The vast majority of Eomer’s “Men”:
Tumblr media
My headcanon is that due to the rural nature of Rohan and its overall decline, a huge number of the Rohirrim were actually women in disguise, not just Eowyn. And that it was an open secret that only the royal line didn’t know about that local lords fielded women riders to bolster their dwindling numbers

Okay here to talk Eowyn and how the slights and disrespect she gets are more annoying than listening to Gollum talk to himself all day...
People who act like Aragorn dislikes/disdains her just because he doesn't return her romantic feelings are living in that incel mindset that women can only be admired as matrons or sexual objects. Aragorn the king of wholesome masculinity admires the heck out of Eowyn. Refers to her as the fairest thing in Rohan. He values her friendship and her place as a fundamental bullwark of her people.
People who act like she's somehow pathetic because she falls for someone who doesn't return her affection are not living in reality. They're lost in some Hollywood/porn centric view of romance where women are always sexually desired and if they aren't well then something is wrong with them. Faramir very clearly lays out what happened. She who had been treated rather like a utility in her household meets the last and greatest of the men of Numenor. Truly a man above all others. And of course she's bedazzled. Then there's the fact that he seems to truly see her (albeit on his side just platonic admiration and desire for friendship) and she matters and of course for someone who has been sidelined to tending to her aging uncle this draws her in. There's no fault on Aragorn but as any girl whose femininity and/or personhood has gone largely ignored will tell you it can be quite heady when someone actually notices you as a whole person, femininity included.
And finally her moment with the Witch-King being stolen from her like she did nothing. Ignores all these facts
1. Merry wouldn't have been there to stab him if not for her
2. It's very clearly a dual credit thing both in the passage and in the appendix footnotes
3. Nothing explicitly says that without Merry and his barrow-blade that she couldn't kill the witch-king. She's not a man while Merry is not a Man. The whole thing was based off of an elven prophecy which prophecies seldom are straightforward in their wording and don't even always come true (ask Treebeard) so there's nothing conclusive to say that her jamming a sword in his face wouldn't have done the trick with or without Merry. His role is certainly important because if nothing else prophecy or no he did distract the Witch-King with his blow allowing Eowyn to press an advantage but absolutely nothing there discredits her accomplishment in slaying the Witch-King of Angmar and people trying to act like Merry "made it easy for her" need to shove a barrow-blade where the sun don't shine
Small note here too. People who want to criticize her cooking are wrong in multiple aspects.
A. That's only in the films and a deleted scene at that.
B. It's sexist as hell to base a woman's merit off of her cooking skills. You go hamstring an oliphant and make a souffle then anonymous dudebro hating on Eowyn
C. If you think Eowyn's only accomplishments are "masculine" she does have a great talent with "feminine arts" as in she's a healer and gardener in Ithilien and by virtue of her spouse she's a freaking princess given Faramir is the Prince of Ithilien
So in conclusion if you want to diss Eowyn for any of the above mentioned off base arguments you can kiss Gollum's scrawny arse

I'm working on fleshing out the plot for my farawyn & eothiriel fancomic and it's,,, y'all,,, this is literally gonna take me like 20 years to finish 😱🤣🤔🫡
It's gonna be hella long 😳 The first chapter alone is gonna be over 25 pages long, and I already have 3-5 chapters planned for and that's not even close to the finish line lol let alone the halfway mark of the story (i mean, it's probably equal to a long-ish fic, but comics take so much more time to tell 🫠). Also I cannot wait for y'all to meet Lothiriel in just a few pages 🤩
Anyway, I'm thinking of MAYBE adding early access pages of this comic and a few others to a low cost tier on my patreon once it's relaunched/revamped bc I really want to be able to post at least one or two pages a month 🤔 tho i'm hoping to maybe post weekly on patreon, so it'd be early access AND faster update schedule, if I go this route. That way i don't feel guilty for spending hours a day/week working on these comics lolll
anyway, i'm having so much fun working on this story 🥰🤗

I’ve always been curious to know more about what happened with the crew left behind at Edoras while the others were gone:
Tumblr media
So we’ve got Eowyn, Faramir, Imrahil, and Arwen all chilling back in Meduseld. I imagine Arwen is feeling quite alone; her husband, her dad and her people have all left. Eowyn isn’t intimidated because she’s fearless and probably very much in need of a cool new bff now that Merry has gone too. So it’s time to ditch the lads and go on a ladies picnic!
Tumblr media
They both lost their mothers at a young age. Eowyn then lost her dad AND her father figure, while Arwen said goodbye forever to her dad. They both got left behind from the action by their brother/s. They both married into Gondor. Arwen can tell interesting stories. Eowyn can help teach non-elf customs.

