modern lotr character headcanons

characters included: aragorn, boromir, gimli, legolas, pippin, merry, frodo, sam, arwen, eomer, eowyn

word count: 745

summary: random thoughts abt lotr characters if they lived in modern times

a/n: this is literally just silly shit, enjoy

boromir listens to old country (conway twitty, george jones, loretta lynn, etc.) and does not tolerate anyone insulting the opry legends

he also listens to divorced dad rock (hinder, nickelback, theory of a dead man, etc.) which gimli will sometimes jam to as well

gimli lovingly maintains an old-as-dirt bench seat ford truck despite there almost constantly being something wrong with it. ignores legolas’s badgering about him getting something more reliable

obviously legolas drives a hybrid and he almost acts as if this fact makes him better than gimli (not in a dickish way, though)

horse girl aragorn.

frodo is the epitome of shy emo boy with the black skinny jeans & death cab for cutie playing in his air pods

merry is the golden retriever in the “golden retriever in love with the black cat” trope

aragorn and arwen host game nights and various other parties for their friends, but neither of them can cook so they just order delivery (or sam hijacks their kitchen for the hours before)

pippin has a large follower base on social media bc of his drinking songs and other inebriated antics that are usually recorded by whoever happens to be with him that night. usually it’s eowyn & merry, and the three of them will shake some major ass to megan thee stallion

sam goes to open mic nights at local coffee shops to people watch. he will never perform himself, but it’s nice to watch people he knows do their thing

eomer accidentally goes viral on tiktok when eowyn records him doing some dumb shit. never lives it down

the amount of joy gimli gets from going to rage rooms is almost alarming

arwen has a very thorough skin care regimen that she introduces to aragorn, and it becomes a sweet nightly routine for the two of them

eowyn & eomer don’t allow anyone to talk shit about or annoy the other bc that’s their job fuck you very much

frodo has a shitty immune system but sam’s homemade soups seem to always heal from the soul outward

sam is the little spoon favored by the resident neurodivergent

frodo is the resident neurodivergent

yes they’re dating

arwen is always the dd

when it comes to birthdays, don’t ask boromir to remember anyone but faramir’s. hell, he forgets his own birthday sometimes

legolas is the best at remembering the birthdays of his friends but forgets his own

they have to remind each other of their own birthdays when that time of year comes around

merry is always the favorite audience member at a drag show

arwen & eowyn never dress like they’re going to the same place when they hang out

gimli says southern grandpa idioms unironically — “as useless as a screen door on a submarine”, “higher than eagle titties”, “busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest”, you get the idea. merry keeps a running tab of said quotes

boromir is the “we’re not getting a dog” dad. said dog ends up being his best friend & the sole inheritor in his will, fuck them kids

aragorn & gimli have their own moonshine still they think is perfectly hidden from everyone

that does not include merry & pippin, who are booze bloodhounds and immediately knew where to find it but swore to secrecy as long as they got more than everyone else

frodo sips fruity little drinks because he can’t shoot whiskey

sam can drink in the way only a divorced middle-age man can despite not being a divorced middle-aged man

eowyn cannot drive for shit & the several dents on her car prove it. the only reason her insurance hasn’t gone up astronomically is because she just. doesn’t report any of it

said car has a fuck ton of bumper stickers with all sorts of silly things

gimli can’t ride a bike AT ALL but has a motorcycle, make it make sense

he goes on bike rides with eomer when they have the time & the weather is nice

merry & pippin are two halves of a whole idiot at every given moment

eomer LOVES 90s and 00s country music but is kinda picky about newer country (he is a massive fan of cody johnson but will throw you through a wall if you talk about morgan wallen in his presence)

arwen dances in the rain & literally never gets sick from it. merry is insanely jealous of this fact

frodo’s favorite video game is animal crossing: new horizons & has very sound opinions on what villagers are the best (fuck you, rodney)

Please, can you spare some headcanons of the Fellowship and mate?

Sure! I would love to :)

This is going to get long, because i have a lot of ideas about this, but here i go:

First of all, i'm going to share the possible place i'm imagining for yerba mate in the cultures of Middle Earth

In real life, the plant was discovered by south american indigenous people ( in particular, the guarani tribe). Traditions about mate can variate from country to country, so for this i'm using what i know about mine.

From the start of colonial times the drink was associated with rural life. Iconografical traditions link it to gauchos, errant people of the time. Gauchos were social outcasts in the colonial system, often suspected, and their habits seen as barbaric. Often compared to american cowboys, they had a similar bad reputation attributing them a fame of being bandits.

