the lotr trilogy are the best movies on earth but one thing i’ll never forgive them is the complete lack of aragorn and éomer friendship. i know i already made a post abt it but i honestly cannot believe these two talked One time in the movies while in the books they became literal besties. what do you mean they promised they’ll fight together, draw swords together, upon literally their first meeting, then repeated the same promise later again and again. what do you mean “Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail.” what do you mean “And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the Sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of the South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard, and the White Horse upon Green flew in many winds until Éomer grew old.” LIKE HELLO?????

You know what's unbearably adorable to me? When Éomer grieves Boromir's death by noting that Boromir seemed to him "more like to the swift sons of Eorl than to the grave Men of Gondor." Éomer doesn’t give a shit about Gondor’s illustrious history and culture and lineage and status. The best and highest compliment Éomer can think to give to a Gondorian he admired is to say, "he was one of us."

“Over the field rang his clear voice calling: 'Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!'” Éomer the Return if the King
Éomer is the Zendaya of drawing for me. I could not for the life of me get him to look right.

And so at length Éomer and Aragorn met in the midst of the battle, and they leaned on their swords and looked on one another and were glad. ‘Thus we meet again, though all the hosts of Mordor lay between us,’ said Aragorn. ‘Did I not say so at the Hornburg?’ ‘So you spoke,’ said Éomer, ‘but hope oft deceives, and I knew not then that you were a man foresighted. Yet twice blessed is help unlooked for, and never was a meeting of friends more joyful.’ And they clasped hand in hand.

Characters who really need therapy
The fellowship: All the shit they went through
The Company: All the shit they went through
Faramir: Childhood abuse and neglect
Éowyn: Childhood abuse and anger issues
Éomer: Childhood abuse, and working through his internalized misogyny and homophobia
Gandalf: He died for a minute or three
Galadriel: Anger and control issues
Every other person in middle earth: We almost got invaded and killed by orca
Characters who are actually fine
Elrond and his kids

I deeply love all of the little echoes between the Silmarillion and LOTR, but this is one of my faves:
Last of all Húrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew Húrin cried: ‘Aurë entuluva! Day shall come again!’
-Húrin at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears (C. 20, the Silmarillion)
"Hail, Lord of the Mark," said Éomer. "The dark night has passed, and day has come again."
-Éomer at the Battle of Helm's Deep (C. 6, Two Towers)
Naturally, I adore the fact that Éomer is the echo of Húrin, almost definitely the single most badass human of the entire First Age (and arguably of the first two ages!). What an honor for our horse boy! The echoing quote could easily have gone instead to Aragorn or an elf, both of whom are descendants of traditions that go all the way back to those First Age events where Húrin did his thing. But instead, the line went to the heir of a newer, younger people—a people who are, in many ways, more representative of the future of Middle Earth than the old, historical communities that have been in decline or fading for some time. So I love that choice of pairing. Húrin and Éomer feels less expected but more fitting to me.
Of course, the outcomes for these two are starkly different. Húrin is facing a crushing defeat and is about to be subjected to the wrath and punishment of Morgoth himself, which leaves him permanently destroyed emotionally. Éomer has just come out of an unexpected victory and is headed for another, at the end of which he can rebuild a happy life and even come to carry the royal title of Éomer Éadig, the Blessed. But I think that's the point of the echo.
Húrin did all that was possible (and arguably more!) for a human to do in the circumstances he faced, and in the end it wasn't enough. He never gets to enjoy a new morning. But that doesn’t mean he was wrong. Day does come again. It comes for Éomer. Because if there is one thing Tolkien wants us to know, it’s that you never give in to despair. You keep going and you try again, because eventually someone will find that sunrise and live to enjoy its warmth and brightness.

'And I will come, too,' said Gimli. 'The matter of the Lady Galadriel lies still between us. I have yet to teach you gentle speech.'
'We shall see,' said Éomer. 'So many strange things have chanced that to learn the praise of a fair lady under the loving strokes of a Dwarf's axe will seem no great wonder. Farewell!'
one of the most sentences ever
