yo will never not catch me crying about how yes, aragorn had seen so much death, but boromir was his man. his steward. his captain. a man of gondor under his command. aragorn goes on this quest probably knowing it will end in him on the throne. boromir was the first of aragorn’s men that aragorn lost.

We have to do something about the boromir-taller-than-faramir industrial complex. It's just fundamentally not true, by narrative placement alone Faramir is magnitudes holier than his brother, he should be the tallest member of that family, he should overshoot Denethor even! Faramir hit 16 and suddenly 21 year old boromir was eye level to this fucking beanpoll ass motherfucker and he's had to look up at him every day since. We must honour this foundational traumatic event in Boromir's psyche.

actually. I think we should start putting boromir flashbacks into every movie ever. I dont see why not

to all of those people who don't like boromir i'd like to remind you that boromir died with his honour intact. unlike isildur, face down in a river with arrows piercing through his back, corrupted and afraid. he fought as a son of gondor, protected what he knew was pure and died with the blessing of the king of men. he died laying in the arms of a king. his king. he may have been swayed by the power of the ring but in the end he fought and faced it. in the end his heart was true to his people. those of gondor—his home. and those of the fellowship—his friends. he died as a brother, a friend, and a hero.
