Stories.

That's all that is left of us.

It's been a long time. Many feet have hollowed out the land that we once inhabited. Blood has been spilled, lost between generations.

You see, now Men are the ones who rule the Earth.

Innocent and curious Men.

I still remember, a night when the Moon and the trees where still young. A night when the first ones of their kind woke up. They where like babies, that knew nothing and that would die for for them the world was only beauty and kindness.

I remember how we sang to them, for Music is the common language for all species. And how they learnt everything, curious as they were. They learnt to love and suffer.

Innocent and curious.

You see, they are not like that anymore. Their kind always had a gift for inventing things. They modifies what was given to them and they knew how to see new things inside them. Stone, metal and fire. Machines that moved the gears of industry, to end the Age of the Elves.

Yes, now Men rule the Earth.

But they have forgotten.

They have forgotten what we still remember. How we crossed the Sea for the love of these places. How we disembark, filled with hope and nostalgia for what we had left behind. How we fought for these lands against the Evil. How we found them, when they woke up from their long sleep and we taught them the arts and the habilities that they now possess.

They have forgotten, and now we are mere tales.

Stories.

Times change, and people with them. Our Age ended long ago, and the few of us that still belong here are now small. Our agile legs, slender bodies, pointing ears have long disappeared. We lost our strength and now we are nothing more than fantasy beings for them. Fairies, they call us.

We are as little as the memories they keep of our people.

But they have changed, too. Decrepit bodies, wrinkled faces, eyes obscured by a poisoned veil. Their honor and bravery, long gone.

Soon they will fade too and there would be no one left on Earth to admire it.

sam, reading bilbo’s book: “well now, i’m sure he had a very nice voice, but that’s hardly a reason to go on an adventure with someone you just met”

sam: turns page to an illustration of thorin, with his dark hair and blue eyes

sam: “understandable, good for you mister bilbo”

Kind of photo redraw

“Not all men” yeah, you’re right. Aragorn, son of Arathorn, Gimli, son of Gloin, Legolas, son of Thranduil, Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Peregrin “Pippin” Took, Meriadoc “Merry” Brandybuck and dare I say Boromir would never.

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.

Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.

To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.

The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.

The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.

Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.

Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.
