Gondor Girl ( lotr fic concept) playlist
For my dear friend @beautifultypewriter
This is my late given birthday gift for you. I don't consider myself much competent in writing or editing, but i like to make playlists. For so, i put this one together for you with songs that remind me of our beloved fic concept of yours.
It includes some songs that make me think on your character and others that I feel fitting on her relationships with other characters
1 - Téir Abbahie Riú - Celtic Woman
2 - Savage Daughter - Sarah Hester Ross
3 - Touch the Sky - Brave Soundtrack
4 - Cad é Sin Don Té Sin - Caladh Nua ( subtituled translation link)
5 - Numenor - Oonagh
6 - One of Us - Heather Dale
7 - For the love of a Princess - Braveheart Soundtrack
8 - Garmarna - Sorgsen Ton ( I have no idea of what this song means lyrics wise, it's just the music vibes)
9 - Enaid - Road to Camelot ( i know this one tecnically belongs to bbc Merlin, but it also works here)
10 - Nocturne - Celtic Woman
Bonus:
11 - Faces Changing - Beecake ( you know why I added this one)
Notes:
4 and 10 have daydreamed escenarios attached that i will share with you as part of the gift.
The " mind your own damn business" energy of 4 makes me think on her and Faramir on Minas Tirith. Used to be the center of their father's critics, this quite honest duet song makes me think of how they feel and how they would vent to each other when Denethor isn't watching.
10 was added because some time ago i had a massive meltdown imagining her, still in her lady like persona, singing a lullaby to the hobbits on their last night in Rivendel right before the Fellowship leaves to start the journey. That song fitted the vibe of my daydream, although i would obviously imagine a less spectacular version.
Hope you will enjoy this and happy (late) birthday!

No you see it's like! Bilbo says "there's always been a Baggins living here under the hill in Bag End, and there always will be." Then he says "Frodo would probably come with me if I asked him, but I think in his heart he's still in love with the Shire-- the woods, the fields, the little rivers." Bilbo knows that he doesn't belong in the Shire anymore but he's so confident that Frodo does-- that he can protect Frodo from the outside world, so that Frodo will have the quiet life of contentment in the Shire that Bilbo can't. Bilbo's quest has made him restless and unable to enjoy life in the Shire; he's attempting to prevent Frodo from also feeling like the Shire is no longer is home.
And that's why the scene in Rivendell, when Bilbo gives Frodo his old sword and armor, is so devastating.... Bilbo starts out trying to be kind, cheerful, and encouraging, as if trying to convince Frodo that everything will be fine and that he himself is proof that you can come back from a journey like this. But after the Ring drives him to nearly attack Frodo, he breaks down and tearfully apologizes. ("I'm sorry that you must bear this burden, and I'm sorry for everything.")
Because Bilbo's goal was to prevent this from happening to Frodo, but he failed utterly. Frodo doesn't know that he'll never be able to leave peacefully in the Shire again, Frodo doesn't know that he'll never truly be able to 'return home'-- but Bilbo does.

people actually went on about how game of thrones made it socially acceptable to be a fantasy nerd, as though the lord of the rings movies hadn't been released less than a decade earlier and left far greater cultural ripples and i am just
got may have made the adults feel better about liking fantasy, but lotr got into the kids' heads when they (we) were just young and impressionable enough to be absolutely transported and emotionally rewritten by don't you leave him, samwise gamgee and my brother, my captain, my king and and rohan will answer
lotr was rewriting entire generations' brain chemistry long before asoiaf and so obviously it's not fair to compare any post-lotr fantasy novel to it, and each book series was trying to do different things within their own spheres and so that also is not a fair comparison, but in terms of the cultural impact of the adaptations that came out within a decade of each other, saying that it was game of thrones that made fantasy mainstream is baffling
game of thrones could only run because the lord of the rings movies laid the path, and i will die on this hill

Boromir wakes to the sound of the water, and above the strange silvery echo, birdsong. Was he sleeping?
