Käärijä • Cha Cha Cha (🇫🇮) ESC 2023: Grand Final

timothee chalamet representing serbia tonight

It’s weird that Aragorn has a reputation for being a Loner™ when every time the heroes go to a new place they find out Aragorn Has Friends There. If you could theoretically have friends there, then Aragorn Has Friends There

They meet Aragorn in Bree, turns out he’s Friends with Gandalf, then makes Friends with the hobbits, then they arrive at Rivendell and what a twist he’s also Friends with the Rivendell elves! especially Arwen and Elrond! There’s an elf from Mirkwood in their fellowship who was already his Friend, but he also quickly becomes Friends with the dwarf from Ered Luin who hates that elf’s guts.  Boromir of Gondor initially WANTS to hate him but within a couple weeks he’s calling Aragorn his brother. The Fellowship arrives at Lorien and oh  Aragorn didn’t bring it up but he’s also Good Friends with Galadriel and Haldir and Celeborn and all them too! They travel to Rohan and Aragorn’s like “oh yeah I didn’t mention it before but I’m Friends with the people of Rohan, I knew King Theoden as a kid, and–”. He even makes Friends with his horse

 Aragorn tries to befriend everyone, from a 3-foot tall hobbit who’s not yet an adult to an elf-queen-sorceress older than the moon. He doesn’t seem grim/lonely because he’s friendless, he seems grim and lonely because he has so many friends, in so many places, that he’s always missing someone

#I feel it speaks to the lotr themes of what makes kingship #that aragorn’s most notable powers are his healing and ability to make friends (lullabyknell)

I love that Gandalf and Aragon are two sides of ‘oh it’s that guy’ coin. When Gandalf shows up everyone says it with a tone of Well What Bullshit Is Gonna Go Down Now? With Aragorn it’s Honey Look! The Feral Cat Came Back!!! Who Wants A Treat? And aragorn’s ’…I do’

Also he seems grim and a bit distant to the hobbits because he’s 80 years old and he’s spent 60 of those years doing a REALLY crappy job (”defend everyone who needs it”) with minimal resources and when they meet him he’s in a place where he gets ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but Crap for defending these idiot bumpkins from shit that would make them piss themselves and pass out, for free, for decades, when he CAN’T find Gandalf and that’s NOT a good sign, and now these four Shire-hobbits are totally unguarded otherwise, he’s ALONE, he doesn’t dare wait for backup, and the Nazgul are hunting them, and he has to get them to Rivendell.

And they’re totally ridiculous enough that one of them actually USED THE RING IN PUBLIC and the other went OUT FOR A WALK, ALONE, AFTER DARK.

Every time Aragorn has the OPTION of being cheerful and friendly, he actually is. Even in THAT situation, he’s as friendly as he can be, and reassuring as he can be, but he’s kind of in a shitty situation and he’s kinda under stress.

And everything is riding on this Quest, and an awful lot of it is riding on him. And the stakes are kinda HIGH.

TOLKIEN WEEK

Happy Eurovision day everyone
