Lord of the Rings fangirl time

[krait]

You know what? I have never had so strong a reaction to someone disrobing on screen as the one I have at the bit in Two Towers, where Aragorn at Helm's Deep is arming before the battle, still believing he's going to die with the Rohirrim on the walls. I just... Uhnf. I don't even have words. It makes me simultaneously want to pull on my own armour and pick up blade and join the hopeless defence as a comrade in arms, and kiss him like Arwen doesn't even exist, right there on the cavern floor with the remains of the Fellowship watching.
