Quelle vie vit-on quand on n’a pas la vie qu’on veut?

Too lazy to explain myself, just judge me

i know they say no one is coming to save you but why the fuck not

"i wonder if we ever think of each other at the same time."

in Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir carries his shield the entire time, symbolizing his role as a protector. he's always looking out for the hobbits and is often one of the first to speak up on their behalf (Caradhras, and after Gandalf's death, for example). however, he leaves his shield before confronting Frodo when he is under the influence of the Ring, essentially abandoning his role as a protector and attacking Frodo (it's also interesting to note that the only time he doesn't have his shield is when he is not himself). when he is back to being himself, he still doesn't have his shield, but he uses himself as a shield to protect Merry and Pippin, back to his role as a protector (causing his death). anyway i'm just thinking about how Boromir's shield is representative of him and his role in the Fellowship.
