Aragorn said, "You have my sword."
Legolas said, "You have my bow."
Gimli said, "You have my axe."
Gandalf didn't say, "You have my staff," because it's Gandalf, not his staff, that's powerful, and besides, I think it was pretty well established for the Hobbits by now that Gandalf was on their side.
But what did Boromir offer? He was, in a way, the odd one out. He was new to this whole Hobbit thing. He struggled to grasp the reason for this whole mission. Some may have been unsure at first if he was really dedicated. They may accuse him of being less noble than Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, especially because he briefly fell to the Ring's influence.
But when all was said and done, what Boromir offered was the most touching. No, he didn't offer his sword or his shield or even the horn of Gondor. But in the end, in the moments that counted, even though Frodo wasn't there to see or hear it, Boromir's deeds declared:
"You have my life."

the four hunters 🗡🌿
extras + rambles below cut
yipeee i finally finished this illustration 🎉🎉
this is my personal take on the hunters gang (we will ignore that boromir died). honestly, i had a lot of fun thinking of the designs.
had to bring back my aragorn with his silly braid and blue hair ribbon. he's a ranger for most of his life, so he'd definitely go for practicality and what he's already familiar with—so no armour nor gambeson. he probably had a small fight with elrond before they left for the quest; where elrond tried to make him swap his gear for better, newer ones and aragorn just adamantly refusing because he's a lot more familiar (and more comfortable) with his own. which is why he's wearing tattered and worn rags. his red tunic is the only new thing he allowed elrond to swap to a new one. boromir definitely got exhasperated and somewhere down the line, he loaned aragorn his pair of arm bracers.
boromir (and faramir's (not featured here)) design changed a lot since the past years. it's a mash-up of both movie!boromir and lore accurate book!boromir. his hair is a lot darker and he has more of a storm blue-grey eyes as a nod towards his elendil ancestry. his clothing is heavily based off the movie. as for his cloak; since he's The son of gondor and denethor's favourite, i think he'd definitely get the fortune of wearing a fur cloak. the clasp has the white tree engraved on it.
gimli is by far my favourite. i always wanted to draw my take of gimli in his regalia. as a dwarven royalty, i think he'd groom his hair and beard really well, and he would've put on a lot of accessories to show his status. but since he's on a quest, he's not fully decked out in jewelries—wearing very practical clothing: gambeson with chainmail underneath. also, i like the dwarven fighting style they did in the hobbit movie where they go around and knock people off with melee. so gimli got hefty arm bracers and knuckle weights to really punch the shit out of some orcs.
for legolas; i think despite being an elf, he has the factors of being (1) mirkwood elf and (2) lowkey autistic coded. so he doesn't dress "like an elf"—not that the company would've known, with how limited their interactions with elves in general already. this meant that he dressed too casually despite going on a life-or-death quest. very light leather armour to support his speed and agility. he's not even wearing boots; just a pair of tree-climbing canvas shoes that he wrapped tightly. god knows how he survived this far. he's mostly a right handed archer—but since he lived for quite a long while, he taught himself to shoot with left hand too for emergencies. since his left hand isn't as stable as his right hand, he has a left-shoulder-pad.
THEY ALL HAVE SCARS because who doesn't get scars when you're literal warriors be fr. legolas' are more faded out though, because he's old as fuck.

broke: Boromir was corrupted by the ring because he was weak of heart
woke: Boromir was corrupted because his heart was full. full of love for his brother, for Gondor, for Minas Tirith. Does that make his heart weak? Does a heart motivated by passions and the desire to help others make it weak? Is it wrong and evil to be weak? friendly reminder, the way Sauron deceived Boromir was not by promising him wealth, nor power, nor his own safety- he thought he would be strong enough to defend a whole city and defeat Sauron. Boromir had a heart that was neither weak nor strong, but both at the same time- his heart was full.

ON THIS DAY, JULY 4th
Boromir sets out from Minas Tirith to Rivendell
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
'Therefore my brother, seeing how desperate was our need, was eager to heed the dream and seek for Imladris; but since the way was full of doubt and danger, I took the journey upon myself. Loth was my father to give me leave, and long have I wandered by roads forgotten, seeking the house of Elrond, of which many had heard, but few knew where it lay.'

the fellowship as things my sister has said:
Aragorn: “What’s an emo hashtag i can use?”
Legolas: “I keep it on video cuz I like looking at myself”
Boromir: *holding one end of a string while someone else holds the other* “it’s like holding hands but without the commitment”
Gimli: “fight me tofu lady!”
Sam: “no bc i AM the best mac and cheese maker”
Frodo: “now i’m properly medicated and accessorized”
Merry: “I may not know what Alaska is, but I know where the gas tanks are”
Pippin: “Wait are humans mammals?”
Gandalf: “Stop being racist they’re obviously all gay”
bonus: the ring: “i’m not just a burrito, i’m a late night taco bell burrito”

