I'm pretty sure most everybody at this point is aware that Aragorn takes Boromir's vambraces as a way to honor his memory, but last time I watched the movies I noticed that on his deathbed (as anticipated by Elrond/Arwen) Aragorn is either 1: still wearing Boromir's vambraces or 2: wearing a set he had made to look exactly like Boromir's vambraces. and if that isn't enough, the tomb effigy of Aragorn is ALSO wearing them!
Boromir is part of Aragorn until he dies and even then he remains a part of Aragorn's memory
#whether or not those are still physically the vambraces boromir wore#Aragorn is still theoretically wearing a set that look EXACTLY like Boromir's at the end of his life#which is just as intentional a choice in honoring Boromir's memory#excuse me while I curl up in the fetal position and cry#the idea of the tomb effigy depicting Aragorn as he was in life having the vambraces until it weathers into nothingness#the idea that even after everyone in middle earth has forgotten WHY Aragorn wore those particular vambraces#they are still a part of his legacy#BOROMIR is still a part of his legacy#*sobgging*#lotr#lord of the rings#aragorn#boromir#aramir#martianbugsbunny ships
