#eowyn is no man

[samwises-potsandpans]

LOTR characters I expected to hate but ended up loving

Merry, I’m sorry he seemed so annoying at the beginning.

Pippin, same reason as Merry.

Legolas, okay I thought he was a tad bratty and a show off.

Eowyn, I was shipping Aragorn and Arwen and she made me angry.

Faramir, I thought he was going to be like Boromir who I personally do not like.

Eowyn tells Faramir it isn't necessary to write all of Rohan's songs and legends in a book lest they be forgotten. The Rohirrim do not read and write: they are oral storytellers, and they have great respect for their minstrels and their history. They will not forget anything.

She says it to reassure him and save him the trouble, but it does not seem to soothe his mind.

He smiles quickly at her before turning to the window. He looks out at the hills of Emyn Arnen as though watching for a storm on the horizon, and then Eowyn understands.

She grasps his hand.

At his touch, an image rushes through her mind: a grey, mutinous sea; and among the froth and the fury – sodden books, orphaned heirlooms, and a tapestry that will never again be seen or re-made, with both story and skill lost to the devouring waters.

The water washes over them both before slowly receding, leaving only a mist that she blinks away, and the distant glint of the Anduin to the west as it flows down to the Sea.

'Have I ever told you of Eorl the Young?' she says. Her voice is rough; she clears her throat.

'We know much about Eorl in Gondor,' Faramir says softly. 'His friendship with Cirion and his aid in our time of need was great.'

'And what about after?' she asks. 'What does Gondor know about that?'

Faramir turns to her with a wry smile. 'Very little.'

'Would that you had someone to teach you a little history.'

The mirth in Faramir's eyes mirrors her own.

'Would that I did.'

Don't get me wrong, I like LoTR and the "I am no man" scene where Eowyn stabs the Witch King of Angmar, but you can really feel how Toilken was a British professor of languages and history (a NERD), when you re-frame the scene as "A high ranking general of Fantasy Satan is defeated because they were too cocky and didn't have a strong enough grasp of English wordplay"

If Faramir was an Austen hero, he'd be Mr Tilney.

no living man may hinder me: The Gilded Wraith of Numenor

from the Reverse Gondolin AU, based on @who-needs-words's idea for Ar-Pharazon's fate! (they also wrote a ficlet for it, check it out here!)

#silm #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #witch king #witch king of numenor #ar pharazon #eowyn #reverse gondolin au #ooh i need to do this pose for fingolfin and morgoth #the parallels though! eowyn facing pretty much certain death #but being brought back by hope in the Halls #while fingolfin faced morgoth because he lost all hope #also: in the au sauron & pharazon took a bunch of numenorean tech with them before the Downfall #bc nobody attacked valinor so all the airships and engines and stuff were still on the island #so we get Steampunk Tech Numenor #(perfect symbolism w industrialization too!) #which means of course the witch king of numenor gets a Gun Sword #which is frankly terrifying #his face is still visible here bc the tiny bit of maia/peredhel ancestry (still like 20x more than aragorn tho) protects him from the rings #enough that his fea & hroa haven't faded; just been corrupted #also in the au bc of Prince Elrond's involvement in numenorean politics ar pharazon is way more aware of potential loopholes #in the 'no living man' thing #aka arwen and galadriel #and honestly he expected to be slain by arwen #so he still overlooked eowyn (and merry) #just for very different reasons #less hubris in a 'i am invincible' way #and more hubris in a 'you arent nearly important enough to bother paying attention to' way

Éowyn: Sword Maiden of Rohan, Griever of War

I’ve been rewatching the movies with my partner and ahhhhh I love them so much. This piece took me so long but the toil was well worth it.

There’s this exchange in Return of the King between Aragorn and Eowyn and it kills me that they cut it short for the movie:

'A time may come soon,' said he, 'when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.'

And she answered: 'All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.

Because on the one hand, Aragorn is right. Eowyn may yet be needed to defend her people in Rohan should the battle in Minas Tirith go south. And Eowyn does place too much value on the glory of battle.

But on the other hand, Eowyn is right. Aragorn asks none of his warriors to stay behind. Their best chance at winning is to save Minas Tirith, and in that battle every man counts. If they fail at Minas Tirith then the world of men will fall, and any battle left would be in vain.

Eowyn is being asked to stay at home because she is a woman, and thus society has deemed that her place is in the home. Notice that her brother rides openly to the battle of Minas Tirith. But she cannot, because even in Rohan, where the women learn to fight, they are only permitted to defend themselves in their homes, never to defend their people on the battlefield.

And ultimately, Eowyn proves herself right. Not only do women deserve to be on the battlefield, but they are necessary. The witch king would not have been defeated if Eowyn had done what Aragorn told her to do and stayed with her people.

And it kills me that Eowyn’s speech, her dressing down of the sexism of even Aragorn’s words, was cut out of the movie, so that our hero king can be perfectly moral and sympathetic.

#lord of the rings #lotr #lotr quotes #aragorn #eowyn #lotr eowyn #lotr aragorn #tolkien #tolkein #jrr tolkien #like damn #i am no man #hits hard #but imagine how much harder #that moment would have hit #if this speech had been kept in the movie #return of the king

[thatannoyingbitch]

eowyn getting rejected by a man and responding by killing the witch king then falling in love with someone way hotter than the guy who rejected her is such an inspiration to me

[hopeless-eccentric]

what always gets me about faramir and eowyn’s whole romance is that the second they get engaged, faramir promises to make a garden with her in ithilien.

it hits a lot different when you get to the appendices and find out that his mother, who was from the seaside, “withered” due to the lack of plant life in minas tirith
