If you're going to complain about the lack of fics in your fandom, be a darling and don't use the ship tag.

In full support of having cake and eating it, too;

gay!Faramir and bi!Eowyn marriage of convenience, orchestrated by Eomer who's like

"You, lord Faramir, need a wife to give you an heir and not mind the besotted looks you send our King. My dear sister needs a man who won't constrain her to house and hearth or mind the company she keeps. You should talk."

(Little Elboron still grows up well-loved though. Brought along to whever his parents go instead of left with a wet nurse, he can ride before he can walk and has disrupted many a council meeting with his happy babbling.)

#wild poly Gondor is now firmly my headcanon #bi!Aragorn and demi!Arwen had an open relationship from before some of the others were born #King Eomer is the much-burdened het of the group #read a bunch of fics where it's a Thing that Rohan is pro-lgbt while Gondor isn't #so Eomer I imagine as an ally in the way of publicly going #isn't it a SHAME King Elessar that some in your kingdom are so close-minded as to deny their fellow people the happiness of a loving union #and Aragorn is like YES I am DEEPLY SADDENED that SOME MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL would still hold to such ANCIENT and OPPRESSIVE views #he's King side-eye #i will jump any and all hoops to make sure Aragorn/Faramir can make love without being bothered by unnecssary realism #thoughts

I drew more of the him. Weird goth horse boy, funny little snake man, traitor. Whatever, I love this slimeball.

[rohirric-hunter]

Question I just thought of: does Léonys actually speak Rohirric at all?

Léonys spoke a little Rohirric as a young child, but being raised in an environment where no one else spoke it I think she forgot most of it, except for a few words that she most likely forgot the meanings of, and certainly didn't know how to spell. She likely asked Éogar to teach her, but he's busy, and before long she was busy, and as they don't live especially close to each other I don't think that went anywhere.

The thing is, Léonys is good at picking up new languages. I think that over the course of her adventures she picks up a fair bit of Sindarin, a little bit of Black Speech, and a fair bit more of the language the Uch-lûth speak. (Dunlending clans, I imagine, do not all speak the same language or even variations on the same language, but rather a number of different tongues with common roots in what was perhaps once a unified language. These languages may also have been intentionally estranged from their sibling tongues in an effort to keep a clan's secrets from the others, especially with Saruman's meddling and setting the clans against each other.) She also picks up a handful of words from the Falcon Clan, although I believe after the Unpleasantness with them she ends up using them as curse words, if at all.

But to the question at hand -- Léonys knows very little Rohirric. By the time she enters Rohan she is in a very bad headspace and not really learning. She knows a number of greetings and such that she learned from the Rohirrim in the Gravenwood, but mostly speaks Westron during her time in Rohan, limiting her communication to only other people who speak Westron.

I think she learns a little, post-war. Although she has decided to return to Bree, she doesn't entirely abandon her heritage in Rohan, and likely seeks out someone to teach her; however by this point the skill is not one of practical use, so it doesn't stick as well as the other languages she knows. I think she retains some greetings, anything she learned from Théodred, and one other thing: since "Léonys" is not an actual Rohirric name I think at some point she talks to someone who hazards a guess at what her given name might have been, coming up with three or four possibilities. (Most likely including Léofa, her actual given name. Yes, this is the same name as the little girl from the Glittering Caves. This is a complete coincidence, as I came up with Léonys' given name before I did that instance, but I like it so I'm keeping it.) She doesn't change her name, but these possibilities are a connection to her parents, so I think she keeps them close to her heart.

After the war, she may return to Rohan once (although I am not 100% on this), but throughout her life I believe she will have contact with Dunlendings of one description or another, so the ties to that language are a lot stronger.

Eventually one of her children will move to Rohan, I think, and I believe this direct link will cause her to learn a bit more, enough to be at least conversational. But that won't be for years and years.

#lotro #the leonys of rohan cinematic universe #thanks for the ask friend 3 #okay i meant to type <3 but my keyboard had other ideas #anyhow i actually only finished working a lot of this out a couple of weeks ago #the game simplifies a lot of the lingual complication present in lotr (for obvious reasons) #so in terms of storytelling theres a bit of reverse engineering going on trying to figure out how realistically characters communicate #my opinions on dunlending language is also subject to change because i dont know a lot about how languages evolve #in societies structured like that #most of my studies in lingual history focused on the big western languages that were tied to regions and kingdoms and all

Character Profile: Ro

Full Name: Rohan Sai Anderson Kingdom: Avis Generation: 1

*Art by the awesome @harchibudytgorichi​

Rohan becomes one of the first rulers of Avis after marrying Olive. They were the heir of the Mishra people, know for their clan’s ability to seemingly vanish in seconds. Due to their lack of direct fighting, Rohan spends a lot of his early years training in hopes of becoming an equal to Olive with the sword. They are a very relaxed person, but while Olive is calculating, Rohan is emotional. They earned a scar very early in their teen years after leaving his safe position of retreat to save Olive, the then heir of the Anderson clan. The two clans have always had dealings, and a thin alliance, but with the marriage, they solidify the binding of the Anderson and Mishra clans. While Olive handles battles and military advancements, Rohan excelled in the running of the kingdom’s trade and domestic affairs.

