Who is allowed to carry the hobbits
Gandalf can pick up any of them
Aragorn can lift Bilbo, Frodo, Merry or Pippin. Maaaybe Sam, but only if Sam is sick or injured or otherwise can’t walk. He won’t just let Aragorn pick him up just because.
Eowyn can lift Merry, maybe Pippin
Faramir can lift Pippin and Frodo, maybe Merry and Sam. 
Any of the dwarves from the Company can lift Bilbo
Arwen can carry Frodo, but never got the chance to before Frodo left for Valinor
Elrond can carry Frodo 
Celebrian can carry Frodo
Damn near anyone can carry Frodo, he’s so gentle and trusting (it gives Sam heart attacks on a regular basis)
On the contrary, Sam would rather die than be picked up by most people. Even with people he really trusts, he’d rather just... not. He likes to be a caretaker, not a caretakee. 
Eomer can carry Merry and Pippin, but doesn’t feel the need to most times. They’d let him, he just never has.
If I had to rank the hobbits by how much they like being picked up from most to least it would probably be frodo-bilbo-merry-pippin-sam
Fredegar Bolger doesn’t like being held by Big People bc trauma but he’ll let Gandalf hug him

Estella: Merry and I are no longer dating. Merry: Estella that's a horrible way of telling people we're married. Fredegar: (only heard the first part) DO I NEED TO KILL HIM Estella: NO DON'T
(Inspired by this post.)

tolkien south asian week day six | hobbits ♦ subplots | a conspiracy of friends | @arwenindomiel​
‘Well, as I was saying,’ Merry proceeded, ‘I kept my knowledge to myself, till this Spring when things got serious. Then we formed our conspiracy; and as we were serious, too, and meant business, we have not been too scrupulous. [...] You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin - to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours - closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the Ring. We are horribly afraid - but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.’

I think Warner should make the next round of Tolkien movies entirely about characters who got cut from the PJ films. Like, a B-team Fellowship of Fatty Bolger, Glorfindel, Beregond, and Tommy Bombadil.

“Freddy Bolger, on the Hobbit Scale, how would you rate your adventure? Was it excellent, good, fair, poor, or very poor?” “All things considered, definitely poor.”

'If you mean the old bogey-stories Fatty's nurses used to tell him, about goblins and wolves and things of that sort, I should say no. At any rate I don't believe them. But the forest is queer. (...)'

Friendly reminder that Merry knew about the Ring before Bilbo even left. Friendly reminder that all of Frodo’s hobbit friends were spying on him through Sam to make sure that he was alright and that he wasn’t going to leave without saying goodbye. Friendly reminder that Merry and Pippin knew about the Ring and its importance to the Enemy and still decided to go with Frodo. Friendly reminder that Frodo wasn’t going to ask them to leave the Shire. Friendly reminder that Fredegar Bolger was one of Frodo’s close friends and knew about the Ring as well, but stayed behind in order to keep Frodo’s disappearance a secret for as long as possible.

