#pippin took

[emilybeemartin]

Hey you know how Pippin and Diamond had a son and they named him Faramir? And then they introduced him to his namesake and he immediately gained the biggest uncle ever? And how Faramir and Elboron would pal around together and became close lifelong friends? And how Faramir and Elboron both took after their fathers, in that Elboron became a gentle scholar who helped restore lasting peace between Gondor and Harad and Faramir became the fightingest Thain Tuckborough had produced in generations and carried his father's sword and was known for leading the defense of the Evendim Road in the goblin skirmishes following the restoration of Annúminas? Okay so only the first line is actually canon but the rest is also canon

Pippin: *finds a lace thin silky veil robe* AND ONE OF US WEARS IT AND ONLY IT ON THE FIRST NIGHT AFTER OUR WEDDING

Arwen: oh yeah *bites her lip theatrically*

Elrond: that’s it *leaves*

Aragorn: *standing up* okay now I have to assassinate you

Pippin: AND IT WILL BE MEEEE!

Arwen: oh boy how horny I am now *tongue on her lip* mmmhmmmm

Pippin: you and me both, little elf

Arwen: *makes a claw with her hand* rAwR

Aragorn: *stands up* okay bye

Arwen: where are you going

Aragorn: I’m going to fuck Legolas before he gets married too

Legolas: *getting fucked by Gimli in the bushes literally five metres away* OOOOVER HEEERE!

hot take: Pippin is the only one of the hobbits who is ‘team Arwen’ in the ‘who is the most beautiful woman in the world’ argument

A Merry and Pippin doodle page from a few months ago when me and some friends were rewatching LOTR (again)-- and I had the very strong urge to just draw a myriad of these two.

They are the lifeblood of the Shire istg, I'm so happy they became Master of Buckland and the Thain after this--

It's also the coveted origin of my current profile picture!

Pippin: Hello. Gandalf: Hello? Pippin: I can't sleep. :/ Gandalf: I can. Goodnight.

I feel rather fondly of halfling characters

[godfrey-the-chaos-duck]

pretty sure he can, actually

Pippin you can’t say that

[thetiredprometheus]

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

ever get so bored-

what if the fellowship went winter camping? 🏕❄

[camille-lachenille]

Imagine just how popular the members of the Fellowship would be in Gondor and Rohan after the War of the Ring. They’re the heroes who saved the world, and the common folks look up at them in awe.

A few years after the end of the war, Legolas is visiting Minas Tirith when he hears a woman call his name. He turns around, surprised, only to see this stranger calling after a toddler running away from her. “Legolas, come back to mama!” she calls, over and over. There’s a baby on her hip who start crying, and she gently shushes her little Pippin. Legolas walks away, feeling wistful and wondering.

In Rohan, Éomer hears one of his men proudly announce the birth of his first child, a little boy named Merry; he smiles and congratulates the young father, making a mental note to write to Merry Brandybuck.

Gimli becomes a very popular name for little girls in Gondor, and this sends Aragorn and Legolas into hysterical fits of laughter. Gimli is unbearably proud of this fact.

Samwise and Frodo, too, become popular children names, no matter the gender, and especially amongst lower class folks. When Sam hears of the news, he turns red and sputtering.

Two decades or so after the war, Faramir almost has a heart attack when one of the new recruits of the guard of Ithilien almost sheepishly introduces himself as Boromir.

the last thing you see before you die

[legitimatesatanspawn]

You know, they weren't really wrong considering that Pippin was related to the Old Took and the current Thain. Hell, he even was the Thain for like 50 years after the events of LotR.

... except rather than being explicitly royalty, the Thainship is closer to being like the Stewards. Except the line of kings they owe sovereignty to are either hella dead (or worse: undead) or got folded into Aragorn's Rangers. I forget which.

So TECHNICALLY, Pippin has a similar rank as Denethor's sons (probably closer to some xth in line cousin like Alphros though). Still very bold!

If people keep comparing Bilbo to being a prince for Dwarven Panic, we should also do the same with Frodo (his heir and cousin) and Pippin and Merry too.

Legolas pretty quickly gets in the habit of venting about his travelling companions in Elvish, so long as Gandalf & Aragorn aren’t in earshot they’ll never know right?

Then about a week into their journey like

Legolas: *in Elvish, for approximately the 20th time* ugh fucking hobbits, so annoying

Frodo: *also in Elvish, deadpan* yeah we’re the worst

Legolas:

[beatx-mavie-archangelx]

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".

I just want to help my friends.

Boromir + concern for the Hobbits