Are you afraid of Scary Bilbo?
Maybe, but ...
Does it change your view of Bilbo's entire character? Does it make you decide Bilbo is evil and corrupt at heart? Does it cause you to deride Bilbo for greed and selfishness in spite of all his heroic deeds?
No?
Then why do you do that to Boromir?
When Boromir tried to take the Ring from Frodo, it was his equivalent to the "HRRAAGHH!!" Bilbo moment.
Think back to the moment when Bilbo at Rivendell asked Frodo just to see the Ring, and in one fleeting instant Frodo saw, not the Bilbo he knew, but "a little wrinkled creature with a hungry face and bony groping hands." The flash of vision scared Frodo so bad he felt a desire to strike Bilbo. Frodo was terrified.
And then the next moment, Bilbo was himself again. The book itself describes the moment thus: "Bilbo looked quickly at Frodo 's face and passed his hand across his eyes. 'I understand now,' he said. 'Put it away! I am sorry: sorry you have come in for this burden; sorry about everything.'"
My friends, this is not that different from what happened with Boromir. He pressed Frodo to show him the Ring, and then became so intense about it that Frodo was terrified Boromir would take the Ring by force. Just like he'd been terrified of Scary Bilbo. Because, just as that was frighteningly not like the true Bilbo, this action was also not like the true Boromir.
Sadly, Frodo did not get the chance to hear Boromir's repentant apology and weeping once the moment of madness had passed. He got to hear Bilbo say, "I am sorry; sorry about everything!" But he did not get to hear Boromir say, "What have I said? What have I done?" nor his confession to Aragorn, "I tried to take the Ring from Frodo. I am sorry."
And what did Bilbo want the Ring for at that point in his life anyway? What would he do with its power? Get revenge on his petty relatives? Acquire riches and pipe-weed to last a lifetime? On the other hand, Boromir wanted the Ring as a final desperate hope to save his city, his home, his family, and his people. Being of a noble heart, he viewed the Ring as the only possible way to protect and defend others. It could be said that he was somewhat selfish and desired glory of his own through his efforts, but then again, wouldn't it be called selfishness for Bilbo to get revenge on the Sackville-Baggins, or store up wealth and riches for himself, or hoard all the pipe-weed he could want? Perhaps he would have had loftier thoughts and intentions to use it against Sauron - but then that would simply be a twin vision to Boromir's.
The point is, no one loses confidence in the character of Bilbo or his true-heartedness because of that one scary moment when he is almost overcome by lust for the Ring. And yet Boromir gets villainized for the same thing.
Say it with me, folks: "Boromir was no more of a villain in his temporary madness for the Ring than Scary Bilbo was!"

As much as I want to say he has a great mic, he doesn’t
He really gives the vibes of having the most crappiest and spotty mic.
“Fr—o- I —— *KSHHH*—- sun——, isn’t that right?”
Frodo: 👁️👄👁️ …. Right.
Despite this, he constantly tries to still use his mic until someone tells him they can’t understand him

Gamer Tag - Str1der
Legolas
Rebuilt a new and improved Greenwood
On his father’s throne, there’s a sign in Elvish that says ‘Doodoo head’
He somehow breaks into Aragorn’s base and leaves silly insults written on a book and quills or signs
Such as “you stupid” “u ugly” “doodoohead” “yo mom” “ur musty”

When I say he was a noob in the first few hours of playing, HE WAS A NOOB NOOB
Aragorn and Pippin had to guide him through

