I was raiding through my sketchbook for things to post and I found this teeny doodle of Eowyn and Arwen and god only knows what I was trying to achieve with it

It was all so incredible, but I just wanted to say that Selga is amazing and I never expected the Eowyn of Dale to show up, but I’m happy that she did.

SELGAAAAAA

(Granddaughter of Sigrid, yo)

I am thrilled you like her! and yeah the parallel to Eowyn and Theoden is totally deliberate, bc different societies and different attitudes to women in combat AND ALSO I loved how badass the Dale-Women were in the film 😀

Eowyn raised around men who protected her “maidenly ears” from hearing things and Gimli “too young to be told much”. So both decide to snoop around the Gondor library to find out more abt wedding nights and having a right hoot at what they read.

jaegervega:

This headcanon is too damn adorable ;w; I love love love it!!!

Gimli confessing to Eowyn that he has little experience in courting and such, especially being ignorant of elvish courting etiquette. He also tells her about his fears of Legolas being mocked for his choice of a Dwarf as his one.

jaegervega:

Okay this is so precious, the friendship these two dorks have gives me life ;w;

Also Eowyn comforting Gimli klsdkflks f I’m melting!! ;A;

Faramir and Éowyn are such babes

I cant tell you how relieved I am to hear that frerin will still like faramir when he and eowyn get together. I admit I was nervous. I love faramir & frerin, and so many fics often go for the trope of distorting a character for angst or conflict. You never do that and THAT is the reason I love Sansukh so much. The depth and truth of your characterisation is inspiring.

Ahhhh, thank you! I’m very glad to hear that, my gosh – such a lot of work goes into the character analysis, and it’s just… alsdkgfaljshfdsaljh when people say it shows, I’m very happy, thank you.

I am reaaaaally not a fan of love triangles. Blah. Also: OOCness for the sake of forcing a trope. Nope, not my cuppa tea.

~~how can anyone not like faramir for srs he’s as gooey about hobbits as his brother~~

Hi, I love Sansûkh, I get so in too it! So as Eowyn is Frerin’s One (which is really cute/sad), what will happen with Faramir/Eowyn? Sorry I just love that couple and it makes me sad that Eowyn would be settling for Faramir in a way? or do Ones get more complicated – I know humans don’t really have ones (So so sorry if I have the wrong end of the stick).

Thank you, I’m so happy you’re enjoying it! Ohhh, I need to update the tags, thank you for reminding me. Yes, the endgame here is Faramir/Eowyn.

“One” is referring to the one time a Dwarf falls in love, but it has absolutely nothing to do with infatuation or admiration, or even a bit of no-strings fun in the sheets. It also does not have to be requited. It just means that a Dwarf will experience love once (if at all). So yeah. No pre-destined soulmates, sorry!

I’ve already established that Dwarves can have crushes. It’s not love. Bombur’s son Alfur has a crush on Gimli, aaaaaall the way back in Chapter 8. Also, Thorin had a crush on Mizim, and half the mountain has a crush on Dori.

Frerin has a crush. A crush the size of Erebor! But Thorin says it in Chapter 24: “His little infatuation would not hurt him, and to be frank, Thorin was glad that Frerin would finally experience that part of his life, too little and too late though it was.” He’s acting (for once!) like a normal teenager, because he IS a teenager: no matter how much time passes or how wise he gets, he is eternally stuck with his adolescent body and emotions.

*ducks flying vegetables* I promise, happy ending! I PROMISE.

No, Eowyn isn’t settling at all! Faramir is AMAZING. Faramir is a WONDERFUL person: brave and selfless and loyal and clever, one of the few who have faced the One Ring’s temptation and refused it. And Eowyn chooses him, it’s her choice! *hugs Faramir, poor cutie* And he and Frerin ALSO have lots in common – seriously, Frerin is going to be totally bowled over by him as well!
