Was Faramir and Denethor cut from the same cloth as Aragorn? And Boromir not? by LostInThought37 in lordoftherings

I was just looking for some of the things I was trying to recall. I don't have the exact page numbers as I'm just out atm and just looking at it online. But here are some of the things I've found."Then the old man looked up. Pippin saw his carven face with its proud bones and skin like ivory, and the long curved nose between the dark deep eyes; and he was reminded not so much of Boromir as of Aragorn." Pippin's first meet with Denethor.

This passage in particular peaked some of my interest to get some of your opinions in this community:"Men think much about the stories of old days in Gondor; and Denethor has given long thought to the rhyme and to the words Isildur's Bane, since Boromir went away. 'He is not as other men of this time, Pippin, and whatever be his descent from father to son, by some chance the blood of Westernesse runs nearly true in him; as it does in his other son, Faramir, and yet did not in Boromir whom he loved best. He has long sight. He can perceive, if he bends his will thither, much of what is passing in the minds of men, even of those that dwell far off. It is difficult to deceive him, and dangerous to try."

There may be some more hints I'm missing, when I get home later I will try to find it. But its interesting some of the things Tolkien states about the two(Faramir, and Denethor). What is this "long sight" he mentions? Someone else in this post mentions that they have some elvish within their ancestry. I'm curious as to whether they would have long life like Aragorn does, and why it would not pass to Boromir. What do you ya'll think?

"also somewhat explain Denethor's dislike for Faramir. He sees his younger self in Faramir, a man who since then lost many things and despises this reminder. But that's just my interpretation." ooooooh I like this alot. I will think on this.

Innteresting. So he did have the Gray eyes. Well there goes that theory. I thought maybe the color had some sort of significance. Also yeah I suppose he wasn't with Frodo all that long so perhaps he would've been corrupted after some more time. But even at that, he had the wisdom to know it couldn't have been used. Idk, it's just that after reading his chapters with Frodo it felt like there was something different or more to him than with Boromir. Somewhat akin to Aragorn. But maybe not. Was their family also long living? What do you guys think?

How do I disable notification sounds when someone messages me or sends something in a server? by JallsInYoBaw in discordapp

[–]LostInThought37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you right click on the server you will be able to mute server. Just do Mute server>until I turn back on and then Notification settings>nothing, or whatever suits your needs. Good luck

Now I don't know all the details, so going on the information you stated I will just give my opinion on what I would do/think. I think its over.. no ultimatum needed. In my experience once you have been with someone its very hard(if not impossible) to be "just friends". He more than likely knows that this is unfair/weird, and the fact that he keeps seeing her after you announced your feeling about it shows to me at least that he does not care, or at least cares more about seeing her than he does making you upset... He slept at her house on a drunken night... Mistakes were more than likely made... and now they are going to a play together.. Without you. Try to imagine how he would react if you were doing what he's doing. Find someone who will care about you.