In Middle Earth, Rangers are their closest equivalent. When we see Aragorn as Strider in The Prancing Poney, the negative reactions to his presence in Bree show his fame falling under a similar stereotype. The critics to the errant habits of rangers resemble the opinions on gauchos in colonial times. For so, i like to imagine mate exists as a drink associated with rangers.

How they adopted its consumption is another issue. I have two possible theories about that:

1- They just happen to know of the plant's existence and usefull propieties, as it happens with many other plants some of them know and other populations of men don't ( for example, aragorn knowing of athelas)

2 - They get it on the borders of some distant lands on their areas of patrolling.

I like second one better because that allows me to imagine a fictional indigenous population living somewhere in Middle Earth, inspired on the original discoverers of the plant.

About its name, " yerba mate" is a post colonization spanish term. Guaranies call the herb " Caà" and the bebreage " Caà-mate". The word mate comes from quechua (mati) and it is the name of the container filled with herbs and water to consumption. Instead of imagining a translation to an existent Tolkien language ( i have no idea of how to translate it), i would like to keep the Indigenous name.

So, the herb would be called Caà. Since most of the time only rangers are seen drinking the infusion from its leaves, in the other populations of Middle Earth it could be called" Herb of the Rangers" ( a good, equivalent translation to the spanish "yerba mate", since yerba means herb on spanish)

Now i can finally get into the topic of the Fellowship and Mate:

Following my contextual explanation, it's most likely Aragorn introduces everyone else to it. Prior to the journey of the Fellowship Legolas and Gandalf surely have drank it with him as well.

I can imagine Legolas not only enjoying it, but experimenting with it. He would do the middle earth version of what we call " mate con yuyos", that pretty much consists in creating herbal mixes with a base of the original herb. Given that he comes from a woodland realm, i bet he would come up with unique mixes using elvish herbs.

Gandalf got used to it in the same way he adopted the uses of many other populations he has interacted with. Unlike the pipeweed smoking, he wouldn't seek to also do it alone. Mostly drinks if Aragorn is drinking it.

This drink is an excelent appetite supresor, specially for when you crave food but you shouldn't be eating.

I think that, in the context of the travel with the fellowship, Aragorn would offer it to the hobbits for the first time in a desperate attempt to help them control their constant food cravings.

He got enough of how annoying a hungry Pippin can be during the travel from Bree to Rivendel. At the first chance to make a fire he heated some water and started a round, knowing the hobbits would get curious and approach.

Expert drinkers know that the first sips don't taste as good, ( the taste gets balanced after a few) but not them. Aragorn told them this and then Merry tried to challenge Pippin into taking the first sip.

I imagine the drink would get good acceptance on the hobbits.

Frodo would prefer it when water is warmer, Merry would be the brave one wanting to try the strange mixes of Legolas. Pippin would prefer it sweetened and Sam has the " it may not be tea, but is not that bad" opinion. He was the most hesitant of the hobbits about trying it, but ended up asking Aragorn tons of details about the curious plant.

When offered to him for the first time, Gimli felt as if he was holding wet grass in a pot. Knowing the elf of the group likes that drink didn't inspired him much trust either, but he was greatly surprised. He loved it, prefers it strong and bitter when the leaves have an intense flavor.

Boromir has a neutral opinion. He may have heard of the drink before because Faramir has tried it from the pouring of one of his men in one of his ranger patrolling trips. However, his little brother would never drink it on Minas Tirith fearing Denethor may consider it a wild habit.

What he does enjoy peraphs a bit more than the drink itself is the ambient that the sharing on rounds creates, the social aspect. Talking about anything, sharing stories and stuff. The drinking environment cheers the spirits.

The best pourers in the Fellowship are Aragorn ( of course, lol) and Gandalf. One does it most of the time, the other agrees ocassionally

I like to imagine that whenever Gandalf pours the water, the drink tastes to each one of them according to their favorite preferences.

He is not wasting magic in that, of course, it's just that he is Gandalf. Everything he does turns out cooler.

Drinking paces are also an aspect of the sharing situation.

There is always someone who gets teased for talking too much and taking too long between sips while the water gets cold and the other drinkers are waiting. In each drinking group, it always happens. ( and most of the time i tend to be this person lol)

In the Fellowship, i guess this one would be Pippin. I think they have this hilariously contradictory situation where Pip sometimes gets teased for it, but when it happens to other for other reason ( like, for example, Frodo gets caught too focused on his thoughts with the thing half filled) no one says anything and he looks at everyone like " hey! Now someone else is taking too long"

In long travels where resourses are scarce the best option for them would be drying the wet leaves after finishing and save it for a new use. Usually Sam is the one who remembers to do this.

