It was both an honour and privilege to work with my fellow Tolkien UA-camrs and friends in putting together this Valentine's Day playlist! Enjoy!
ua-cam.com/play/PLziriZRzCYwsFwYHp-4GALhKbEI2YP3Yw.html
Watched Matts video already was waiting for this hard to beat the Beren and Luthien story but this is close
My favorite love story of all time ❤ 💕 💘
So much fun working on this playlist!
Fantastic video, of course that goes without saying, but I truly love their story.
Happy Valentine to all Middle-earth, thank you for Ellesar and Undomiel story, you and Nerd of the Rings are true Masters of Arda👏💪
Aragorn: I wanna marry your daughter
Elrond: become the king u were meant to me then I give u my blessing
Aragorn: hold my scepter
Elrond: When you become King of Kings, break the Black Tower and bring peace to Middle-Earth, you can have my daughter's hand in marriage.
Aragorn: K.
King Elessar: I'm back.
Elrond: *surprised Pikachu face*
Lol more like hold my ale and pipe weed lol
@@TealWolf26
Arwen: Dad you know he can't do that without his sword
Elrond:... alright fine, I'll get the smiths to fix that damn sword
Arwen: Thanks dad
@@MarvinT0606 LOL.
Arwen: Hold my necklace
I can only imagine Beren and Luthien smiling down on Aragorn and Arwen as all this unfolds.
In a sense the two stories almost mirror each other.
Both Beren and Aragorn meet Luthien and Arwen respectively in the exact same way and both call them Tenuviel(I hope that’s spelled right).
Elrond and Luthien’s father both give the men near impossible tasks. For Beren he is to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth’s crown and Aragorn must become king of both Gondor and Arnor.
Beren is given a dagger in order to cut the gem out of Morgoth and Aragorn is given Anduril, which was forged from Narsil, the very sword that cut the One Ring from Sauron’s finger.
Both Luthien and Arwen give up their Elven immortality to live with their beloved
They are somehow reincarnations of Beren and Luthien.
**smiles through tears**
🥺🥺🥺
"I thought you were Luthien"
That's what you call expert level opening line material.
Matched only by the follow up "I'm not but, looking at you, I might share her fate."
Well done, my friend! It was great to collab with you for the weekend! 😁
You both had excellent videos. Thank you both
These 2 channels are my favourite for all things Tolkien!
So many people get married with the "happily ever after" mindset, but they forget the other part about the hardships. I've heard lots of people get at speaking about the negatives of life, but what true love is there if it can't handle hardships. It's the hardships that make Beren and Luthien, Strider and Arwen such solid couples.
Those are not The kind of hardships that people complain about
I agree
true love eh
Calling King Aragorn II son of Arathorn Elessar Elfstone by the name 'Strider' is like calling the Queen of England 'Grandma'. Although true, such nicknames are lowly to say the least :D
@@di3486 Kid, that's where you're wrong. There are plenty of such or variations of such even if small details are different. And even in cases where more major differences are notable, the hardships of the noted two couples from the original commentators is symbolic of hardships that reveal and temper true and genuine love as a whole.
May we all be lucky enough to find love like Aragorn and Arwyen's. Happy Valentine's day!
"There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by the men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the sea. And so passed Arwen Undómiel, Evenstar of her people and the likeness of Lúthien the beloved, whom they have lost. An an end was come to the Eldar, of story and of song." Every time I bawl my eyes out reading the Appendices.
Me too. I think Arwens should have been interred next to her beloved husband Aragorn...And their children should have been made known to us all, and their lives should have been Aragorn and Arwen's future ...🌹🌹🌹🌹
"I thought I had strayed into a dream." ❤
Love is worth the struggle. And remaining true to love is never easy, but the promise is that it will be worth it, not that it will simply always be easy.
Dated for 4 years, engaged for a little over 1, married for 6 months, and it still feels like a dream. ❤️
Ahhh I never get tired of this love story. The biggest upside is that this doesn’t end like Romeo and Juliet lol 😆
Very good point!!
Suicide is not sacrificial love or Agape.
@@yvonneche2 Agreed!
The Children of Hurin should be for you. It is 1000X more tragic than Romeo and Juliet. 🤔🙄🙄
The greatest love story ever told;
Pippin and Second Breakfast.
Feanor and his mirror would be a close runner up.
Would then "Elevensies" be his mistress...?
Nonsense. When it comes to Second Breakfast, no-one was greater than Bombur.
@@timonsolus Third breakfast, not second breakfast if we are talking about Bombur.
What about elevensies?
I love Aragorn and Arwen💕, they're the pinnacle of true love for me.
"If I leave him now, I will regret it forever"
Everyones favorite couple ❤
We should all b so lucky to find someone who would wait all the ages of the world for us.