OC DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS

02. can your oc play any instruments? have they ever wanted to learn how to play any? why?

uhhh on a purely practical level, yeah, sure, vórimë can technically play the harp and flute, and by the standards of men, she probably wouldn't even sound too bad. by the standards of her fellow elves, though, she absolutely fucking butchers music dshdsjkds. i think that she has a quite clear, sweet singing voice — again, nothing special by elven standards, but enchanting to the race of men — but when it comes to instruments, she's better off leaving that to her more talented kin.

she'd like to be better with the harp especially, because her long-dead mother loved the harp best of all and she'd like to connect with her — and also, honestly, she doesn't like being bad at things. maybe after retiring from arwen's service and heading for eryn lasgalen she picks it up and puts in some practice but idk?

08. does your oc prefer being in a crowd or being completely alone? how many people can be around them before they get uncomfortable?

answered here <333

09. how easily does your oc make friends? do they have difficulty talking to new people? why?

she doesn’t have much difficulty talking to new people — she’s relatively outgoing for an elf, and she’s a quick wit, so even if she’s not necessarily charming (bc she can come across as a little arrogant and intimidating), she’s not all that difficult to talk to — but making and then keeping friends is... difficult for her. she’s outlived a lot of her friends, just bc of the number of wars she’s seen, and because of that she kind of... has trouble actually connecting with people beyond politeness or funny small talk. she doesn’t make the effort with mortals anyway tbqh; it’s too painful. by the third age, she counts arwen, elladan, elrohir, @denerims’ tiriel, and like... possibly haldir? among her friends? maybe? (even if tiriel’s kind of more of an adopted granddaughter in vórimë’s head bc of how young she is) and that’s kind of it sdhdsjk. she’s very lonely tbh.

13. how dangerous is your oc? are they completely innocent, or someone to be feared? do others know?

oh yeah, dangerous. not in a malicious way — vórimë doesn’t pick fights and there’s not an evil bone in her body — but more in a... very capable kind of way? she’s known for her skill in combat; there’s few finer swordsmen in imladris, and she’s definitely the best archer rivendell has. she didn’t become arwen’s bodyguard just bc her dad was pals with elrond (tho that probably helped). 

so she’s not rly someone to be feared (unless like thranduil u get on her bad side) but she’s definitely respected for her capabilities. however, she’s no great legend told around campfires, so unless a person’s resided in rivendell or hung around with a lot of elves from the area, they probably haven’t heard of her. she’s no aragorn, son of arathorn.

17. how well can your oc keep secrets? is there a difference between how they handle their own vs someone else’s? to what lengths would they go to keep something hidden?

i’m honestly not sure omg. i think— i think she honestly probably approaches secrets in much the way a therapist or doctor would; if no one’s going to be hurt, she’ll keep it, but if someone’s in danger, she won’t. arwen is probably the only person vórimë would keep any secret for, purely bc they are so close. she doesn’t have many secrets of her own to keep, so she’s pretty open; the only one i can rly think of is her growing love for thranduil over the years, and that’s mostly out of embarrassment / belief the feelings aren’t reciprocated. it’s also not especially well-hidden; anyone who knows her knows about those feelings, even if they don’t know the details of their relationship.

she’s not a particularly brilliant liar, though, so how successful she’ll be in hiding a secret is questionable. probably if someone could tell that she was lying, she’d admit it, but refuse to elaborate on the secret in details. so i don’t think she’d go especially far to keep a secret; just refuse to speak on the matter, growing steadily agitated if she’s being probed. she wouldn’t like... kill someone to keep a secret.

33. how does your oc’s own perception of themselves compare to how other people see them? is your oc aware that other people see them differently (if it’s different)?

oooooof. i don’t think vórimë’s self-perception is bad, per se; she’s very proud of her capabilities and the things she’s accomplished, and she’s especially smug about having the honour of guarding arwen. but i don’t think that she really... views herself as particularly legendary? she perceives herself in a very utilitarian way; how can she serve, what can she do, what use is she in a given situation? she doesn’t really let herself just... breathe. 

whereas i think other people yes, do see her for these capabilities and her prowess in battle, as well as the wisdom she’s gained through experience, but not just as a tool to be used. to others like thranduil, she’s laughter in a quiet room, or sunlight washing over the trees. she’s a safe place to land — even if she does come across as somewhat intimidating on first meeting. and i’m not sure if she’s even aware of that tbh dshdsjk

#just realised she's adopted both the queen of the reunited kingdom and the queen of rohan so she stays winning actually <3 #thank u so so much for askin oli!!!!! i love any excuse to talk abt My Baby #answered #coffeebucko #ch: vórimë

[tangledstarlight]

there’s just something about that moment in a fantasy story where alliances that were ignored for years, decades, centuries, even in times of great war get recognised again before the big finale battle

#yes i am thinking about gondor calling for aid and rohan answering #and when the elves show up at helms deep #but also that moment at the end of empire of stroms when alien has called in all her favours and made people remember they promised to help #her kingdom once upon a time and they failed once but they better not fail again

[sindar-princeling]

mixed feelings about Tolkien making people of the east and south come to Aragorn for pardon like he's actual jesus christ on judgement day, but I really appreciate that Tolkien's idea of a good king is 1) realising that the true enemy is defeated, and not making the war last longer that it needs to last 2) sending free the people who used to be on the other side of the war, but now come to you in peace 3) freeing slaves 4) giving people their land (the woses's land is their own and no-one is allowed to enter without their permission, same for the shire, rohan does not become a part of the Reunited Kingdom, slaves of mordor get land of their own)
