THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

[ithilheld]

MORTALITY  IS  A  TASTE  OF  BITTERSWEET  UPON  HER  TONGUE.  alight  are  features  of  valinors  glow,  twilight  dancing  in  clusters  of  stars.  for  centuries  of  life  spent  in  fleeting,  of  moments  collected  as  trinkets  and  a  mere  blink  of  eternal  life.  the  urgency  of  humanity  has  taken  root  in  her  fëa;  held  within  was  her  mother’s  misfortune  of  feeling  too  deeply,  ACHE  all  the  more  consumed  by  choice  of  luthíen.  each  breeze  invokes  a  raise  of  ethereal  flesh  in  a  chill,  warmth  of  her  porcelain  cheeks  dappled  in  a  flush  of  soft  crimson.

the  evenstar  uplifts  a  stubbled  chin  in  her  silken  grasp.  flaxen  hues  with  in  a  sea  of  darkest  grey  held  a  depth  of  devotion  no  amount  of  unknowing  subjects  could  mirror.  ❛  are  you  so  keen  to  relinquish  our  love  out  of  fear  that  you  may  lose  it?  ❜  a  query  that  croons  as  softest  lamentation,  a  faintly  trembled  palm  splayed  over  his  chest.  LIFE  FORCE  HELD  IN  KEEPING,  NO  SINGULAR  REGRET  DARES  TO  HAUNT  HER.  with  a  tenderness  that  blooms  to  weather  every  harsh  storm  upon  him,  to  shield  the  one  who  held  her  fëa  within  his  grasp.

arwens  forehead  knocks  against  his,  imprinting  love  without  condition  or  crown.  ❛  there  is  no  tide  to  carry  me  away.  your  loss  is  my  loss,  your  fight  is  my  fight.  ❜

  ❛ sooner or later , the things you love , you lose .. ❜ @muutos / aragorn

ALWAYS  SCHOLAR  TO  HIS  FATHER'S  WISDOM,  LESSONS  COLLECTED  AS  KINDLING  TO  A  BUILDING  SAGE.  he  paid  attention;  every  note,  every  year  of  centuries  lived  in  practice.  this  day  was  no  different  than  any  other  day  but  the  subject  matter  was  far  from  tidings  of  practiced  war  or  challenge  of  feat.  this  day  he  was  a  love-lorn  poet  defeated  by  his  own  overreach.  an  ellon  haunted  by  the  agony  of  longing  and  unsure  how  to  proceed.  though,  even  in  such  despair,  anórien  is  still  heir  to  much  mischief.  the  likes  of  which  dance  in  visage  of  dark  eyes  and  endearingly  haughty  grin.  ❛  and,  is  that  how  it  was  you  wooed  naneth?  ❜

taut  bow  string  loosed  with  a  sharp  chuff,  it  strikes  center  and  triumph  catches.  ❛  sounds  awfully  brutish  to  me,  ada.  ❜  he  teases  once  more,  confidence  riding  high  upon  his  bullseye  and  pedestal.  at  least  until  the  object  of  all  his  waking  dreams  and  fitful  reveries  passes  through.  YOUNG  WARRIOR  OF  SUCH  RENOWN  AND  INDOMITABLE  PROWESS  JUMPING  BEHIND  THE  STOCK  OF  FEATHERS  AND  BOLTS.  avoidant  to  the  thrum  of  his  fëa  to  the  detriment  of  his  own  self-preservation.

RESTLESS  SILVER  HARDLY  SETTLES  UNDER  TWILIGHT.  the  pull  of  whetstone  along  the  edge  of  her  blade  soothes  what  wandering  thoughts  often  befall  her.  hereditary  ambitions  and  the  worries  that  follow  assault  her  psyche  from  both  sides  of  a  priceless  coin.  her  father's  voice  was  the  first  she  ever  memorized  outside  her  mother's,  both  hold  power  to  wrench  her  back  from  beyond  the  ever-haunting  veil.  this  night,  she  sings  but  a  hum  in  response.  enchantments  glow  upon  his  approach,  strength  in  her  magic  bound  to  love  of  kin  -  fortified  as  her  soul  made  of  ancient  moon  and  constellation  of  stars.

