*crashes through your wall like the kool-aid man* HEY, I'M BACK. The sling is off, my shoulder is starting to remember its job, and I can extend my arm enough to reach my Cintiq. So here, as promised, is BOROMIR LIVES AU, EPISODE 4: THE PIPPINING, a scene inspired by @kaatiba's Boromir Lives AU, where Pippin is the one to finally get Boromir to sleep after the battle of Pelennor Fields.

This was a hard one, there are so many good bromance pictures of these guys.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: The Return of the King (2003) dir. Peter Jackson. ย
I saw a joke about Howard Shore managing to make a scene as simple as 9 guys and a pony walking past a rock one of the most memorable epic scenes in history, which made me rewatch the "The Ring Goes South" sequence but no. That's an understatement. Yes the scene would never be what it is without Shore's score. However, there is so much meaning in a scene as simple as this. Everything is looked after in excruciating detail and the reason we consider this scene (along with most LOTR scenes) so special is that it gives to our subconscious numerous information about the story, the main characters, their personalities. Look how much of it there is in few seconds.
Gandalf is the first to pass the rock. Gandalf is thus the leader, the guide. Being first is also linked to him being a higher being, as Wizards (or the Maiar) were kind of demigods. Gandalf moves fast, fixated on the horizon - at the path they have to take - and doesn't stop or look anywhere close to the camera. Gandalf is driven. He carries the responsibility of leading the fellowship to its goal. Gandalf also shortly adjusts his hat, showing us that the weather conditions are and will be harsh and against them.
Legolas is the second to pass. Legolas lingers slightly and looks around, his hair flowing. Him being second has two meanings: a symbolic and a literal. He is the second highest being after Gandalf but also he must be at the front as he is the ears and eyes of the fellowship since he has the most acute senses. This is why he is looking around, not just to make the hair flow. He is looking out for danger and possible enemies. But also him looking up high, the hair flowing gracefully, his steps being lighter than the others' - all these underscore the ethereal nature of the elves.
Gimli comes third. He does a quick left and right glance while Legolas is still on focus but after that he passes quickly and without any flamboyance. It shows the contrast between elves and dwarves. Gimli's job isn't to be the ears and eyes - his job is to kill the enemy once he comes. That's why our focus is on his precious axe. Gimli's gaze is fixed on the ground - a symbolism of the dwarves dwelling in the mines under the earth.
He and Legolas are skilled fighters and they are the front guard of the fellowship because one has the dexterity and acute senses and the other has the resilience to not allow whoever might escape Legolas to reach the real targets.
The real targets are the physically weakest beings in the fellowship, the hobbits. This is why they are in the middle, because they must be protected from all sides.
Frodo comes first, as he is the protagonist and the ringbearer. He is also by far the oldest (this isn't in the movies I think) and, in general, the most respectable and precious member of the fellowship. Merry and Pippin follow, in that order as this is always how we refer to them, and (almost) always together.
Sam is last and is half hidden behind Pippin and his pony Billy. He doesn't look at all close to the camera, unlike the other hobbits. He is of a humbler background and he is pragmatic. He is the gardener and here his role supposedly is to take care of others. He is to be the unassuming hero, hidden behind the animal and the supplies and the nobler hobbits.
Brave but mortal, always treated as expendables regardless of status, the men are the rearguard.
Boromir is brave and ready to protect. He will be the defender, as hinted by his shield. He fills the screen in reasonable but noble regalia and is kempt, besides brave being also proud and confident and of significant lineage.
Quite the contrary to Aragorn, for whom the camera actually angles down to show him. This is probably because the camera shows all members as they pass the rock but it shows Aragorn before he gets past the rock. Maybe there is a change we wait from him still, an upgrade to his final version, of sorts. Aragorn almost seems left behind and alone. He doesn't look at all anywhere close to the camera. He is fixated on his path. His eyes are casted downwards. His attire is modest to say the least. He stays behind the son of the Steward of Gondor, who is still the governor. It shows how Aragorn respects and understands each and everyone's place, even though he is the rightful heir. He is humble and above personal rivalries. He remains behind, ready to protect everyone with neglect to his own safety. Ready to be the first to fall, if that is his fate, as long as he saves others.
I love Faramir but Eowyn and Merry should have ended up together honestly
MEEEEEEERRRRRRY CHRRIIIISSSSTMASSS!