What your favorite LOTR character says about you
Some of these are only from the books, sorry about that. 
Update 6/5/22: Added Theoden and Eomer. 
Frodo: You’re depressed, homosexual, traumatized, highly empathetic, or some combination of the above. 
Sam: Loyalty, friendship, generosity, and love all give you feels. You love a man who can cook. Himbos are your favorite genre of male.
Merry: You’re an older sibling yourself. You might also like swimming or boating (remember, he lived on the river in the books). 
Pippin: You like adventure, tomfoolery, and shenanigans. You probably use humor as a coping mechanism. 
Fredegar Bolger: You’ve probably been through some shit yourself. You’re a major critic of the Peter Jackson adaptations. You like food and think Saruman was a more effective villain than Sauron. 
Bilbo: You’re gay. Or you’re smack in the middle of your yaoi phase. Or you only ever liked those YA books with a “sassy” male protagonist.
Aragorn: You have a crush on him. Either that, or your favorite scenes in books/shows/movies were the fight scenes. Or you like roleplaying as a mighty warrior. 
Arwen: You want Elrond to parent you, or you have a crush on Aragorn, one of the two. Or you’re a lesbian with a crush on her.
Legolas: You have an elf kink. You also like fight scenes. You like long blond hair, himbos, and/or twunks. You have a mixed opinion of the Peter Jackson adaptations. You’re either a straight female or a homosexual male.
Gimli: You loved the Hobbit, and were overjoyed to see Gloin come back in LOTR. Chivalry brings you joy. Dwarves are your favorite race in ME. You probably collect jewelry, or crystals, or dice, or something else shiny. 
Boromir: You like people who can put their people above themselves. You’re probably a little too into activism. Selflessness is very appealing to you. You might also be an older sibling. 
Gandalf: You like smart guys. Younger you made edits highlighting the “sassiness” of your favorite character. Maybe you still do it now. You probably have granddaddy issues. 
Eowyn: You either want women to sit on your face (straight male), you’re an insufferable feminist (female) or both (lesbian). Either that, or you’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts yourself and empathize.
Faramir: Gentleness gets you going. You want a lover who’s as troubled as you are. You may have daddy/mommy issues yourself. You don’t like the PJ adaptations much. 
Eomer: You’re a horsegirl yourself. If not in reality, then in spirit. Protectiveness makes you weak. You might have a crush on Arwen, too.
Elrond: You don’t get enough hugs. You just want someone to hold you tight and not let go. 
Elladan and Elrohir: You like Shenanigans. You wish Elrond was your dad. You like making headcanons for background characters. 
Galadriel: You prefer the Silmarillion to LOTR. You also might be a lesbian. Either way, you crave being mothered. Similar to the Elrond lovers, if someone gave you a hug, you’d start ugly crying. 
Tom Bombadil: You don’t like the PJ movies. You really like cottagecore. Your life goal is to own a little farm and grow all your own food. You probably made friends with trees as a kid. You enjoy singing and dancing, but you were never classically trained in either. You also like to party. 
Radagast: You’re an animal lover through and through. You love dirt. You don’t mind stink as long as it’s a natural stink. You may be a vegetarian or a vegan. 
Haldir: You have a love/hate relationship with the PJ movies. You probably think he’s attractive. You might be an older sibling yourself, or you wish you had one. 
Rumil or Orophin: Same as Haldir, basically. You love your siblings.
Theoden: You want to be fathered. Bad. You also loved the Silmarillion, for its tragedy. The idea of rebirth is something you love. 
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins: You like to make mountains out of molehills. You love a redemption arc. You wish the fandom would just stop bullying her. 
Saruman: You love a bastardization arc. Powerful men get you going. 
Grima Wormtongue: You love pathetic, problematic little men. You probably unironically listen to Weezer. 
Sauron: If you’ve read the Silm, you’re probably either gay or just love an evil twink. If you haven’t read the Silm, I fear you on a deep, personal level.

In Marvel comics, Mjolnir has an inscription that says "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." How the hammer deems someone "worthy" is of course a matter of some debate and the plot of many a comic.

'I shan't call it the end, till we've cleared up the mess,' said Sam gloomily. 'And that'll take a lot of time and work.'
*  *  *
The clearing up certainly needed a lot of work, but it took less time than Sam had feared. The day after the battle Frodo rode to Michel Delving and released the prisoners from the Lockholes. One of the first that they found was poor Fredegar Bolger, Fatty no longer. He had been taken when the ruffians smoked out a band of rebels that he led from their hidings up in the Brockenbores by the hills of Scary. 'You would have done better to come with us after all, poor old Fredegar!' said Pippin, as they carried him out too weak to walk. He opened an eye and tried gallantly to smile. 'Who's this young giant with the loud voice?' he whispered. 'Not little Pippin! What's your size in hats now?'
Has anyone written the tale of Fredegar Bolger's heroic band of rebels, smoked out of the Brockenbores by the hills of Scary?

prideboards ♡ aroace fatty bolger ♡ art from this picrew ♡ for @lyndeth-halfelven
Fond as he was of Frodo, Fatty Bolger had no desire to leave the Shire, nor to see what lay outside it. His family came from the Eastfarthing, from Budgeford in Bridgefields in fact, but he had never been over the Brandywine Bridge. His task, according to the original plans of the conspirators, was to stay behind and deal with inquisitive folk, and to keep up as long as possible the pretence that Mr. Baggins was still living at Crickhollow. He had even brought along some old clothes of Frodo’s to help him in playing the part. They little thought how dangerous that part might prove.
