i've been thinking about this all day so here's my thoughts on @sillylotrpolls 's "which member of the fellowship fucks":
frodo: too busy Brooding and perhaps even Yearning. maybe once or twice in his youth but to me just doesn't seem like the type of person to have casual sex.
sam: also too busy Yearning, but also just doesn't seem the type. he has a job, he's busy, he's in love with his boss AND the girl at the pub, it's a whole thing.
pippin: for all intents and purposes is like. 17. so again maybe once or twice but in very awkward, fumbling ways that made everyone involved think "wait, did that count?"
merry: fucks severely. confident, kind, intelligent, always there to lend a helping hand (😏). of course he pulls hobbits of all genders constantly. the only potential wrench in the works is the fact that he at the very least is already acquainted with his future wife, so maybe they've got something going on in which case he is probably not out romancing other hobbits.
gandalf: be so serious. who is he fucking? hobbits? saruman? shame those big naturals are going to waste but he does not fuck.
boromir: next after merry, imo. has been around, fighting battles and in taverns and such, and is prone to temptation so has definitely fucked at some point, probably multiple times. however he does hate himself for it.
aragorn: lives in the woods singing about his one true elven love. no way.
legolas: is not married, and therefore has not had sex. elf marriage is the one time tolkien wrote about sex and you're all ignoring it.
gimli: sure. why not? gimli fucks. good for him.
#lotr#i can't believe i wrote this. but i did. i put a lot of thought into it.#i think what bothers me about the frankly baffling number of legolas fucks truthers is that afaik that is literally the one time#that the aggressively catholic tolkien wrote about sex. and you're all just ignoring it.#we can just headcanon how we think gondorian or hobbit cultures treat sex and sexuality but we KNOW how elves feel about it#and sadly they do not fuck outside of the bounds of marriage. sucks for them!

the advice of hobbits
pairing: boromir / reader
word count: 728
summary: boromir is educated on the hobbit language of flowers, but is woefully uninformed about how your body reacts to said flowers
a/n: my april piece for the year of themed creation! maybe i’ll catch up eventually? who knows 🤷🏻♀️ tagging @oonajaeadira & @yearofcreation2023
“oi merry! boromir has a cruuuuuush!” “who do ya think he fancies, pip?” “do i even have to say?” “no, i don’t think you d-AAAH!”
boromir interrupts the gossiping hobbits with a (mostly) playful tackle, clotheslining them both with one arm each
he knows they’re both young, pippin not even of majority by hobbit standards, but it’s moments like these that have him wanting to wring their necks like freshly washed laundry
the topic was changed once merry and pippin were freed from boromir’s wrath, but the young hobbits were far from deterred
for days after, they continued to pester their friend about you, from teasing comments about the puppy eyes boromir gave you to preposterous claims that your eyes mirrored his
the risk of you overhearing their silly banter was far too taxing on his nerves. he’s a warrior who has seen the darkest things humanity has to offer & faced them all with limitless courage, but that courage disappears when he thinks about you learning of his harbored affection
he didn’t believe he could survive the heartbreak that would come with your inevitable refusal of a courtship offer, so he chose instead to brood about it
“i still think you should tell ‘em,” pippin remarked out of the blue one day, catching him off guard. boromir couldn’t play dumb enough to avoid thinking of what you would say and he hated how your rejection circulated in his ears
“even if i wanted to, which i don’t, i do not believe a proposition in the ways of our people would end well.” the young hobbits knew this was code for “you deserve much better and i’m too much of a chicken to offer it to you” but wisely didn’t call him on it
“then do it the hobbit way, with flowers!” “why didn’t we think of that before? absolutely genius!”
the next half hour was spent educating the captain about the hobbit language of flowers: which ones were useful in romance, which ones he’d be wise to avoid, and how to arrange the good flowers properly to convey the right meaning
once the right flowers were retrieved, it was time to teach the skill of crown weaving. in one word, that whole ordeal could be described as dismal
it took dozens and dozens of flowers and endless patience for there to be a decent flower crown, but it finally happened
boromir was losing his nerve as time went on, you making a very clear effort to avoid him that slowly broke him down
even the younger hobbits were concerned at this strange development. you didn’t start avoiding boromir until he started using the flowers, but they were positive that you shared the same feelings as the gondorian. what gives?
it got to the point where boromir was starting to toss pieces of his hard work along their walks in hurt frustration. the boys wouldn’t let their friend give up on love so easily, so they collected each of the discarded pieces and saved them
they confront you on your avoidance of boromir in the most inconvenient way possible (because that’s how these two operate) by approaching you with some of boromir’s arrangements
you had no warning when the two hobbits plopped a massive pile of flowers in your lap, the residual pollen invading your nose in the most uncomfortable fashion
sneeze after sneeze wracked your body (even legolas looked concerned at the spectacle from across the fire) until you were saved from the flowery pile by boromir, who looked pissed as he discarded the blossoms yet again
your body was too busy rejecting the pollen that you didn’t notice the harsh looks merry and pip both were wearing before the took’s eyes betrayed the appearance of an enlightenment
“merry, they’re averse! they don’t hate boromir after all, it’s just the flowers!” this certainly caught merry’s attention and led to an enlightenment of his own.
“the flowers held no hobbity weight at all when they just made them sick! oh this is a great development!” “now they can confess their love for each other without fear of an attack!”
if looks could kill, pippin would be dead several times over (but he paid no heed to this of course, that’s just his nature)
boromir, now more than ever, wonders why he took the advice of these two silly hobbits

