So I’ve been re-skimming some LotR in between looking for new books to read and Boromir mentions his brother like, three times in the Council of Elrond. And I realize it’s dramatic foreshadowing shit, but consider (modern au apparently) Boromir who just talks about his brother all the time and has so many pictures:

“Hobbits like poetry? My brother won a poetry contest in third grade!!! You know who’d love to hear more about Dwarves? My brother. Gosh, I can’t wait until we all get to Minas Tirith so I can show you all the best things about my city and you can meet my brother.”

“Yeah, I’ve seen Boromir, he’s a great dude,” says Eomer, “but I hear he talks about his brother a lot?”

“How do I know you’ve actually met my brother?” asks Faramir. “And how do you know who I am?”

“… I have seen probably a hundred pictures of you and heard the stories behind all of them,” says Frodo.

“Ah,” says Faramir, resigned. “Yeah, okay, you’ve met him.”

Oh my god thoughj, when you said Eowyn/Dernhelm and genderfluid, I SUDDENLY REMEMBERED THIS ONE FIC, WHICH WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING OK, EVERYONE IF YOU’REI NTO GENDERQUEER INTERPRETATIONS OF EOWYN, GO READ “The Stonework was Admirable” BY CULUMACILINTE OK, IT’S SO GOOD!
