Baggins, Hobbits & the Shire | Cozy LOTR Fantasy Bedtime Stories

[@sidneyroy]

Fox! 🦊 50k?! Look at you go, my friend, you DESERVE IT! Thank you for all the wonderful stories. It's been an incredibly hard week & to have a place to "escape" for even a short time is so unbelievably helpful. Here's to the next 50k adventurers who join! 🍻

[@DozingDragonASMR]

Sidney you are unreal!! 🥹🤯 wayyy too kind thank you friend!! 🦊 truly, thank you so much for the support, encouragement, and deep kindness you’ve always shown me! i hope your days only get easier and gentler, and that you’ll be part of so many more adventures to come! 🫶🏻

[@sidneyroy]

@@DozingDragonASMR Of course!!! & Thank you 🖤. By the way, I finished this last night, SO good! 😍

hey dear friend

[@nybergjm]

No lie, you're really blessed with the kind of voice that is perfect for audiobooks/ASMR. I would happily pay money to hear an audio version of The Hobbit and LOTR read by you. Excellent story telling as always, too.

[@crystalpackard4550]

Perfect. Can't wait. Just getting ready for sleepy time. You're voice, reading and stories are so good. I'm glad I found you. I suffer from chronic illnesses. Fibromyalgia is the worst. A lot of pain, exhaustion, depression, I have horrible PTSD nightmares. The list goes on. Anything comforting really helps. And you have become a source of comfort for me. Thank you so much for everything you put into it all.

[@DozingDragonASMR]

im sorry to hear that you’re constantly feeling that pain and that sleep doesnt come easy 🥺 i pray it gets easier friend ♥️ and hope the stories can offer any measure of comfort for a small escape. thank u for being here, and please take care of yourself always 🫶🏻

[@ironbricks2606]

You should make a apothecary playlist since you said you're going to make a winter themed one, love your videos and I'll enjoy this one!

[@sharonvattimo5860]

Had a wonderful night's rest. Thank You. 🦊 Your respect for the art of Lord of the Rings comes across and is so appreciated by those of us who are tired of projects that borrow from the original but barely reflect it. Filling my cupboard with soups, cocoa and hot cereals, getting ready for dark, quiet winter evenings. Waiting for blizzard winds outside, crackling fireplace inside and Dozing Dragon Sleep stories completing the picture. Be well, friend ❄

[@DozingDragonASMR]

Tolkien’s works are so amazing, I truly feel a deep respect for them and his artistry 😁 that sounds like such a cozy and great start to the winter!! think ill do the same soon! thanks for being here Sharon and wishing u all the best as well, always!

[@cinnamonblue]

Perfect pace of reading thanks!!!!❤

[@OliverMartin-xk6rd]

The rings of power should have hired you as a show runner. Beautiful story telling and commitment to Tolkien's world.

No.

[@savannahjoldersma6243]

I mean, the main issue with rings of power is that they only have the rights to the appendices, not the Silmarillion

Wonderful reading! I don’t know how you came up in my feed but I’m sure glad you did! What fun to have this best tale ever written on in my background at work! Or the fairy tales and myths to fall asleep to. Love it!

Oh, my dearest friend, I'm very happy to hear a different version of the Hobbit. The Lord OF the Rings and The Hobbit I grew up in reading these stories and watched the animated version when I was a child. I'm so excited to listen to this wonderful tale. Thank you so very much Fox your due diligence of your writings and storytelling. You cease to amaze me how you're able to have such a delicate balance between your career and writings. Keep up your hard work. As always, much love and respect, my dear friend Fox.

[@sidneyroy]

Very well said! 👏🏼

[@jenniferbonsey1969]

@DozingDragonASMR Anytime my friend. I truly do appreciate your hard work. As always respect and love to you my dear friend.

[@2nightwehunt]

This is your best work! Please explore Middle Earth a bit more. To give you some ideas - I think and I am fairly certain its true most people want a cozy non violent nice stories to fall asleep to...One about the bastion of hope Elrond created in *Rivendalle* would be a great idea - I mean look at that place! Radagast being one with the nature and living in the wild forest could also be a great theme for a tale. Maybe one about the Ents and their history and traditions? Perhaps one about Moria at its height when it was a prosperous city full of craftsmanship and culture a provided safety for all the dwarves? Gandalfs travels is another one that could work! But you seem to do a darker stories as well - for that I could recommand the tale told in the game Diablo, its a spectacularly written story with a very dark atmosphere, its full of mystery yet extremly quiet, desolate, calm before the storm sort of vibe to it - yet hope never dies. Thanks for your work. This one is a masterpiece and I sincerely hope you make another middle earth ones, I feel like your channel has a very bright future once Tolkien fans discover it...(look at the numbers on Toliken centered channels)

[@owlthepirate5997]

Merry Christmas Fox! Thank you for all your hard work and all the talent you share with us on your channel! ❤❤ I listen to you every night..can you please do more rainy background stories like this please?? These are my very favorite 😊.

Check out David reads a song of ice and fire. He's doing the hobbit and his song of ice and fire is actually insane different voices for every character and regional accents.

[@squirepraggerstope3591]

Fascinating stuff, though nit-picking pedants like me must start by discounting the jarring failure of the mood-setting picture screened right at the outset. Which features an apparently comfortable, well-to-do Hobbit hole interior featuring a substantial domestic fire but with a window directly over the mantle, leaving no possible room for a chimney! It's actually a relief when after some 25 mins, this wallpaper, by then minutely analysed to identify every other unconvincing detail too (and so actually distracting from the narrative instead of the converse) is removed and the audio left unaccompanied, to be listened to in peace!

[@kevinu9528]

It's magic bro. I don't have to explain shit.

[@Trippsonstairs]

Yeah, it’s a not utopian. It’s about a star who gets famous enough to think he can do anything and becomes a fascist in his own mind. Run Like Hell isn’t a fun summer song, it’s about running from fascists trying to kill you.
