#in rohan and gondor

I WISH I COULD WRITE

[emilybeemartin]

Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition

BROTHER HONOR GUARD

Also details because we all know I love symbolism: Eowyn's carrying Theoden's sword, and she has a Gondorian medal of honor and seabird-wing necklace, while Faramir has a Rohanian crest.

After all the tragedy and trauma, you know--you know--Boromir and Eomer would spend all day being stupid giddy and trying to start shit to cover up for it.

With help from Merry and Pippin

Get him, Eowyn

Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?

Final shot for everyone who's obsessed with Boromir's awesome hugs

Okay I have to stop for now or I'm gonna miss a plane, byeee

The way I would actually die for Faramir and Eowyn.

Never forget that it took Éowyn 2 seconds to recognize Faramir’s worth upon meeting him. I could go on and on about how he’s the first person outside her family to truly and completely respect her but it goes both ways! Denethor never ever saw Faramir’s worth in all his lifetime, but Éowyn took ONE look at him and was like “wow he’s great.” They’re BOTH so GOOD for each other!!

“… it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still.”

I would rather spend a lifetime with you, than face all the Ages of this world alone.

Some of you weren't there when the Westfold fell and it shows.

so, a few months ago, i posted a silm family tree which excluded everyone in between elros and arathorn ii, aragorn's father. i have since rectified this, and added the line of stewards, kings of rohan, and princes of dol amroth.

the families are colour-coded, and i'm sure it won't be too difficult to figure out. however, the slate gray-ish colour is bonus characters, who don't have a big enough family for a colour, or are unassociated. please tell me if i missed anyone.

(and since tumblr destroys pixels, close-ups under the cut)

I know some people don't like the concept of these four meeting prior to the events of LotR, but I DO and THIS IS WHY

[alexandra-scribbles]

Humanity peaked when Viggo Mortensen was cast as Aragorn in LOTR.

We’ve gone downhill ever since.

The weirdness of the Dúnedain is definitely downplayed in the fandom, but I really don’t think people get how strange Gondorian Dúnedain must seem to the Rohirrim.

There’s a spooky mountain on their border full of ghosts that are trapped there because a Gondorian king cursed them. In the war of the ring the Gondorians talk of their head of state being prematurely aged because his hair began to grey in his 60s. They put this down to him mind wrestling an evil demigod, and they’re right! Some of them can actually read minds, others can command horses with only thought. They’re very tall and have bright eyes that are sometimes described as glowing.

This is very weird! Their main ally is ruled by giants who age weirdly and look like elves with strange powers from a drowned continent.

Y’all are too hard on Éowyn for marrying Faramir as if having a husband will somehow strip her of her individuality.

Have y’all MET Faramir? This is NOT a guy who saw the attractive Princess of Rohan from afar and was like “I want her to be my ball and chain.”

This is the guy who fell in love with her while she was at her lowest, physically and mentally. He fell in love with her when she was beaten, exhausted, weary, wounded, grieving, and depressed. He fell in love with her when he found out what she did on that battlefield. He fell in love with a kindred spirit, the only person who could truly understand him and his own sufferings. He saw her for exactly who she was - someone strong and brave and bold and unconventional and independent - and that is what he loves about her. When he says “you are beautiful,” he is speaking to her soul too, and not just her face.

As her husband, he will only dote on her and seek her opinions on everything. He already treats her as an equal and cultivates her true self; who says he’ll suddenly stop doing that when they’re married? He would rather die than suppress or hold back the powerful mind and spirit that he fell in love with in the Houses of Healing!

If he was like most other men, would she have married him? Heck no! She has standards, and he meets them.

She married the only guy who would ever let her be herself. This girl got it right. She did not settle, and her being with him does not take anything away from her.
