Hi, it's me again, and I also have another request if you don't mind. Could you please write something about the Lotr Characters (or just the Lotr Men, as in the race of men) with a s/o who wasn't shown much affection in their youth and so is really confused and flustered when receiving it as an adult? Like maybe their s/o is sick and gets up to make themselves food, and is really confused when their love interest says that they'll just make food for them because nobody really did that for them as a kid? That kind of scenario. And the characters' reactions to their s/o being so unused to being taken care of, basically.
That's a bit of an angsty scenario but I hope you don't mind. Please take care of yourself and have a good day!
Hello again for your second post! First of all, thank you for wording your request so respectfully, I really appreciate it. I’m putting this under the “angst” tag as well as “hurt/comfort”, which is one of my favourite flavours to write. I hope you’ll enjoy the read!
･ﾟ✧ Boromir.
When you hurt your shoulder during a sparring session with Boromir, it is only natural for your prince charming to take care of your bed and food. His matter-of-fact care in this situation irritates you. “But you’re hurt. You should rest. Let me take care of everything.” – “But it was my mistake,” you insist, as if that would change anything for Boromir. He loves taking care of you, though he is a bit afraid of the kind of past that has made you so hard towards yourself and your own needs. He thinks about this a lot, oftentimes in bed, just staring at the stars.
.
･ﾟ✧ Aragorn.
Aragorn will stop dead in his tracks if you ask him to “no longer coddle you”. Hands raised but not leaving your side, he will calmly inform you that your wounds had not yet healed and that he would need to take care of you for a while longer. Because of his great intuition and insight, he will touch upon your childhood on his own accord and assure you that everything was fine – you are safe with him. His kindness is greater than any guilt or shame inside your chest. With someone as understanding as Aragorn, is it easy for you to open up about your fears.
.
･ﾟ✧ Éomer.
Éomer learns quickly that you expect nothing of others and that you are very hard on yourself. At first, he thought he could learn to respect your declines whenever he offered you help with the horses or the food. “You do not need to do this for me.” – “But what if I want to?!” One day, it just breaks out of him like that. He is more desperate than angry, though he cannot help but feel a nebulous anger towards those you have estranged his beloved from their own needs like this. More than anything, he wants to see you treat yourself with kindness, no matter how hard the road to this goal might be – he’s by your side.
.
･ﾟ✧ Éowyn.
At first, Éowyn is very irritated when you decline her offers to help you with your broken ankle. “What do you mean, you’ll draw a bath for yourself? You can hardly stand up! I’ll do it, and I won’t hear anything about it.” She is stubborn in her help, but never angry. Because of her relentless and gentle pragmatism towards you, you begin to soften – at least when it’s Éowyn. It takes you a surprising amount of strength to accept help and kindness from others, but each time, Éowyn is there to comfort you, commenting on the progress you’re making if you feel like talking about it. She is proud of your growth.
.
･ﾟ✧ Faramir.
With a childhood as difficult as his own, Faramir quickly recognises the patterns in your behaviour and is frightened by how familiar they are to him. His unfeeling father has instilled in him a belief system not unlike your own. His heart breaks as he realises this – he is shocked to see his beloved like this and feels helpless. This only changes when he finally talks to you about your constant declines and irritated reactions to favours. “There is nothing to ‘repay’,” he will assure you. With Faramir opening up about his own childhood, it becomes easier for you to rethink your own behaviour and to be kinder to yourself.
Hi! If requests are still open, could you please write something about how the Lotr Characters (or just the men of Middle Earth) would react to their s/o being really easily flustered? They're not particularly shy or anything, but they do get super red in the face and start stuttering when receiving romantic affection.
I hope you had a good Holiday experience, and I love your writing so much!! Take care
Thank you very much! So happy to hear you enjoy this blog ♡ From your other ask I inferred that you mean “men” as a race, which I found interesting to work with. I hope you enjoy your post! Take care!
･ﾟ✧ Aragorn.
Seeing you easily flustered – even over the smallest of attentions – surprises Aragorn at first. When he romantically confessed his feelings to you during a starry night, holding your hands in his, seeing you become so red has taken him aback. However, he does not find this quirk of yours strange or tiresome, and he will defend you in front of others making fun of your stutter, naturally. In fact, seeing you easily flustered makes him feel better about his own insecurities as well. He loves your blushing cheeks!
.
･ﾟ✧ Boromir.
Here’s a truth Boromir would never admit to out loud: He has a lot of fun making you blush and stutter – and he knows how to do it, from a well-timed glance, over romantic handholding, all the way to grand declarations of love. He adores the way you avert your eyes and stumble over your words and loves to use the opportunity for quick kisses. This is all in good fun though, as Boromir would never intentionally try to embarrass you. He’ll pull you in for a warm hug afterwards.
