tbh i never got why so many straight women are into legolas. like, what do you think hes going to do? top you? i have to laugh
One of my fav things about Gandalf is, he can & canonically does Full Name hobbits when he’s angry like he’s their mum or something
important follow up Qs:
1) does it frustrate Gandalf that he can’t do this to Bilbo & Frodo with the same impact bcos they don’t have nicknames
2) does he do it to non hobbits
Gandalf, in the distance: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN
Aragorn: oh shit I’m in trouble
I think when Gandalf is pissed with Hobbits he reverts to the extremely formal Mister Baggins!
you’ve cracked it, that’s absolutely what he does
you know how mad he is based on how far back into your lineage he goes, consider:
Mild: Meriadoc Brandybuck! (last name only, you’ll probably live)
Mad: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN! (now your ancestors are involved, bad)
Murderous: THORIN, SON OF THRÁIN, SON OF THRÓR! (you are maybe about to meet your ancestors, via Gandalf… and not glorious battle)
That feeling when you watch Fellowship of the Ring and realize that the lotr soundtrack seeped into your bones sometime in your childhood and became a physical part of you
The Sackville-Bagginses: Bilbo, open this door right now
Bilbo: ✔️ Seen 12:23pm
me desperately trying to come up with a reason to do something stupid I definitely shouldn’t do
Aragorn: I’m here to fight Sauron and undo the mistakes of my ancestor
Gimli: I’m here to represent the Dwarves in this adventure
Legolas: My dad kicked me out of the house and I didn’t have anything else to do so here I am.
I never want any context for this ever
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO
