logging back in because i'm thinking about these parallels again

🇬🇧"The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time. Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth Èorlingas!" As emblematic as Narsil or Sting, and just as tied to its bearer, is Herugrim, the sword of the king of Rohan Théoden. And, for me, one of the most beautiful works of forge and blacksmithing ever designed. The detail of the horse heads, the singularity of the pommel, the filigrees, the Nordic-inspired blade…. It's one of those designs that always haunts my mind, and, despite it being a challenge, I felt it was a natural next step in my leather carving and moulding skills. It's been six months of slow progress in my free time, but I couldn't be happier with the result.

🇪🇸 "El cuerno de Helm resonará en el abismo una última vez. Ha llegado la hora de empuñar juntos el acero. Coraje despierta. Ahora por ira, holocausto y rojo amanecer. ¡A por ellos, Èorlingas!" Tan emblemática como Narsil o Dardo, e igual de apegada a su portador, es Herugrim, la espada del rey de Rohan Théoden. Y, para mí, de las más bellas obras de forja y herrería jamás diseñadas. El detalle de las cabezas de caballo, la singularidad del pomo, las filigranas, la hoja de inspiración nórdica… Es otro de esos diseños que rondan siempre mi cabeza, y, pese a ser un reto, he sentido que era el siguiente paso natural en mi habilidad de labrado y moldeado del cuero. Han sido seis meses de avance lento en mis ratos libres, pero no podría estar más contenta con el resultado.

Today, we mourn Bernard Hill (King Theoden). May he rest among the halls of his father 😔

Bernard Hill said once that he came up with the line, “No parent should have to bury their child.” And, no, it’s not canonical, but it’s absolutely what the story needed. It’s what the character needed. Hell, it’s what we needed. It’s a better and more compelling and more relatable and more moving and more empathetic film for having that emotion expressed. It was such a simple idea, but such an important one. And we needed him to get it. May the simbelmynë always bloom on your place of rest, Mr. Hill.

Bernard Hill was a legend. He infused Theoden with so much warmth and strength. His kindness to Merry, his love for Eowyn, his grief for his son, his guilt over his failures of king, yet his aura of power, his commanding presence, and his undeniable might as a warrior, made Theoden a compelling and beautiful character.

"I go now to my fathers, in whose mighty presence I shall not now feel ashamed."

One of my favorite characters and he is such an underrated one, honestly the films would not have been half as good without his iconic moments.

This one I did today

This one I did back in 2023, in November

"So it is before the walls of Minas Tirith that the doom of our time will be decided."

I'd just like to say that I LOVE THEODEN MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM

And no more despair.
