ot3 enjoyers.... where are you......

Pj!!

Oh…..

I got a comment that was like ... people are only mad about film Faramir because he doesn't act exactly the way they personally imagined him, and tbh I'm torn between being annoyed at how deeply disingenuous that argument is and slightly impressed at the sheer audacity of pinning the Faramir Controversy on difference from random people's headcanons rather than the book itself.

...then I got to thinking about how the whole time-consuming and wildly out of character handling of the temptation of the Ring is one thing, and justifiably gets a lot of attention, but Faramir allowing his soldiers to beat Gollum for information is quite comparable in my mind. They're his men! Gollum is an unarmed prisoner! I guess it's meant to show the exigencies of war or something and I'm just like ... hahaha no.

In a way it reminds me of film Aragorn just straight up killing the Mouth of Sauron in a way that seems meant to show their desperation in a badass cathartic way, and meanwhile, I'm thinking ... oh, our heroes murder ambassadors now. I feel like it's the same underlying kind of rationale, and quite far from not matching people's headcanons.

HEY ANGEL ! If Paper Jam were a human, what would his shape be like?

Like his body type?

He would fall under I would believe the rectangle body type... I think that's the best shape to describe them? That or a trapezoid?

parappa fans of tumblr... i have never met you before but i raise you this... human kid designs..

It's always intriguing to see content(TM) about Aragorn that's functionally about how extremely Mannish he is (not as in masculine, but as in ultra-human), how he's the ultimate peak mortal Man (at least of his time) rather than Elvish or whatnot.

On the one hand, there's part of me that's always thinking about how Aragorn is a towering, preternaturally strong-willed and long-enduring, beardless (look, I'm me!) Númenórean king with healing powers who was brought up in the home of his half-elven remote uncle who chose immortality thousands of years earlier. Aragorn's Númenórean kingliness is distinct from any other mortal kingships and there are numerous points where his mystical Elvishness and Númenóreanness make him incalculable and remote to normal people. He is the most Elvish mortal man alive.

The easy response is "oh, they must be talking about movie Aragorn." And ... yeah, probably, in some part. But it's pretty noticeable that Aragorn is almost invariably depicted in ways that strongly identify him with Men and contrast him with Elves, not only in the films, and not only after the films.

This is not to deny the active choice to "humanize" Aragorn in the films nor to downplay their inexpressibly long shadow over popular conception of Tolkien, but I do think the emphasis on the humanness (and especially non-Elvishness) of Aragorn is a larger tendency that they participated (heavily) in rather than something simply manufactured by the films.

Aragorn is certainly fundamentally human, as all mortal Men are, but like ... his deal is being the supreme exemplar of the best of the Númenóreans (more than his comparatively recent ancestors were) and of the lingering Elvishness within his people and his house. He's not a representative of normative humanity at all IMO. Tolkien is at pains to continually remind us that Aragorn is special, the most special; other Númenórean men like Denethor and Faramir are elevated by association with Aragorn in addition to their own qualities (but can never be quite as elevated, of course). He's not the best human man of his time in Tolkien's treatment because he's the most archetypally Mannish. He is manifestly extraordinary and unusual.

On the other hand, he is also the most prominent and idealized human character in the book. Maybe that's part of the drive towards identifying him with a more normal humanness. But I don't know, really.
