If I ever meet Sean Bean (or Billy Boyd) I’m going to ask them if all of the shots with Boromir guiding Merry and Pippin were scripted. I need to know.
Photographic evidence below the cut.
Let’s start with the first meeting:
You can almost see the heart eyes.
Barely out of Rivendell and already staying pretty close to them.
Oh what’s that? It’s PIPPIN CARRYING BOROMIR’S SHIELD as they walk in their little threesome behind Gandalf and Frodo.
“That’s okay Pippin, I’ll wait for you and hold out my hand to guide you into the Mines. It could be dark and scary, but I’ll protect you.”
BOROMIR’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HOBBITS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT!
Ever since BOTFA I’ve been reading LOTR/Hobbit fic, so I oughta turn around and share them with everyone else!
My fanfiction taste has always been weird. Fic I like usually falls under one of three categories: 1. HECK YES IT’S CANON COMPLIANT 2. HECK YES IT’S ABOUT SIBLING/FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS or 3. HECK YES IT’S ABOUT A LADY. Or, in the best cases, all three…
(also, these are all pretty much focused on the Race of Men. My faves.)
On The Flood by acacea A Gondorian soldier finds Boromir’s war-horn in the river. Just the sort of fic I love, love, love.
The Care and Feeding of Hobbits by Baylor This fic has been around for a long time I think? But if you haven’t read it READ IT IMMEDIATELY. Boromir is the narrator, the hobbits are the Hobbits, and everything is lovely.
The Lady of the Valley by Evandar A character study of Sigrid, with a bit (a small bit) of background Thranduil/Bard. It’s really nice and sad and thoughtful and exactly the kind of minor-female-character fic there should be more of
Bittersweet by Selkit As is this one! This one features Sigrid and her father as she adjusts to being a Princess of Dale. Sigrid is my favourite of the Bardlings, and I absolutely love this view of her.
Requiem for Boromir by maranya14 Faramir asks for the details of his brother’s death. It has songs in it! Really good, fitting songs!
Worse Than The Witch King by Virtuella Eowyn is determined not to wear the wedding dress that was picked out for her. A fabulous short story about Eowyn, her life post-Ring War and the little things that humanise her
Letters from Faramir by Agape4Gondor Faramir writes letters to his brother both before and after his death. It’s as sad as you’d expect, but beautifully, beautifully done.
The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.
You know what hurts the most about this?
Boromir is lying on the ground in both shots, but for two very different reasons
No. In both cases, he’s on the ground because of his love for his hobbits.
My science project. We were to do some sort of creativeness for an atom. I got Boron. My teacher said I touched his inner nerd and this poster now sits right by his desk.
Five Positive Boromirs (Protons)
Six Neutral Boromirs (Neutons)
And Five Negative Boromirs (Electrons)
One Does Not SImply Make A Boring Science Project.
I want an entire book about Faramir and Boromir growing up. Pronto. Their personalities are amazingly three dimentional and I want to see them influincing eachother and I want to see how their father changes them. It’s not that I love them but they’re just very interesting
