Pointless LOTR headcanon of the day: Frodo & Merry both take after their mothers, meaning Frodo looks more like a Brandybuck than a Baggins and Merry looks more like a Took. This is a constant source of petty contention.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(Pippin meanwhile absolutely takes after his father & is the most Tookish looking)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Merry: call me a Took one more time<\/p>\n

Gandalf: if it looks like a Took and acts like a Took it\u2019s a Took<\/p>\n

Merry: I will END you<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gandalf is the only nonhobbit in the fellowship who understands the minutiae of Took Vs Brandybuck Vs Baggins rivalry & he delights in it, everyone else baffled<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Frodo: look it\u2019s perfectly simple. The Brandybucks don\u2019t like the Tooks because they play golf and think they\u2019re better than everyone because they occasionally go on adventures. The Tooks don\u2019t like the Brandybucks because they live on the wrong side of the river and like boats. And nobody likes the Bagginses because they\u2019re annoying.<\/p>\n

Aragorn: are you\u2026 Including yourself in that<\/p>\n

Frodo: I said what I said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Frodo: now the Bagginses don\u2019t like the Brandybucks OR the Tooks because they\u2019re highly disrepectable but also richer than they are. And as far as a lot of the Bagginses are concerned I\u2019m a Brandybuck because I grew up in Buckland and I have the Brandybuck Profile<\/p>\n

Merry: which just means he\u2019s not pug-ugly<\/p>\n

Frodo: quite.<\/p>\n

Aragorn: this is all ridiculous. Keep going.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gandalf: Hm now I wouldn\u2019t say UGLY but\u2026 every Baggins I\u2019ve ever met has been perfectly Round or perfectly Square\u2026 There is no middle ground.<\/p>\n

Gimli, baffled: Frodo isn\u2019t round OR square<\/p>\n

Merry: that\u2019s because he has the Brandybuck profile<\/p>\n

Gimli: so\u2026 Is he a Brandybuck\u2026<\/p>\n

Merry: ABSOLUTE not<\/p>\n

Frodo: slander!! I\u2019m a Baggins how dare you<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pippin: was your father a Round Baggins or a Square Baggins<\/p>\n

Frodo: my father\u2026 Was the ROUNDEST Baggins who ever lived\u2026 A perfect Sphere of hobbit\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gimli: What about your uncle. Is he round or square.<\/p>\n

Frodo: Please tell me you\u2019re kidding my uncle is the most Tookish Baggins to ever live and that includes physically<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bilbo \u2018looked\u2026 exactly like a second edition of his solid and comfortable father\u2019. He\u2019s a round Baggins imo<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Frodo: But then SOMEBODY *glare* nudged him out the door.So now he\u2019s a Took.<\/p>\n

Gandalf: *puffs innocently on his pipe*<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
