“I will not hide behind a wall of stone while others fight our battles for us!”
SHIREMAIDEN’S 4K CELEBRATION| FINROD ➸ for @farthest-stars
Then sudden Felagund there swaying
Sang in answer a song of staying,
Resisting, battling against power,
Of secrets kept, strength like a tower,
And trust unbroken, freedom, escape…
SHIREMAIDEN’S 4K CELEBRATION | BOROMIR + QUOTE ➸ for @aw–heck
B: We are all afraid, Frodo. But to let that fear drive us to destroy what hope we have… don’t you see? That is madness!
F: There is no other way.
B: I ask only for the strength to defend my people! If you would but lend me the Ring…
SHIREMAIDEN’S 4K CELEBRATION | RUSSINGON ➸ for @arofili
“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.”

“Do not speak to me of dragon fire! I know its wrath and ruin! I have faced the great serpents of the north!…I warned your grandfather what his greed would summon. He would not listen…You are just like him. So go, stay here and rot. One hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an elf! I’m patient! I can wait!”

“The woman turned and went slowly into the house. As she passed the doors she turned and looked back. Grave and thoughtful was her glance, as she looked on the king with cool pity in her eyes. Very fair was her face, and her long hair was like a river of gold. Slender and tall she was in her white robe girt with silver; but strong she seemed and stern as steel, a daughter of kings. Thus Aragon for the first time in the full light of day beheld Éowyn, lady of Rohan, and thought her fair, fair and cold, like a morning of pale spring that is not yet come to womanhood.”

“I will not give you counsel, saying do this, or do that. For not in doing or contriving, nor in choosing between this course and another, can I avail; but only in knowing what was and is, and in part also what shall be.”
requested by @holisticwonder: EOWYN & FARAMIR // Favourite OTP
“Look at me, Eowyn!”
And Eowyn looked at Faramir long and steadily; and Faramir said: “Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Eowyn! But I do not offer you my pity. For you are a lady high and valiant and have yourself won renown that shall not be forgotten; and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the Elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Eowyn, do you not love me?”
Then the heart of Eowyn changed, or else at last she understood it. And suddenly her winter passed, and the sun shone on her.
requested by @tyriion: NAZGUL // My favourite scenes
“They were once Men. Great kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will.”
requested by @tyriion: GOLLUM // Iconic moments
“And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone… And we forgot the taste of bread… the sound of trees… the softness of the wind. We even forgot our name…”
requested by @naugrimmellon: THERE AND BACK AGAIN // The members of the Fellowship on their journey
“And thus it was a Fourth Age of Middle-earth began. And the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, was ended.”