They're love is strong and everlasting however I've often wondered why Arwen was not buried by his side? It's nice that her final resting place was the spot where they first met but still, my modern mind can only ponder as to why 🤔
I guess in the end it doesn't matter where your bodies finally lay, your spirits will find one another ❤
Side note: loving these earlier drop times, best way to start my day :))
My favorite after Eowyn and Faramir
Still a better love story than Twilight...
Just kidding, the best love story there ever was :)
Teh Lurd, I want to thank you for the laughs!
Lol, love your content+
Beren + Luthien 🤍
TWL wasn't a love story was a lesson on how not to be like Bella. It was very toxic
Well, both stories involve a moral and an immortal
One does not simply not read the appendices
Honestly I love Aragorn and Arwen's story. They're just very sweet to eachother! 😍😍😍❤💗💕❤💗💕
Hugo Weaving delivers the line so perfectly when he describes how noble Aragorn would become as King Elessar: "An image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world."
Lovely... I have had to say farewell to my beloved man of Gondor.. .which is what I called him when I first met him. There is no sorrow worse than saying farewell to your beloved when he opens that door that you can not walk through, with him. As much as you love, your sorrow will be doubled when the other one, departs. I am no Arwen ... no beauty. I'm more like a hobbit or a dwarf, but our love was sublime for many years. Love demands everything of us, and gives us back, even more.
Happy Valentines day to everyone. Appreciate what you have when you have it... there are no promises in life.
Great video yet again. :)
Thanks David, I appreciate it buddy!
I love your content Yoystan.
We of the "Men of the West" will always remember and admire Tolkien's works and teachings💖.
Once more, you've nailed it. Well told.
I love Aragorn and Arwen love story I like how history repeats itself first being Beren and luthien then being Aragorn and Arwen anyways happy valentine day and as always stand men of the west
Great video, mellon! Aragorn and Arwen are such a great love story (hands down the best in my opinion, if it wasn't for Beren and Luthien)!
It’s, like, perfectly romantic. I almost feel unworthy to behold something so beautiful unfolding and blossoming
Beautiful video to go along with a beautiful story, Quite a few similarities between the two stories of Beren and Luthien and Aragorn and Arwen and in the end their stories come to a full circle.
This is why Tolkien was so amazing, he knew how to tell a true romantic story.
another breaking of my heart... also beautifully told, I loved listening to you tell it.
"She is of a lineage greater than yours."
"Bro, I'm literally descended from your brother. We talkin shit about the fam now?!"
😂 very true. But also, ouch. To be told you are so far beneath the girl you like... that would hurt anyone
@@MenoftheWest right?! haha. I always wonder if, in the moments when Elrond was being the most difficult (lovingly) with Aragorn, that he was thinking about Elros in a way.
I always wonder the same thing. I’m sure that’s part of why he was also okay with allowing his daughter to remain in Middle-earth to restore the kingship, his brother’s own line.
But I thought Elrond himself said that Arwen's lineage was greater than his, since Arwen's blood also came from Galadriel?
@@timothywong7280 and Galadriel's mother was the cousin of Luthien, whom Aragorn is descended from. They are, ultimately, of the same kin many times over.
Well done, Yoystan! A beautiful story, full of love and poignant sorrow. I can say no more, for it is beyond words. Namarie.
Happy Valentine's day everyone ❤ I'm so glad I showed up on time for this video! 😊
Such a lovely video and their story is one of my favorites 💕One of my favorite lines from the movie is when Arwen says to Aragorn: Ae ú-esteliach nad… estelio han… estelio ammen (If you trust nothing else… trust this… trust us).
That was nice, it was really nice. Aragorn will always belong to Arwen. This was Tokien' s great love story he left to us all. Brought tears to my eyes... All good souls should live a thousand years. 💔 🌹🌹
This love story is epic! It filled me with so many emotions. Your dedication to J.R.R. Tolkien 's great works is truly seen in this video. Happy valentine's day. 💝
To live means to say goodbye...time after time after time.
Was just about to check if this was up yet!
You did a beautiful job! Noble and Inspiring--and I shed a tear or two. Lovely art work choices too!
You are the absolute BEST! Breaking down Tolkien is not easy and you my Mellon are the best I've seen! Well done 👍
I still remember the wonderful video from one year ago, Eowyn and Faramir. This one was not less incredible!!!❤️
The third best love story to me after Thingol and Melian and their daughter Luthien and Beren.
Except that Melian was never mortal, and did not die, but returned to Valinor.
@@timonsolus This just made her love more tragic. She will forever be longing for Thingol.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APRECCIATES MELIAN AND THINGOL, SUCH A POWER COUPLE! I would add Aegnor and Andreth or Faramir and Eowyn
Like Beren and Luthian, it's a love unlike any other.
