Lotr Characters and their Kids-Headcanons

Sam and Frodo-

They just have Elanor who was orphaned during the Troubles. She’s a precocious kid and very into all things Elvish just like her dads. Like in the books she moves to gondor for a year and is a handmaiden to Arwen. After that she stays another year and studies botany and becomes a pioneering scientist in the study of medicinal plants. She writes a book on it and its considered a classic. Eventually moves back to the Shire to be by her parents (who move to the seaside when they get older) and she marries Pippin’s son.

Merry and Estella-

they weren’t too keen on having kids initially but when Estella gets pregnant they are excited. Their son’s name is Theoden- Theo for short and he’s a lot like his mother but close with his father. Two years later they try for another and its another boy whom they name Boromir but he just goes by Boro- he fights with his brother a lot but they also get into a lot of trouble together

Pippin and Diamond-

Their son is Faramir and he’s best friends with Elanor. His craziness balances out well with Elanor’s more introverted qualities. Pippin also has triplet little girls- Poppy, Violet, and Frances. They terrorize Tookland.

Aragorn and Arwen-

They have four kids. All the kids are very polite intelligent and beautiful. Eldarion is the oldest and raised to be king. Because of this he has a lot of anxiety from an early age which he doesn’t tell his parents about until well into his teens but when he does they are very supportive. Gilraen is his younger sister and she is very scholarly. She helps found the first University in Minas Tirith and is Eldarion’s number 1 counselor. Miriel is a the middle kid and enjoys spending time with Legolas and Gimli-she’s a bit of a loner but grows up to be a respected diplomat to Harad , Mirkwood, and Erebor because she’s interested in bridging cultural divides. Luthien who goes by Lucie, is the youngest and a bit spoiled. She’s very adventurous and idolizes Eowyn. She grows up to lead the Dunedain.

Faramir and Eowyn- Elboron is their son and is doted on by his parents who both grew up kind of neglected (especially Faramir) he’s a very kind kid and takes after his dad a lot. Close with his parents even into adulthood and has a very healthy relationship with them. When he’s a 10 they have a little girl named Melian (Mel for short) she’s very fiery as a child and close with her older brother. She grows up to be both a healer and a strong leader just like her namesake, never marries but has a long term fem partner from Rohan.

Legolas and Gimli don’t have kids they just are the cool uncles to everyone else’s. They are perfectly happy with that. They do have a couple dogs whom they treat like children (see pet headcanons post).

university modern au aragorn x boromir & legolas x gimli headcanons

mostly bc i can and i rly need to

Aragorn and Boromir are renting together a small and kinda shitty flat

Faramir lives with them like 5 out of 7 days a week or more, sometimes at Theoden’s place as well with Eomer and Eowyn

Let’s just say the brothers don’t like Denethor and it’s a shitty life but at least they love each other right?

Boromir works at a coffee shop after classes, and sometimes does nights at Gimli’s bar

Btw Gimli is a drop out who opened a bar and is dating Aragorn’s uni friend Legolas

Elrond is the one renting them the shitty flat

So it’s not rly shitty, it’s nice they are just broke

Elrond is still Aragorn’s foster dad, and Arwen lives near them and is absolutely purest best soul alive

Aragorn smokes weed

Boromir doesn’t

Until he does one time, he says it was weird but also would do it again with Aragorn

He smokes regular cigarettes tho, like a lot

Boromir is a whiskey person, Aragorn is a wine person

Gimli is a beer person

Legolas just likes to drink (also wine person)

Legolas and Aragorn like to do sleepovers with a lot of wine and gossips, they paint each others nails and watch stupid shit on tv

And Gimli and Boromir drink together after the bar is close

The bar has a name and it’s Moria

I am gonna definitely do more of those bc this is my fav modern au i’ve ever made and i don’t have time to write it properly but if u do PLS SEND IT TO ME I RLY WANT TO READ IT😭

Theoden’s chambers are warm — in colour and temperature. The walls wooden paneled, decorated with animals and plants and mythical beings from old legends. Covering that are tapestries of Eomarc’s history: Eorl and the Oath, Helm Hammerhand and the fortress, the Union of the Ten Tribes from before Eorl’s time. That being one of the earliest stories of their people. 

