well, I don't know about the "writers" part.... I'm just here plugging away and hopeing for the best. :P

lol isn't it great? :P


erm, I have no clue what a jelly stick is... :confused: I've never heard of it.... but jelly on a stick sounds a bit.... strange... kind of like bubble tea (although that tastes pretty good). :teehee:

Jelly sticks? :blink: okay^^ I don't know what they are, but yeah, okay.

I think that Aragorn would've done the same sacrifice as Arwen because their love was true love; THE love. And their love for each other was equal. They were equal, even though they were a human and an elf.

*is confused about the jelly sticks, wishes to know what that is and is tempted to google for it :blink:*

Calloniel (PD) wrote:
Well, I think he probably did. I mean Arwen was giving up a lot to be with him... basically everything but him and you can see how much emotional pain that puts her through. So I'm sure he realized this was a huge sacrifice for her. And didn't he (in a deleted scene on the EE) even try to get her to back out and take the Evenstar back? I know it was because of some other things but it could've been for that too. :yes: (sorry, if I'm rusty at my A/A... it's been a while since I've seen the movies :blush:)
I totally think Aragorn would've made the same choice for her! I'm sure he loved her just as much as she loved him, so he probably would've given up just as much for her. :happy:


Yes, I totally agree with you. :yes: I couldn't have said it better. :) I haven't even thought that much about the TTT Evenstar scene before, but you're totally right. :)

This question reminds of him in the Two Towers where he wants her to go to Valinor...I think he regrets it.


Yep, that scene fits very well for that question. :)

Very nice answer as well, RDM! :) I totally agree with you as well. :)

I really apologize for my long absence, but I'm quite busy with RL right now. :( Uni will start for me in a few days and so I'm preparing quite a lot for it since this will be my first semester. But I try to come to A-U more often now again. ;)
Anyways, I'm back with a new question now: ;)

Do you think that the knowledge of what Arwen gave up for Aragorn influenced his relationship to Eowyn directly? Would he have decided in another way if Arwen had been mortal as well?

well, thank you. :blush: that really means a lot.... :hug: I didn't know if it came out the way I wanted it to or if it sounded right... :blush:

now you guys are just making me blush... even more! Thank you again... :-D

Oh, that's quite fine! :hug: good luck with RL!

Hmmm, that's a tough question... but I guess since I'm the first one to it I'll try to answer it as best I can.. (can't just cheat and say 'she said it perfectly! yes, that's how I feel too!' ;) lol) it might have. But I think mostly Aragorn just didn't have the feelings for Eowyn that he had for Arwen. He REALLY loved Arwen and unfortunately for Eowyn I think he only loved her as a sort of sister. So I think either way he would've chosen Arwen. Mortal or no.

Oh, no, it's fine, Rose. It's good to see you again! :hug:

There's a quote in the book somewhere that says something about that... *rifles through book*

...I can't find anything. Rawr. :annoyed2: But I thought there was some quote that said something about how Aragorn perceived Eowyn as a companion only and didn't think of her in a romantic sense. Like PD said, he loved Arwen so much that he could never have shoved her aside for another girl.

(Actually, when all's said and done, I think Eowyn got the better end of the deal, but that's just my Faramir-fangirl talking. :P)

I think Arwen kept Aragorn grounded and away from Eowyn.

I might be just repeating what you guys have already said but I'm going to say my opinion anyway :-D

I think that Aragorn would've never been truly happy with Eowyn because his love for her was more of a brotherly kind and Eowyn's love for him was mostly love for glory and adventures. Even though Eowyn probably didn't realize it at that point. She probably realized it when she fell in love with Faramir. But Aragorn realized it immediately. And Aragorn also realized that he could never be happy with her like he could be with Arwen because their love was pure and true even though it demanded big sacrifices.

I hope that you can make some kind of sense out of that. I'm just kind of rambling there :blush:
