#muse: boromir

[menelvagor]

Here with your reminder that Théodred and Boromir died one day apart (Feb 25 & 26) and they were the same age. And they both made very brave last stands.

"Let me lie here - to keep the Fords till Éomer comes!" - T

"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed." - B

Also neat/sad connection here with their last words bestowing some responsibility on others to continue their task they could not complete. So, Éomer and Aragorn. These two soon after (literally days later) meet and become besties and fight several battles side-by-side, even well into the Fourth Age.

UGH! Tolkien, ow.

@thegreatstrongbow asked: ❛it would be a shame to waste such a perfect opportunity.❜

Sexual Tension Prompts.

Cheeks dried from their tears, no longer wet from the sorrows spread, the comfort of Aragorn had done much to bring peace onto Boromir. Settled the troubles of his mind, his inner most spirit; thoughts and woes so awful that they dared not to be spoken aloud. Torments of fire and ash, dead all around, corpses rotted from the inside with hearts still bleeding, full of life and vigor. Good men and women of Gondor, who had sacrificed more than they should, for the sake of everyone who called the lands that surrounded the Fellowship home. From the Misty Mountains to the Shire, Lothlorien a realm that disguised its hurts beneath delicate song and silvered light. Beautiful and breathtaking - strange to Boromir but in the most pleasant of ways, as though he stepped into a world undiscovered before. Voices within his head had ceased for the time. Calmed in their words, deep within the curves and confusions, hope nurtured. Galadriel, kind and fairest lady, dressed in gold and white; Boromir found his smile again.

Disappearance of one friend given chance for the arrival of another, it was the seat beside Boromir that Beleg took, tree-base warmed by the body of Aragorn. Absorbed by the space shared between them, with joy did the two men converse together. About everything and anything, tales of simpler years and the adventures of family, feats of either Man or Elf. Beleg was honest and blunt. Cheerful as he told all stories - from the lips of one first born - the slow recollection of old memories. What had been forgotten but was no longer. What was still yet to be unearthed. Returned to Middle-Earth by the hands of Mandos; there was mention of Turin, beloved brother and friend, an incident of death. Boromir stopped not in his own reminiscence; described Faramir and Denethor, the loss of Finduilas, the gentle people of Minas Tirith, of all Gondor. It was only when his rambles rested, laughter spent on his lips, grin so wide, that it became known that they were pressed so close.

Twisted entire on the tree root that they sat upon, thick and sturdy, knees touching and the cloths of their tunics brushing. So close that Boromir could see the perfection of Beleg's skin; riddled not by the cruelty of the summer sun, smooth in look, tanned. Accompanied by darkened eyes - irises of invitation - memories of childhood, walks during autumn when leaves blew in the breeze. Flickered between brunette and umber, breath nearest his skin awoke a spark in Boromir, coaxed an unexpected shiver, the scent of Beleg. Centuries old but ageless to the touch; something to be yearned for, wholly desired, an invisible string that pulled Boromir ever closer. As though cheated by some spell, the question of a kiss danced in the airs, what was not drawn into Boromir's breathless lungs. Brave suggestion; Beleg stole the words from Boromir, quiet and almost missed themself.

"Yes. I do suppose it would be, Beleg." Boromir agreed, excitement lifted at the end, blush on his face, tongue dragged across his lips, a hunger in his belly.

"I would want nothing more than that - to have your kiss on my lips. But... it's been so long since I've shared in one. All my days have been dedicated to battle and glory; I remember little of what to do."

Boromir promised, moved to Beleg so that no gap laid between, as if their bodies could become one despite the layers on their skins, hands splayed on the tree bark below, a crutch. "And yet, I'd give anything to learn again with you. Beleg, can you not see that I find you beautiful? Not before you have I ever seen a more handsome man; none so brave as you nor as wise. Your kindness to me and our friends, it has only furthered the sentiment. It would be an honor to have your kiss, a pleasure. But take not my words lightly, Beleg. I would not allow our actions of eagerness to shame you or I. A kiss between us, as brothers in the fight we endure, as a soldier committed to his people, it means everything. It cannot be done for foolish sakes. Gods forgive me if we were spotted by our companions, the Lord and Lady! Kiss me now in this vow, or do not give me your taste at all."

"Beleg, let it not be a shame... a wasted opportunity..." Boromir whispered after silence passed, a plea from starved lips, desperate hands. "If it be of your will, as much as mine, let us do as we may. Kiss me, Beleg. Kiss me now; for I can't wait another moment!"

DAUGHTERS OF GONDOR.

boromir has three daughters. because he and their mother are not married, they are considered illegitimate, but boromir loves and cares for them and is open about the fact that he is their father. they lived in west osgiliath until their mother's death, after which they moved to minas tirith for their safety.