The irony here is almost poetic
Here, alone this Valentine's Day, now happy, having seen your video. Thank you ❤
Perfect love story that will last until the end of time ♡
"An image of the splendor of the kings, undimmed before the breaking of the world". I don't think the film-makers of The Lord of the Rings will ever understand the beauty, sorrow and granduer of what they created. Whenever I watch *that* scene I cry for the love and sadness I feel so deeply in my being; those lines so poignant in their speaking call to every part of my foolish, romantic heart.
Thank you for making this video, I appreciate your storytelling, even though I only just recently found it. Your touch at the end was beautiful.
"From this tale of love, happiness and sorrow, we see that we must never turn away from who we are meant to be, the trials we are meant to endure, or the wisdom that our hearts tell us. There come times for all things: love, hardships, life and death. And, we must must live with them all with what wisdom we can while we have such time."
My Favorite couple in Lord of the Rings. Aragon and Arwen are my Favorite Hero and Heroine in pop culture and delivered my favorite lines in Lord of the Rings
*Sons of Gondor and Rohan my brothers,I see in your eyes the same fear that will take the heart of me,A day may come when the courage of men fails and we forsake our friends and breaks all bonds of fellowship but it is not this day,An hour of Wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down and it's not this day....This day we fight....by all that you hold dear on this good earth I Bid you stand MEN OF THE WEST!!* *if you want him...come and Claim him* I was sheading tears when I was writing Aragon's speech at the Black Gate of Mordor Return of The King is my favorite Lord of the rings film of all time
Aragorn represents the best version of a man possible)
*snuggles into my bed* ahhh time for my weekly, amazing Men of the West video!
Thank you for a fine telling of this tale.
Can you do a what if Orodreth had listened to Ulmo’s counsel and destroyed the bridge of Nargothrond?
Now do the love story of Sam and Rose.
Already liked it, will watch it tomorrow or some other day though. I wait for a very happy day to watch it since i want to end the day with watching this certainly wonderful story :)
Beautiful video my friend! God knows I'll be telling my children these stories when I'm older.
This tale of love between Aragorn and Arwen is breathtaking!!!
Happy Valinetine's to all Middle-earth, you and Nerd of the Rings are true Masters of Arda💪👏
So, basically what you're saying is that when Aragorn saw Arwen he called to her in the most romantic way he could think of and her only reply was,
"Yeah, I get that a lot."
*Insert Saruman trollolollolollolollolollolollolollo la*
"You are as beautiful as Lut-"
"Luthien, yup, uh-huh."
@@Samael767 "You walk in the likeness of Luth-"
"I've got an elf-friend."
Well atleast he didnt say "I dont like sand..." : /
Such a profound love story! And so beautifully narrated!
This story is as epic as the greatest movie for Valentine's day, DEADPOOL.🤣💘
That was beautiful you had me in tears. 👏👏👏👏 Thank You
A majestic couple. Wonderful video!
Thank you for these videos! Middle Earth is wonderful
Yoystan, you've done it again! You made a beautiful video of my favourite series of novels!
A reoccurring thing I found in all of the human-elf romances is it's always human man and elf woman also both are of the rich upper class or at least descended from nobility and the elf always gives up her immortality (which may explain a lot about how Tolkien saw his marriage story)
I noticed a few of your illustrations (the Fellowship arriving in Lothlorien and the wedding scene) were from an LOTR calendar by an artist called Hildebrande, which I had back in the 70s! So cool to see those. Thanks for a great video.
Happy Valentines Day ❤️
Thanks also for your beautiful voice and clear english even for me that I'm Italian
Such an amazing love story between Aragorn and Arwen. Great video buddy!
Thanks for doing this video. I have been waiting all week. Love your videos as always. God bless
Beautiful as love Men of the west
All the best for you & keep going with your marvellous stories from Middle west magnificently told ❤️🌹👍
14:02 **braces self preemptively, knowing it's never gonna be enough**
I love this story, even though it friggin wreaks me every single time. #goals
Great video, mellon!
Thanks very appropriate choice , happy valentine's day to all
The love I’ll never have but always dream about 😞 A♥️A = eternal
Miss these videos.
I’m quite curious about the children of Aragorn and Arwen, do they have a lot of history? or is there not a lot written about them?
Great video 👍🏼
Thank you, my friend! They unfortunately don't have much history. We only know a bit about Eldarion but nothing of the daughters.
@@MenoftheWest Ah I see, thank you! A shame though maybe some interesting stories to be had there!
Goodness. Thank you, Yoystan.
I wish we got a spinoff novel about Aragorn and Arwen. Aragorn lived a long life. Surely, he has some interesting stories.
Awesome 💯💫
So, Aragorn meet Arwen only 1 meeting since he was 20 years old- until age 49 then he meet Arwen for second time in Lothlórien (durind the visit of Lady Galadriel) 🤔
"...But Arwen went forth from the House, and the light of her eyes was quenched, 🥹
and it seemed to her people that she had become cold and grey as nightfall in winter that comes without a star...🌠
...and she went out from the city of Minas Tirith and passed away to the land of Lórien🍃
and dwelt there alone under the fading trees until winter came 🍁🍂
and the land was silent.
