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.

I just don't understand boromir haters. Most of them likely haven't even read the books and just because he made a few mistakes in his life he's now unforgivable? They don't even have good reasons, it's just things like "o he tried to kill frodo" or "he was being selfish and wanted the ring for himself" like what?

He did not want the ring for himself. He wanted it to protect his people who very likely had the most damage because they are so close to mordor. And in the books he only commented about it once (except for the end). I love movie boromir but I hate how they make it this huge thing where he just constantly is thinking about the ring. Not to mention he was around the ring for at least two months. There were so many others who gave into the ring after only just seeing it. I think the ring was trying to specifically get him to try and take the ring. Seeing as it probably knew he was the most vulnerable to it because of everything else going on in his life (e.g his people and cities dying, the pressure from his father, everything with faramir, ect,)

Boromir is not a bad person. Yes, he makes mistakes, yes he's prideful. But that doesn't mean you can't forgive him, he repented, and without him where would the fellowship be? Aragorn wouldn't have known what happened to the hobbits, therefore Merry and Pippin would probably be dead. There's just so much he did for the people he loves, and if you think otherwise then that's your loss.

i love the movie's relationship and development of Aragorn and Boromir so much

like hear me out (i know it must have been done so many times before on this website but guess what i'm rewatching lotr tfotr today)

Aragorn is a lonely ranger, he bears the weight of his heritage on his shoulders while strongly rejecting it. He does not believe he is the next King of Gondor even tho he's the ONLY ONE who can claim the throne. He's desperately alone, in opposition of the WHOLE kingdom of Gondor.

And Boromir is suspicious of this heir to the throne who never fought for his kingdom, who was NOT there to take back Osgiliath, and yet who could claim everything as his own. Of course he questions the legitimacy of Aragorn!

And yet, Boromir witnesses the bravery, rightness and brothership of Aragorn in the Moria, and opens up about his fears about the future of Gondor against Sauron's legions in Lothlorien. And then Aragorn is allowed to bond with his people for the first time, which I believe is a necessary step to face his destiny later in the trilogy. To feel somewhere else than in opposition to the Gondor.

But it's not over !!! Aragorn and Boromir argue one last time before the fellowship breaks apart. Aragorn calls Minas Tirith 'your city', positioning himself in opposition again, and Boromir questions once again his legitimacy.

And THEN every aspect reaches its climax with the death of Boromir, Aragorn swears to not let the kingdom fall, assuming its responsibilities, and Boromir accepts him as brother, captain and king

I'm not crying, you are.

Lord of the Rings- as ponies!! bc i am lowkey getting hyper fixated on My Little Pony (gen4/fim), and I AM hyper fixated on Lord of the Rings,,,, (mostly the Hobbit tho, so, yknow, watch out, probably more to come)

Gandalf is an alicorn- his wings are under his cloak (fact few know/care about). Very powerful

Frodo is a unicorn- very weak and limited magic though (levitation of smaller objects, little light- not much more, and it takes embarrassingly much focus and energy), because he grew up in the peaceful shire and deemed other things more important(he can easily write with a pen with his horn though!!)- he is part of the hobbit subspecies, hence the bigger hooves and extra fur near them :3

(same for Sam, Merry and Pippin, minus the unicorn part)

Aragorn “evolves” into an alicorn once he is crowned

Legolas is an alicorn, though not strong- the time of the elves (tall and slender) is nearing its end

Gimli is a super strong dwarf pony<3

Boromir is an earth pony :3

i was thinking that 25% (maybe less lmao) of Men get to be pegasi, but the people of Rohan are MAINLY pegasi- since horses can’t be their speciality anymore, rip

This was the result of me wanting to practice sketching ponies and also have fun😌 So it’s not a masterpiece lmao

I am far from happy with the Hobbits’ cutie marks but😭 ain’t that just the way😔

Here’s the solo jpegs<3

And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out. — LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (2001)

The hold that the Lord of the rings world has on the people has to be studied.

My local theater is reshowing the movies. Yesterday the first one, the second one next week and the third one the week after that. I bought my ticket over a month ago and there over half of the tickets were already sold.

When I got to the theater yesterday the place was packed. So many people from 12-50+ years they were all there. They all came together so many people with so many differences to watch the movie.

For 3 1/2 hours I sat in a full theater room not a single seat not not taken and we all found one thing we all have in common: our love for these movies.

We laughed at the same time, we had Goosebumps, we enjoyed the movie at the same time.

So many people with so many differences came together and watched the one movie that connects us all.

(btw I have tickets for all the movies (yay))