AELWYN, the eldest, was born when boromir was still fairly young. she is hardworking and opinionated, but keeps these feelings close to her chest. she is the silent force of the family, keeping them together and things moving, especially after the death of her mother. ( fc : ruby serkis )

MIRANDA was born two years after aelwyn. she is more wild than her sister, and has dreams of being a knight and savior of gondor like her father. she has little patience for the rules of society, and is frustrated that she is considered a bastard because her parents weren't married when she was born, but she lets this frustration fuel her in her pursuit of more. ( fc : millie brady )

CALLIOPE is the youngest of boromir's daughters. of a very delicate constitution, calliope was very dependent on her mother until her death. necessity made her independent, and she became fairly self sufficient after moving to minas tirith with her sisters. ( fc : nadia parkes )

Also still mostly staying off of Tumblr. I let myself check roughly twice a day - yesterday I checked once (ish) more while doing the WIP requests (and may do so later today as I finish them up, if things go according to plan) - but if you're feeling a distinct lack of Bandit presence/interaction here....

That's why.

It's not y'all, btw!

I just. realized I have an unhealthy addiction and am trying to, ah, curb that.

(I've also found that when my mind wants something easy to do, I end up on my phone anyway. I'm trying to train myself not to immediately be on my phone when I'm bored or want something to do with my hands. This isn't going super great. But I'm not checking Tumblr every other minute or getting stuck in a cycle of checking over and over and over, so that's nice!)

Muse questions - I'm gonna direct these at whichever of your LOTRO hobbits seems best suited to answer each!

What is in your pockets/bag/etc. right now? (I mean. How could we not ask this of a hobbit? :-D)

What scares you the most? And if it really happened… how would you deal with it?

Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names? What are they like personality-wise? Can we see them?

Do you have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? Do you go out of your way to always wear it when you can? Why is it your favorite?

What is in your pockets/bag/etc. right now?

Rhianlin: In my bag? *after some rummaging* Let's see.... treats for Rilli(raven comp) and Constance(badger pet), string for my braid.... *more rummaging, interrupted by a whoop of pleased surprise* THAT'S WHERE THAT WENT- a sketch I wanted to give Meneldir but couldn't find last night, some hard tack he gave me in case I get hungry, half an apple, sketchbook and charcoal, jerky.... couple changes of clothes, cornhusk d- figure Tegwyn gave me- it has a stick sword! Isn't that neat?

What scares you the most? And if it really happened… how would you deal with it?

Ziinia: Y'know, I hadn't really thought about that? *laughs* I guess either something happening that keeps me apart from my animals, or something bad happening to my family--there's a lot of us and we're all really close. I like to think I'd keep it together and think of a solution if either actually occurred, but I dunno. I love my family and my animals, so I'm not sure I wouldn't completely fall apart if one of those came to pass.

Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names? What are they like personality-wise? Can we see them?

Siltera: I've picked up a few in my travels. There's Rushes, she's a hound dog, very good for sniffing out mushrooms and following a scent, also loves to sleep. Looks at me with big sad eyes if I wake her early. Puddle is a black cat, doesn't much care what I do as long as I remember to feed her and will spend enough time sitting still she can use me as a seat part of the day. Squall is a crow I found out near Clegur; an avanc had knocked him into some reeds and his wing got caught. I wasn't expecting him to follow me around after I freed him, but he did. He's very good, if a touch mischievous. Likes to let out one ridiculous caw in the wee hours of the morning, just for the fun of it. Sometimes he brings me trinkets, I think in thanks for not shooing him off.

(have wiki pictures of the pets bc I don't have screenies of them myself)

Do you have a favorite article of clothing or accessory? Do you go out of your way to always wear it when you can? Why is it your favorite?

Rhianlin: My blouse. My ma made it for me, an' put lots of pretty embroidery on the collar and sleeves, an' around the buttons. It's very soft and reminds me of home, so, yeah, I wear it a lot. [River Hobbit cosmetic blouse]

Ziinia: My gloves. I picked up these very sturdy fingerless gloves... awhile ago, and they've come in handy for so many things. I wear them just about all the time. [I thought they were anniversary cosmetic, but I don't see them listed]

Siltera: *sheepish smile* Mine's actually a somewhat recent addition that was given to me while I was traveling through Tharbad. *tugs out a sturdy cord necklace with a wolf's tooth hanging from it* It was given to me by a... fellow traveler--all the way from Gondor!--after I helped him retrieve some stolen property. *tucks it away, bites her lip* He was very kind, very courteous, and spun a wonderful story. He called this a lucky charm, and it's certainly proven so for me. [Lucky Wolf's Tooth pocket item from Boromir]

@wrxthfulguard asked: Don was still exploring the Astral Express, eventually finding the archives after remembering Welt's directions to said area... He entered quietly, also remembering that Welt said that a crew member also resides in the archives: A man named Dan Heng. (For my Modern! AU)

Dan Heng doesn't even register that someone's entered the archives, instead remaining silent and seated in one corner of the room as Don wanders inside.

