he/they Éomer is sth that can be so important. to me personally

vibrating at a frequency high enough 2 shatter glass my white tree of Gondor bracelet shld arrive today and the little sword charm to replace the one that comes on the bracelet originally. yayyyy yayyy new bracelet

anyways I wanna do more w/ that renfest au + I think I might do sth shorter and Faramir/Éomer focused bc I hinted at stuff wrt The Denethor Incident and I think I’d like to expand on that.

#anyways heyy hiiiiiiii so it leans more towards old Norse than Anglo-Saxon but hybridization between the two cultures was a very real thing #and fun fact. there is a solid scholarly argument to be made for old Norse/‘viking’ culture being a one-gender culture #that is to say you were either masculine or Not Masculine and it was masculine traits that were valued. yet it was more a set of behavior #than outward traits. hence why you find ‘male’ skeletons buried with female items/clothing (which could denote male seiðr practitioners)#there’s also a lot to be said about the bastardization of the term ergi by Christians and what it came to mean vs how it originated #I highly recommend Ocean Keltoi’s video on Asmund and Asvith and the idea that they used legal loopholes to get gay married— Ocean touches #on gender and ergi as a concept as well #Arith Harger also has an excellent video on the term ergi itself and how it changed over time #but all that to say the Rohirrim having a similar behavior-based concept of gender is very important to me #it’s especially interesting to see with Asmund and Asvith like. ‘we were fine with you being gay married but now that your husband is dead #we don’t want you as a king. you’re ergi.’ like. skfhshd #sorry your husband died but no bottoms are allowed to rule. fuck off #being co-kings and sharing all worldly possessions and swearing that when one of you dies the other will join him in his tomb is one thing.#ruling all by yourself when you’ve taken it up the ass is another #< WHICH DGMW IS WILDLY PROBLEMATIC BY MODERN STANDARDS #but it’s also extremely extremely funny #my writing