.
･ﾟ✧ Éomer.
When Éomer had first touched your wrist to check if it had been broken after you fell from a roguish horse, your heart had jumped out of your chest, blood rushing to your head. Initially, Éomer had thought he did something wrong or, even worse, hurt you. This causes things to slow down between the two of you. But eventually, the man realises that you simply blush easily when you are around someone you love – which, as he understands as he’s stroking hair out of your red face, is great news for him!
.
･ﾟ✧ Éowyn.
Éowyn is fascinated by how easily you blush and stutter, even when she simply calls you “my love”. She has never been with someone so receptive to her romantic advances, which she regards as a great honour and privilege. She is adamant about you never apologising for your quirk. Because she herself tends to stumble over her words when she is excited, you feel comforted around her, further falling in love with this Shieldmaiden who is wearing her heart on her sleeve ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Faramir.
You and Faramir truly are a special match: While he usually falls quiet when you give him romantic attention, like holding his hand or pulling him in for a kiss, you start bubbling excitedly whenever he does the same for you. Faramir smiles and kisses you then. The truth is that your adorable reaction makes his heart skip a beat – he loves the way your cheeks colour and how you speak your mind, no matter how small the gesture between you two. With Faramir, “I love you”s come easy and in all kinds of forms.
I love your headcannons, thank you very much. How do you think fellowship would react if a reader saw two cute animals and said, "Oh, it's you and me!"
Thank you very much! I’m happy to hear you enjoy this little blog ♡ Another animal request, with another anon who asked for this, too – this prompt is super cute, I hope I did it justice!
･ﾟ✧ Aragorn.
You’re gazing at a golden twilight forest with Aragorn when you spot two deer in the distance. Just like you, one rests its head against the other. “Look,” you chuckle quietly, “it’s you and me.” Aragorn smiles as he follows your gaze. When one of the deer nuzzles the other’s ear, he, too, leans in to give you a kiss. “What an uncanny resemblance, my love,” he says and pulls you even closer.
.
･ﾟ✧ Boromir.
Boromir is scandalised when you suggest that the two cats crossing your path are “just like you and me.” He has heard stories of the ruthless Gondorian queen who used felines as her spies and flinches when one of the cats hisses at him. You go to pet it instead, and it softens and purrs – just like Boromir does when you caress him – but you don’t say that part out loud ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Frodo.
You and Frodo share a cool carafe of strawberry lemonade when two butterflies flutter to the flower field beside you. “Look at those,” you say, “they’re just like you and me.” – “Sharing a delicious drink in the sunlight,” Frodo agrees with a dreamy smile. You keep watching the butterflies until one of them flies right into your face. “It gave you a kiss. I shall do the same,” Frodo says and leans in to peck you ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Gandalf.
You’re travelling the Shire’s hills in Gandalf’s wooden cart when two sparrows almost fly right into you. You flinch but realise they’re only doing their Spring dance through the morning air – a couple! “They’re like you and me!” you laugh. Gandalf gives you an amused look. “What a subtle way to tell me we’re going to dance at tonight’s party.” – “Indeed,” you grin.
.
･ﾟ✧ Gimli.
Watching the puppies play on the ground makes you soften. When one of them bites another’s ear, you playfully nudge Gimli’s head – he’s been sitting silently next to you until now. “What?” he grunts. “The dogs are doing it,” you argue with a grin. Your Dwarf protests at first about this comparison. The two of you, dogs? “I reckon it is true though,” he muses. “We are both very loyal after all. And we like food. And games. And…”
.
･ﾟ✧ Legolas.
You’re making your way through Mirkwood with Legolas, crossing a tree over a small pond where you make a curious observation: “Look! The toad and dragonfly are sharing a lily pad.” You snort. “They remind me of you and me.” – “Indeed! The sunlight reflects on its wings just like in your eyes, in all the colours of the sky.” You blush and wonder whether or not Legolas knew you meant it the other way around.
.
･ﾟ✧ Merry.
Merry is a bit sensitive about his height, but that doesn’t stop you from comparing the two of you to the horse and the pony you spot in Bree. “Hey! I’ll have you know,” Merry begins, “that ponies are very sturdy and resilient.” – “I know. Just like Hobbits.” – Merry pouts at that comment and crosses his arms, murmuring, “Fine. Just don’t braid my hair like that pony’s.” – “Perhaps…”
.
･ﾟ✧ Pippin.
