Can you just like do everyone in the fellowship of the ring for the character thing XD
Oh...boy. Lord of the Rings was a fandom where I deeply appreciated the canon more than did a lot of coming up with headcanons or personal takes and also that’s nine characters oh my god but I'll do my best XD
Frodo
Sexuality Headcanon: Hmm, demi bordering on aspec
Gender Headcanon: I admit I’ve never put much thought into the Fellowship but trans Frodo would be interesting
A ship I have with said character: Sam
A BROTP I have with said character: The hobbit quartet
A NOTP I have with said character: A dark part of me knows that Frodo/Gollum must exist and I respect those people and their right to get weird but I think reading it would break me
A random headcanon: Not even my headcanon but I am deeply tickled by the ‘Frodo doesn’t even know Legolas’s name’ theory from the movies
General Opinion over said character: I grew up with Tolkein and I love his protagonists. And I’m very into the subversive element of the Ring wearing even him down despite how long he endured it for. And he still gets a happy end despite of it!
Sam
Sexuality Headcanon: Demi and deeply devoted to Rosie and Frodo
Gender Headcanon: Cis
A ship I have with said character: Frodo but I respect the canon
A BROTP I have with said character:Bill the pony
A NOTP I have with said character: I’m just gonna reiterate the Gollum thing
A random headcanon: I want him to publish a gardening book that’s a breakout hit throughout Middle Earth but that is a bit indulgent
General Opinion over said character: Such a sweetheart really. Stalwart, loyal, and very badass about it.
Merry
Sexuality Headcanon: Bi
Gender Headcanon: cis
A ship I have with said character: None come to mind
A BROTP I have with said character: Eowyn. Okay also Pippin
A NOTP I have with said character: None come to mind
A random headcanon: He doesn’t enjoy the fireworks the way he used to anymore :(
General Opinion over said character: Dude helped kill the Witch King. He rocks.
Pippin
Sexuality Headcanon: pan
Gender Headcanon: trans
A ship I have with said character: None come to mind
A BROTP I have with said character: Merry
A NOTP I have with said character: None come to mind
A random headcanon: He and Merry visit Faramir and Eowyn a lot. This could even be in the book epilogue it’s been so long @_@
General Opinion over said character: Deeply chaotic little dude who grows a lot with the help of consequences and world saving trauma. He’s great.
Aragorn
Sexuality Headcanon: Arwen
Gender Headcanon: cis
A ship I have with said character: I’m fine with Arwen. The bb crush was cute
A BROTP I have with said character: Legolas and Gimli
A NOTP I have with said character: I never got into Aragorn/Legolas...
A random headcanon: Nothing specific but bb crush shenanigans is a cute concept
General Opinion over said character: Any time the guy with the most Chosen One traits is a supporting character and mentor is a good choice to me. Aragorn has his doubts and flaws and own narrative arc, but what he’s got going on doesn’t consume the narrative. It’s just a part of it!
Boromir
Sexuality Headcanon: just gonna slam my aroace emotions into this sad man
Gender Headcanon: cis
A ship I have with said character: Boromir/life ;_;
A BROTP I have with said character: I mean. He has a brother. Who misses him terribly. But admittedly also him and the hobbits.
A NOTP I have with said character: None comes to mind
A random headcanon: When he was able, he would delegate the delivery of good news to Faramir and he would deliver the bad, hoping to turn his father’s favor
General Opinion over said character: Heck yeah, give me all the tragic and doomed characters destroyed by their own nobility. Am I sad he is dead? Yes. Do I respect and appreciate the path his arc took? Also yes.
Gimli
Sexuality Headcanon: bi
Gender Headcanon: [insert a long and rambling discussion on how formative Discworld was and its relationship with dwarf gender and politics without ever actually answering the question]
A ship I have with said character: Legolas. What can I say, I like rivalry and contrast
A BROTP I have with said character: Aragorn
A NOTP I have with said character: None comes to mind
A random headcanon: All of the Discworld dwarf traits I can get away with
General Opinion over said character: How can you not like Gimli? Gruff but soft and swinging at every enemy kneecap in sight
Legolas
Sexuality Headcanon: pan
Gender Headcanon: gender neutral no matter what the Hobbit trilogy tried to pull
A ship I have with said character: Gimli
A BROTP I have with said character: Aragorn
A NOTP I have with said character: I guess also Aragorn
A random headcanon: All of the cat coded traits I can get away with
General Opinion over said character: I admit of the races I’ve always found elves less interesting but the woodland background and fratboy vibes are endearing
Gandalf
Sexuality Headcanon:Gandalf
Gender Headcanon: Gandalf
A ship I have with said character: Ga--he and Saruman have some of the narrative foil dynamic I would later deeply enjoy in a lot of my ships but I never got there with them in actuality
A BROTP I have with said character: Bilbo
A NOTP I have with said character:The flirtation with Galadriel in The Hobbit trilogy deeply weirded me out
A random headcanon: He came back in white to dunk on Saruman about the many colors thing. This might just be canon expressed in a really dumb way, it’s been a while
General Opinion over said character: He’s a cranky goodtimes cheerfully cryptic wizard, what’s not to like?
