Imagining a Boromir lives scenario where Boromir returns to Minas Tirith together with Aragorn after the battle. Then he arrives to the news of his father’s death and his brother’s fatal wounding.

So he dashes to the Houses of Healing to sit with his dying brother near frantic with grief and guilt. Then Aragorn comes and saves Faramir. Boromir is of course relieved, unendingly thankful to Aragorn but still very worried about Faramir, who is still ill, injured and has to deal too with their father’s death.

It’s with a heavy heart he follows Aragorn and the others to fight at the Black Gate, prepared to die protecting Frodo and Sam thinking his last image of Faramir will be that of a pale invalid giving him a strained smile in goodbye.

And then Frodo succeeded. And suddenly there’s a future.

Boromir returns home fully prepared to care for his brother, aid him in his recovery and comfort him after all those horror’s knowing it will be no easy task to do so and then he arrives and sees his solemn, overly correct, as he thought shy and very private little brother MAKING OUT FOR ALL TO SEE WITH NO OTHER THAN EOWYN THE WITCHKING SLAYER AT THE TOP OF THE WALL!

Honestly, I don’t expect him ever to recover from that shock!

been thinking a lot about a a vampire!éowyn at yes in a fun campy pulpy way but also in the way that vampirism in woman characters is so often tied to a sense of entrapment and particularly gendered entrapment

Super curious! Put in the tags or a reblog what your favorite location in Tolkien and why! It can be your favorite because you want to live there or you find it wonderfully strange or terrifying or have associations with characters or events you like!

Esoteric or canonically dubious locations like the Cottage of Lost Play from The Books of Lost Tales are included and very welcome! As are highly specific ones like a stream, house, or tree :)

My college program is making an art sale so I decided to contribute by making a print of Aragorn and Arwen as The Kiss by Gustav Klimt! They’re so perfect for that painting

magical experience seeing fellowship in cinema today and watching everyone turn to the person next to them as the credits start rolling and saying “so did you know…”

Enough about favorite books. What’s a book you read and absolutely hated? The book you’ve got a bone to pick with.

[jmtorres]

out of curiosity. I would love to hear folks' most hated book that was NOT assigned reading. what's a book that you picked up of your own volition but were deeply frustrated with? bone to pick etc?
