So Meg and I were chatting on Discord the other day and came to a realization:

Hey! now! Come hoy now! Whither do you wander?

Up, down, near or far, here, there or yonder?

Sharp-ears, Wise-nose, Swish-tail and Bumpkin,

White-socks my little lad, and old Fatty Lumpkin!

This is the rhyme that Tom sings when he’s looking for the ponies. The first five of them are Merry’s ponies: presumably one for each of the hobbits to ride, and one more for the baggage. (The last is Tom’s own pony.) And Meg noticed a surprising parallel between the ponies’ names and the hobbits:

Sharp-ears = Merry

Throughout the story, Merry is shown to be the one with the best head for details. He’s “sharp”, if you will; observant and intelligent.

EDIT: Merry is also the one who spies on Bilbo and Frodo to learn about the Ring! He’s got very “sharp” ears, and eyes too.

Wise-nose = Frodo

This is the easiest one. Frodo’s name means “wise” or “wisdom”, so this pony fits him well.

Swish-tail = Pippin

Tell me whose vibe fits Swish-tail better than Pippin. That’s right; you can’t. The name conjures a picture of careless jollity, which couldn’t be more Pippin.

Bumpkin = Sam

A “bumpkin” is defined as “an unsophisticated or socially awkward person from the countryside”. As much as I would be the last person in the world to call Sam a backwards yokel, he is nonetheless the most “country” of the four hobbits, and his name literally means “half-wise”, or “lacking wisdom”.

That leaves White-socks to be the baggage pony, which likely doesn’t have much significance (aside from the fact that he’s an outlier because hobbits don’t wear socks).

We’re not sure there’s any particular point to this. We’re also not sure whether or not Tolkien did it on purpose. But either way, it’s a fun thing to think about!

grace should i start the dog anime. i forget what the “bs” part of bsd means but i’m there’s a dog. anyways would i enjoy it

i hate to break it to you but there aren't really any dogs,, anyway bungou stray dogs is a wild ride and a half umm if you like 1. gay themes barely disguised as subtext and 2. wild plotlines that don't always make sense but are fun and 3. deathbaiting then YES bsd is the show for you!!!

#i do recommend it it rewired my entire brain chemistry but also i dont like recommending my favorite things to friends #bc what if they don't like it? :( #it is actually so much fun and also occasionally emotionally devastating. it's a great time!! #just. um. don't expect too much from the fandom #meg tag #asks

Potential request idea: 😭😭 Steve Harrington realizing he's in love with you only after you've been hurt trying to save him-

mmm yes steve angst

i always open every one of my steve fics with this: he is a dumb ass. grade a, pure and certified dumb-ass

because his feelings have been there longer than he realises. it's just with nancy right there and everything going fucking mental around him he never really takes a step back to think about why you're always on his mind and why he only ever wants to spend time with you

just pals bein' pals

it's not until, like u said, you do something fucking ridiculous and throw yourself in front of a demogorgon for him or some shit and he's just like :o

fuck!!

honestly at first he thinks he's done fucked up because there's a hot second where everyone thinks you're dead after being dragged back from the upside down

it's not until lucas pours cold water over you that you jolt awake - alive, but bruised and a little bloody

steve, overcome by the sudden realisation that he is hopelessly in love with you, ushers everyone away so he can patch you up

his brain is working at a thousand miles an hour; on one hand, he's the very opposite of the doctor and has fuck all idea what he's doing and on the other hand, he's going over every one of your interactions from the last two/three years in his head for even a sign that you might love him back

one would think that you RISKING YOUR LIFE for him is a fucking big arse obvious one but again...dumb ass

"you risked your life for me," he's murmuring, "that's such a dumb move. why'd you do that?"

he takes your hands in his and presses a soft kiss to your palm

"you know i love you, right?"

"yeah steve, i know. i love you too."

you've said it before as friends, so his declaration is nothing new

but it's not til you're bundled up in one of his hoodies, passed out beside later that night that he softly says "no, i really, really love you"

Imagine the REUNION SCENE when Pippin rode up to Tookborough to gather the troops- his dad and mom and sisters and cousins and various relations just like "Pip is that you? You're enormous where have you been?" I love imagining it. ~meg

ROFL oh heck yeah that must have been a TRIP. Imagine that your teenage son fecks off into the wild blue yonder with a few of his friends, completely unexpectedly, telling no one where he’s going or how long he’s gonna be gone, and a few weeks turns into a few months turns into a year and everyone around you thinks he’s dead, and right when your whole world has gone to crap and you’re starting to lose hope that you’ll ever see him again he rocks up on a pony in the dead of night and he’s like A WHOLE FOOT TALLER and wearing armor and strange foreign clothes and he’s like “ey yo we’re throwing a rebellion, wanna come??”

