The truly amusing fact of the matter is that, whilst he has a far grimmer and more blunt manner, Theodred is actually the far better politician in a competition between him and Boromir. He may have less patience overall, but he has a great deal more patience for the individual concerns of the Thanes and Reeves of the riddermark, along with a running catalogue of those various concerns that he keeps in his thoughts at all times. In this actually Theodred is more like Boromir’s father than Boromir is himself.
And indeed, far more of Theodred’s actions as Prince and Marshall were politically based, be it solving squabbles, arranging marriage matches, manoeuvring allies into positions of social strength and brokering peace between feuding families, this was the meat of Theodred’s accomplishments in service of Rohan. It was forever a bitten frustration of his that, as his Father’s illness and Grima’s influence progressed, this work became more and more impossible for him to do.

Okay, I finished the main images that have been plaguing my brain, so help yourself to: Gondor-Rohan Weddin Day, AU Edition
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.
With help from Merry and Pippin
Get him, Eowyn
Who's that in the crowd eyeballing the Third Marshal of the Riddermark?
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