I know people have probably made this comparison/connection before, but Turin is LITERALLY the in-canon version of the "I can fix him" meme,, he's the in-story (undeserved? lol) blorbo of many characters,,, Listen,,, "I can fix him" says the characters who like,,, end up dying [most likely by his hand],,
#funky's personal post#not to bash on Turin but like... XD#anyway... imagine 'present day' (meaning lotr Gondorian era) memesters making memes about turin OH MY GOSH the potential there is#completely and utterly unfathomable XD#there's so many jokes and memes that would apply to him#from a few thousand years hindsight 'now he's a myth and legend' kind of perspective#(Turin apologists dni)#jk jk jk i think we can all agree a good turin bashing in good fun and humor is well deserved occasionally#as a treat :)

I've recently seen various pieces of Gondor-related art that depict it in vivid colors rather than always dominated by black/white/grey/brown, and it's really cool.
Black and white are important to Gondorian iconography (the White Tower, the white banner of the Stewards, the black flag with the White Tree), for sure. But it's a fairly wealthy and powerful multi-millennia-old nation in a Mediterranean climate ruled by one(1) remarkably consistent and stable dynasty for over 900 years. The RL aesthetic influences were the Byzantine Empire, ancient Egypt, and (most broadly) Italy. I've always imagined that there'd be plenty that's rich and vibrant, so it's been cool to see more Gondorian imagery with vivid colors like blue and gold, bright lighting, etc.

I am not putting it in the gifset tags because that would not be fair but Peter Jackson I hate the ‘men are weak’ line you gave to movie!Elrond so much it makes me upset because no actually He Would Not Fucking Say That. That Is Not (My) Elrond.
@goshawke wrote the best little poem about this ages ago I am reminded.
#thing i am unreasonably salty about: movie!elrond#my elrond feels#lil the tolkien dork#(also faramir and also elrond and the gondorians SHOULD NOT BE WHITE)#(and honestly neither should the hobbits)#elrond is kind as summer he is wise he is a diplomat he is the other most beautiful being in middle earth hope this helps

all couples have their fights and so do Éomer and Lothíriel, but the really difficult one was deciding which of them gets Arwen as the maid of honour for their wedding.
#Éomer#Eomer#Lothíriel#Lothiriel#Arwen#I have this headcanon that Éomer and Arwen are low-key very good friends#it maybe started with him being all starry-eyed when he first saw her#but developed into a genuine friendship because maybe they both felt a bit like outsiders in Gondorian high society#so they have each other's back and whenever there's something going on they don't Get they will exchange incredulous looks#on the other hand there is Lothíriel:#her father is among the most high-ranking nobles of the land#which would also make her one of the top women of Gondor#maybe she would even act as Arwen's lady-in-waiting#and if she did I can easily imagine them becoming friends#and Lothíriel herself becoming a queen might seek for Arwen's advice and support#also: Arwen is among the first to notice Éomer making eyes at Lothíriel (and vice versa)#Arwen Ships it and gives errands to Lothíriel that cause her to run into Éomer#and invites Éomer to events where he is likely to meet Lothíriel#also she will subtly praise one to the other at appropriate occasions#is Arwen the best wingwoman in the history of Gondor? you bet she is#conclusion: both Éomer and Lothíriel want Arwen as a maid of honour#headcanon#text

is ur url a silmarillion/lotr reference? it reads like an elf name
It is LotR, although not an elf! Findegil was the Gondorian scribe responsible for the most important copy of the Red Book in Tolkien's fictional manuscript transmission tree!
(The conceit is that LotR is a "translation" of an in-universe manuscript written by Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam, but because Tolkien was a medievalist he couldn't stop there and also had to invent the provenance of the "extant" manuscript copies. The "original" Red Book has been lost, but an exact copy known as the Thain's Book was made and brought to Gondor at Aragorn's request (where it was heavily annotated and had all the Elvish corrected, lol), and Findegil's manuscript is a copy of that, written 172 years after the destruction of the Ring.)
#conversations#it's about the Gondorian marginalia#even though i am not and never really have been A Tolkien Blog#the url stays because it conveys the very important fact that i am an insane manuscript culture nerd#even when the manuscripts in question do not actually exist

🎨Miniature painting (old work, mid-2000s, Games Workshop LOTR strategic battle game ✨⚔️ ): One of the most ambitious dioramas I've made to date, the confrontation between the Witch-king (here depicted as a standard Nazgul on Fell Beast) and Gandalf the White on Shadowfax, during the siege of Minas Tirith, with Pippin having just fallen at the side, and some Gondorians in the background. The Fell Beast is standing a bit precariously, so a couple of rocks are there to stabilize it xD
