Sad RP Starters

❝The events that came to pass were no fault of your own, Master Peregrin. If anyone is to be blamed, it is myself, having allowed him to ride to battle in the first place.❞

Éowyn looked upon the hobbit with empathy shining in her eyes. She knew the hobbit blamed himself for the injuries sustained by Merry at Pelennor Fields, having thought that if it hadn’t been for his travels to Minas Tirith the events never would’ve taken place at all. Instead the blame was placed upon Éowyn - and rightfully so. Though the wound he bore was not fatal, it still gnawed on her conscious knowing she had put him in such grave danger to begin with. She offered Pippin a kind, reassuring smile.

❝Please, my friend, do not fret over such things. He sits near to me in the Houses of Healing as we speak, and he would agree that the fault is not your own.❞

        Though she was right, about Merry  not  allowing  Pippin  to  take            the blame, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Had he not been foolish            enough to gaze into the  Palantir,  he  wouldn't  have  had  to  leave            Merry, and might have been able to protect him if needed. But then            again,  he  wouldn't  have  known  of what would have happened to            Minas Tirith,  and  the  damage  done  could  have been worse. He            swallowed, looking up at the reassuring smile,  and  replying  to  it            with  one  of  his  own.  He  could  not lose his bright spirit now, not            now  Merry  needed  it  most,  and  so  he  told  himself  to cheer up.

omg I’m literally smiling right now thank you so much!! (mun’s name is rain btw) !!

Okay, so: fearofacage: ACTUAL EOWYN RIGHT HERE. I am ashamed to say I still don’t know the mun’s name (um, oops? somehow I always forget that part), but that’s okay, because I am pretty sure it is ACTUALLY EOWYN.

This is another person I messaged, sort of out of the blue, in hopes that they wouldn’t mind writing with me (as I continue my slow quest to insert Caspian into every age and country of Middle-Earth), and once again, they were so sweet and accommodating (the lesson here, folks — because you’ll see this is a running theme — is that if you approach people politely, a lot of times they’ll be willing to work with you), and then promptly tossed me into this unbelievably fantastic thread, like it was no big thang.

This Eowyn is so spot on she gives me chills. She’s proud and stubborn, but not lacking in compassion; even in their so far brief interaction, her worry for her King and her people seeps through every word and action. She’s prickly and cool and absolutely perfect: Eowyn does not suffer fools, but nor is she all that worldly, and fearofacage has hit that impossibly difficult combination of wise and naive right on the head.

I’m SO excited for the rest of this thread — I think she and Caspian will really get along great — and I’m so excited to write more with her, and I’m so excited to see what else she does!

omg same. let’s plot soon though!!!

; send me a url and i’ll talk about them.

If you can’t tell she doesn’t take kindly to strangers omg

Hahahaha I love it so much and Caspian is all D:
