#obvs she treats the stories with real credibility but I think a distant fear is different to a tangible one

For the headcanons ask meme, hc + 😡 hc + 👻 hc + 👗, for Faramir, Eowyn or both? :)

thank you for blessing me with more distraction 🙏🙏🙏

😡 something that makes them angry

Éowyn: When people get too casual/too familiar with her too quickly. It really fits into her profile overall (I’m not a serving woman! The witch king hitting her with “thou fool), and I think she’d be rightly frustrated if people think they can talk with her like they’re equals or pals just because they know OF her.

Faramir: Sloppy bookkeeping. I’m not (completely) projecting, I just imagine this will have had an enormously negative impact on his life at many, many points, and so would lead to a small degree of Chill Lost.

👻 about supernatural occurrences

Éowyn: Possibly LOTRO working its influence on me here, but I expect that as a marchwarden-adjacent figure in Ithilien, she probably comes across more than her fair share of ghosts, such that I think she probably moves from seeing them as “super”natural to just straight up natural — and annoying — which is probably a dizzying experience for all the people who are NOT faced with them constantly.

Faramir: A recurring dream he’s subject to — that may or may not be a thin memory — is the spirits of his ancestors surrounding him on the pyre in Rath Dînen. I think his engagement with the supernatural (outwith his own preternatural characteristics) is kinda minimal, but that dream is definitely persistent.

👗for a clothes-themed headcanon

Éowyn: Once she’s married I think she gets well into Gondor’s fashions (which I imagine as Byzantine) because they are better for temperature regulation and she feels they’re both more functional and more befitting her stature — ie. they look fly as fuck. Particular fan of armbands

Faramir: A style we’ll politely call “plausible deniability drama”; neutral colours paired with understatedly flashy silhouettes, or vibrant colours with muted silhouettes. Definitely a bit of arrogance (or pride, I suppose we’ll call it), but never so much that he could be accused of it on the basis of his clothing alone.