For the life of him, he cannot keep a pet
It’s like bad luck
No matter how hard he keeps the pet safe, they’re always killed
Merry’s graveyard is filled with his previous pets
Swore to never tame another animal
A god at decorating
Whereas Merry is good at building, Merry is horrible at decor. And so, he helped out with decorating Merry and Pippin’s base (which is how Pippin learned how to decorate)
They cornered Legolas and started to do the Crouch bop and begged for him to help out
Legolas will not admit aloud but he found it endearing
He has a soft spot for the hobbits lmao
However, he has shot both Merry and Pippin with potions arrows
Hasn’t killed them tho
Legolas’s skin was made by your truly, Merry
(NOTE: I made this back in likeeee 2021 (?), wrote a huge chunk after this line, forgot to press save, only had it up to here, and I had to just put my phone down. The frustration I felt 😭 Buuut it’s been sitting in my drafts for literally years cuz I was THAT frustrated and had no motivation to try and remember/rewrite what I lost. Was just checking out my drafts and remembered I haven’t finished it. So, Voilà.)
Enjoys annoying Gimli IMMENSELY
Is absolutely helpless when it comes to mining and the Nether. Most of his deaths come from either mining (Falling from tall heights, suffocating from gravel, falling in lava) and the Nether (Again, falling in Lava, trying to kill Pigmen, trying to sleep in the Nether)
As expected, absolute god at archery
Great at parkour and makes parkour in Greenwood
Once the group defeated the Ender dragon, he was the first to use Elytra and LOVES it
Has a good mic but usually forgets to mute himself
Also writes in full sentences, proper grammar and fancy words in chat
Gamer Tag - LEG0_LAS
Gimli
Obviously he’s the miner friend
He’s a proud dwarf, so of course he’s gonna do what his people do best
Rebuilt Erebor/The Lonely Mountain, the Glittering caves/the White Mountains, and The Misty Mountains
Like he really went crazy with the builds
But it was all because he had too much blocks
Makes extremely complicated and vast mines
Even Aragorn gets turned around
They all somehow connect and Merry n’ Pippin get lost every time they try to explore his mines
He has to go retrieve them every time
In the end, he made some rails that directly connect everyone’s bases so that no one (the hobbits) gets lost
An absolute demon at Redstone
Secret doors, bases, and passages
He has A LOT of resources
Collects everything that he mines even if it’s Andesite
He made the Lonely Mountain as a base for all the materials
Literally chests upon chest filled with resources
Trades with the fellowship
The hobbits trade any enchanted books or food for building supplies
Aragorn and Boromir trade meats, wood, and dye for armour and tools
Gandalf trades enchanted books, potions, and exotic stuff he finds for potion materials (lapis, redstone, glowstone, gold, spider eye, coal, etc.) and a place to stay lmao
At the beginning, both Legolas and Gimli refused to trade with each other
Begrudgingly, Legolas began to trade other types of wood and rare items or loot like a Trident for building materials, nether materials and ores once he realized that he was hopeless with mining and the Nether
Enemies to BFFS fr
They do lots of competitions and prank wars
Dabbles in enchantment, makes high quality armour and weapons
Uses an axe for combat
Repairs any abandoned mineshafts he finds
Best builder in the fellowship
Everyone has to spam the chat in order for him to go to sleep for a quick sec
the only times he isn’t underground is when there’s a raid at one of Boromirs villages, trading with the fellowship (and even then, he’ll just send Pip to deliver it or send it in a minecart chest) or group events/quests
Otherwise, he won’t be seen for DAYS
Brings the whole squad down into the Deep Dark to fight the Warden
Has an ok mic, usually fine but occasionally cuts out
Writes in shortened words in the chat
Ur, K, gtg, brb, r, cya
It annoys Gandalf and Legolas
Gamer Tag - G1ml1_Son0f_Glo1n
Boromir
He’s the type to find villages, fix it up and improve it
Turned an Abandoned zombie village into Minas Tirith and healed the zombie villagers
He’s decent at building but not the best with creative builds
Basically only good at building Gondorian architecture and medieval style architecture
Claimed a huge chunk of land that nobody was using and named it Gondor
He looks after numerous villages and maintains them
But likes to visit everyone, tours Gimli’s mines, tries out Legolas’s parkour in Greenwood, stays at Rivendell and helps out Aragorn with whatever he’s doing, and ‘vacations’ at the Shire
(Merry and Pippin mainly drag him into whatever shenanigans they’re up to)
A duo with Aragorn when it comes to adventures
Exploring the Nether, bastions, jungle temples, desert temples, ocean monuments, the deep dark, and the End.
Amazing at combat and PVP
Uses a shield, sword, and occasionally a crossbow
Also has a soft spot for the hobbits
Merry and Pippin definitely exploit the crouch bopping to convince him
He was the one that found Frodo’s secret dungeon underneath his smial
Was secretly a bit freaked out and never said a word until everyone else found out
“Why didn’t you tell anyone?” “I’m afraid Frodo might’ve sacrificed me or something along those lines”
Is constantly gifted flowers by the hobbits
He has no idea what to do with him but felt like he couldn’t refuse when even Frodo and Sam gave him flowers
might think its a bit stupid at first and Completely oblivious to the fact that hobbits like to communicate through the language of flowers
Is secretly flattered tho
Once it got boring when nothings really happened with his villages (he of course already expanded them and built fortifications like walls) he ended up claiming another chunk of unused land and recreated Rohan
He loves Rohan so he couldn’t help himself
Got into horse breeding he was finishing up Edoras
Named his best horse after Faramir
Made roads connecting everyone’s builds and bases
When he finished, that’s when he realized that Gimli already did that but underground
Boromir, exhausted and sounding defeated: “why didn’t you tell me before I started this project?”
Gimli: “how was I supposed to know! I thought you knew the railways were all connected to every base”
Decent mic, you can hear him grumbling in the background as he’s doing whatever
Idk why but he seems to be the type of guy to sneeze like a dad
Temporarily deafens everyone’s ears when he sneezes with his mic on
Doesn’t use the chat
Gamer Tag - B0r0m1r
Gandalf
To be honest, I don’t really see him playing
If he did, it would be on rare occasions and make surprise appearances
Does not have a base
Instead he’ll randomly crash at other people’s bases
The hobbits, Gimli and Aragorn don’t mind
Legolas and Boromir are like 🤨
Collects enchantments and makes looooots of potions
Also makes a ton of potions
Hasn’t died yet
Travels in the Nether like he’s enjoying a stroll in a park
Supplies Merry and Pippin with fireworks
Explores A LOT
Doesn’t really bother with building
Likes to enjoy some good scenery while listening to the peaceful in game music of Minecraft
Has collected all the music discs
He creates a lot of traps/pranks and chuckles to himself as he goes off to find another spot to lay a trap
Because he isn’t on the server often, everyone won’t even think it’s him
Merry and Pippin will often get blamed for Gandalf’s traps and it started a war
As everyone’s fighting it out, Gandalf is watching with a small smile on his face
Doesn’t use a mic
writes the same as Legolas and Aragorn (full sentences, proper grammar and fancy words), but also rhymes his words for fun

