did you know that Éomer son of Éomund

has his own command in Aldburg, one of the chief settlements of Rohan

is given the title of the Third Marshal, one of the most important positions in Rohan, when he's still under thirty

is seen by Saruman as one of the two chief obstacles to the easy conquest of Rohan (the other being Théodred)

is relied on by his people and his uncle (once he is restored)

retains his integrity in an increasingly difficult and dangerous situation 

admits he believes as his countrymen do, but is ready to change his mind when presented with new information (” Yes, and we could find a use for Gimli's axe and the bow of Legolas, if they will pardon my rash words concerning the Lady of the Wood. I spoke only as do all men in my land, and I would gladly learn better.”)

is quick to recognise and make important and powerful allies (Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli)

seems to have a witty sense of humour (”So many strange things have chanced that to learn the praise of a fair lady under the loving strokes of a Dwarf's axe will seem no great wonder.”)

apparently resists the influence of Saruman's voice to the degree where Saruman singles him out in the company at Orthanc

acts as Théoden's second in command during the war and takes active part in planning strategy

keeps his calm when Théoden, Rohan’s king and the leader of their people, lies dying and other Rohirrim are dismayed; he rallies them and holds them together during the battle. (admittedly even he loses his shit when he thinks Éowyn is dead, but considering at that point his whole family seems to be dead, I don’t blame him.)

composes some kick-ass verse in the middle of a huge battle

marries Lothíriel of Dol Amroth, the daughter of one of the most powerful lords of Gondor, expressing keen political instinct 

is so successful as king that his people call him “the Blessed”

so if you think he's just some himbo, you probably weren't paying attention.

"The Ride of the Rohirrim"

2023

And straightaway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. 

-"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", by J.R.R. Tolkien

Not much that I can say about this scene that hasn't been said already. One of the most powerful, enduring moments of hope not just in Lord of the Rings, but in the whole of cinema history, made all the more so by the fact that it's not coming from a magical, supernatural source, but from Men showing up for other Men. An epic, beautiful, cathartic scene.

I remember seeing the film for the first time, I was so immersed in this battle I had quite forgotten that help was on its way. The horns blew, and I didn't know what that meant; the silhouettes appeared in the horizon, and I still didn't know what was going on. Only when the iconic, beautiful Rohan soundtrack started to slowly roll in, I finally realized what was happening, and felt my heart swelling to twice its size. It still does to this day.

Me: “Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Dire deeds awake: dark is it eastward.

Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!

Forth Eorlingas!

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!

Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!

Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,

a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!”

My OH: ”…hard time getting up, love?”

Me: “Bringing out the big guns!”

Been seeing a few of those "if this reaches X-number of notes, I will practice self-care" posts. I know Tumblr and most social media sites tend to draw in people suffering from mental health issues, because it's a place to escape from the stressors of the "real" world. It still makes me sad to realize and see that there are so many of us wounded and suffering and just trying to get by.

Oftentimes, battling and defeating depression takes an army. It's practically impossible to tackle alone, and if a person's last recourse for support is strangers on the internet, then gosh darn it, it's the responsibility of netizens to be there for those who need our help.

For those who are currently fighting a seemingly impossible battle, may King Theoden's rallying cries give you a little strength and inspiration today. You are as strong and brave as one of the Rohirrim and you've got this!

Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden! Dire deeds awake: dark is it eastward. Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded! Forth Eorlingas!

Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!

I will gladly fight in the army for anyone struggling with mental health issues. Just remember you are never alone!

Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute

Do you mean to tell me that the Eorlingas AND the Ents marched out ON THE SAME DAY?!?!

🤯

Would never ever ever have noticed that if not for the newsletter. Just. Bloody hell. Both groups, with their shared bonds of land and history, decided to march/ride out 2 March. Whaaaaaaaaaa

apparently Éomer is skilled enough poet/composer to spontaneously come up with verses in the middle of battle (and presumably he took part in the singing of Rohirrim on the Pelennor fields). it's also stated in ROTK that Dol Amroth has the best harpers of Gondor and it bears thinking that maybe Lothíriel was taught to play a harp as part of her education.

so do you think that Éomer and Lothíriel ever perform music together? 🤔 because I now do.

Am I the only one who thought that the Rohirrim had medieval slavic mounted warrior vibes (also known as bogatyrs)?

I love that Denethor being a polyglot seems to be a relatively common headcanon in the better parts of the fandom, but I really love what a hilarious situation this creates with Théoden.

Théoden was raised in Gondor and grew up with Westron and Sindarin, but apparently never learned Rohirric and held court in 'the language of Gondor' (presumably Westron).

I'm imagining Denethor turning up in Meduseld as a diplomatic envoy and greeting Théoden and his court in perfect Rohirric while Théoden just stares back cluelessly. The horrible moment when Denethor realises Théoden genuinely still doesn't know Rohirric, and he's just undermined and embarrased him in front of his whole court.

the two towers is just about orcs, uruk-hai, saruman and grima cussing out the Eorlingas by calling them backwater hillbilly peasants in various ways

[whats-in-a-sentence]

From dark Dunharrow in the dim morning

with thane and captain rode Thengel's son:

to Edoras he came, the ancient halls

of the Mark-wardens mist-enshrouded;

golden timbers were in gloom mantled.

Farewell he bade to his free people,

hearth and high-seat, and the hallowed places,

where long he had feasted ere the light faded.

Forth rode the king, fear behind him,

fate before him. Fealty kept he;

oaths he had taken, all fulfilled them.

Forth rode Théoden. Five nights and days

east and onward rode the Eorlingas

through Folde and Fenmarch and the Firienwood,

six thousand spears to Sunlending,

Mundburg the mighty under Mindolluin,

Sea-kings' city in the South-kingdom

foe-beleaguered, fire-encircled.

Doom drove them on. Darkness took them,

horse and horseman; hoofbeats afar

sank into silence: so the songs tell us.
