Hello! Do you have a favorite character from each race of Middle Earth?

Oooooh noooooo another really hard question to answer! Oh this is difficult... One character? One?????

By the way, thank you so much for the ask :) I'm just having trouble choosing from among THE BEST CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME. It's taking a lot of effort on my part from just...listing all of Tolkien's characters... But you said one.

Alright, well, I think I HAVE to choose Éowyn for the race of Men, seeing as I identify with her more than practically any character ever written.

And I'll choose Frodo for the Hobbits. I love him. I will always love him.

And I'll choose Finrod for the Elves. But there are so many Elves that I love! But my goodness, I do love Finrod.

And I'll choose Gimli for the Dwarves. Gimli is the best! I want to be Gimli's friend RIGHT NOW.

Are we doing Maiar? Then it's obviously Gandalf. Gandalf is one of my favorite characters of all time.

And if we're doing Valar, then I'll choose Nienna.

I’m really tired of everyone who keeps on saying that the very idea of Frodo & Sam being in love somehow “ruins the story’s theme of close platonic friendship.”

Are y’all forgetting Merry & Pippin?

Are y’all forgetting Legolas & Gimli?

Are y’all forgetting Frodo & Merry?

Are y’all forgetting Frodo & Pippin?

Are y’all forgetting Sam & Pippin?

Are y’all forgetting Sam & Merry?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & Legolas?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & Gimli?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & the hobbits?

Are y’all forgetting Legolas & the hobbits?

Are y’all forgetting Gimli & the hobbits?

Are y’all forgetting Boromir & the hobbits?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & Boromir?

Are y’all forgetting Bilbo & Gandalf?

Are y’all forgetting Frodo & Gandalf?

Are y’all forgetting Pippin & Gandalf?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & Gandalf?

Are y’all forgetting Pippin & Faramir?

Are y’all forgetting Aragorn & Éomer?

Are y’all forgetting Pippin & Beregond? (only in the book)

Are y’all forgetting Pippin & Bergil? (also only in the book)

Are y’all forgetting Treebeard & the hobbits?

Are y’all forgetting the entire Fellowship as the surrogate family that they are?

I just listed 23 examples of close platonic friendship in this story.

But sure, if a 24th example is romantic instead, that completely eradicates the other 23 examples and means the story isn’t about platonic friendship at all.

Sure.

Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 4

Thuringwethil vs Beregond

Thuringwethil:

The vampire servant of Sauron whose cloak Lúthien uses as a disguise.

Her name means “Woman of Secret Shadow”, she's Sauron's herald, she takes the form of a vampire, it's implied she can shape-shift. Peak aesthetic!

Beregond:

A Man of Gondor and one of the Guards of the Citadel, who abandoned his post to save Faramir’s life.

loyal, friendly, good dad

Brain empty, only thinking of Boromir Lives AU where he comes home, learns what happened in his absence and runs off to give Beregond the most bear like man made bear hug ever made!

For years afterwards Beregond will tell the story how he survived the war unscathed and only really feared for his life when half smothered by a thankful Boromir!

It's time to ask the most pressing LOTR question of them all:

Faramir is excluded to give other Stewards a chance because he was only briefly Ruling Steward.

*Best means what it means to you!

**Movie Denethor does not count for the purposes of this poll.

Talking about my beloved Háma earlier this week got me thinking again about how Beregond is the Háma of Gondor. One of the ways Tolkien showed us how bound together Gondor and Rohan were as countries was by drawing explicit parallels between individual Gondorians and Rohirrim (like Boromir and Théodred), and it happens for everyone's favorite guards, too. They have some differences (I mean, Háma dies 😭), but they’re much more alike than not.

Most importantly, they’re both soldiers—part of a very hierarchical, duty-bound structure—who nonetheless decide in key moments to disregard orders and follow their own judgment and good sense instead. Háma will let Gandalf violate the ban on weapons in Meduseld and Beregond will leave his post and literally slay anyone facilitating the burning of Faramir because their hearts and minds tell them that sometimes laws must be broken in service of a larger morality. That takes courage, independence of thought, and a strong sense of self. By disobeying, they both knowingly risk punishment—and, indeed, both are punished—but they do it anyway because they know it’s right. And ultimately, both are forgiven and honored because everyone can see they made correct, if unlawful, decisions. (This parallel is also replicated a little further up the respective hierarchies because Éomer and Faramir are also both noted mavericks who choose at pivotal moments to aid members of the Fellowship even though, by law, those outsiders should be arrested or killed. So, again, parallels between pairs of Gondorians and Rohirrim abound!)

