#and theodens death

[curiouselleth]

FALL, FALL INTO BED RIDERS OF THEODEN,

SWEET DREAMS AWAIT: OF ELVES AND JOY!

BLANKETS SHALL BE LAID, PILLOWS SHALL BE FLUFFED,

LET THE BLANKETS BE DRAWN BACK, THE ALARMS TURNED OFF!

FORTH, EORLINGAS!

FALL, FALL INTO BED RIDERS OF THEODEN,

PEACEFUL REST AWAITS: HOBBITS AND HOPE!

CURTAINS SHALL BE DRAWN, BLANKETS SHALL BE TUCKED,

A COZY TIME, A SLEEPY TIME, UNTIL THE SUN RISESSSSSSSSS!

SLEEP NOW! SLEEP NOW! SLEEP FOR GONDOR!

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

credit to @maellor, who inspired this by refusing, once again, to go to bed at a reasonable time. and possibly at all I think this is some of my best work.

Hail, Theoden King!

Bernard Hill passed away today, at the age of 79.

I'm rewatching the Two Towers tonight in his memory.

I am so sad to hear about Bernard Hill, he’s done so many amazing roles, he was a fantastic actor, but to me he will always be King Theoden of Rohan.

i feel like the choice rhaenyra laid out for alicent was a bit... on the nose? but at the same time i feel like alicent has felt for a while, lurking in the back and sometimes at the front of her mind, that her sons were only half with her, like they were only half alive. because ever since she birthed aegon her father started pressing upon her that either aegon would take the crown or his sister would take his life. how then could she love either aegon or aemond with her whole heart? and how could she ever have fully reconciled with rhaenyra, knowing the threat her very life posed to her sons?

i really feel for aegon and aemond - despite their various sins - because now more than ever they crave the love of their mother. but she has been preparing to mourn them for a long time now. and through preparing to mourn them, they became easier to sacrifice.

helaena, meanwhile, is no challenge to rhaenyra's claim. helaena is safe to love. but helaena offers cold comfort as she speaks prophecies of doom.

The King of my younger years has passed on.

Hail the victorious dead.

May you rest and your heart sing inspiration to many generations to come.

Courage, Merry, courage for our friends.

return of the king has too many moments that make me want to jump into a pit of lava (ooof sorry) for me to be able to liveblog them all

[hussyknee]

Everyone's talking about King Theoden so I thought to contribute Captain Smith from The Titanic. One of the scenes in movie history that haunted a generation.

RIP Bernard Hill.

Mourn not overmuch! Mighty was the fallen,

meet was his ending. When his mound is raised,

women then shall weep. War now calls us!

super interesting how Denethor's demise has to do not with him lacking information but by the careful, constant exposure to one kind of information and one version of the truth. Also interesting how his pride almost ended Minnas Tirith, but it was his genuine grief that led him to it