ancalimë  sets  arms  to  the  side,  EERIE  HUE  OF  GOLD  LIFTED  WITH  FAR  TOO  MUCH  WISDOM.  ❛  the  dead  do  not  find  respite  this  night  either.  ❜  though,  none  would  guess  beyond  the  severity  of  her  carried  quietude;  of  the  storm  that  rises  within.  ❛  and  you,  atar?  ❜  her  mother's  inherited  curiosity  slips  through  the  cracks  of  stoicism  and  with  it,  a  genuine  furrow  of  concern  upon  the  palest  brow.  she  sought  to  read  him,  to  mirror  what  troubles  hound  her  slumber  and  attempt  to  shoulder  where  she  knew  full  well  her  brother  could  not.  ❛  what  troubles  you?  ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜ - @uruuk

WHAT  SEETHES  IS  NOTHING  OF  GRACE,  ANIMAL  IN  NATURE.  A  BOY  NAMED  FOR  THE  MOON  WHEN  HE  BURNS  AS  A  CAUSTIC  SUN  SON.  unfettered  carnage  that  aches  for  release  behind  the  point  of  teeth.  of  course,  he  waits  for  his  mother  to  trail  well  from  earshot  though  not  by  way  of  any  danger,  at  least  anymore.  sought  peace  that  was  more  haunting  than  the  ease  of  violence,  but  there  were  still  minds  fixed  on  loathing.  and  ithilbor  will  loathe  them  with  far  more,  no  reprieve  to  those  who  still  pursued  vengeance.

the  pace  is  halted,  bluest  irises  shine  in  the  remains  of  shadowed  savagery  the  hums  in  the  embrace  of  blackened  uruk  blood.  it  devours  the  flow  of  eldar's  glory.  ❛  how  can  you  stand  so  calmly?  ❜  accusatory  glower,  his  voice  raised  in  smoke  with  the  blade  pointed  eastwards.  YOUTH  STILL  HAUNTS  HIM,  BARELY  BEYOND  THE  EDGE  OF  IT.  the  nuance  of  a  father's  stillness  is  mistaken  for  idleness.  ❛  my  mother  was  nearly  taken  by  wild  men  that  seek  vengeance  against  us-  against  you.  ❜  still,  a  boy  in  spirit  when  he  utters  in  strained  agony.  ❛  their  homes  should  be  razed  from  the  ground  and  turned  to  nothing  but  ash  and  soil  for  ours  to  thrive  upon.  ❜

it's always darkest before the dawn .

we will find new saints to be canonized .

holy water cannot help you now .

the horses are coming , so you'd better run .

i never felt so alive and so dead .

i'm damned if i do , i'm damned if i don't .

i've always been in love with you .

what has been done cannot be undone .

i don't care whether i live or die .

we will never be afraid again .

i feel nervous in a way that can't be named .

it was so far a fall , but it didn't hurt at all .

the saints can't help me now .

i want to find you and tear out all of your tenderness .

sooner or later , the things you love , you lose .

run fast for your mother , run fast for your father .

i like to think , at least , things can't get any worse .

i would give all this and heaven too .

i was in the darkness , so darkness i became .

all my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling .

in order to get to the heart of things , sometimes you have to cut through .

i'll be dead before the day is done .

time after time , i think "oh lord , what's the use ?"

the heart is hard to translate , it has a language of its own .

it was all so strange and so surreal .

i'm not here looking for absolution .

now and then , it seems that life is just too much .

be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers .

if you could only see the beast you've made of me .

pretty little face stopped me in my tracks .

i'm aching to attack .

you want a revelation , some kind of resolution .

it's so easy to say it to a crowd , but it's so hard to say it to you aloud .

i don't want your heart , it leaves me cold .

i am no mother , i am no bride , i am king .

she's a cruel mistress , and a bargain must be made .

well , me and my ghosts had a hell of a time .

with all my education i can't seem to command my heart .

it's a conversation i just can't have tonight .

you left me in the dark . no dawn , no day .

jesus christ , it hurts .

a woman is a changeling , always shifting shape .

the very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most .

i'll cut your little heart out 'cause you made me cry .

i knew that somehow , i could find my way back .

a thousand armies couldn't keep me out .

i'm ready to suffer and i'm ready to hope .