...There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, 🍂 but spring had not yet come... she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth (the beauty Hill).
and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by people that come after... 💔
(Arwen, The End 😌 - 121 4th...)
Loved the collab!
You finally answered my years long question. I always wondered if Arwen loved her children because in every telling of her story that I can find, it does not mention it. They all say she loved Aragorn, and when he passed, she fell into bitter despair and went off to the home of her people (which was gone now) and laid down and passed. I could not find anything saying she loved her children, said goodbye to them, or anything. It all made it sound like she only loved Aragorn, bore children for him to make him happy, but only loved him.
Now, this brings me to another question brought up from this video. Since I always wondered if she loved her children, and if she loved them, why didn't she stay for them even after the passing of her husband? So, from this video, I am gathering that she was supposed to die. It was part of her trial, and her and Aragorn had completed all of them. With the exception of her still needing to pass from the world, which she finally did. Am I right?
Aragorn had it easy. Elrond was way nicer than most of the dads I had to deal with when I came to date their daughter.
Ummm... so what great Kingdoms did you have to reunite to get permission to date his daughter? Geezus the guy went 30 years into the wild and then had to ascend the throne of two kingdoms and you think you have it hard.
Damn what a sombering story, I loved this love story, might have to get into the LOTR a lot more now
Loved this story and read it all the time
Such a beautiful love story ❤
Nice work dude thanks
Aw, thanks for your (3rd or 4th) 3rd Love Story in the Middle Earth Legendarium and Very Likely again based on the Romance between Tolkien and his lovely Edith...Man, Tolkien is one great Romantic Author, he based (some key ones) on him and his wife!!! *So Cute*
Well, another Valentines' Day Came and Went and I am still *Alone* I am glad, that I can read in my spare time, but It would be nice to have a certain someone be like the best romantic Males in Middle Earth...I guess I have to wait... *Sighs*
*Snaps out of it* Anyway Thanks again for a great Romance Mellon, and a Video Being Early Again...Until a video on The Dunlendings Marion Baggins Out!!!
thank you sir, much appreciated :) awesome work!
Beautiful message too.
Perfection.
Thank you for yet another great video!
Can someone explain me, why Aragorn when he speaks to Arwen just before he dies seems to think, Arwen can go West but she actually can't? How could he be confused about such an important detail?
I love to think that their spirits did manage to find themselves beyond the veil ... silly I know, but I can hope
Yoysten! Brother in the eyes of Eru! Please slake my thirst for the short (but what I am sure you will enrich in your own way) story of Eriol and The Cottage of Lost Play! My man I would love to hear your input on this for it seems the beginning of all things.
The descendent of Elron Brother Aragorn and Elron Daughter Arwen what a love story their Grit,Wisdom,and bond made this a love story to live in Forever amazing video as always 💓
Amazing video, very well done
This was the greatest evil of Melkor. He poisoned the Gift and put fear of the "Darkness" into Men. Said "Darkness" being the Gift to leave the world and be with Eru. The Edain at first turned away from the Darkness and went to Eru willingly, though not without grief from loved ones. But they who lived after knew that they would join their loved ones. So it was until the Shadow grew again in the Second Age. Melkor put forth his influence and the Fear came upon Men again. The one thing that they could not break free from. For even the best of Men had this Fear and clung to life, forgetting that death was truly a Gift. And so it is to this day. "Tried myself, in the school of affliction, by the loss of every form of connection which can rive the human heart, I know well, and feel what you have lost, what you have suffered, are suffering, and have yet to endure. the same trials have taught me that, for ills so immeasurable, time and silence are the only medecines. I will not therefore, by useless condolances, open afresh the sluices of your grief nor, altho’ mingling sincerely my tears with yours, will I say a word more, where words are vain, but that it is of some comfort to us both that the term is not very distant at which we are to deposit, in the same cerement, our sorrows and suffering bodies, and to ascend in essence to an ecstatic meeting with the friends we have loved & lost and whom we shall still love and never lose again." --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, November 13, 1818 upon hearing of the death of Abigail Adams.
I remember your telling of the story of Beren and Luthein. The greatest love story of the Tolkien saga. That telling was epic,and made me subscribe. Now I go and revisit.
I am happy that this love story DID NOT end up being a “Romeo and Juliet” type of tragedy.
Thank You for this...
True Love exists if only in the lands of Arda...
ah i was just telling my gf how these two were related and then i refresh and here this is
Beautiful 🌹
Wonderfully made video. It captures the story so beautifully... ❤️
Awesome as as always.Do you think you could make a video about Tuor too please?
Their story always makes me cry
