I’ve looked it up, it’s funny! Thanks for enhancing my culture; I see what you mean. Though at first I thought that Faramir was the Sassy Gay Friend. Kind of. Actually, I think in this story Pippin needs a Sassy Gay Friend much more than Faramir. Or at least, everybody would want a Sassy Gay Friend to watch over Pippin so that they don’t have to get a heart attack/soaked/mud-stained/their neck broken for his troublesome sake.

That’s a reference to the Sassy Gay Friend. Just search him on utube, he’s Fabulous %D
Basically I was joking in the direction of Faramir getting emasculated before he’s even married. Although I don’t believe that would ever actually happen to him, nor that you intended to show it that way, the pairing generall does lend itself to such a line of thought, I feel, given they’re both a bit unconventional in terms of the traditional understanding of gender roles blah blah blah.

“Faramir, look at your life, look at your choices.”

What’s that about?

I’ve written :).

Fair point :) However, cantering down the twisting streets of the City at breakneck speed could very easily result in more than one broken neck, which would very much delay him indeed, so he could’ve simply been a bit more careful than her ;P
Although I do agree, she might’ve won indeed, given he’s much bigger and heavier than her, and that sort of thing does count when it comes to racing…

Faramir, look at your life, look at your choices.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist the temptation of the context ;P

Do write, I await (-:E

An unfair start! Come on, Pippin’s life was at stake! Come to think of it, I think for Faramir saving Pippin would be even more important than humouring his fiancée :).
Good to hear you are well, so am I (but I’ll tell you about it by mail).
Thanks for commenting by the way, it’s always a pleasure to receive feedback, as you well know!

She sure could, didn’t she just give herself an unfair start? ;p
I’m really good, enjoying the green grasses, the winter flowers, and the damn freezing rain, lols. And writing, of course… How are you, dear?

Certainly, it would… but in this case, I think Éowyn could win without that :). Besides, who knows what she would do if she suspected Faramir was just letting her win…

Nice to have you here! How are you? :D

Pippin, for heaven’s sake, buy organic produce – or at least, read the label.

Faramir is generally a good strategist, so I’ll think he let her win. After all, to him humouring his wife’s desires would usually be a higher priority than topping a competition, no?
