#fellowship of the ring

[emilybeemartin]

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (2001)

[uncursedswan]

Every time I rewatch The Lord of the Rings I oscillate violently between “it’s important to show men having close, supportive friendships and I’m so glad Peter Jackson chose to show all the male characters being loving and physically affectionate with one another in a healthy, platonic way” and “damn, these bitches gay. good for them, good for them”

Happy New Year (2024).

The elves of middle earth having the same “call your dad when you don’t know how to fix a problem” instinct but because they live forever it’s like

Some elf starts experiencing the elven equivalent of car trouble (idk, horse won’t go?) and calls his dad, and then his dad can’t figure it out so he calls HIS dad and so on and so forth until you’ve got this guys entire lineage all huddled together in elven cargo shorts trying to solve a dented horseshoe

Ten Year Redraw, Part II

This is the 2013 piece I really wanted to revisit, pretty much ever since I finished it. I was never happy with the rendering or the composition, and even though the text mention's Legolas' small bow, that bow is, like, stupidly small.

"Legolas turned and set an arrow to the string, though it was a long shot for his small bow. He drew, but his hand fell, and the arrow slipped to the ground. He gave a cry of dismay and fear.

...'Ai, ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'" -The Fellowship of the Ring

2023 Redraw:

I love this scene, because to me, it's the first moment things get real for Legolas. Up to this point, the journey has been no big deal for him, even on Caradhras, but now, suddenly, he's faced with the literal manifestation of nightmares, a monster that's only supposed to live in ancient battle-ballads and ghost stories. You can't sing or snark your way out of this one, smartass!

Happy New Year to one and all! May your 2024 be gentle and kind and bright!

so about that lotr x zelda au...

[daydreamerfallingbehind]

in Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir carries his shield the entire time, symbolizing his role as a protector. he's always looking out for the hobbits and is often one of the first to speak up on their behalf (Caradhras, and after Gandalf's death, for example). however, he leaves his shield before confronting Frodo when he is under the influence of the Ring, essentially abandoning his role as a protector and attacking Frodo (it's also interesting to note that the only time he doesn't have his shield is when he is not himself). when he is back to being himself, he still doesn't have his shield, but he uses himself as a shield to protect Merry and Pippin, back to his role as a protector (causing his death). anyway i'm just thinking about how Boromir's shield is representative of him and his role in the Fellowship.
