22. Túrin&Niënor vs. Jon Snow&Daenerys

(I mean just look at these fanarts).

Ok, for those who don’t know who Túrin and Niënor is, long story short:

Children of Húrin is the most depressing thing Tolkien ever wrote. The Dark Lord Morgoth curses Húrin and his family to a dramatic doom. Túrin is doomed from the beginning in everything he does. He is forced to leave his home before his sister is born so he never knew her. Later on, his mother and sister, Niënor, left their home to look after him. Niënor is bewitched by an evil dragon to forget everything. And so, the amnesiac Niënor comes across Túrin. Unaware of their blood relation, they fall in love, get married and concieve a child. When the dragon lifts the spell and Niënor realized that she committed incest, she casts herself in a waterfall. When Túrin learns the truth as well, he kills himself by throwing himself into his sword.

Their descriptions are striking as well.

Húrin is the head of the House of Hador, whose members typically have blonde hair and blue eyes. Túrin has an unusual appearance: he has dark hair and gray eyes, inherited from his mother, who belong to the House of Bëor. Niënor, however, has golden hair and blue eyes, iherited from her father.

Jon, as we know, took Starks’ dark hair and gray eyes from his mother, Lyanna.

While Rhaella most likely had Targaryen features as well, only Aerys’s physical description is given, which is similar to Dany’s: silver-gold hair, purple eyes.

As I discussed here, Jon and Dany is forshadow and will happen in the books. The series is called A Song of Ice and Fire after all.

But what won’t happen in the books is the tragic story of Túrin and Niënor. I strongly believe GRRM (who admitted that he read Silmarillion) wrote/will write Jon and Dany as an AU where “Túrin” and “Niënor” defeat the evil together and live.

First of all, incest is not a problem for GRRM. And while it is forbidden among the Westerosi families, it won’t be a problem for these two characters.

Dany has always expected to marry her brother Viserys. When she and Jon will eventually meet, they will be two people from different parts of the world who will meet each other for the first time. Also, aunt and nephew is far far far less worse than brother and sister.

Or, if one of both of them will die (THOUGH I’D HATE GRRM FOREVER IF HE WILL HAVE DANY DYING IN CHILDBIRH) their child will live and will play a crucial part in the War of the Dawn. Dany is constantly referred as “Mother” (“mother of dragons”, “mhysa”) so I strongly believe that her arc will include becoming a mother. She also dreams of her husband, a young man whose face she cannot see. She also dreams herself as Rhaegar, during the Battle at the Trident, only that she rides a dragon and fights the Others.

These instances forshadow the role Dany will play in the War of the Dawn.

But if you thought they were the only ones, let me draw your attention to this man:

Viggo Mortensen, aka Aragorn son of Arathorn, aka Sexiest Ranger in Middle Earth

would hike, often for more than a day, to remote filming locations, in costume, for the sake of authenticity

was the best swordsman Bob Anderson (swordsmaster/instructor for LotR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc) says he has ever trained

occasionally writes poetry (more book!canon than film!canon but um hello)

does all his own stunts

lived all over and speaks about 23940209384 languages

you know that scene at the end of Fellowship when he’s fighting the Uruk-hai? And one throws a dagger at him and he hits it away with his sword? Yeah, the guy who threw it was supposed to miss, but accidentally threw it directly at Viggo. Who just casually Aragorned and hit it away. 

Would randomly give chocolates to the hobbits

According to John Rhys-Davis (aka Gimli), whenever you have a large cast, one or two actors will naturally become the leaders. Guess who ended up in that role.

Single-handedly convinced cast and crew to camp out to shoot a scene in the sunrise

Once hit a wild rabbit with his car by accident. Promptly stopped his car and went to see if the rabbit was dead, needed a vet or if the only merciful thing to do was to finish killing him. The rabbit was dead. Viggo realized he was hungry. So he took the rabbit, made a fire by the roadside and ate it.

According to cast and crew, sometimes you’d just see him disappear in the middle of the night and suddenly he’d come back with fish he’d caught

Had his sword with him at all times. Slept with once.

The best horse rider of the cast, hands down. Rides better than lots of pros, according to a horse trainer. Couldn’t bear to part with his horse at the end of the shooting, so he bough him. The next movie of his also involved horses, and he bought his horse in that one, too.

Knows how to survive in the wild. I’m not kidding.

Hand-stitched a few things in his costume for an authentic “I live away from civilization” Ranger feel. Also told the weapons department to make him a small bow because “Aragorn lives in the wild, he needs a hunting bow, or he’ll starve to death” - literally nobody else had thought about that. Also requested a small stone to sharpen his sword. Suggested that Aragorn would take Boromir’s arm guards after his death. 

Speaking of hand-stitching, once he was touring Japan with a reporter for an article. Walked into a store, took a tshirt, bought it, cut off the print and hand-stitched it into the hat he was wearing. The reporter was going “?????????” the entire time.

• Not only was he the best swordsman Bob Anderson trained, prior to filming, he had absolutely no training WHATSOEVER.

• The fight on Weathertop was the first thing he filmed as Aragorn, with like a couple weeks of training, and he did in wonderfully.

• He and Sean Bean basically became brothers on the set, very much like how their characters came to consider each other brothers.

2) Not the happiest family dynamic

Who needs cupid when you can have mini Maiar?

Anyway, Happy Valentines day everyone I hope you’ve had a nice day.
