The result of @ass-deep-in-demons and I pondering Thorongil and Boromir

Ok, no, but can you imagine:

Aragorn (as Thorongil) having known baby Boromir-

And just casually mentioning it while they’re on the quest.

And of course everyone’s intrigued (and boromir is lowkey mortified when he realizes that “yes, i actually knew him when i was a baby”) and so aragorn just kinda tells one story about bby boromir (not to embarrass him or anything, just bc what else are they gonna do during all those days walking?)

But of course boromir is lowkey embarrassed, as one does when baby stories come up.

And legolas just-

Legolas, to Aragorn: hey, you remember the time you were so scared of climbing down from a tree, you spent an hour crying for me to get you bc you didn’t trust the twins as they weren’t “tree elves”?

Legolas just comes in clutch and levels the playing field. Boromir might be embarrassed bc of his bby stories, but Aragorn is now bright red.

Everyone is now pestering for Gandalf to tell some embarrassing stories about Legolas, but the wizard admits that Legolas was born in the 2nd age, before Gandalf came to middle earth and so he has none.

Legolas is just cackling in glee bc his siblings aren’t here to embarrass him in turn and he now has the pleasure of being one of the oldest for a change.

“So old that i almost feel young again, as i have not felt since i journeyed with you children” Legolas to Gimili age 139 and Aragorn age 87

Which is me talking to anyone 6 months younger than me.

Once again thinking about Aragorn holding Boromir as a baby and then being the one to carry him to his funeral boat

Redesign for Aragorn, son of Arathorn, after leaving the country of Lorien, together with the main weapons of the fellowship of the ring.

saw you post this ask game and blacked out briefly. 🐅 💖 💛 talk to me about denethor….

🐅(characterisation): Lore and history has always been Denethor’s joy. It became common early in his rule for people to bring family heirlooms or tales of their ancestors, to seek the truth behind them. This frustrated Denethor’s counsellors, but was a welcome break from the tedium of mediating disputes and stress of planning for war. He later banned this, as it became too distracting once the war became more serious and demanded more of his time.

💖 (romantic relationships): Finduilas and Denethor’s marriage was a political one, but not in the usual sense. They were drawn to each other because of their beauty and their shared yet different strangeness (Denethor being very Númenorian, Finduilas very elvish). But both also agreed that cooperation between Minas Tirith and the coast was essential in the coming crisis, and saw the other as their perfect political partner. Denethor is all cunning, a brilliant administrator and military planner, but his forcefulness and brusqueness tends to ruffle more than a few feathers. Finduilas was a master of public relations and diplomacy, building and keeping the coalition that Denethor puts to work. Her death was a massive blow-personally and politically.

Thorongil (I know you’re waiting for this!): It’s such a fraught thing, not just between them but the triangle they form with Ecthelion as well. It is such an underrated ship, though I go back and forward on if it was consummated (maybe only once?).

The awful dynamics. They look like close kin, the absolute narcissism of it. Yet under all of that they agree on almost everything. They’re fighting this terrible battle of wills in the narrowest of margins. I do think part of this is Denethor’s relationship with his own father (I’m going to post something about that soon don’t worry!) It’s a proxy battle as well, Denethor vs Ecthelion, Ecthelion doesn’t want to depend on his son, and so turns to Thorongil. Denethor is therefore faced with a choice, defeat Thorongil or claim him for himself. I think in the end Thorongil manages to disentangle himself from this a little bit, and it’s part of the reason he leaves when he does. I also think Finduilas resembles Arwen (I think Arwen is called Finduilas in a draft?) and seeing Denethor and Finduilas marry is a big thing for Thorongil in many ways, but it is also part of his cue to get out.

💛 (familial relationships): I’ve talked quite a lot about Denethor and his sons, and I’m currently finalising a post about his relationship with his father, so lets go for his sisters! We know he had two older ones.

The eldest (Andreth) I imagine as being quite like him, scholarly, stern and proud. Denethor in youth followed her into the guild of loremasters. She was one of three referees on his entry. Any rumours of nepotism were quickly snuffed out-she proved by far the strictest, saying that Denethor’s lore was merely ‘passable’, though the others were highly impressed. To Denethor though, this was the highest praise he had ever been given. The two did grow much closer after this, and she was one of the pillars of Denethor’s life. Between them they wrote much, particularly on the history of the Húrinionath. She never married and was evacuated with the other women and children before the Battle of the Pelennor fields, much to her fury. She never returned to Minas Tirith.

The younger (Nimloth) was more adventurous. It was she who first took Boromir climbing in the White Mountains, though in youth Denethor and Andreth had often joined her. Friendly enough, not nearly as intimidating as her siblings, but not usually sociable, preferring her own or very close company. Was actually quite close with Thorongil for a time, some speculated they would marry (though in truth she had no interest in men). She died during an expedition early in Denethor’s rule. Her body was never recovered (Denethor forbade Boromir, and Andreth forbade Denethor), but Denethor and Andreth both had visions of her death.