When the leaves are no longer usefull they can't just throw those because it could be a lead for enemies.

It occured to the hobbits that they could start burying the evidence. Merry and Pippin did it first, but Sam and Frodo found it a good idea.

I like to imagine that, somewhere in the way ( specially the warmer places) maybe a few plants grew with time to remember the Fellowship was there.

Another short LOTR comic I made, adapted from the chapter “Journey in the Dark” in Fellowship of the Ring.

I really felt Frodo’s homesickness in this passage, and the beginnings of his deep regret for how things are unfolding as well as what will never be again. Also love getting a glimpse of the friendship/allyship of Elves and Dwarves of old because of mithril, and of course had to sneak in Celebrimbor and Narvi. My favorite part of Rings of Power has been Khazad-dûm and the dwarves thriving (for ONCE!!)

samwise gamgee headcanons:

enjoys doing the dishes and folding laundry

love language is quality time or acts of service

likes to give sprouts and seedlings to friends and neighbors

nerd about mushrooms and

keeps a hoard of ladybugs to deploy at any time

windowsill is lined with old jars and bottles, filled with clippings for propagation

he gives the best slices of pie and best baked cookies to others. will keep “defects” for himself- they taste just as good

favorite cookies are “everything but the kitchen sink” where he throws a bunch of stuff into the bowl (fruit, pretzels, nuts) and puts it into a cookie

has like 80 pillows on every couch/bed/chair

in addition to the 50-something blankets also piled high

“please, have a seat” he says. ha, no. any surface you could possibly settle onto is adorned with elaborate spreads of throws and such.

has a fruitcake that is legit an heirloom. it’s so stale it’s a brick. you can use it as a doorstop, stepping-stool, or a bludgeoning weapon. (note: has been used for all. he once chucked it at a late night visitor. this is how he learned frodo takes late walks at night. this is also how frodo learned that sam has an arm on him)

his great aunt made it forever ago and honestly he doesn’t know if it’s still good. he keeps it around because it’s been with him so long he feels bad throwing it out.

likes pecan pie! goes nuts (pun intended) for it.

roast his own chestnuts, pecans and walnuts. has a strange grudge against macadamia nuts. (almost choked on one as a child)

very cozy. has scarves and mittens and even slippers (GASP) at the ready

likes to watch the rain with a cup of tea for hours on end

takes his tea with honey, two sugars, and cream. it barely counts as tea.

enjoys bubble baths.

guerrilla gardening. sam is a force to be reckoned with on this front. he is a strong advocate for native plants and will gut someone over deforestation.

carries a salt shaker filled with seeds everywhere. kind of just. shakes it around empty plots of land.

has a hostile land grab once a month and slowly expands the baggin’s garden by an inch, until it takes up nearly the whole estate.

has a great misconception about the appropriate amount to discuss you garden with someone. this is because:

he tends to talk about this to frodo, who will listen, good naturedly

frodo also prevents anyone from talking over sam or changing the subject

most hobbits are to polite (passive aggressive) and don’t have the skills to subtly change the subject in a way sam understands

and if he does recognize the effort he will avoid it

likes to try new recipes but at the same time never follows them

knows a great deal about farming hemp. this is because merry and pippin recruited him into their pipeweed shenanigans and now sam has unintentionally created a strain of the good stuff that has hobbits traveling miles to get their hands on

loves his houseplants like children. they have names and backstory and a rich inner life that he has created that could fill a book

is fighting a battle with english ivy at the moment and only slightly loosing it. it’s suffocating the tree outside his house and he’s not very happy with it.

Late evening. Bilbo sits by the fireplace and reads a newspaper. Suddenly baby Frodo, who should have been asleep, runs out of his room.

Bilbo: What happened?

Frodo: *in tears* There is a huge spider in my room, I'm scared!

Bilbo: *rolls up the newspaper* You're a big boy, go deal with him yourself, here's a weapon for you.

Frodo: No! Please help me!

Bilbo: *sighs* Ok, let's go see your very big and scary spider.

In Frodo's room, the window is broken, and Shelob hangs above the ceiling, occupying almost the entire space.

Frodo: *huddles close to Bilbo and trembles*.

Bilbo: *swallows nervously* Well, newspaper won't be enough here.

Dwalin: Bilbo, Gandalf’s here with the cart. Where’s Frodo?

Bilbo: He’s asleep, it’s still nap time.

Dwalin: Then where’s Thorin?
