frodo-sam:

And he looked at the slain, recalling their names. Then suddenly he beheld his sister Éowyn as she lay, and he knew her. He stood a moment as a man who is pierced in the midst of a cry by an arrow through the heart; and then his face went deathly white; and a cold fury rose in him, so that all speech failed him for a while. A fey mood took him.


‘Éowyn, Éowyn!’ he cried at last: ‘Éowyn, how come you here? What madness or devilry is this? Death, death, death! Death take us all!’ . The Return of the King, J. R. R. Tolkien.

Because I’m extremely tired of people dismissing the women of LotR, here’s a quick summary.

Galadriel: 

Rebelled against the Valar and decided to stay in Middle-earth, desiring to build a kingdom and rule over it. She was one of the few to distrust Annatar and later used the ring Nenya to protect and preserve her people, later throwing down the walls of Dol Guldur herself alongside Thranduil and his folk. She was notoriously prideful and ambitious, but a kind ruler all the same.

Eowyn: 

Niece of Theoden, she guarded Meduseld until the king’s return and upon being refused to ride alongside the men to battle, Eowyn disguised herself as a man and fought at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. There, she challenged the Witch-king and defended the mortally wounded Theoden, slaying the Lord of the Nazgul and fulfilling an ancient prophecy issued by Glorfindel himself at the Battle of Fornost near an age ago.

Arwen: 

The daughter of Elrond, she promised herself to Aragorn, a mortal man, and wove him a banner which he then used as his sigil throughout the War of the Ring. Arwen made the choice to stay in Middle-earth in order to be with Aragorn, not sailing West with her father and kindred, and in turn deciding to die a mortal death.

“What was the last photo you took on your phone?” – Question set by Orlando Bloom 

John Rhys-Davies – “Mock me, would you, you piss-taking, pointy-eared devil! He knows, gentle readers, that I still use the phone I had in New Zealand in 1999, a Nokia 6310i, which has no camera! Actually I have 11 of them, six working at any given time. Tri-band, almost unbreakable, work anywhere in the world. Downside? Battery life. I’m having to charge mine every nine days now.”

I am quite envious of his battery life, since my phone is only 12 years old and I get 4 days battery life.

→ ”He proceeded to sort of talk about some very clandestine part of WW2…
He seemed to have expert knowledge of exactly the sort of noise that they make so I just sort of didn’t push the subject any further, I just said ”Well you obviously know what to do, Christopher, so I’m sure you’ll do it great” and he did.”