After a proper picnic, you lie in a meadow with Pippin. Purely by chance you look to your right when two bunnies scamper out of the bushes to eat some grass. You grin and whisper, “Don’t move too fast now, but there’s tiny versions of you and me over there.” – “Tinier than me?” Pippin asks and rolls over to watch the bunnies over your belly. “Aww! They’re mighty cute, but so are we!”
.
･ﾟ✧ Sam.
You watch fondly when two ladybugs crawl over Sam’s hands, dirty from gardening but still gentle to the bugs. You smile when you hear your Hobbit talking quietly: “Right. Let me get up… there you go… over here it’s safer for you. A flower house.” You tilt your head at him. “Moving in together? Just like the two of us, you mean?” – “Hm? What? Sorry, luv, I wasn’t listenin’ there.” – “Oh, nothing…” ♡
Hello, hope this message finds you well! I would like to request (if the idea interests you of course) the fellowship responding to the reader asking “would you still love me if I was a worm/toad?”
What an inspired idea, anon haha! This one was fun to think about; hopefully it’s just as much fun to read! Enjoy ♡
･ﾟ✧ Aragorn.
Even though you asked him out of nowhere, Aragorn considers your questions rather seriously. Sitting by a fire with you, it takes him a while to answer: “Why wouldn’t I?” It should’ve been obvious to you that a ranger – and one as kind and gentle-hearted as him! – would naturally see beauty in every creature, no matter its general reputation. To him, it’s not a question.
.
･ﾟ✧ Boromir.
Boromir would shoot you a confused smile when you asked him your question. “What? Why would you turn into a worm…?” You’d blush and explain it to him, which would make him laugh in relief. “Why worry about such nonsense?” – “What, me turning into a worm?” – “No, silly! Me not loving you!” he’d say and pull you close for a kiss ♡ (He’d probably still worry about the sudden question because he cares for you that much haha!)
.
･ﾟ✧ Frodo.
When you ask Frodo your question, it catches him off-guard. He’d look up from his book and ask you to repeat, even though he was already listening carefully. But the question has him double-checking! Your adorable explanation makes him laugh. He’d take your hands and say, “The things you think about! If you ever manage to turn yourself into a worm, you must turn me as well, so that we may live happy lives in our worm-house underground.”
.
･ﾟ✧ Gandalf.
Gandalf smokes his pipe when you ask him your question and smacks his lips as he contemplates the scenario. “A curious proposition…” For a moment, the furrow of his bushy eyebrows makes it look like he was about to scold you for your nonsense, but then he’d shoot you a playful smirk and assure you that yes, if you were to turn into a worm, he would still love you all the same.
.
･ﾟ✧ Gimli.
You ask Gimli your question at a late-night banquet, making him pause and laugh. “I do not know if a worm would want to live in stone though! Wouldn’t you leave for grassier, muddier grounds? What would a worm want with a Dwarf?” Just like that, he has turned your question around! The ensuing nonsense conversation makes it certain: The two of you are inseparable ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Legolas.
Legolas is a very playful Elf and enjoys the games and riddles you two tend to play, so your question would not come entirely out of the blue for him. He would tilt his head and pout, pretending to consider it gravely. “A worm? A creature so foul and tiny and all too disagreeable?” – his face splits into a grin – “Why yes, of course!” Additionally, he’d incorporate “little worm” into his endless list of pet names for you.
.
･ﾟ✧ Merry.
Your question to Merry would probably come up during one of your philosophical conversations. But instead of stopping Merry dead in his tracks, he’d simply answer, “Yes, next question.” To him, it genuinely is not up for debate if changing your appearance would impact his feelings for you. When you dig deeper, he’d probably say something like, “I’d have to get used to it, but that’s it” and grin at you.
.
･ﾟ✧ Pippin.
Let’s be honest: The question would probably come from Pippin in the first place. Maybe he had watched a worm or a toad travelling through a meadow nearby, or even overheard other Hobbits asking their partner about the dreaded scenario. He keeps wondering if he’d still be lovable as a worm but leaves no doubt should that fate befall you: This Hobbit loves you to the moon and back!
.
･ﾟ✧ Sam.
No contest: Sam Gamgee wins this one by a mile. When you ask him, no matter how unsurely, he’d cross his arms with a thoughtful sigh and start his answer by explaining how important worms are in the circle of nature to keep the ground and gardens alive. “And that’s just that, y’know? I don’t have to find ‘em beautiful, but I’d simply be lost without them. And if it was you, oh, y’know, there’d be no question about it. I’d tinker with a bit of wood to make you an indoor garden, so you have some dirt to crawl in even when we’re inside the house. Something I can carry around. And somethin’ to eat. Unless you don’t want to. I’d bring you the good dirt from Farmer Maggot, and some apples, too. Your favourite flowers must be there too, so that’s – hm? What’re smilin’ at me like that for? You asked the question…”
I love your headcannons and I have a small request... What part of the beloved's body do you think the characters like the most? (maybe during intimacy, idk) (if anything, I'm 18, I'm just a little embarrassed, so anonymous))
Edit: This, too, was buried in my drafts. So sorry to anon for never posting this! The original post is as follows ↓
.