you've got the love i need to see me through .

is this how it is ? is this how it's always been ?

you keep me up at night .

oh , tell me it's not over yet .

no walls can keep me protected .

i'm going out , i'm gonna drink myself to death .

time goes quicker between the two of us .

would you leave me if i told you what i'd done ?

now , there's no holding back .

oh god , you're gonna get it .

you need your rotten heart and dazzling pain like diamond rings .

in the dark , i can hear your heartbeat .

i never knew my killer would be coming from within .

i was never as good as i always thought i was , but i knew how to dress it up .

don't forget me when i let the water take me .

this world is a beast of a burden .

you know i still like you the most .

what a thing to admit .

sometimes i think it's getting better , then it gets much worse .

i'm on fire , but i'm trying not to show it .

you are the space in my bed .

would you have it any other way ?

things go wrong , no matter what i do .

you make a fool of death with your beauty .

now she sleeps with one eye open , and that's the price she'll pay .

they were there when i woke up this morning .

heaven help me , i need to make it right .

until i wrap myself inside your arms , i cannot rest .

when someone looks at me with real love , i don't like it very much .

would you leave me if i told you what i've become ?

i'm always running from something .

it's good to be alive , crying into cereal at midnight .

okay , but let's discuss this at the hospital .

i know everybody lets you down , and i'll do the same .

your heart is the only place i can call home .

i wish to remain nameless , and live without shame .

sometimes i feel like saying "lord , i just don't care" .

i would put my words into poetry for you if i knew how .

if they ever let me out , i'm really gonna let it out .

but know , in some way , i'm there with you .

i've been wandering the streets for days .

don't let them get you down , you're the best thing i've ever seen .

how could anything bad ever happen to you ?

you couldn't have it any other way .

it's the only way i can escape .

what a place to come from .

little did you know your home's really only a town you're just a guest in .

run for your children , for your sisters and brothers .

you can't choose what stays and what fades away .

you'll be sorry that you messed with us .

call me when you need me .

although we stick together , it seems we're stranging each other .

this is as good a place to fall as any .

in your place there were a thousand other faces .

here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope .

lay me down , let the only sound be the overflow .

there's no salvation for me now .

i'd do anything to make you stay .

what's in a name ? i still remain the same .

i've been taking chances , i've been setting myself up for the fall .

tell me what you want me to say .

you are the silence in between what i thought and what i said .

i've been a fool , and i've been blind .

i never knew daylight could be so violent .

regrets collect like old friends , here to visit for your darkest moments .

so you packed your bags just to wait out the shitstorm ?

my doe , my dear , my darling ...

you're my head , you're my heart .

everyone lets you down in this brief hole of a town .

i'm not giving up , i'm just giving in .

i've been losing sleep , i've been keeping myself awake .

sometimes i feel like throwing my hands up in the air .

the only solution was to stand and fight .

i don't know how it started , don't know how to stop it .

i'm done with my graceless heart .

i can never leave the past behind .

do they speak to you ? 'cause they speak to me too .

i thought that love was a kind of emptiness .

it's hard to dance with a devil on your back .

sometimes i wonder if i should be medicated .

every demon wants his pound of flesh .

tell me what all the sighing's about .

could you tell from the moment we met ?

i heard your voice as clear as day ... you told me i should concentrate .

all my girls have their lace and their crimes .

i like to keep some things to myself .

no one asks any questions here .

the feeling comes so fast and i can't control it .

you came over me like some holy rite .

i was screaming out a language i had no idea existed before .

i thought that love was on stage , giving yourself away to strangers .

leave all your love and your longing behind , you can't carry it with you if you want to survive .

i thought that love was in the drugs , but the more i took the more it took away .

i never wanted anything from you , except everything you had and what's left after that too .

i don't want your future , i don't need your past . one grand moment is all i ask .

