Could we please stop calling people gay in this thread, Morthoron! Your crack at Michael Angelo was bad enough, but calling Faramir so is pushing the limits. All that I've heard implied about Beorn is that he's cool, don't call characters things that they are not if you can't find anything good to back up your character choice.

Faramir rode into the jaws of certain death with his company to appease his father's will. Now that is devotion and courage. Faramir read the hearts of men as shrewdly as his father, but what he read moved him sooner to pity than to scorn. He was gentle in bearing, and a lover of lore and of music, and therefore by many in those days his courage was judged less than his brother's. But it was not so, except that he did not seek glory in danger without a purpose.

Michelangelo was the world's greatest sculptor. He also happened to be gay, as was Leonardo Da Vinci. It is not a big deal, and you've taken what I said about him out of context (actually, it was a slap at certain Christians who would place in hell anyone they disagree with). I am sorry you are unaware of history. Perhaps reading might help.

As far as the term 'sensitive metrosexual', it does not indicate someone who is gay; on the contrary, it is an exclusively heterosexual term. Study your neologisms before you make accusations and go overboard spouting your indignation. It is becoming tedious.

Faramir is an adorable emo boy whom I love muchly, but Beorn is just awesome. Bears are awesome.

People are forgetting that this is Middle-earth Mirth.

Book Faramir was awesome. His encounter with Frodo is one of my favorite bits in LotR. Great conversations...

I'm noticing some going a big overboard on their feelings on this thread. Please remember that this thread is on the mirth sub-forum and is by no means canon. It is light hearted and fun. Absurd reasons can be given to not vote or to vote for any candidate. Please lighten up or I will lighten you up a bit

++Faramir.

Because... um... I don't like bears. (Not that I know any personally.)

[Thinlómien]

Once again two characters I like against each other... Hmph...

++Beorn

Because, to use my new favourite word, he's cooler.

I like Faramir very much, but he's such a perfect hero that it annoys me a bit. I mean, for example, if I think of it reasonably, I should prefer him to Boromir by far, but I just don't. Because Boromir is less of a saint, and thus more interesting.

Beorn is an interesting guy. I love his unpredictability and his sense of humour. I also like it that even though he's gruff and you could almost call him a brute, he has a warm heart and has hidden wisdom... Hmmm, actually, kind of the stereotypic Man of North... And of course he has a fascinating relationship with nature and that shapeshifting is just incredible...
