Me Trying To Finish Retelling My Encounter With Stephen Hunter And Lloyd Owen

Aragorn instinctively guiding the hobbits through rough terrain, slowing his pace so they don’t struggle to keep up.

Aragorn quietly tending to the Fellowship’s wounds after battle, his hands steady and gentle despite the weight he carries.

Aragorn listening to Boromir speak of Gondor, letting him reminisce about home without judgment or rivalry.

Aragorn exchanging silent nods with Legolas and Gimli before battle, a wordless promise that they will fight—and survive—together.

Aragorn sitting with Frodo on sleepless nights, offering quiet reassurances without the need for grand speeches.

Aragorn teaching Merry and Pippin small survival tricks, amused but impressed when they take his lessons seriously.

Aragorn humming old songs from his childhood as they travel, his voice low and steady, bringing comfort to those who listen.

Aragorn taking moments to just be—to close his eyes and breathe in the scent of trees and earth, grounding himself in the present.

Aragorn proving, time and time again, that he is more than just a king—he is a protector, and a man who never stops caring.

I love the hc that dwarves who cut their hair are either shamed or in mourning but cutting your hair is a huge part of self expression!! and I think of dwarven hair as the ultimate form of telling every other dwarf who you are and what you do in life

so I propose that ceratin crafts require cutting your hair in a specific way. you can't confuse it with shame or mourning because everyone knows what that very specific pattern is.

for example! Ori has bangs. bangs are perfect for a scribe! you never have to worry about hair blocking your immediate vision, especially when you are handling old documents where you can't afford to touch anything but the paper in front of you. so you see a dwarf with bangs and immediately know they're a scribe

example 2! Dwalin is half bald and the top of his head is tattooed which sounds pretty painful. what if that's just the hairstyle of warriors? they test your dedication to guarding and protecting and sacrifice by making you shave the top of your head and tattooing it. this also works great as a deterant, like imagine someone thinking to assassinate crown prince Fili but they see Dwalin with his shaved tatted head staring into their soul and they just. slowly back away. you don't fuck with dwarves whose soul craft is being a warrior, especially when they want you to see them coming by announcing to the world that I'm so dedicated to this, I shave the top of my head every day

i love when Dori isn’t even in a fic but the author still throws in a line about how pretty he is. they’ll be describing a completely different character’s physical appearance and it’s like “yeah he’s cute but he’s not as breathtakingly gorgeous and perfect as DORI, now THAT’S a beautiful dwarf. have you seen his hair? his big strong arms? no, no dwarrow could compare to Dori. this one is fine tho. i guess.” and they’re always so right

More family shenanigans...

imagine being éowyn in the lord of the rings trilogy. your uncle the king is being mind controlled by an evil wizard until said evil wizard's cooler version shows up and frees him. he is accompanied by an elf, a dwarf, and the hottest guy you've ever met. the hot guy also happens to be 87 years old and maybe still not over his immortal elf girlfriend but he respects and listens to you so you're shooting your shot. your geriatric hotguy situationship turns you down the night before the biggest battle ever then goes ghost hunting in the mountains. you decide to go to battle because you'll either help save your people or die in a really cool and honorable way. you then kill middle earth satan's number one henchman with the power of loophole and being a woman (you are also helped in doing this by a 4 foot tall stoner). then you get to marry faramir. 10/10 no notes my girl went through it all

First drawing I’ve ever shared on Tumblr is a quick Bilbo sketch that I just found funny

obsessed with the concept of Dwarven Ones and Thorin knowing Bilbo was his One from the first time he saw him and being EXTREMELY unhappy about it up until Bilbo proves himself/saves Thorin's life after the goblin caves
