Tumblr crosspost (8 July 2020)

[anghraine]

lesbiansforboromir at Tumblr made a post about loving Gondor, and someone else unnecessarily responded with a complaint about how Gondor is too stony and devoid of greenery/trees except the dead White Tree for them, and they prefer Rohan (this person had not read the book). lesbiansforboromir responded with a headache graphic pointing out that this is entirely on the Jackson films and book Gondor is a fertile, verdant land nourished by the largest river in Middle-earth.

I said:

This is one hundred percent me. My greatest bitterness is over Lebennin. I mean, after Denethor, Faramir, etc. But LEBENNIN. Yes, sure, maybe there wasn't time to show Lebennin itself, but they certainly could have included actual Gondorians in the relieving army. But God forbid that Gondor is something other than a conveniently placed fortress + a vague land for Aragorn to be rewarded with.
