here’s modern au merry and pip I made a while ago

Hey LOTR fandom--

It is a well known fact that Merry and Pippin were laid to rest in Gondor when they traveled there before they passed. However not much is specified on how they died (though presumably of old age or other natural afflictions), or, specifically when they died. Only that they just eventually passed on.

Which begs the question I have been toiling over--

I will also take thoughts on the manner in which they ended up passing on. It's a detail of their lives that unfortunately isn't delved in too heavily. But for my heart that loves angst, my mind simply must think about it.

lotr but nobody knows anything about the other races

Pippin thinks Legolas is a woman

Boromir is convinced that the hobbits are all 15 max

Everyone thinks that Merry and Pippin are twins, except for Legolas, who is convinced the hobbits are quadruplets

Sam thinks that Aragorn, Boromir and Legolas don't have to eat to survive

Legolas doesn't mention things he sees or hears because he thinks the others have noticed them too and just assumes they have a plan

Pippin complains that he is hungry and Legolas just gives him a handful of grass. Pippin is so confused that he just takes it, and now Legolas tries to figure out what hobbits can eat by just giving them random shit, like

Things the hobbits have accepted and likely eaten later (a list by legolas)

-Grass - Leaves

-Stones - a hair tie

-A feather - one of Gimli's shoes

The hobbits and Gimli just assume that this is what elves eat

I like that detail a lot, since it reflects the mistrust of "education" (usually because of government sanctioning) that was common in rural England at the turn of the century. I think it's an interesting reference to that opinion! (I could start on the Great Chain of Being and how that affected rural population's ideas of "education" but I'd be here all day so)

Someone PLEASE tell the Witch-King of Angmar that this little hobbit genuinely thinks it’s anyone’s guess whether or not he’s literate. PLEASE.

"Catch me" meme but it's Merry with Eowyn

Don't worry they're fine!

I don't think the fandom talks enough about how traumatizing the mines of Moria must've been for the hobbits.

And I'm not referring to Gandalf's death (this is actually quite discussed), that's "oh no, they've killed grandpa".

I'm talking about the members of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield they've found dead. The hobbits grew up listening to the tales of their adventure and their extraordinary deeds.

That's "fuck they've killed the Avengers".
