gonna drop my thoughts here bc im thinkin abt it a lot but my transmasc ass cannot help but project SO HARD onto faramir

hes second borne of denethor, obvi, and denethor views his place as a woman absolutely useless in succession. he favors boromir bc he believes boromir will actually amount to something, whereas faramir will not. faramir grows up watching his elder brother train and be taken around by their father, meanwhile he must sit and be a pretty face in the background.

eventually, he asks boromir to train him. Boromir, being the beloved elder brother he is, does so. faramir is absolutely ecstatic. he wants everything boromir has and more, but it is not out of pure jealousy. he cannot place the feeling he has in his gut every time hes seen not as a young boy, but as a young woman. he’s miserable, and he wishes above all else to be seen exactly as his brother is.

he voices these thoughts to boromir, who responds with something along the lines of “then if you wish to be, you are as much a brother to me as any other man in this city, if not more-so.” they discuss many things, such as names and if to tell their father. boromir says to do so, and faramir agrees on the basis of more than just boromir acknowledging his true self. when they do, denethor is.. not pleasant! he only agrees to these “ridiculous terms” because boromir refuses to listen otherwise.

faramir proceeds to spend the rest of his childhood as a boy would, with the shadow of his father constantly looming over than him. he looks down upon everything he does, using every small mistake as an opportunity to point out his sex. no matter what he does, denethor will find anything and everything to berate and belittle him for. he must do everything boromir does and 10x more in order for denethor to even acknowledge his existence in a way that isnt entirely negative.

once boromir is dead, it doesnt get any better. denethor has no reason to respect faramir now, and just resorts back as if boromir had never told him. most people dont even know who the hell denethor is talking about because everyone just knows faramir as faramir, but he doesnt care. faramirs given up on ever trying to gain that level of respect from his father.

he meets eowyn, who is ALSO TRANS!!!!! they understand each other on a level no one else anywhere in their lives could. he finds so much comfort in her he gets weak fucking knee’d. they talk for hours and hours and by the end of it faramir is so enamored with her he cannot imagine a life without her. t4t farawyn is literally everything to me rn

this is barely coherent bc im watching two towers at the same time im writing this but heyy projection love it so much

Valaquenta: "But when they desire to clothe themselves the Valar take upon them forms some as of male and some as of female; for that difference of temper they had even from the beginning, and it is but bodied forth in the choice of each, not made by the choice, even as with us male and female may be shown by the raiment but is not made thereby."

What this means is, gender is decided by fëa (spirit), not body.

If Varda wanted to don the body of a man, she could. She'd still be female. It isn't the genitals that decide, it's the 'difference of temper' that's been there from the beginning. And that's canon. Conceivably a fëa could get clothed in a body of a sex that's different from the gender of the fëa. Ainur don't have those issues because they aren't created with physical bodies, they choose their bodies and by extension, their sex as they would choose clothing, so of course they choose what feels good and fits right. If they don't like any clothing, they don't have to wear anything. (See my post about Ulmo.) Anyone who isn't one of the Ainur could experience this, though.

Trans, non-binary, and other gender non-conforming characters in Ëa exist and are valid!

i miss the times before quarantine when i’d go out with friends and randomly insert “aragorn is trans” into a conversation.

they’d scream at me because they all think eowyn and faramir are trans and not aragorn so you know

I saw some TERFs (aka transphobes) reblogging some of my Éowyn art and just wanted to make it clear that I, my art, and my blog are 100% supportive of trans people.
