If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you’d hope for has come true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time Aragorn will die– and there will be no comfort for you, no comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendor of the kings of men and glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But YOU, my daughter; you will linger on in darkness and in doubt. As night falling and winter comes without a star. Here you will linger, bound to your grief under the fading trees. Until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent. Arwen, there is nothing for you here. Only death.

Okay I know we always go on about Marvel’s uncanny casting ability. 

But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:

Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth

would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity

was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained

occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)

does all his own stunts

lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages

you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away. 

They actually cast Aragorn to play Aragorn

Also he bought the horse they gave him, which he has done more than once.

I was thinking, why hasn’t Lee ever participated to a film or to a series setting in the Middle Ages or something similar? Except in ‘The Hobbit’ as Thranduil, I have never seen him in an armor before or after that and I think it is a pity because he looks really cool in it. I mean, look at him, he’s awesome! I’d really like to see him playing a valorous knight or a great king in a historical movie but without prosthetics or wigs of any sort, just his face and his stout body.

The beeches were their favorite trees. The king’s cave was his palace, and the strong place of his treasure, and the fortress of his people against their enemies.

I watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day yesterday. Lee was so fantastic.

Tolkien would’ve been 124 today. Happy Birthday to the man who gave me a book series that got me through elementary school and a film series that got me through high school. My life is better for having been touched by your works.
