I think often about how when tempted by the ring gandalf and galadriel talk about the nebulous amorphous Great Deeds they would do while boromir talks almost exclusively about how he would save his people. like. dunno man, that’s the kind of shit that makes me want to fucking sob. boromir’s ‘corruption’ is still a desperate and all-encompassing desire to protect and defend. says a lot about a man, i think!

Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition

BROTHER HONOR GUARD

Also details because we all know I love symbolism: Eowyn's carrying Theoden's sword, and she has a Gondorian medal of honor and seabird-wing necklace, while Faramir has a Rohanian crest.

After all the tragedy and trauma, you know--you know--Boromir and Eomer would spend all day being stupid giddy and trying to start shit to cover up for it.

With help from Merry and Pippin

Get him, Eowyn

Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?

Final shot for everyone who's obsessed with Boromir's awesome hugs

Okay I have to stop for now or I'm gonna miss a plane, byeee

Next installment of Lord of the Rings AU: It's Fine, Everybody's Fine is Aragorn's coronation, at which Boromir W E E P S:

I think in a circumstance where Boromir lives, or even just in interacting with Faramir in canon, Aragorn would be very aware of the optics of striding in out of the wilderness to take a throne that the line of stewards had been fighting and dying for in his absence (Thorongil cosplay aside). Cool thing is, in this AU, seeing the king's throne filled and experiencing Gondor at peace for the first time in living history is more than Boromir EVER hoped for.

The day the White Tree sapling blooms, Aragorn wakes up Faramir and Boromir like a six-year-old on Christmas:

And then there's that FIRST SUNRISE over the Mountains of Shadow, when day breaks over a defeated east that's clean and clear and Boromir WEEPS AGAIN because he NEVER THOUGHT he'd see such a thing and YES this is a THIRST TRAP why do you ASK

Hell yeah I gave him a tattoo, it's the seven stars of Gondor plus a coastal rockrose that grows in sandy soils along the Mediterranean because I figure that's like Dol Amroth in honor of HIS MOM because I LOVE SYMBOLISM

[the-old-fashioned-girl]

do you ever think about how the hobbits keep referring to Aragorn as Strider long after they know his real name

No one else outside of Bree calls him Strider. it's the hobbits' name for him. This is such a mundane detail but I love it's a consistent thing throughout the books.

'You are a Wood-elf, anyway, though Elves of any kind are strange folk. Yet you comfort me. Where you go, will go. But keep your bow ready to hand, and I will keep my axe loose in my belt. Not for use on trees,' [Gimli] added hastily, looking up at the tree under which they stood. 'I do not wish to meet that old man at unawares without an argument ready to hand, that is all. Let us go!'

i adore how gimli and legolas’ friendship progresses, and gimli not wanting to insult the trees is both v sweet and v sensible (which makes sense, as he is a v smart fellow)

[legoflas]

aragorn, at the council of Elrond: it's such a relief that the creature Gollum is securely locked up in Mirkwood

legolas:

[tolkien-feels]

Gimli’s talent to make any tense situation worse is admirable

[ach-sss-no]

I think this is my favorite aragorn moment

hama: put aside your weapons

aragorn: I like this sword tho

hama: the king said no sword

aragorn: i’m a more important king than he is, actually. ahem.

gandalf: dude this is his house just put down your sword

aragorn: okay. normally i would be reasonable about this, but, hear me out. i really like this sword.

gimli: should i just start killing people??? i feel like that would help

[roselightfairy]

Legolas and Gimli’s shared trait is to be ride or die for their friends even in a very stupid situation which somehow always seems to be surrounded by heavily armed Rohirrim?

Also this scene cracks me up so much because of the sheer arrogance here haha reluctant king who? Not Aragorn!

[matrose]

love gimli & legolas! they had basically every opportunity to be extremely tragic…everything between them couldve turned out horrible and sad and they couldve torn apart by the way they were raised, by their history, by their family but instead they love eachother so much!!! no thank you tragedy pick someone else 😌

most romantic lotr quotes btw. to me

Treebeard, addressing Saruman: He who is last to laughing laughs most loudly!

Merry: What Treebeard did to that sentence is what we’re gonna do to you!
