#rammstein x lotr crossover

Hi hi hello 👉👈 so... Opinion on our Lord and Savior Strider Schneider? ❤️💫

Hiiii and welcome! ❤️

My opinion on Strider Schneider? 100% yes. In fact, I'm all for it. First reason, and this one is rather obvious, is the physical resemblance. Here's the quote from The Fellowship of the Ring book:

"...a shaggy head of dark hair flecked with grey, and in a pale stern face a pair of keen grey eyes."

Okay, his face is not exactly stern here, but you get the idea. And also the grey stubble ugh-

Gandalf also calls Strider "lean, dark, tall". Isn't it just a wonderful description that also applies to Schneider? He looks noble but there's something undeniably dark about him. Well, mostly about his younger version. (Now he is just a dorky dilf occasionally channeling his inner tier)

Book Strider is also very direct and straightforward. Sounds familiar, right? 🤔 And he can also be unintentionally hilarious and intentionally sassy, sometimes a savage even. Here's another quote from The Fellowship of the Ring book that makes me cackle:

"[Mr. Butterbur, looking suspiciously at Strider.] 'But if I was in your plight, I wouldn't take up with a Ranger.'

'Then who would you take up with?' asked Strider. 'A fat innkeeper who only remembers his own name because people shout it at him all day?' "

Oof. What a savage. I can totally imagine Schneider saying something like this. You would absolutely want to follow him to the end… into the very fires of Mordor but you wouldn't want to fight him. Because he would absolutely fuck you up.

So, yeah, here are some of my thoughts ✨ Thank you for the ask!

Awww thank you for your reply ❤️ And that 'Richard as an elf lord' ask immediately caught my attention so I went to check it out straight away. I'm kind of giggling because I like to imagine Richard as a Half-elf. He definitely has this signature Noldor sass and Elvish gracefulness but he's also prone to the weaknesses of Men (respectfully). So yeah, it's awesome that he is your choice for Elrond (and what a crossover that would be) 😌

Hallo! Okay, first of all, I’m so excited to find your blog because not only you love Rammstein but also LOTR??? And your replies are so wholesome they make me both smile and cry ❤️

I hope it’s okay to ramble on about both R+ and LOTR because it’d be awesome to hear your thoughts. So, my personal headcanon is that in the LOTR universe Schneider would be a Dúnadan. I mean, in The Two Towers there is this description of the Dúnedain: “Goodly men, pale-skinned, dark of hair, with grey eyes and faces sad and proud.” Technically, Schneider’s eyes are blue, but otherwise this is a pretty good description. And then a while ago I stumbled across this absolute gem of a picture:

This is literally Aragorn! Like, try to convince me otherwise lol.

By the way, what do you think other Rammstein boys would be in the LOTR universe?

Thank you for your attention~

Hello 👋🏻

Thank you so much for your message, this really put a smile on my face 😊

And dare I say you found a pretty appropriate place to talk about Rammstein and Lord of the rings simultaneously, because let me tell you: these are major hyperfixations of mine 🤌🏻 In this house, we absolutely adore, cherish and love the scary six German men, Richard is my love, always (I could write and have written absolutely delusional essays on several topics about him)

as well as delve into the love for Lord of the Rings - I am very much devoted to Elrond if that's not already clear from being maybe about 5 seconds on my blog (don't get me started on him or his actor Hugo Weaving, just don't, for your own personal safety)

so welcome 🤲🏻

Regarding Schneider as Aragorn (love the description of the Dunédain fitting so well), I have this ask where @blessed-by-the-elves and I discussed the resemblance, then we have this ask about Flake maybe being a potential candidate for Bilbo, then this ask which started the 'Richard as an elf lord'-craze in the first place, and this absolutely masterpiece by @dandysnob which tried out various different LotR roles for different band members 😌

So you see, you might just be in good company in this fandom 😅

@marimayscarlett @blessed-by-the-elves @dandysnob I think we have been summoned 👀 Richard once again fancasted as Elrond, this is not a drill!

But anon, let me kindly disagree with you and assign Flake another role, ✨Gandalf✨. He would make a great Gandalf, a bit chaotic, sarcastic, funny, fond of speaking in riddles, smoker, and a very important member of the Fellowship 😌🤲

Crosover idea:

Paul: bilbo baggins

Schneider: Aragorn

Flake: Gollum

Ollie: ent tree

Till: boromir

...and richard??? Elrond maybe???

sorry, i haven't read this book, so I don't know what you're talking about 🙈