LIV TYLER as ARWEN UNDÓMIEL Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

[ithilheld]

EOWYN IS STILL GONNA BE IN THIS BLOG, I’m just turning it into a tiny multi mmuwaah

[ithilheld]

ASH  AND  SMOKE  CLOUD  HER  LUNGS,  PUTRID  SHADOW  STILL  BURNS  HER  THROAT.  phantom  pain  that  aches,  idleness  held  atop  an  ivory  tower.  peace  has  yet  to  reign,  so  far  from  reach  and  caught  beneath  the  glowing  eye  of  an  evil  that  deserves  no  sight.  eowyn  begged  a  shroud  of  mourning  to  wear  over  hues  of  healing  light,  her  frame  tucked  against  the  white  of  stone.  she  counts  the  stares  to  mark  rohans  fallen,  a  pair  that  glows  brightest;  uncle  and  cousin  reunited  in  the  twilight.  night  air  crisp  and  suffocating  in  how  she  picks  apart  her  grief.  hazel  gaze;  loam  and  moss  mingled  as  one  gleaming  with  quietly  shed  tears.

HIS  VOICE  DOES  NOT  STARTLE  HER.  softly  spoken  as  it  was,  as  if  no  semblance  of  violence  lived  within  his  bones.  goodness  so  radiant  that  she  is  not  fit  to  warm  herself  beneath  his  light.

if  anything,  it  brings  reprieve  in  familiarity.  a  kindness  that  hangs  over  his  head  as  an  adorning  grace  of  honour.  ❛ you  should  be  resting,  should  you  not?  ❜  the  sheildmaiden  turns  from  her  own  BASHFULNESS  deflecting  attention  from  the  depths  of  her  own  suffering  to  his  instead.  fingertips  blistered  by  the  hilt  of  a  sword  swipe  beneath  her  eyes.

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜

❛ your heart is beating so fast right now. ❜

❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜

❛ you’re not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ i thought you’d like some company. ❜ 

❛ clean yourself up. you're getting blood all over the place. ❜

❛ here, give this a try and tell me what you think. ❜

❛ you can kiss me, you know. ❜

❛ come back to bed. ❜

❛ you look good like this. ❜

❛ working together again, it’s just like old times. ❜

❛ how is it you always know what i need, huh? ❜

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ 

❛ i can’t imagine losing someone like that. i’m sorry. ❜

❛ you know you can always talk to me. ❜

❛ the only one who gets to kill you, is me. ❜

❛ so, what do i owe this pleasure? ❜

❛ ah, so you aren’t heartless after all. ❜

❛ may i have this dance? ❜ 

❛ it’s okay, you can touch me. i won't break. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ hold still. this might sting a little. ❜

❛ we can't keep doing this. ❜ 

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜

❛ just relax and let me take care of you. ❜

❛ thought you’d be lighter without all that blood. ❜

❛ i had it under control. you didn’t need to do that. ❜

❛ everything looks so beautiful from up here. ❜

❛ you treat all your ladies like this? ❜

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

❛ can’t sleep? ❜

❛ do you mind if i smoke? ❜

❛ i’m scared of ending up alone. ❜

❛ i don’t think i’ve ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ how long has it been since you've slept? ❜

❛ you are losing my interest, and that’s very dangerous. ❜

❛ i’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight. ❜

❛ you look really pretty right now. ❜

❛ i’ve never cared for anyone the way i care for you. ❜

❛ i’m not wearing any underwear. thought you’d like to know. ❜

❛ just a few more stitches and you’ll be as good as new. ❜

❛ i’d say we make a pretty good team. ❜

❛ i want you to forget this ever happened. ❜

❛ i'm here for business — not pleasure. ❜

❛ if i didn't know any better, i'd say you were jealous. ❜

❛ you'd look better down on your knees. ❜

❛ fine, keep acting like you hate me. ❜

❛ kiss me again. ❜

❛ are you asking me out on a date? ❜

❛ just sit there and look pretty and let me handle this. ❜

❛ you okay? caught you staring off into space again. ❜

❛ well, i do feel better now that you're here. ❜

❛ i'm not drunk enough for this. ❜ 

❛ why is it whenever we see each other, you’re covered in blood? ❜

❛ i was wrong about you. ❜ 

❛ the first time i met you, i had no idea you'd mean this much. ❜

❛ you gonna be a good girl / boy for me? ❜

❛ i’m not afraid of you. ❜

❛ books mean more to me than people anyway. ❜

❛ i just wanted to say thank you for protecting me. ❜

❛ how about a kiss goodnight? ❜

❛ i don’t have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ 

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜
