Friend, mutual, beloved.

I am having Feelings about Eowyn of Rohan and the "what do you fear" exchange and I have no place to put them to avoid becoming a puddle of overwhelm on the floor of a storage closet in Retail Hell.

*ugly cries all over your dash*

*vibrating with excitement* hi, my friend!! You have come to the right place. I am literally always having feelings about eowyn. God, where do i even begin abt that exchange?? Honestly, i LOVE this convo sm bc i relate to it. I know that feeling of desperation and of anger all too well. I’ve stood in her place & i’ve felt it in my bones. It has me in such a chokehold even now. Top three eowyn moments for sure. Perfectly encapsulates what i love abt her. Not to mention miranda otto’s excellent acting in this scene. Her eyes express her feelings sooo well. The resentment. The bitterness. The anger. The despair. You can feel everything she’s felt, she feels about her life and the ‘duty’ that has been imposed on her in your veins.

Here, look at a couple of lines of hers, what a badass:

“All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.”

“But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him.” Look at that quiet determination! How can u not be in love w her?!

Don’t even get me started abt her character arc, it’s my fav in all of lotr and we’ll be here all day if i start talking lol. Anyway, i’m SO glad u sent this message <3. Hmu if u wanna chat abt her, i’m always up for it. Also, thank u for giving me this chance to ramble on lolll i’m sure you didn’t ask for this.

*rushes to look up some posts to share with you* keep an eye on your dash, snazz, imma reblog a bunch of posts abt her