[shinseifer]

I always talk about how Boromir's speech is, in fact, pretty persuasive on the face of it. The plan of sending a lone halfling into Mordor is, to reason and good sense, absolutely raving insane. In any even slightly more cynical and less faith-based work of fiction, including many by so-called heirs of Tolkien, Boromir would have been absolutely right. He was proven wrong specifically by the peculiar moral landscape of The Lord of the Rings. It's an underappreciated aspect of the One Ring how its temptations made sense, when not tempered by such virtues as humility and hope (that are not always considered virtues in modern fiction, not in the same way). Tolkien was not writing about a scary black magic thingie that made you become evil. He was reflecting on the quite real nature of Power as an abstract concept.

you: boromir succumbed to the ring because he was faithless, selfish and the weakest member of the fellowship

me, an intellectual: boromir held such belief in the power of good over evil and the strength of the people of middle earth that he literally believed with enough willpower they could turn sauron's work against him. he was absolutely convinced that with enough goodness and love and solidarity they could overcome the most fundamental evil. the ring used those beliefs and used them to isolate boromir from the fellowship because that's what it does - it takes people's good attributes and uses them to twist them into something serving its own purposes. the ring literally could only corrupt boromir because he was a fundamentally good and faithful person at heart. in this essay i will

“ stay by my side . ” \\ For Pippin, if that's okay!

The wind was cooler, the grass under the rock moss wetter, the sun's rays, however, still tangled its play down the face and curls of reddish brown. No grim day for a traveler. Tobacco circle burns bright orange, smoke collides with cavity delivered by curve of slim-carved stem aged by moons and wayfare. ' What little else to do than gather Celeblam plants nearby. ' - a mere mutter to one's self masquerading behind riches of secondary inhalation. The magnitude of coy dwelled in complete reconciliation that physically any gentleman coming from Shire cannot compete with the power of men, elves, nor dwarves, by stout nor endurance but by resilient pride and slackery alone; speaking of latter he was remarkably good at it.

Other comrades are keen to guard the crossings from afar. Legolas? Was it not his sight that caught the faintest rustling of the leaf miles and miles away? A doughty thought for toll-neglecting Took to let his mind sway in peace instead of peeking one's shoulder per whiff every now and then.

'' I assure you, master shield-slinger, that willingly shall I not run to arms of warfare as long as you stay in my vicinity. " Wording worth a pinky promise. And truly, why would they march directly into superior numbers instead of hastening the other way around?

" I believe this might be a matter for you, " a pipe lifted as an offering to his grin, quirks hidden in each crook of twitching cheek.

⛤ If you have trouble sleeping, she’d force herself to stay up all night with you.

“It’s fine, baby. I wasn’t even tired anyway,” she says red-eyed and half asleep.

⛤ Loves innocent showers together. She’d always ask you to shampoo her hair (and tries not to drift off as you’re massaging the shampoo onto her scalp).

But when she’s applying your shampoo, she’d give you random hairstyles she finds cool. A mohawk is her go-to.

⛤ She drools in her sleep :(

⛤ She’d absolutely be the type of person to hog the swings at the playground. She is SPRINTING for it as fast as she could before a little kid gets their hands on it first.

“Sorry, little dude. I was here first,” she says as the kid’s mother is glaring at her disapprovingly from the distance.

⛤ You can’t watch a film without her comparing you to every hideous character she sees.

“Pfft, that dude looks like you.”

“Uh, Boromir?”

“No. The Uruk-hai.”

⛤ Also, The Lord of the Rings is one of her favorite film series. She’s a huge fan of Star Wars and The Terminator too.

⛤ Forces you to listen to her ranting about her favorite comic books.

“Alright, so then Dr. Daniela joins forces with other characters across the galaxies while trying to prevent the Travelers from wiping out the human race- babe, are you listening?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m listening. Go on.”

“Yeah? What was I saying?”

Shit. “Oh, Daniela Star found this thing, and… I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.”

“It’s okay! I get that the plot can sound a little complicated. I’ll just start over from the beginning again!” 😀

⛤ She has no problem kissing you before you brush your teeth in the morning, but dodges your every kiss if you had even a single sip of coffee.

⛤ Physical touch is her biggest love language.

⛤ When she’s feeling upset, she’ll be extra affectionate with you. Not wanting to talk about her feelings but needing some physical comfort.

⛤ Writes poetry about you in her journal, especially about the first time she met you and how you made her feel. She’d die before you read any of it though.

⛤ Loves to sketch you. Her journal is filled with drawings of your eyes, your lips, your smile. You’re her favorite muse.

⛤ Bonfire dates are her favorite. Just you, her, and her guitar.

⛤ Speaks to toddlers like they’re grown ass adults.

“Don’t you think it’s fucked- sorry, messed up how many atrocities the government has forced us to be complicit in simply by paying taxes?”

The confused kid is just staring at her.

“I think this baby’s deaf.”

⛤ Loves when you scratch her back. She’ll even be bossy with it and guide your hand.

“Lower. No, wait, go up. To the left- I said left.”

⛤ A huge fan of Mortal Kombat. Okay that’s all I got
