The man she loves rejects her then leaves, and what does Eowyn do? She doesn’t cry into her Cherry Garcia, she gets up the next morning and armors up to FIGHT A WAR. Oh, but women aren’t allowed to fight, Theoden says. FUCK YOU THEODEN, I’M GOING TO PUT ON THIS HELMET AND KILL EVERYTHING THAT SUCKS. Namely, the fucking Witch King of the Nazgul, who NO MAN COULD KILL BUT NO PROBLEM BECAUSE I’M EOWYN AND I AM NO MAN SO I’M JUST GONNA STAB YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE NOW.
Sit down, Bella Swan.
I know an Eowyn.
I really like this.
In the book, after she strikes the Witch King, his poison infects her arm and she almost dies, but she recovers and ends up falling in love with Faramir and decides to dedicate her life to healing instead of fighting.
What’s amazing is that none of that makes her any less of a badass.
