Get Loved, Nerd

Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Anduril but of less lineage and he bore also a shield and his war-horn. 'Loud and clear it sounds in the valleys of the hills,' he said, `and then let all the foes of Gondor flee!' Putting it to his lips he blew a blast, and the echoes leapt from rock to rock, and all that heard that voice in Rivendell sprang to their feet. 'Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir,' said Elrond. 'until you stand once more on the borders of your land, and dire need is on you.' `Maybe,' said Boromir.

this is funnier every time i read it

the way this is written there is no impetus for boromir to describe and blow the horn. i am picturing that 'off-screen' so to speak, maybe pippin or somebody pointed to the horn of gondor and said 'hey whats that' and the answer was OH ITS SUPER LOUD ITS TOTALLY SICK LET ME SHOW YOU FWEET FWEEEEEEEEET but maybe that didn't happen and boromir really did this with zero provocation.

everyone in rivendell freaked out

'friendo, do not blow that thing again until you are back in your own country, and even then, it had better be dire'

'Maybe,' said Boromir

Oh ok! That makes so much sense now. Thanks for the clarification! lol

So you guys I thought I had posted this weeks ago but apparently I didn't soooooo here is this thing

This was an artfight attack that I did on @meadow-roses character Alisdair (from a collab story) meeting my character Alistair (I thought it would be funny for them to meet because of their name similarities), and Elina is in the background:0 (a character from @masterfuldoodler but the same story, if thats how it works lol) (although I feel like she doesn't look quite right) But I didn't realize when artfight was ending so it was too late to post it lol.

It was really fun to draw though! I love your characters

Also I wasn't sure how protective Alisdair would be of his sword and this is what pose came to mind sooo Alistair is admiring it (hope thats ok) ...But I kinda think they'd get along well and pretty quickly

BOOP

*cracks knuckles* *puts on a wizard hat* What do you mean? Do you wish me boop, or mean that I am booped whether I want it or not, or that you feel boop-ish this morning, or that it is a morning to be booped on?
