@aspecardaweek day four | worldbuilding | aro eärnur & boromir

Eärnur was a man like his father in valour, but not in wisdom. He was a man of strong body and hot mood; but he would take no wife, for his only pleasure was in fighting, or in the exercise of arms. [...] Boromir, five years the elder, beloved by his father, was like him in face and pride, but in little else. Rather he was a man after the sort of King Eärnur of old, taking no wife and delighting chiefly in arms; fearless and strong, but caring little for lore, save the tales of old battles.

—The Lord of the Rings: Appendix A, “Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion”

(probably only after faramir was like 'hey this king reminds me of you'...)#also: i don't go with the 'no descendants of elros have beards' meta. no plenty of them do.#BUT the line of dol amroth SPECIFICALLY has that trait and boromir's mom is finduilas of dol amroth so :)#i think she passed that down to her sons :)

idk if you've thought of this (probably) but aro/ace boromir.

YESSSSSSS I LOVE THIS HEADCANON!!!!

Like so much so that I’ve got the url ‘aroboromir’ saved.

Like gosh this is a wonderful headcanon. Aroace Boromir who always supported Faramir in everything, including his silly boyhood crushes, though he didn’t really get what the big deal was all about. Aroace Boromir who began to feel pressure from his father about marrying and continuing the family line, and felt uncomfortable about the prospect of it. Aroace Boromir who secretly always wanted kids (he would have made an AMAZING dad tbh, way better than Denethor ever was) though he couldn’t really idealize who he’d want them with.

Aroace Boromir who is so reminded of little kids by the hobbits (even though technically they were pretty much the same age as him) and immediately grows attached to them, especially Merry and Pippin. Aroace Boromir who disregards Aragorn at first, since he’s both Isildur’s heir AND he never shuts up about his stupid romance with Arwen, geez, it’s not THAT big of a deal man. Aroace Boromir who is deeply troubled while in Lothlorien because of just how deep Galadriel looked into his mind - she saw everything, including his confusion about why he doesn’t feel the same way about romance and sex as everyone else, and he feels laid bare by all the feelings he’d been repressing until then.

Aroace Boromir who waxes poetic about Gondor all the time, loving his country and his family more than anything else. Aroace Boromir who dies defending those who he saw as his children and his friends, aroace Boromir who dies full of love for the Fellowship and for his country, aroace Boromir who never truly discovered who he was. AROACE BOROMIR, GUYS. MY BEAUTIFUL SON WHO DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER, MY BEAUTIFUL AROACE SON.
