#hobbit name

[kindlythevoid]

Friendly reminder that Frodo named his pony Strider when he got back to the Shire. Friendly reminder that all the hobbits continued to call Aragorn “Strider” (at least on occasion) even after his coronation. Friendly reminder that Aragorn said that the name meant so much to him that he was going to make it his family name. Friendly reminder that the hobbits and Aragorn considered themselves close friends, even with everything going on. Friendly reminder that Merry and Pippin are buried with Aragorn.

#Pg. 336 for Frodo naming the pony strider #That’s all the pages I have right now #Trust my guys trust #The hobbits and Aragorn are best friends and it is my mission that everyone knows it #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #SHHEEP #aragorn #the hobbits #merry and pippin #frodo baggins #sam gamgee #meriadoc brandybuck #peregrin took

Tolkien: "...You are familiar with Thorin's style on important occasions, so I will not give you any more of it, thought he went on a good deal longer than this"

#literally his words #the hobbit #bilbo #thorin #bagginshield #lotr #ok but bilbo then immediately drops thorin's full name crossly in response #THORIN SON OF THRAIN SON OF THROR OAKENSHIELD IF YOU'RE SAYING IT'S MY JOB TO GO INTO THE SECRET PASSAGE FIRST THEN JUST SAY THAT #it's perfect #I rewatched all the movies and now i'm rereading the book and I love all the differences #this one in particular stood out like a sore thumb #thorin is actually a chatty cathy #there's pages on pages of just him monologuing at the start #gandalf tries to interrupt and thorin just straight up talks louder over the top of him #“getting him to shut up is the trick” #this is one of my original fandoms - I'll always love them #fun fact about me I have 22 different copies of the hobbit #love me a hobbit

Tolkien at the start of the Hobbit: oh I’m going to tell a fun little story for my children about how even the smallest people can make a difference!

Tolkien at the end of the Hobbit, gripping his son’s shoulders intensely: Chris. Christopher. Listen.  Greed will only corrupt you Christopher, it will twist your mind like a poison, like a disease, until you are nothing but a hollow wreck of what you once were.  Also I’ve killed off like half the characters in a battle I don’t even show sorry. 

#lotr #the hobbit #yes I know it wasn't only christopher consider I can't be bothered to look up his other children's names

[logicallyblind]

my absolute favourite favourite favourite trope in fanfic is when thorin is outwardly a grouchy, ill tempered scowling dwarf whom bilbo just silently watches from afar lamenting the fact that someone like That would never give someone like Him the time of day-

and then the perspective shifts to thorin and we get to just listen to this smitten fool plan out their wedding in extreme detail all while waxing poetry about the sunlight shining through bilbo’s curls in his mind i just,,

#I EAT THAT SHIT UP EVERY TIME #THORIN CALLING BILBO PET NAMES IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS OWN MIND??? HELL YES #THORIN ACCIDENTALLY SLIPPING UP AND SPEAKING ONE OF THEM ALOUD EITHER IN TIMES OF DURESS OR WHEN BILBO JUST LOOKED TOO PRETTY??? HAND IT OVE #I WOULD DIE FOR IT #idk what that trope is even called #but i love it dearly #the hobbit #lotr #thorin oakenshield #bagginshield #bilbo baggins #lord of the rings #thilbo #fanfic tropes

#honestly gandalf will se ANYONE #the fact that he has 11 names given to him by different people and races #and all of them are some variation of -guy who comes to start shit- #lord of the rings #gandalf #lotr #the hobbit #bilbo baggins #fellowship of the ring #frodo baggins

[thewitchkingiscool-ace]

OK SO I HAVE A THEORY

I’m like 100% sure that Aragorn and Thranduil don’t know each other’s names

In the two towers, when aragorn, gimli and legolas are surrounded by the riders of rohan, aragorn says “i am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is gimli, son of gloin, and Legolas…” …… “of the Woodland Realm.” He doesn’t know Legolas’s dad’s name. Could’ve just said “Legolas son of Thranduil”, that’s not even awkward to say!

And then at the end of botfa, Thranduil is talking to Legolas and he’s like “There is a young ranger amongst them. He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name……..” ……… “you must discover for yourself.” Just admit it, you two. You don’t know each other’s fucking names.

#aragorn #thranduil #legolas #gimli #lotr #they don’t know each other’s names #just say legolas son of thranduil it’s not that hard #the hobbit #SON OF THRANDUIL #HIS TRUE NAME IS ARAGORN #my god

i watched the hobbit !! it was… an experience…

#The Hobbit #Bilbo Baggins #Thorin Oakenshield #Bagginshield #? I GUESS #Fili #Kili #Thranduil #Bard the Bowman #<- LMAO WHY IS HE NAMED LIKE A SONIC CHARACTER???

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Idk man, what if Legolas was simply his sindarin name bc the light elves couldn’t pronounce his silvan name and Legolas just did not care enough to get them to pronounce his name correctly bc most light elves don’t even try.

Imagine:

Silvan elf: Lysrilahs!

Elladan: *looks left* *looks right* whomst?

Legolas: *nodding at the silvan* hi, what’s up?

*Legolas & silvan elf have a short discussion*

*elladan, elrohir, and arwen’s brain malfunctioning*

Arwen: what was that?

Legolas: oh, that’s my actual name. Yeah, most of the noldor and sindar i’ve met don’t even try to pronounce it right, so i’ve sindarized it to “legolas”.

Arwen:...

Elladan:...

Elrohir:...

Arwen: do you mean to tell me we’ve been friends for centuries and we didn’t even know your name!?!

[corvology]

the taxonomy section of the wikipedia article about things named after tolkien and his works is insane.

loving the crazy ass scientists who named an absurd amount of grass-miner moths after tolkien characters. there’s a STUPID amount of elves btw.

also,

there’s more. would you still love them if they were worms….

there’s way more including Shrimp Baggins Family, a bunch of attempts (some successful some not) to name wasps after elves, dwarves and hobbits and like one amoeba named after gimli but honestly just go look at it yourselves it’s SO funny

#arya talks #ohh the biologist in me is cackling this is hilarious #also in fruit flies the gene named smaug & the gene degrading it called bard…. absolutely hysterical. #jrr tolkien #the lord of the rings #the hobbit #the silmarillion #moths #worms #i’m not tagging every character sorry #taxonomy
