look, we are not unspectacular things. we've come this far, survived this much. what would happen if we decided to survive more? to love harder?

post trimming hates blythe in specific for me
0 notes
it's a feeling éowyn knows all too well. the helpless knowledge that after the fighters have ridden off you are on your own, you are left at home with a knife in your shaking and unskilled hands to be spoils or victim once the war breaches your door. "of course. would you rather we do these lessons somewhere less open?" out here there's no lack of guards and other folk who could report what they see back to people who don't want alice to know their way around a blade. "it isn't. it quite nearly killed me, and i won." éowyn finds it easier to speak about now, but there is still a certain twinge that runs from shoulder to elbow to fingertips of her left arm. alice's question gets a shake of the head from her as éowyn sheathes her sword. "no. i have no desire to return to the field again. once it seemed a ... place to find something i was missing," to find glory, to find a death better than wasting away in a cage until she was a pale ghost of herself with no accomplishments or joys in her life to name, "but i did not find it on the battleground and i never will. this," a hand rests on the hilt of her sheathed blade, "is sport to me, now, and i suppose a worst-case scenario."
“ i would like that. with my father aging as he is and my brothers and many of the knights of the castle off to battle, i don’t want to rely on just hoping that my scream is heard in time. ” their lips press together, smiling in an odd but sad way. it could betray something much deeper, but alice doesn’t let it. not in this moment, at least. “ i’ve never understood the tales and the songs. taking the life of another person should not be glorified. ” maybe it’s because they wrote their own songs and tales, and to tell one of war and destruction never crossed their mind. they wanted their songs to uplift, not fill with dread. “ do you have to go out there often? i’ve seen my brothers once they return — and i do not wish that kind of horror on anyone. ”

we cried because we had lost something and gained something else. and because it hurt both losing and gaining. and because we knew what we had lost but weren't as yet able to put into words what it was we had gained.

the look in her eyes brings forward something tender in éowyn's heart and her fingers tighten gently around lothíriel's, a soft squeeze to try and ground her rather than let her be washed out with the tide. the little laugh seems almost abrupt and éowyn sits silently in order to let the other pull her thoughts together into something solid. there's no need to ask if she feels the same ; éowyn is well aware. how could she not? lothíriel is just as guilty of stealing longing, pining looks when éomer has his back turned. the pair of them are near infuriating with this act, oft performed multiple times a night. once éowyn had counted that it happened thrice in the span of one meal.
"it may be one of the things i am most certain of in this world," she answers with a smile that crinkles the corners of her eyes, "i know my brother well, and he looks at you as if you hung the moon in the sky." it was, truly, a touch disconcerting at first to see the look in his eye. she figures he may have felt the same way when he arrived back at the houses of healing and found éowyn and faramir looking at each other with much the same glow of love in their eyes. that is what it is ; a certain light that grows within the gaze of one in love. "faramir has noted it as well, if that lends any more credence to the idea."
despite any lingering concern, a smile breaks across lothíriel's face at the utter relief in éowyn's sigh. any other day, she would have laughed. as it is, whatever thread of nerves and anticipation this conversation has created twists too tight to permit it. "it is probably like another language, for those used to speaking plainly," she says. "you will master it in time if you choose, though i rather hope that you will not." the thought of éowyn speaking like the most ambitious courtier feels as unnatural as seeing the sea go still in a windstorm.
whatever it is that éowyn wishes to tell her, it is clear that doing so even in plain honest terms is somehow complicated. she pauses long enough to feel that thread tighten further. it only grows worse as éowyn reaches over to take her hand, though - - somehow - - the direct way she looks at her, eye to eye, is steadying.
the words rush over and around her, tugging at her like an undertow, threatening to pull her out to sea. (you are the one i believe my brother will miss...the way he looks at you...never seen him look at another that way...) she cannot be sure she isn't dreaming it, that she isn't - - at this moment - - dozing in a window with a book fallen open on her lap. it is only the squeeze of éowyn's fingers that convinces her otherwise. "i..." she blinks several times in quick succession, helplessly feeling the warmth rising in her cheeks, unable to stop it. a thousand feelings and a hundred thousand thoughts, and she cannot find a way to voice any of them. now she does laugh, so briefly she wonders if she made the noise at all.
it would be a cruelty, to say such a thing without truth, and she does not think éowyn cruel. more, it would be against so much lothíriel has learned of the people of rohan - - the value they place on speaking the truth. and so she does not, even for a moment, believe this is scheme or lie. instead, she all but whispers only two words, spoken shyly and yet with a hope she cannot hide: "are you certain?"

no, not the artful postures of love, not playful and poetical games of love for the amusement of an evening, but love that… overthrows life. unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture.
SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE
1998, dir. John Madden

combat antisemitism when you see it. a lot of us have turned a passive eye to nazi imagery but our silence is deadly, and normalized imagery or allusions to it lead to what we’re seeing now. call it out when you see it and support your jewish and roma mutuals.

“As other girls prayed for handsomeness in a lover, or for wealth, or for power, or for poetry, she had prayed fervently: let him be kind.”
