I think that scene of Aragorn using his sword to knock a thrown dagger out of the air changed my life.

Aragorn coronated as King Elessar of Gondor by Gandalf the White.
The painting is by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, and was included in their 1977 J.R.R. Tolkien Calendar.
The model for the hobbit is Greg Hildebrandt, Jr., while the Hildebrandt brothers themselves are the two men on the right.
“And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard, and the White Horse upon green Green flew in many winds until Éomer grew old.”
I wanted to pay tribute to one of the most beautiful bromance in Lord of The Rings: Éomer and Aragorn. Hope I did my job well!

Tolkien’s fixation on the unbroken male line of Isildur and the family tree of Chieftains of the Dúnedain that led to Aragorn is almost funny to me because, there’s no way that generations of wives/mothers only gave birth to one son every time. Most of those Chieftains must’ve had sisters; Aragorn being an only child was probably the exception or more of a rarity, especially since his father was killed so soon after his birth, before any siblings could be conceived. I bet many Chieftains actually had older sisters. The odds of a baby’s sex at birth are almost always 50/50 (though I admit I’m no fertility expert). There was no gender-selective IVF in Middle-earth, so it’s not like they could’ve always guaranteed male offspring. It’s fun to headcanon the rest of those families - maybe some of them had, like, three or four or more daughters before the son finally arrived.
happy aragorn’s coronation day to all who celebrate
I wish I could draw because after watching Fellowship and the Two Towers again I just know there was a moment where Legolas and Gimli knew Aragon was asleep so they started holding hands, whispering pet names in Sindarin and Khuzdul, softly giggling and kissing only for Aragorn to have awoken 5 minutes ago because with his special Ranger/Dúnedain ears, their giggles woke him up, so now he is just laying there disturbed and traumatized. And I just wish I could draw that out. One random night somewhere in Rohan- Legolas and Gimili:
