I woke up with this question in mind so I thought I'd better ask it here in case other people are interested too. ☺️

How is the "Borodis" (that's the correct ship name, right?) dynamic different from the "Boronael" one? How are they different? I assume Boromir will be adorable in both ☺️

Yes, Borodis is the ship name!

So, one major difference is that Boromir already knows Idis from growing up with Theodred (they're the same age and the heirs of their respective kingdoms so it's only natural they spent a lot of time together). As he grows older and he is given more responsibilities, his visits to Rohan become less frequent, so when he and Idis meet in Dearer Than Daughter, he will be surprised by how differently Theoden treats her compared to how he treated her when she was a child (won't go into detail here). He sees similarities to how Denethor treats Faramir and will attempt to confront Theoden about it, but Idis asks him not to say anything and that she deserves it (won't go into detail here).

Amon Hen still happens as it did in canon (book, movie, idk it happens off-screen), except that Boromir survives his wounds (barely). Unlike the second-hand PTSD/guilt that Boromir has in Garo Estel, he will feel the full force of it in this fic. He probably won't be "adorable" at first, but he and Idis will have some cute moments.

This fic will be much shorter than Garo Estel since I won't have to explore two strangers getting to know each other. Boromir and Idis will be sources of comfort to each other at different times throughout the story, but any romantic feelings won't start to develop until much later. And while Idis is somewhat isolated due to health reasons, she has a much more solid grasp on the way of the world and current events than Anael does, and she chooses not to venture far rather than because Theoden commanded her to remain at home.

One thing that I refuse to budge on is how I portray Boromir's stance on marriage. He has been with women before, and he's not completely opposed to marriage, but he won't marry anyone who is chosen for him because of how unhappy his mother was. I haven't decided if Borodis will get married in this fic or if it will happen after the story ends, but while it will be a political/beneficial marriage (since Boromir needs a wife from a good family and Idis is 40 and less likely to have children or have any marriage prospects at her age), they have grown fond of one another by the end of the war, and it won't be like other political marriages where the bride and groom are complete strangers who don't meet until they're standing at the altar.

There's a lot that's still up in the air, but this is what I know and can tell you so far.

Thank you for the ask!

Tolkien OC Week

A fandom event for OCs and underdeveloped characters in Tolkien's world!

This event celebrates both characters of Tolkien's world and our own characters that need more love, by creating and reblogging all kind of fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fanvideos, fancrafts, headcanons, playlists, edits, moodboards etc.

The event is modded by @yellow-faerie, @elamarth-calmagol and @stormxpadme and will take place between 25th August - 31st August 2024 for the fourth year running.

NSFW text entries are allowed and we’ll tag them accordingly when we reblog them, but please put them behind a “read more”.

We'll also be tracking the tag #tolkienocweek during this week!

*******************************************

Event schedule for 2024:

Day 1 (25th August): World Building

Create a fanwork about an original character, and use them as a jumping off point for worldbuilding. Share a dwarf from the far side of Rhun, consider the existence of an Aina before the creation of Arda, explore Rivendell from the point of view of an outsider, or tell us about the underground punk subculture of Gondolin.

Day 2 (26th August): Canon-OC Relationships

This year, it’s not just about romance. Today, explore a relationship between your OC and a canon character. Your character could be a lover or spouse of someone canonical, lf course, but they could also be a friend, sibling, teacher, servant, fan, or even rival!

Day 3 (27th August): Alternate Universes

Share an OC who isn’t canon compliant at all. Maybe you want to add a fourteenth member of Thorin’s company or give a reborn Celebrimbor children with a surviving and reformed Sauron. Or, maybe you want to do a crossover with your Star Wars OC or let your self-insert narrate a coffee shop AU. Go wild!

Day 4 (28th August): Gaps and Ghosts

Create a fanwork based upon a character that Tolkien either thought up and abandoned, such as Odo Took oe the characters of The New Shadow. Or, create someone he missed creating in the first place, like… um… just about anyone’s mother.

Day 5 (29th August): Non-Humanoid Characters

Middle Earth isn't just elves, Men, hobbits, and dwarves. Today, share a character who is something different entirely: an animal, a dragon, a Maia who doesn't take humanoid form, an ent or huron, or a creature of your own invention.

Day 6 (30th August): Background Characters

This prompt is all about people who are in the background of the action: the low-ranking soldiers, the servants, and the ordinary people living in extraordinary times. Or maybe you want someone who isn't so ordinary, like an advisor in the Council of Elrond who never made it onto the page, or one of the Maiar who sank the Feanorians on the stolen boats. Show us their view of the action!

Day 7 (31st August): Freeform

Did we miss something? Do you have an OC that doesn’t fit into any day, or did you want to do a second fanwork for one of the days? Today, create and share whatever you want, as long as it has to do with original or abandoned characters!

*******************************************

*******************************************

Since we want to celebrate creations about neglected characters all year long, the mods will occasionally reblog posts and fancreations about OCs and underdeveloped characters. If you would like to see your post on our blog, you're very welcome to tag tolkienocweek. Since tumblr's tagging system is often being faulty, don't hesitate to message us, too!

We are looking forward to see and share all the awesome work you come up with!