I like that Tolkien takes care to show that it’s not just the folks at the very top of communities of Men that can have and display these really admirable and noble traits. It’s important for there to be a Háma and a Beregond so that we know these lands of Men are worth protecting—there is goodness there! And of course it fits very neatly with the “small hands do great deeds” theme of LOTR overall. Háma and Beregond each change the course of history when they trust to their own worth and hold to their own values, no matter the circumstances or consequences.

So that’s the biggest/weightiest parallel for Háma and Beregond, but it’s certainly not the only one. They both work for prestigious military units in the capital city of their countries. They both play formal roles in granting our major characters access to those cities. They’re both firsthand witnesses to the mental manipulation and torment of their leaders (Théoden and Denethor) by an enemy. They both get joyful moments witnessing the healing of a beloved lord. They’re both Gandalf enthusiasts in places where not everyone respects or welcomes Gandalf’s presence. They both demonstrate a willingness to draw swords on anyone they perceive as threatening their lords. They’re both pretty adept at rolling with it when things take a really weird turn (I mean, really, the legendary lost heir of Elendil shows up on Háma’s doorstep claiming to be friends with a mythical elf-sorceress, and he just goes with it. And Beregond has never seen a hobbit before and maybe isn’t even sure they’re real when one is thrust on him, and he immediately makes Pip his buddy!).

Those are the canon parallels, but I would be remiss if I didn’t finish by specifying that @brigwife and I agree it is rock solid head canon that Háma and Beregond met somehow and became actual long distance best friends. It’s only natural that they’d get along given how much they have in common—just two absolute gems of the race of Men who would totally love and appreciate one another. And I’d like to think that even as Háma’s legacy is commemorated at his resting place in Rohan, there’s also a little memorial for him in Gondor built by Beregond in a beautiful, peaceful part of Ithilien. During Beregond’s lifetime it stands as a tribute to his enduring friendship with Háma, and in later days, when anyone who knew them is gone, it stands instead as a tribute to the enduring friendship of Gondor and Rohan.

#lotr #lord of the rings #tolkien #rohan #gondor #háma #hama #beregond #guards and brothers #rulebreakers and freethinkers #if you know anything about how i feel about háma #you know what a compliment this comparison is to beregond

Now I watched Boromir and listened to him, from Rivendell all down the road – looking after my master, as you'll understand, and not meaning any harm to Boromir – and it's my opinion that in Lórien he first saw clearly what I guessed sooner: what he wanted. From the moment he first saw it he wanted the Enemy's Ring!' 'Sam!' cried Frodo aghast. He had fallen deep into his own thoughts for a while, and came out of them suddenly and too late. 'Save me!' said Sam turning white, and then flushing scarlet. 'There I go again! When ever you open your big mouth you put your foot in it the Gaffer used to say to me, and right enough. O dear, O dear!

'Well,' said Pippin. 'I have known of him all my short life, as you might say; and lately I have travelled far with him. But there is much to read in that book, and I cannot claim to have seen more than a page or two. Yet perhaps I know him as well as any but a few. Aragorn was the only one of our Company, I think, who really knew him.' 'Aragorn?' said Beregond. 'Who is he?' 'Oh,' stammered Pippin, 'he was a man who went about with us. I think he is in Rohan now.'

HELP, somebody needs to teach these Hobbits not to accidentally spill information left and right!!

#my heart is gonna stop if they keep doing this #thank god everything ended up fine in frodo and sam's case #and beregond didn't question pippin further #but oh my god!! guys!! be careful!!#lotr newsletter #lotr newsletter march 7th #lotr newsletter march 9th

Denethor: We have a Category 55 Emergency Doomsday Crisis.

Faramir: A Category 55 Emergency Doomsday Crisis!?

Pippin: Sorry, what is a Category 55 Emergency Doomsday Crisis?

Faramir: It's nothing, it's a tiny little inconvenience. Beregond, could you show us to a private room where no one can see or hear us, even if I yell very loudly out of fear?
