Now dear Théodred lies in darkness, most loyal of fighters. The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior; nor shall the man hold a golden wine-cup, nor good hawk swing through the hall, nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard...

Help I’ve hit Rohan and it’s like watching Fullmetal Alchemist in English… this is our military dictator, firstname King… everyone else is named after a WWII fighter jet but don’t worry about it… only this experience is packed in alongside some of the most beautiful, lifechanging prose you’ve ever seen in your life. Again not unlike. Fullmetal Alchemist.

#NICE #absolutely loving the idea that Éowyn's name essentially predicts her character arc #it works for Éomer too #'I shall be grand/excellent/famous' #and he lives to see his kingdom prosper and his rule is so successful that he is literally called 'the Blessed' #Lord of the Rings #text

as soon as he is able (read: as soon as he is left unsupervised long enough to slip out of bed) merry marches to eowyn and wobbling on his two hairy feet holds his head high and tells her thank you and sorry for your loss and how honoured and proud he is to have ridden into battle with her

(she lets him sit on her bed and tell her about the shire and his friends and if he cries a lil bit she pretends not to notice) (this is more or less what they did the entire ride to minas tirith)

he does eventually smoke a pipe with both eomer and eowyn and there’s a lot of spluttering and coughing but they are both determined to finish. they wind up turning it into a competition and merry is utterly appalled by their lack of art and appreciation

on the handful of times merry rides out to edoras/ithilien it’s a very long journey that always ends with a very bedraggled hobbit yelling ‘SURPRISE’ on their doorstep. immediately followed by bellows of delight

both their injured arms were cold at theoden’s funeral and eowyn held merry’s hand. merry braided eowyn’s hair with athelas on her wedding day and he and pippin both cried

(a lot of people these days don’t really believe the songs about the shieldmaiden and her halfling squire who felled the witch king but there are still folks who will defend it to the death)

For I am the daughter of Elrond. I shall not go with him when he departs to the Havens: for mine is the choice of Luthien, and as she so have I chosen, both the sweet and the bitter.
