Wow, I really like "double blades" on the first picture, as their movements were quick. Excellent effect! :)

I had never noticed that effect until I posted it. Yep, those blades were flying fast!

One might think she really had it out for him instead of being halfway in love with him! LOL

LOL she looked like she had it for him in that scene, and if that stew tasted as bad as it was made out to taste, maybe she had it for him in the films. *g*

Now there would be an interesting AU tale... what if Eowyn had killed Aragorn with that stew...!

Oh don't even go there! How deprived would we all have been!

Don't worry; bad enough we had to see Aragorn's death in the appendices!

PJ wouldn't dare to do that. He knows what's good for him. *g*


Aragorn's death in the appendices was so glorious that it never really bothered me. I always felt it like a kind of an apotheosis. I felt sorry for poor Arwen though, who had to learn how to come to terms with her chosen humanity.

I'm the type that prefers never to read of a hero's death... I can then live in denial the rest of my life, thinking they lived forever. *g*

But Aragorn does live forever. I firmly choose to believe, that Aragorn and Arwen still dwell in everlasting and well-deserved bliss beyond the Circles of the World! *g*

Ah, but that's a different sort of "live forever". I like the idea of him living forever as King and skipping the sadness of Arwen's losing him (albeit temporarily).

I have to agree with you that it wasn't easy for Arwen. She's the one I pity.

Hee heee. I love the theme.

It suddenly struck me yesterday that Eowyn could have killed Aragorn several times in that movie! LOL

Aragorn and Eowyn really have an interesting relationship, haven't they? :D In the movies, I almost wish Arwen had sailed - Aragorn and Eowyn made such a nice pair! Though I guess Aragorn was lucky Arwen decided to stay, otherwise he might have starved thanks to Eowyn's cooking skills. ;-)

There was some good chemistry between Eowyn and Aragorn, wasn't there? Well, except for cooking and eating said cooking.

Yep, there was, and a lot more than I've ever felt in the books. The two of them were fun together (though Aragorn probably didn't see it like that any longer once he had tasted Eowyn's cooking :D).

I think there's a whole flock of fans who write fanfic based on Aragorn and Eowyn staying or getting together... haven't read them, but have seen them.

But you know, PJ DID give us that lovely Arwen loophole that had her originally sailing! I've used it before for my own AU purposes, I'm ashamed to say.

I've seen them, too... never have read them, either. I don't read a lot of AU and those are pretty low on the list of the kind I do read. I like Faramir and Eowyn together more. :)
