Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition
Tumblr media
BROTHER HONOR GUARD
Also details because we all know I love symbolism: Eowyn's carrying Theoden's sword, and she has a Gondorian medal of honor and seabird-wing necklace, while Faramir has a Rohanian crest.
After all the tragedy and trauma, you know--you know--Boromir and Eomer would spend all day being stupid giddy and trying to start shit to cover up for it.
Tumblr media
With help from Merry and Pippin
Tumblr media
Get him, Eowyn
Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?
Tumblr media
Final shot for everyone who's obsessed with Boromir's awesome hugs
Okay I have to stop for now or I'm gonna miss a plane, byeee

I am finally done! This took a lot longer than I expected and there are a few mistakes in it, but this is what makes it special. But still, I am so pleased how it turned out!

“Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed.” “No!” said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. “You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!” Boromir smiled. “Which way did they go? Was Frodo there?” said Aragorn. But Boromir did not speak again.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers.

I'm a faramir truther, a faramir defender, a faramir apologist. if faramir has a million fans, I am one of them. if faramir has five fans, I am one of them. if faramir has one fan, I am the one fan. if faramir has zero fans, I am dead. I love faramir.

Faramir, son of Gondor ✏️
Graphite and charcoal pencils in my copy of the Lord of the Rings
One of my favourite characters from the Lord of the Rings, so I’m surprised at myself for taking so long to draw him

That period between Aragorn's marriage and the Elves leaving Middle-earth must have been absolutely wild for the scribes, librarians, historians and archivists of Minas Tirith, because you suddenly have the people of Rivendell, who are packing, graciously sending for you to quickly transcribe the texts they're taking with them so the knowledge is not lost from mortals, but also just gifting you tons of priceless manuscripts because they have more than one edition of the same thing, or because they're sure there are many more in the West, and there's obviously no need to take 20 copies of Rumil's Ainulindalë with them.
And on the other hand, everyone who knew him is certain Finrod has been pestering every single new arrival in Valinor for information about Men, and you're Faramir, and Elrond asks you for a favour and is like, "Galadriel wants to collect as much information about your cultures and history as she can for her brother; do you think you could find anything of interest in Minas Tirith?", and you're like "The Lady of the Golden Wood....???? Fi-nrod Edenn-il???", of course you'll butcher the job, this is too much, but ultimately you just may have prepared a dossier for the greatest hero of the First Age and you have to lie down for a moment.

I've been drawing just, so many dudes, so here are some Ladies of Gondor and Shieldmaidens of Rohan! Sometimes you just have to design a bunch of ren-faire gowns and accessories, you know?
First, Eowyn, the best excuse to draw split skirts. Her star-embroidered gloves were a gift from Faramir, but it wasn't until I drew Finduilas below that I realized her pendant was probably also a gift from him as well.
Tumblr media
Lothiriel! I referenced her pose from my fave, @adorkastock. I don't have many headcanons about Lothiriel but I imagine she's the only person who can make Eomer trip over his own feet.
Tumblr media
Theodwyn, Eowyn and Eomer's mother! Maybe she was born with a clubbed foot. We don't know. Tolkien only tells us she was pretty. A big thank-you to @hurricanek8art, @fruitbatvampiresociety, and @arrowpunk for giving me great feedback on her cane, including wrapping the base in leather and adding a skirt hike to her belt to keep her hem up.
Tumblr media
Elfhild, Theoden's wife and Theodred's mother! No big headcanons here, either, but I think she'd bring Theoden a lot of joy and purpose and thus a lot of grief and aimlessness when she died.
Tumblr media
And finally, Finduilas. There's the pendant Faramir gave Eowyn, and oh, her cape clasp looks familiar.
Tumblr media
Tolkien gives us a few extra sentences about Finduilas, and so we know she had a difficult time in Minas Tirith. He writes that she was gentle and beautiful, but that "she withered in the guarded city... the shadow in the east filled her with horror, and she turned her eyes ever south to the sea that she missed." He also says Denethor "loved her, in his fashion," which I read as, "guy couldn't healthily express an emotion if it was written out for him." I imagine Finduilas was lonely and isolated, and, in pregnancy, afraid of the world she was bringing her babies into.
But maybe things weren't all bad! Maybe before she got too ill, she brought her boys to the seashore, where Faramir would babble and splash and Boromir would run all over creation and bring her treasures.

thinking about how aragorn wears boromir’s bracers after his death
Tumblr media Tumblr media
image description under the cut!
[ID: first image is of boromir where he’s sitting down and you can see his bracer on his arm and the second image is of aragorn with his arm up where you can see the same bracer. the bracer is brown leather with an intricate design on it of feathers at the top towards the elbow, star like symbols run down the middle of the feather design, the white tree of gondor is on the bottom towards the wrist and finally outside the wrist area on both sides is some swirly looking accent design. End ID.]

obviously Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli would know all about conducting themselves in a courtly manner. Aragorn learned from Elrond and spent time in Gondor beforehand, Legolas is a prince and Gimli is a lord. But it's crucial to me that they forget it all or forget to care. (Because they do forget, in the books and movies. Aragorn's diplomatic skills fly out the window whenever somebody asks for Anduril, Legolas AND Gimli threaten to kill a king's nephew several times over heated words, and they're very used to being filthy, ragged and so wild people mistake them for fairy tales.)
So rather than to imagine they were completely out of their depth as King and Lords after the war of the ring I cling to the belief that they were very bizarre to be around but that it was a conscious choice because they could not be arsed.
It's not that Aragorn doesn't know he's supposed to be waited on, but he's a firm believer in 'eat when you can' and he will gut that wild fowl he caught himself when he's in an official delegation headed to Important Negotiations. It's not that Legolas doesn't know you don't stroll in the middle of a council meeting still muddy and bloodstained from a hunt, he's just on a tight schedule. It's not Gimli doesn't know you're not supposed to sleep on top of the battlements but he's tired and he has a free half hour and that was the closest flat surface. Completely undomesticated behavior all around but in a completely deliberate way.
