therapist: why do you refering to yourself as to "second breakfast"?

Me, using LOTR and LOTR fanfiction as an escape from that world: because I exist but Aragorn doesn't know about me

My Headcannons for Pets I Think The Fellowship Would Have

(these are based on nothing but Vibes and what i think would be fun. feel free to add your own)

Frodo- A common skink. My headcannon is that Sam almost ran over it in the garden, brought it in to show Frodo and they've been inseperable ever since. Frodo named it "Smaug" to mess with Bilbo, who pretends he hates it but is actually indifferent. Frodo likes to set Smaug on top of his head just to be distracting, especially when getting a lecture from his uncle or Lobelia.

Sam - Basset Hound. I feel like Sam thinks he's too busy to have pets, but is also a huge dog person. So when this mangy malnourished old hound dog shows up one day and starts following him around he's annoyed but like he can't not feed it? And build it a dog house, get it a collar, de-flea it, give it belly rubs....

Merry- i don't think this is particular to him but I just think the Brandybucks are the type of slightly unhinged people to have a huge half-feral fuzzy hellspawn of a cat hanging around their manor at all times. No one knows who it belonged to or where it came from (some say it was there before Brandy Hall) but the only people it will tolerate are Merry and his dad. Anyone else who tries to pet it will get their eyes clawed out, but Merry can pick it up and cuddle it like a teddy bear. The cat is unnamed and known only as "It".

Pippin - Pippin is considered too irresponsible to have a pet yet but after a lot of whining Paladin allows him to get a goldfish. Her name is Mary (not to be confused with Merry) and he pampers her as much as one can pamper a goldfish.

Gandalf- He'd have an owl. He just would. Harry Potter people Do Not chime in. The owl sits on his shoulder and makes the exact same faces as him. It also tries to eat his beard. Definately a gift from Radagast and it's name is some unpronounceable word in an ancient language.

Aragorn- Everyone knows Aragorn is a horse girl and nothing can touch his bond with Brego. But I also feel like at some point during his travels he's befriended four or five wild raccoons. They show up occasionally, with no prompting, and he feeds them and maybe heals them and they go on their way. This happens once during the "Three Hunters" portion of Two Towers but at that point Legolas and Gimli are so immune to Aragorn's weirdness they don't bat an eye.

Legolas - You can't convince me he hasn't befriended, raised and trained a 5 foot giant Mirkwood spider. It doesn't like the sun so of course he doesn't bring it on the quest, but for months the fellowship hears him make reference to how much he misses "FeeFee" or some other stupid name that sounds like a french poodle before someone finally asks about it and immediately regrets it.

Gimli - He would definately have a young mountain goat. I headcannon that bats and goats are as common pets to dwarves as dogs and cats are to humans. His goat is long haired and grayish white with curled horns, and likes to curl up next to him and recieve head scritches while he reads/relaxes.

Boromir - I definately feel like Boromir would be into falconry and has been since a young age. His falcon would be huge and intimidating and have a name like "Maximus" but it's also dumb as dirt and constantly getting lost. Denethor has offered to get him another bird a hundred times but Boromir is WAY too attatched to his to even consider it.

BONUS

Eowyn- She has a terrifying wolfhound named "Slayer" who is actually a huge sweetheart that loves everyone. Its the dynamic of scary dog/cute girl except the girl is actually the one to look out for.

Faramir- Cat person. I feel this in my bones. Faramir has at LEAST four cats and adores them all. The cats are all named after various Valar.

Bilbo - declaritively Not A Pet Person but one time he waged a week long battle against a mouse that was making nests out of his papers, and when he finally caught it he couldn't bare to put it out in the snow. It rides around in his vest pocket now and terrorizes Elrond, and has it's own "mini Bag End" made of matchbooks and other odds and ends. The mouse still remains unnamed because "once you name it you're attached".

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why.
