*drops chapter 2 of 1600s fic*

Chapter 2
Nothing was ever certain, least of all hope. Life had been both cruel and wise enough to teach Anthony Edward Stark that much.

He swiped sweat from his brow and laid a double-edged sword across a simple anvil, hammer in hand.…

Aaiii! Save us, it’s a film lover!

*Strangled gasp of horror*

Just kidding. I do understand that, and I have heard of some fantastic things they did with the adaptions, including splendid character interactions and even deviations from the books that actually made the plot more family friendly. Like cutting out the barrow…[Read more]

*applause*

Gentle warriors for the win! I am now inspired to write better representations of gentleness, purpose, and grief. We need unique turns on these topics.

 I think one of the reasons their story is cut is because it’s a story that speaks to more sensitive people. Aragorn looks cool on screen to everyone, and ev…

@keilah-h

um… only ranger horses. I’ve never had a horse throw me.

@mineralizedwritings

I can’t believe what they cut from the movie of them! That chapter was the completion of Eowyn’s arc, and cutting it out made it seem like her arc ended at the triumph over the Nuzgal, which is really wrong. Her arc isn’t about war, but healing. And they cut…

Excactly! It’s so sweet, but not sugary sweet, you know? If it’s not in there, then half her character is left out (the real Eowyn, in fact) It’s a neat turn on illustrating healing and hope that really brings a lot of light into the story. 🙂

I think it’s my second time to read/listen to the Return of the King. I read the…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Yes! We just listened to the chapter with him and Eowyn, and I just kept crying and laughing.

*Insert a five page essay on sorrow and love and joy and how they are not mutually exclusive*

*Insert random squeaking noises of happiness*

Yeah… Aragorn/Strider is one of the reasons Faramir is not my only favorite. 😉

@mineralizedwritings

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? O.O I feel like I was just handed a medal.

The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD

@ellette-giselle

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 It was fun to try to draw from my head, although I ended up needing reference pictures for his eyes because he kept looking scared. XD And Faramir should not be scared.

@keilah-h

Thank you! Yes, he is described in the book as Westernese: tall, raven-black haired, grey eyed, and noble of…[Read more]

@calyhuge

Are you wanting a confrontation yet?

We are about to start walking down the hall if you wanna pounce on us.

@elishavet-pidyon

He’s perfect!!!!! WAY BETTER then the movie! I love it!

Yes, Tug and Will are the best. Horses are the first thing I ever learned to draw. Thank you. I’m glad it turned out well. I love how it goes from Tug throwing him to Tug and Will relaxing together. lol.

@koshka @ellette-giselle @freed_and_redeemed

Well, it’s been a while since I shared any art, but the recent LotR discussions inspired to try my hand at one of the few characters I pictured vividly.

Meet the Ranger Faramir as I met him. (Although the photo quality is bad. Sorry.)