I really like how you draw eowyn could you please do a tutorial or show us tips?
OH. Oh wow! Sure, I’d love to! It’s pretty simple, really.
Tumblr media
Step One: Get Head. I have a variety of different face shapes that I use to differentiate characters from each other. I can sorta break it down into three categories:
Face height: Long, Medium, or Short
Jaw shape: Triangle, Square, or Circle
Face fat content: Gaunt, Angular, Average, Soft, or Pudgy
Mixing and matching these gets you different face shapes that you can tailor to express the personalities of the characters. Pippin is short + triangle + soft. Aragorn is long + square + angular. Gaunt and Pudgy face shapes are reserved mostly for Gollum and Sam, respectively. Eowyn falls somewhere in the realm of medium + triangle + soft when it comes to her face shape.
Tumblr media
Step Two: Silhouette. I’m only drawing her from the shoulders up here, but the principle is the same when I’m drawing the rest of her body too: think long, slender, and no hard angles. Eowyn has a long, slender neck, narrow wrists, and thin fingers. She has a slight hourglass figure, but she has a tiny bust and her hips are not very wide. I try to keep in mind that when she’s wearing armor, she looks indistinguishable from a young man, so even though she’s pretty, her figure isn’t overly feminine.
Tumblr media
Step Three: Eyes. I also have a lot of different eye shapes to choose from! Sam, Pippin, and Legolas are Round, Frodo and Aragorn are Slender, Merry and Gimli are Square, and so on. Eowyn’s eye shape is Round but with a little wing on the side to give the impression of thicker eyelashes. (I also realized on this step that I didn't make her cheek round enough, so I fixed that. I'm always making micro-adjustments like that as I draw.)
Tumblr media
Step Four: Face. Again, think “long and slender”. Eowyn has a thin little button nose, a small-ish mouth, and very narrow eyebrows. Her ear shape is one of my rounder ones, but only because I think it’s cute.
Tumblr media
Step Five: Hair, The Beginning. So this is where the hard part starts. Most of my characters have hair that either covers their forehead (eg. the hobbits) or doesn’t (eg. elves), but Eowyn’s hair does both. It’s also parted on the side, which makes it asymmetrical. I’ll show you how it works from this angle, but I have to get more creative when I, say, draw her from the other side. (I always have to keep in mind the shape of her hair, imagining it as a 3-D object and drawing it as such.)
So here we're gonna draw the bottom outline of her bangs where they sit on her forehead. Pick an “origin point” on the side of her head, where the hairline sits. Make a little jagged squiggle there to represent the roots of her hair. Then one little S-shaped swoop to show where her hair springs out of that point and then goes behind her ear, and a BIG S-shaped swoop up and then down over one eye. These lines form a slight “m” shape—with the “origin point” in the middle—and that makes the hair look like it has volume and lift, as opposed to just sitting flat on her head.
Tumblr media
Step Six: Hair, The Second. With the bottom outline covered, let's take care of the top. Again, hair has volume, so it doesn't sit exactly flat on her scalp, but hovers above it in little hills; the closest it sits to her skin is that line where it's parted on the side of her head. I use faint, loose lines here, just trying to capture the flowing, wavy texture. Think Ariel’s hair from The Little Mermaid; you know, with the iconic swoopy floppy bit right in front of her eyes.
Tumblr media
Step Seven: Hair, The Third. Eowyn’s hair goes down to about her mid-back, and it’s very thick and wavy, which I portray by using pretty much only S-shaped lines as I draw. It’s impossible to think about the physics of every strand of hair individually, so I’m drawing it in sort of loose “chunks” or “ropes”, keeping in mind how all those “ropes” would interact with each other and the shape of her body that they’re sitting on. You can see that most clearly in the “rope” of hair that lies on her shoulder. There’s no need to think too hard about this, but I always have it in the back of my mind somewhere.
Tumblr media
Step Eight: The Frecklening. Now to add some details, including the lines on her neck and collarbone, the off-the-shoulder dress, and a bajillion freckles. She actually has less freckles on her neck than Pippin does—I concentrate it more on her cheeks and shoulders instead—but it’s still a lot, LOL! They are also on the backs of her arms and hands, where she’s most likely to be touched by the sun.
Tumblr media
Step Nine: SHADING. This is why it’s important to think of what you’re drawing as a 3-D object, ‘cause you’re gonna have to work out how light interacts with it. There’s a shadow on her neck under her chin, of course, but where this gets really interesting is when it comes to the hair: because she’s blonde, I don’t shade her hair except a) at the hairline and b) on the bottom side of the waves, where shadows would form.
The darkest shading is on the underside of her hair. Think of it like putting a hood on your head while standing under a lightbulb: the outside of the hood gets light, but the inside, next to your head, is in shadow. Similarly, we can see the shadows on the underside of Eowyn’s hair, and especially under the floppy Ariel bangs. Adding that shadow gives the bangs the illusion of volume, which is exactly what I’m going for.
(EDIT: Forgot to mention that when I'm adding shadows to hair, the lines I'm drawing actually follow the path that the hair takes. The shadows on Eowyn's hair swoop and curve and wave because, well...that's what her hair is doing. There are some exceptions when I'll ignore the texture of hair and just shade it in with straight lines of hatching—especially when it's so dark it won't matter much anyway—but for the most part, "follow the texture" is my rule of thumb.)
Tumblr media
Step Ten: DONE! A couple more details—including shading where her hair casts a shadow on her skin, and more freckles—and that’s it!
I hope that helps, Anon! I kinda skimmed over the basics here—like why I draw that + shape as a guideline on the face—but I’m assuming you already have some experience in drawing and just want to know the thought process behind my design. Feel free to send another ask if you need to know anything specific! Thanks for asking!

White Ladies
Okay so I find it fascinating how Faramir first uses the title "white lady" to refer to Galadriel of Lorien and then later gives it to Eowyn. To me it seems to signify that he holds her in an equal esteem to the Lady of the Golden Wood. Which just wow.
And in a way Eowyn is to Galadriel what Faramir is to Aragorn. Not in a sense of lineage but as Faramir is described as less lofty but no less noble so too one could compare Eowyn to Galadriel. Less ancient and remote but no less fair or brave or worthy of admiration. Faramir sees Eowyn as both a warrior heroine worthy of being the blissful queen of a realm but also as a flesh and blood woman with hurts and sorrows and desires.
