#also faramir: elvish magic is weird and dangerous. we should just stay away

[anghraine]

Obviously I find Faramir endearing in general, but I do think it’s super endearing that Faramir, who is deeply ambivalent about Elves, Galadriel in particular, and Lothlórien, uses the correct ancient name for it—Laurelindórenan.

(Also, it’s kind of funny that he’s specifically wary of Galadriel, the person who makes a point of using the correct ancient names for Dwarvish locations.)

#i also think that when he says éowyn's beauty surpasses even the ability of the elven-tongue to describe #he means quenya rather than sindarin #sindarin would be pretty mundane for him after all #tbh even if faramir couldn't describe éowyn's beauty in quenya i am pretty sure he's going to try #:)))) #(a lot of gondorians don't know quenya ofc but he says he's learned some of the ancient tongues #which ... obviously since he knows lothlórien as laurelindórenan! #i'm trying to remember if anyone other than treebeard still calls it that...) #also i think it's pretty hilarious that it's like #faramir: 'hmm there are dark rooms in your mind but i can tell that you know more than you're saying' #faramir: i can read in him that he's committed murder before #faramir: *compels truth by his presence* #faramir: so we've put a virtue on these staves that will hopefully work even in mordor #also faramir: elvish magic is weird and dangerous. we should just stay away #anghraine babbles #legendarium blogging #faramir #jewel of the seashore #húrinionath #galadriel
