One the one hand, I totally agree that Aragorn should have got with Eowyn. Because I'm a total Eowyn stan. I don't really care what reasons you use, I'm not picky.

On the other hand, I have to point out that the image you have there is pretty inappropriate & actually kind of undermines your point, because Victoria was totally, and famously, into Prince Albert.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh...but she'd just be second best. Why would Eowyn deserve a guy pining over some other woman? Faramir is a pretty great guy and he loved her genuinely. Also that's a great political match.

[(Anonymous)]

Eowyn deserves both of them. She deserves all of the men. Not as an OT3, either. She just deserves both of them.

Faramir is a great match and I do like their relationship a lot. I don't see any need to resolve this dilemma, but my thinking here might not be what you call logical...

[(Anonymous)]

deserve has nothing to do with love, what a completely pointless thing to say.

[(Anonymous)]

After watching the Nostalgia Chick's reviews of the movies, I've started shipping Eowyn/Merry. Never even thought about that pairing until she spent five minutes defending it.

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's not, because "deserve" has nothing to do with how healthy relationships actually work.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course it does. A person does not deserve to be married to someone who is in love with another person. They deserve someone who loves them first and wholly.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. Faramir/Eowyn forever!

[(Anonymous)]

Have you read this fic by any chance? (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1138072/1/Snowdrops_and_Bluebells) it's my favorite LoTR fic, and it's about Faramir/Eowyn, and I saw you like that ship, so...

[dreemyweird]

Maybe they're disapproving of her marriage rather than taking her as an example? :) [although I suspect that they just took an image of a random queen]

On the matter of Aragorn&Eowyn: doesn't it disconcert you that he didn't really love her? (not attacking, just curious)
Because while I totally understand why people make up fanons for it, I can't see it being a happy marriage in canon. Aragorn would've been an unfortunate wretch.

As I said above, I'm probably not being entirely rational on this one.

Eowyn is just so fucking awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

My bet is that OP chose Queen Victoria because the quote "lie back and think of England" is often attributed to her.

[(Anonymous)]

She didn't really love Aragorn, either.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha, I'm glad someone else saw the irony behind the photo choice, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I assumed it might have been on purpose--it was a political match that ended very well for both parties. And Eowyn/Aragorn could have too (which I don't agree with).

[(Anonymous)]

It really wasn't a political match on Victoria's side at least. She was super, super into Albert pretty much from the beginning.

Victoria/Albert 4ever

[(Anonymous)]

Eh...but there's a difference between your family finding a politically suitable partner and you falling for him and getting married and just marrying whomever you please.

[(Anonymous)]

da

She wasn't required to marry Albert. She chose to.

[(Anonymous)]

No, but Aragorn wouldn't have been required to marry Eowyn.

[(Anonymous)]

There were other candidates that the family found acceptable. (And the king her uncle actually had someone else in mind besides Prince Albert.) She married Albert because she loved/was very attracted to him. He was politically suitable, sure, but it was very much a love match.

[(Anonymous)]

But he was a politically good match. We can't be sure that she would have married him if he were a scholar or something.

[lunabee34]

Me too. :)

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. Only, Victoria also famously married off her children to consolidate political alliances.

[(Anonymous)]

Except that Elrond dangled Arwen in front of Aragorn his entire life, saying that if he didn't balls-up and get into that royal position, he couldn't have her at all. He wouldn't have even been in the position to have to decide whether to make a marriage of political alliance if not for Arwen existing. So, it was kind of a done deal either way. Marrying off his Steward to the Lady of Rohan was still pretty advantageous to both kingdoms anyway.