“You suffer. I see it day by day.” IMO, this is a very underrated line of Boromir’s in the film, because it shows not only his observant and perceptive nature, but more importantly, his empathy. He knows exactly what it’s like to constantly carry a heavy burden alone on your shoulders. On this level, he actually understands Frodo deeply, and genuinely wants to help him. He really is a well-meaning friend. This particular line isn’t in the book, but it captures Boromir’s essence very well and I think Tolkien would’ve approved of it.
Yes, in the scene he is mainly manipulating Frodo…but we see how the Ring is using Boromir’s empathy against him. “Maybe he won’t suffer if he gives the Ring to me.” That’s actually quite similar to the tactic it uses on Sam, who also offers to carry the Ring to spare Frodo.

Hiii first off I just wanna say I love your writing and i’ve binge-read all your work thank you for keeping me fed 😩😩 <3
I was wondering if you could I could request some cheeky Boromir content? Just headcanons on his habits and his nature, like the little quirks about him. Also potentially how they tie in to an ‘x reader’ style, whatever suits you the best!
Thank you so much!! :))
Thank you! I’m glad to provide some sustenance. I’d die for this man
Boromir headcanons
-I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll restate it here; he is surprisingly socially awkward
-He’s a confident guy don’t get that wrong, especially when discussing strategy, diplomatics, etc
-But casual small talk makes him squirm a bit
-He gives the best hugs and you can’t change my mind
-He runs hot so he is like a heater; cats love him for this reason
-But he is also allergic to said cats but he won’t move them if they sit on him
-I can’t remember who but I saw someone else say that he is dyslexic and I’m fully in board with that
-He is great with kids but horrible with babies
-He talks about his brother constantly; he just loves him so much and is so proud of him
-Decent at drawing but doesn’t do it much
-Maybe only to illustrate a letter to Faramir
-A total lightweight and overly outgoing and friendly when drunk
-He’s kinda a picky eater; he always has been
-He will try other things and will eat what is served if he’s isn’t home but in general he much prefers simple dishes he grew up with
-I think he would be more interested in being an uncle than a father
-Not that he doesn’t want kids; but he would be so excited to find out he was going to be an uncle
-He cannot sit still; his leg always bounces
-He also can’t work sitting down; like if he’s going to write a letter he will be standing even if that means he is awkwardly leaning down to the desk
-Very big on comfort and self-care; he has a silk robe and will lounge in the bath with a glass of wine
-In modern day he would wear Hawaiian shirts
-And shorts in the winter
-He cannot sing; doesn’t stop him though
-He is a passionate and loyal ally to LBGTQ+
-He’s a very good swimmer
-Absolutely loves taking his friends to a secret pond to swim in
-He has no problem with nudity either; so yes they are skinny dipping
-He is very skeptical of magic; like he knows it’s real but he doesn’t really trust it
-He cannot roast marshmallows nicely; he always sets them on fire
-But he likes them completely blackened
-He is very dramatic when he gets sick but will walk off any injury (well almost every injury…)
-He really likes donkeys
-He will always genuinely laugh at dad jokes
-He can braid hair but not his own hair
