love is a sacrament best taken kneeling. 20s. married to my lord. minors dni.

Knights with body modifications, please.

Knight with a house crest carved into their backs. An order where all members have their tongues pierced with a jewel that burns should they lie. Body modifications that are not even possible outside of fantasy.

I feel like I see a lot of Aramir where Boromir struggles with internalized homophobia while Aragorn is more or completely comfortable with himself and was raised in a much more supportive environment. And I get it. But alternatively.

Give me a Boromir who's comfortable with this part of himself. Give me a Boromir who's been going to Gondor's queer taverns since he was a young soldier. Give me a Boromir who's helped his little brother through his own struggles with their homophobic father and told him: you're supported. You're loved. You're perfect as you are. I'm just like you. Who's showed Faramir all the places that helped support him and make him feel comfortable with himself even if he's not comfortable being out to his father.

Give me an Aragorn who's been raised by a bunch of old, stuck in their ways elves who are probably dealing with the same issues they're passing down to him. Give me an Aragorn who has yet another piece of himself he's been running from all his life. Give me an Aragorn who knows there are people out there who are okay with this but has never had the courage to tell anyone, to hear those words said to him.

Let this be the bridge. Maybe Boromir doesn't know what he thinks about the whole king thing, but he does recognize this. He sees his own and Faramir's struggles in Aragorn's eyes, and he knows what he said to help his brother, what other people said to help him. Let Boromir help Aragorn along the path to accepting this part of himself, just as he'll eventually help him get to the point of accepting his destiny.

(And if this just so happens to distract him from the call of the Ring, well that's just an added bonus.)

Let this be said and forevermore remembered:

Black & Brown knights have ALWAYS existed. I see far too little remembrance of that, and we should all be vigilant to celebrate all facets of knighthood. Black & Brown knights are beautiful and worthy of our attention and time.

Fat knights have ALWAYS existed. Thin knights are well and good, but being large and muscular (which is inherent to being fat) has always been a boon on the battlefield. Fat knights are handsome and worthy opponents.

Female and non-binary knights have ALWAYS existed. Knighthood is posed as a boy's club far too often, but knighthood is about your honor, allegiances, and chivalry. No part of knighthood requires being a man or being male. Lady knights and non-binary knights are just as capable and honorable as their brothers in arms.

Consider what biases you have and work against them - our siblings in arms are owed respect and inclusion.