Sorry for taking so long, nonnie!
This one was interesting to think about because it’s not something I have thought about at all before – save for Haldir once, when I did a question meme with this exact question. I always love some body positivity and hope I did your request justice – enjoy! ♡
･ﾟ✧ Aragorn.
Though he has never said it out loud, Aragorn loves your hands the most. He loves holding them in his, even more so when you are alone and intimate. He likes feeling connected to you and hands are the best way for him to convey that emotion.
.
･ﾟ✧ Arwen.
Arwen has a strong weakness for your cheeks during intimacy. She loves the way they blush and colour, as well as how soft they feel under her touches and kisses during sex. She will caress you on your cheek to show her affection in daily life, too.
.
･ﾟ✧ Boromir.
Boromir always has and always will adore your legs. He loves their shape, their length, and the way you lie beside him in gardens or in his chambers. He will hold your legs and shower them with kisses – be it on your shin, knee, or high up on the thigh.
.
･ﾟ✧ Elrond.
It might strike you as peculiar at first, but it dawns on you that Elrond is extremely weak for your collar bones. He delights in you wearing clothes that show them off and is diligent in stroking and kissing them when the two of you are finally alone ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Éomer.
Maybe it surprises himself at first, too, but Éomer has absolutely fallen in love with your hair. He marvels at its texture and beauty which leaves him breathless more often than not. If it is long enough, he will ask you if it’s okay for him to pull it when he kisses you.
.
･ﾟ✧ Éowyn.
Éowyn loves your hands like no one else. Even if they’re rough or scarred, she will take them in hers, caress the palms of your hands and kiss your fingers. Perhaps she’d even bring you a calm or cream to soothe the skin. During sex, she prefers you using your hands over anything else.
.
･ﾟ✧ Faramir.
With Faramir, there is no need to ever remind him that “my eyes are up here” – this man is on his knees with but a gaze from you, that’s how weak he is for your eyes. They have captivated him ever since he first saw you, and he loves gazing into them ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Frodo.
Frodo has a weakness for your mouth and often finds himself staring at your lips. Not only does he love your kisses but also your smile! The two of you will often play games involving your mouth, ranging from innocent picnic shenanigans to more intimate moments…
.
･ﾟ✧ Galadriel.
Some time passes before you pick up on it, but Lady Galadriel seems to have found a liking for your head. She would often hold it in-between her hands – especially when kissing you – and asks you to rest your head on her lap.
.
･ﾟ✧ Gandalf.
Gandalf would never tell you, but he is absolutely in love with your eyes. He has found himself just sitting and thinking about your lovely gaze and the colours of your eyes, sometimes even when he had set out to do something important…
.
･ﾟ✧ Gimli.
Dear Gimli is very weak for your beautiful hair. He is aware of this ever since he first saw you – but he still blushes whenever he brushes your hair. Decorating your hair with flowers and jewellery gives him great joy.
.
･ﾟ✧ Haldir.
Haldir’s favourite body parts – both on you and himself – are butts. He loves to caress and touch your butt and will secure clothes for you that look great on your behind. He may appear stone-faced, but in reality, this Elf is very easily smitten!
.
･ﾟ✧ Legolas.
Being nonchalant and honest as he is, Legolas wastes no time answering your question about his favourite part of your body – he adores your nipples! He loves playing with them during sex – so much so that he sometimes finds himself begging ♡
.
･ﾟ✧ Merry.
Continuing the characters with a liking for “sexier” bodyparts, Merry is entirely in love with your genitals. He won’t shut up about how beautiful you are and showers you with kisses down there. Should you ever voice insecurity about how you look down there, Merry is right there to praise you instead.
.
･ﾟ✧ Pippin.
Pippin’s favourite parts of your body are your feet. In typical Hobbit fashion! He adores running across meadows barefoot with you, cooling your feet in brooks on hot summer days, and he gives the best foot massages.
.
･ﾟ✧ Sam.
Being the hopeless romantic that he is, Sam has fallen deeply in love with your eyes. He loves gazing into your eyes when the two of you are talking and sometimes even writes poetry about your eyes. He is also very good at helping you find clothing that complements your eyes!
