Tolkien is for Horse Girls

The place blog where I will unapologetically info dump about my horse and my Lord of the Rings hyper fixation.

More Rohirrim nonsense ;)

Háma and Fréaláf in the war of the rohirrim are so gorgeous omg

[ridingforrohan]

The character design for this movie went hard, but where's Haleth? He deserves a spot on this.

I hate the trope War of the Rohirrim went with of having Héra be "not like other girls". I want to see a version of Rohan where all the women are fell and fair. Which is why most of the men are so well behaved, they were raised by scary women. More shield maidens please!

Galadriel is basically a Rohiric creepypasta like

Eomer: "Don't go into the Scary Woods, there's a scary woods lady in there and she'll get you"

Gimli: "Actually I already went there and met the scary woods lady and she was cool, she gave us all free t-shirts and other similar prizes"

Eomer, glancing nervously over his shoulder: "So you admit that there is a scary woods lady"

I think pulling a man out of armor before you sleep with him offers the same sort of delayed gratification and carnal enrichment as removing a crab's shell before you eat it.

Ides of March? no no you misheard me I said Rides of March. On this day we ride onto the Pelennor Fields to meet the armies of Mordor in battle. The stabbing of a guy is still relevant tho.

Following through with the idea of Faramir and Éowyn taking Gollum in, which would naturally result in an insert-some-kind-of-trope uncle situation. And then, Boromir and Theodred would join Sméagol and Éomer after whatever vacation they've been having. So many uncles! Everyone's an uncle!

[ridingforrohan]

Your portrayal of these characters is incredible. I always love to see dark haired Boromir and Faramir.

[iggyfing]

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

[figtreeandvine]

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

How popular (as in how many people like this character) is your tolkien blorbo? Just use your best estimation :)

Extremely popular. Even non Tolkien fans may like them

Quite popular but only within the fandom

Middling popularity. The name is known but the fans are less common

Not very popular. People dislike them for a variety of reasons

I and maybe a select few are the only fans of my blorbo

Finally got to have my Rohirrim moment IRL. I have the best horse.

[rainbeew]

One of my favorite parts of the Return of the King books. Faramir and Eowyn share a kiss on the walls of the city for all to see.

I may have to take a break from tormenting my latest romantic interest to finish the fic for the exchange I signed up for in August. I put it off for months and now it's due in 4 days!

[ridingforrohan]

I cannot even begin to tell you how much the fics that show up under the War of the Rohirrim tag disappoint me some days.

Heyyyy trick or treat! 🦇🦇

Heyyy!!! Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

I’m not sure what kind of treats I have to offer. I’m no artist, and I’m not slick enough to turn a fic around in short order. So here’s a Rohirric word I made for fun instead!

Stiþbroc (or stithbroc if we’re using modern English letters): Literally, it means “firm ass” and the women of the Mark use it to refer to the guys who have the best butts.

Théodred finds it slightly mortifying to hear himself called a stiþbroc. Éomer pretends that he does, too, but secretly he loves it. Elfhelm — who in his 60s is still doing quite well for himself, he hasn’t been in a saddle for half a century not to have a great ass — absolutely LIVES for it and will give a little shimmy or bend over unnecessarily just to give the ladies a show whenever he hears it.

Hope you enjoyed! It’s always a pleasure, and I hope you have a great holiday!!! ♥️