At the centre of the room, a fire burns strong in the circular hearth. Positioned around it, several stools and chairs between which are low tables. In Theoden’s livelier days, they would be covered in cards, dice, books sent from Gondor, little sketches and drawings for the king enjoyed attempting his hand at draughtsmanship and, to Grima’s limited knowledge on the matter, seemed to have a keen eye for it. 

Another lifetime, Theoden always said to him. Another lifetime I’m a draughtsman. And you? If you could choose another occupation than the one life has found for you?

I couldn’t say, my lord. There is precious little I take pleasure in, aside from what I do now. 

You write. I’ve seen you scribbling away in your little journals. What is it? Poetry? No, not you. Treatises, perhaps. In the Gondor style. On statesmanship or the craft of being a courtier. 

Grima hid his blushes by drinking wine and saying, vaguely, It’s nothing of any import or quality, my lord. 

Tell me, Theoden was ever a gentle coaxer of information. 

Translations. Some of our stories into my mother’s language. Also, perhaps, a few musings on the craft of translation. What is the role of the translator. How should one approach the art. But nothing of any depth or insight. 

Theoden sat back, pulled a paper over to sketch across, and said with dry amusement, Oh I doubt that. I doubt that very much. 

Once again, Grima being like: I DON’T NEED NO FATHER FIGURE IN MY LIFE. 

Theoden: have you tried letting in kindness?

Grima: SOUNDS LIKE A FAKE THING. SO NO.

Lotr for the fandom ask

oh god I love too many characters in this series this could get messy

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

in order: Sam, Pippin, Gandalf, Eowyn, Merry, Boromir, Theoden, Frodo, Gimli, Legolas, Faramir, Aragorn (there's a reason I have an i love everyone in this fellowship tag...)

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Frodo & Pippin scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) Eomer and Theoden. Also Hamfast Gamgee deserves more love.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Rosie Cotton. (also Diamond and Estella: a little awkward given the background they appear in is a literal family tree) poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

the Sackville-Bagginses might have snotty jackasses but they're entertaining.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) I do love seeing fics where Aragorn suffers from days on end hobbit-wrangling, keeping Legolas and Gimli from killing each other, and dealing with Boromir's 'cool hobbit dad' nonsense

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

I feel like the beauty of LOTR - the book version, anyway - is even the worst villains (Wormtongue, Saruman, Denethor) have an element of brilliant tragedy to them that makes it difficult to condemn them to superhell: they've already fucked themselves over enough more than anything I could do to them.

Screw Melkor for metaphorically not turning off his mobile during the awesome rock opera of the creation of the universe though.

The last instalment of the Boromir-Lives LOTR rewrite. Helm's Deep has concluded and we are on to the Return of the King.

Boromir and Gandalf are off to Gondor to see what they can do to help. Aragorn, because he likes to take the most whack routes possible, is to drag the remainder Fellowship through the paths of the dead. No one signed up for this.

With our Rohan compatriots: Grima continues to be a hot wreck who is actually managing himself not half-bad, all things considered. Eowyn just wants to really, really fight the baddies. Theoden thinks everyone needs to cool it for ten seconds. Eomer has never heard the word "chill" in his life.

Anyway - things continue to go pear shaped.

--

Obligatory excerpt: 

‘Who was the ninth?’

‘I beg pardon, father?’

‘Who was your ninth companion. You said there were nine and I’ve heard of eight, including you and Mithrandir.’

‘Oh, no one in particular. A ranger who happened to be around and offered to be our guide as he knew the land and the people for a portion of the journey.’

‘And does this ranger have a name?’

‘Strider,’ Boromir supplies, silently thanking the gods for Sam’s penchant of never using Aragorn’s given name. ‘I’m not sure what his actual name is, even if he has one. I assume he must.’

‘And where is he from?’

‘Not sure. Bree maybe? Somewhere in the north.’

Denethor gives a long, slow nod. Then, with careful disinterest, ‘They breed a very capable sort of ranger in Bree, it seems.’

things are going great with Boromir and his dad, trust me.
