Gamling, lecturing Eowyn and Eomer: All I'm saying is that getting hurt isn't cool.

Theoden: You don't have kids, do you?

[from-the-coffee-shop-in-edoras]

Hello, as the resident Rohan Person, I was wondering if you have any thoughts/headcanons about Gamling? He's one of my fav background characters in the books. No worries if not and very much looking forward to hearing more about Gúthlaf and Wídfara!

Oh my gosh! I love that you love Gamling! He doesn’t appear in a lot of the story, but when he’s there, he’s great – wise and observant and educated and still a mighty warrior despite being an old man. (Sorry to Bruce Hopkins, who I like, but he was way too young to be cast as a character who is literally called Gamling the Old!)

Gamling is someone that I haven’t *entirely* worked out in my head canon yet. Part of me really likes the idea that he’s actually Erkenbrand’s father – that Gamling was himself lord of the Westfold during his prime years and turned the job over to his son once he got old. But then when things started to go to shit with Isengard and the Westfold got increasingly dangerous, Erkenbrand asked his dad to come back into service to help out and that’s how he ended up commanding Helm’s Dike. 

That gives an explanation to something that always stuck out to me when Aragorn and the others first arrive at Helm’s Deep…Gamling tells them that his “son’s son” is there to fight alongside him, but his son doesn’t seem to be there. You’d think that the son would have been the first called into action since the grandson is noted to be too young to really be in the fight, so where is this kid's dad? Well, if he’s Erkenbrand, he’s out dealing with the aftermath of the Second Battle of the Fords of Isen and won’t be back until later. And Gamling DOES take the first opportunity to ask for news about Erkenbrand, which, as his father, he would presumably very much want to know! (We also see that both Gamling and Erkenbrand speak Dunlendish, so it would make sense that Erkenbrand learned it from his father – lords of the Westfold are well served to know how to communicate with the nearest neighbors.)

That’s kind of the limit of my formal thoughts so far, though he’s definitely someone I want to get more into. As a member of Théoden’s generation, they could have had some good adventures together when they were both younger men. And the whole Dunlendish thing could lend itself to making him a distant ancestor of Freca, the dude of mixed Dunlending and Rohirrim ancestry who got into it with Helm Hammerhand and got himself punched to death. Most of Freca’s family went on to ally themselves with Dunland (which is a reasonable thing to do when the king of Rohan has just murdered your father and then declared your whole family to be enemies of the state!), but maybe there were some relatives who stuck it out in Rohan and worked hard to prove themselves loyal to the throne in Edoras through great service? I’m undecided on that, but it’s interesting to think about!

What I am most interested to know now, though, is about why YOU love Gamling! What makes him stick out to you as a favorite background character? Or, I could send that to you as an Ask if you’d prefer so that you could answer it as separate post?

"Hey Waffles! Did you know you were in an action film?"

Red Valley season 2 finale taken wildly out of context

Click for higher quality. Zoom in on Waffles, picture without text and a surprise detail under the cut

GORDON: Hey Waffles. We're just going to keep you in here for a bit so you're ready to go. Look, there's kitchen roll and lettuce, all your favourites. This was an ice cream tub. I haven't got any ice cream for you but what's this? It's a Top Trump card. From Lord of the Rings. It's...who's that...Gamling. Who the hell was Gamling? Mad beard. You can eat this one. There you go.

So.... I couldn't find a Gamling card so I made one out of an Eomer card (ignore the description I'm too lazy to change it) xD

Weekly Poll, Part Two:

*specifically a dude who is alive and involved during the events of LotR; and during or prior to that time has/had biological progeny, even if said progeny is dead before the story starts; adoptive fathers, sadly, are currently not applicable

#poll time! #lord of the rings #lotr #celeborn #gamling #gloin #thranduil #various unremarkable hobbits #all the dudes here have various reasons for getting into the 'honorable mentions' penalty box #including 'limited opportunities to demonstrate dadliness' or 'kid is dead' or 'straight up wasn't in the story' #but they're still dads so it counts

“'The staff in the hand of a wizard may be more than a prop for age,' said Háma. He looked hard at the ash-staff on which Gandalf leaned. 'Yet in doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom. I believe you are friends and folk worthy of honour, who have no evil purpose. You may go in.'" "Gamling the Old looked down from the Hornburg, hearing the great voice of the dwarf above all the tumult. 'The Orcs are in the Deep!' he cried. 'Helm! Helm! Forth Helmingas!' he shouted as he leaped down the stair from the Rock with many men of Westfold at his back." "There suddenly upon a ridge appeared a rider, clad in white, shining in the rising sun. Over the low hills the horns were sounding. Behind him, hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands. Amid them strode a man tall and strong. His shield was red. As he came to the valley's brink, he set to his lips a great black horn and blew a ringing blast. 'Erkenbrand!' the Riders shouted. 'Erkenbrand!'”

I just love those Rohirrim side characters *sob*

I actually called Erkenbrands name out loud when he appeared, because every time I read it, the horror of the long night of Helm’s Deep really gets to me and I’m so relieved when it is over.

Elfwine Chronicles (new LoTR stories, You Want What? posted, 12-7-22)

Eomer’s daughter makes a surprising request during the Yule celebrations.  (Fluff, seasonal)

 You Want What?  -  (Dec, 13 IV)

Eomer led his family into Meduseld and they gathered around the firepit to warm up after their day’s outing in the snow.  Suspecting the younger children needed a nap – Theomund had been dozing on the way home in the sleigh – Lothiriel asked, “Elfwine, would you get the children into dry clothes and tell them a story while they lay down for a while?”

Her eldest son grinned knowingly at her.  This was not the first time she had used this tactic to get his younger siblings to take a nap without complaint.  The idea of a story, while they laid on the bed, was sufficient distraction, and they were asleep before they even noticed.  The two were eagerly tugging at Elfwine’s hands, anxious to hear one of his tales, and he followed them off toward the nursery.

Lothiriel was not far behind, as she made her way to her bedchamber to change into dry clothes before overseeing the preparations for the evening’s feast.  The two days prior to Yule and the two days after Yule were primarily only spent with family and friends, but for the two days of Yule anyone in Edoras could come to Meduseld to celebrate, if they so desired.  Even so, the merriment was more family oriented than many feasts that were held, and drinking to excess was not a particularly accepted activity for these two days.

Eomer checked in with the housekeeper and let her know he would return shortly to help set up the tables in the main hall.  For these two days, everyone pitched in and the work was not left for the servants to do it all.  Families that came to the feast brought food with them to contribute and ease the cooking burden, and the men all turned up to do the manual labor tasks of setting up tables and benches, hauling extra firewood and the like.  Even the king was not exempt, which rather pleased him.

Over an hour later, Eomer, Gamling and Eothain sat talking quietly, enjoying one another’s company and a tankard of ale while they awaited the beginning of the festivities.  A thundering of feet attracted their attention, and the three men turned to see Eomer’s youngest children, Theodwyn and Theomund, running toward them.

“Guess who’s awake?” Eomer murmured to this companions, who grinned in amusement as the toddlers launched themselves at their father.

“Papa, Papa!” exclaimed Theodwyn, scrambling up into his lap and tugging Theomund up behind her. 

Eomer settled a child on each thigh, and then reached for his tankard of ale and took a swallow. Just as he did, Theodwyn blurted out loudly, “Papa, can we get an Oliphaunt?”

The tankard slammed down on the table as the contents of Eomer’s mouth spewed across the table, causing Gamling and Eothain to lurch sideways out of its path.  Coughing, Eomer gasped, “Can we get what?”

“An Oliphaunt! Elfwine told us all about them and how you killed two of them in the War.  Can we get one, please!  I would take care of it!  I promise!” She began bouncing on his leg in her enthusiasm and he fought to restrain her.

“Hold on, dearest! Oliphaunts are not pets.  They are huge and mean and deadly.  I killed two of them so that they did not kill many more of us.  Why would you want one?”

“We could tame it!” she pleaded.  “We could build a paddock outside the walls for it to live in and it could eat the grass on the plains and I could go for rides on it!  I bet I could ride all the way to Gondor in just one day!  Please, Papa!  It would be so wonderful!”

Theomund decided to lend support to his sister.  “The’wyn get Ol’fant?  Please, Papa?”

Eothain and Gamling sat smirking across the table, having wiped off the ale that had splattered them. Sarcastically, Gamling inquired, “Shall I draft a letter to the Haradrim, my lord?”