No wonder Pip didn’t join the others again until the next morning, his mom and dad probably hogtied him to a chair and didn’t let him go until he had explained EVERYTHING. 🤣🤣

when u get this u have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool!) 🌟

[ID: the same ask, sent by @aromanticmara End ID]

i will not lie to you guys i think i have two of this exact ask buried in my inbox from over a year ago bc i did not know how to answer. but let's see

my writing. 'don't reduce yourself to what you create blah blah blah' i literally don't care. i spent four years getting a useless creative writing degree so my writing had better be at least halfway decent.

my hair

i'm nice to people

i'm pretty good at witty comebacks and that's fun

my freckles are very nice

#only doing this once bc i had enough trouble thinking of five things. i had to make corey come up with number 5 #also not sending this to anyone bc idk who has and has not done it #this has been in my drafts for several days now #neta tag #meg tag #ask game #asks

potential request if you please 😘😘 where Eddie Munson is your friend and when your car breaks down he jumps at the chance to offer you rides because he lowkey has feelings for you and perhaps,,,, those feelings get confessed ? 👀 And he gives you a little kith (or not, I trust your artistic judgement)

hi meg i love u meg

eddie is the kind of guy who will go out at any time of night to come collect you if you tell him about your car. obviously this is the 1980s so you can't even casually hit him up, you gotta trek down the weird hawkins back roads to a diner to use their phone and he drives there to pick you up

it's even worse that it's late at night and raining and by the time eddie gets to you, you're drenched to the bone and there is mud up your jeans

for a second he's mad at you for walking in the dark by yourself but when he realises you were actually being really sensible he calms down a bit

eddie isn't an over-protective guy by nature. it's just that he's high key completely in love with you and the idea of you walking in the dark alone at night is not something that sits well with you

he just makes a joke about it though bc when is he ever all that serious?? he's just like it's almost like you're trying to get caught up with the weird demons

eddie takes you back to the trailer bc it's closer to the diner than your house; plus it's late as hell and raining cats & dogs and you're already tired

he gives you some clean clothes - that smell low-key of tobacco, and his everyday scent and just quintessentially eddie - and you pass out beside him on the sofa under a blanket, head lulled against his shoulder

it's bad news for your car tho. it's gonna be expensive to fix and you won't have the money for a while

naturally, eddie is super happy to drive you anywhere and everywhere - to and from work, to and from the various calls you get from steve where he's all help dustin disappeared and i think max is possessed and mike is asking for me girl advice and nancy is right there and i can't say "keep whoever you're in love with AWAY FROM JONATHAN BYERS" whilst she's here

at first, it's just pure fun. you'll throw some tapes on and sing along loudly to whatever eddie is playing and honestly?? you just look forward to those short journeys you're spending together

then one day a guy from work asks you out to the movies and you say yes - you're not gonna ask eddie for a lift bc a) you're not about to tell the guy you probably like that you're going on a date and b) it's a re-run of return of the jedi and you can't be arsed to hear his 20 minute rant on whether or not you can domesticate ewoks

but the date goes terribly and you leave halfway through because this guy is just fucking weird and clearly only wants for one thing so you use the theatre's phone to call eddie and he's there in a flash

and when he sees you stood outside in the rain looking defeated as fuck it breaks his heart

you explain what went wrong: the guy was handsy and weird and creepy and this is your fourth bad date in two months and when you say that you might be the problem, eddie near enough stops the car right there and then

"you're not the problem. they're all the problem. you're amazing."

that's when the atmosphere kind of shifts and eddie decides that it's now or never because it's dark and raining and goddamit you're wearing his jacket

"i like you. i've always liked you. i think i like you now more than ever and i really want to kiss you"

eddie rambles. eddie always fucking rambles but hell, this is the one time you're not gonna stop him

he almost gets a little shy when you say "so why haven't you kissed me yet then?"

eddie is gentle. way gentler than you thought, and it takes him a minute to find his footing because he is literally shaking

but when he does work it out, with one hand on the back of your neck and the other on your thigh, thumb rubbing circles into your leg as he softly kisses you??

hell you would have cut your brake cables years ago if your car breaking down was all it took

🐝 won't you, please, let me go :)

There’s a room somewhere in Paris that people say is haunted. It’s the ghost of a poet who died in June and if you come into the room with flowers you’ll come out with a splash of ink on your skin. There’s another haunted room, elsewhere in Paris, and doubly plagued. There are two men in there, and they never leave each other’s sides, and they’ll make sure you see them clearly if you don’t believe they’re there. There are also several haunted streets. A man in a scarlet coat and a doctor with three bayonets in his chest and a gamin with a sharp little grin reside in those. There’s a simple path that takes the streets and goes between the rooms. M. Marius Pontmercy walks it every day.

Or, the ghosts of Les Amis have a message for the lone survivor.
