...have you ever had that feeling that you want to play a character so badly buuuuut he/she won't and can't suit most of the panfandom games out there?

Yeah that's how I feel right now :\

Fact: Did you know that when Eowyn was originally written, she was supposed to be Aragorn's love interest? And that she would die in battle, and after her, Aragorn would have chosen to never marry or love, or something along those lines? It was later that Tolkien created Arwen, and the whole thing became what we have today. Not that I'm complaining, because I love Faramir/Eowyn to pieces, but it was interesting to know that.

I never really shipped the idea of Aragorn/Eowyn, mostly because I'm rarely into a pairing where the girl likes the guy but it's not reciprocated. I like Aragorn, of course, and how his heart belongs to Arwen alone, and maybe that also had a part in me not shipping him with someone else.

Oh, I assume you're not always into canon couples? Well, Draco/Hermione I know ;)

I think I read that somewhere! It's wonderful that Tolkien did end up with what we have today, though - I mean, both Éowyn and Faramir have had terrible lives, but the most terrible thing to happen to the world of men gave them both something so rare and wonderful. So romantic, sob ♥

Oh! I never really did like Arwen much, so. The extended scene of Aragorn eating Éowyn's awful cooking is just... absurdly cute though, haha!

To be honest, I only like the UST between characters and actively root for them, but once they canonically hook up? My interest in them will disappear. I love the what-if scenarios, and usually the canon ways of having characters hook up is disappointing anyway so.

Agreed to that. Faramir/Eowyn is wonderful beyond words, and I couldn't agree more on how their relationship shines exactly because of all that you just said. Couldn't have said it better.

Arwen... I'm somewhat neutral. Maybe because I like her with Aragorn, but other than that, her role is quite small, no? I like Galadriel more.

Oh, we're on similar boats, then ;) I mean, Hoji/Jasmine is not official but to this day I love that pairing so much. And if they do hook up, I sort of wish they happen in the end (Hikaru/Urara, Rio/Mele...). There are a couple exceptions, but anyhow.

I think my most favorite Elf is... Haldir. I saw him in TTT and just fell in love. Sucks that he had to die though :(

I know! At least if the hooking up did happen in the end, you'll know that the characters did have a happy ending but you don't have to watch them go lovey-dovey and everything - although I'm not sure if I would mind seeing Rio act all lovey-dovey since it's Rio and I'm curious as to how he'll actually do it :P
