six fanarts 5/6: faramir and éowyn
I care about my Eowyn joins the Witch King au a normal amount
edit: quickly want to clear up the guy she’s protecting + carrying is Faramir, the guy she’s fighting is Eomer, for the drama hehe
part 2! watching people squabble in the twitter comments over witch king vs faramir is taking me right back to the early 2010s phantom of the opera discourse

lord of the wings ✨
@cilil !!!!!
Imagine going on a cross country trip to share the (mildly embarrassing) news with an adjacent king that your guards lost a prisoner, but when you get there- there’s actually a huge crowd of people who all get called into a massive Super Important Meeting. And the prisoner (who you thought wasn’t like That Big of a deal) gets brought up, and everyone’s talking about how great your kingdoms security is, and how important it is that he’s locked up, and you’re just sitting there sweating buckets. And you have to stand up in front of Everybody and tell them ‘actually he escaped and had been gone for months’. While everyone looks at you with the most disappointed faces you’ve ever seen. What a loser.
And Then you have to go on an even Longer trip with all of these people who’s first impression of you was some cringefail sweaty loser who can’t even keep track of one (1) guy.
No wonder Legolas was showing off every chance he got, he was trying to bring his reputation up from like -100
not only that but two of the guys at the meeting very famously escaped from your dungeon about fifty years ago. because you were busy partying.
LORD OF THE RINGS DAY
happy sauron defeated to all who celebrate
I love seeing wildly different takes right next to each other on my dash

Nothing wrong with a mid-quest-hot-spring-nap with the bros after sprinting like 7 consecutive marathons 🤍🤍

Eowyn & Faramir

‘Well, I have rather a rascally look, have I not?’
Oh what’s this? Another scrungly Numenorian?
Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses
King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.
He didn't want to talk to you.
Uh.
Point of order.
King of Horses ran 450 fucking miles at almost entirely a gallop, without more than a few minutes rest, in 4 nights and basically was like "wait why are we stopping?" when Gandalf took him into the city and he ended up in a stable.
This was not his top speed, nor did it push any limits on his endurance.
King of horses is very different from other horses, actually.
He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties
But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.
daily affirmations: you are isildur’s heir, not isildur himself. You are not bound to his fate.
I was going to make a "same braincell" joke but honestly reading this over and over again was actually very moving and I might need to go lie down.....maybe the real affirmations were the friends we made along the way etc etc
