some of you are clearly forgetting your history... your hobbitstory, if i may... merry brandybuck is THE most organised, efficient, put-together little guy you could ever hope to meet and he is a brave, fierce friend. in lotr he:
notices bilbo seems to have a magic ring and observes him suspiciously for years
puts together the conspirators (merry, pippin, sam, fatty) who gather information about frodo and help him escape the shire quietly
no seriously he does all the planning, logistics, admin - all of it. and this helps them leave as quickly and sneakily as they do
literally follows the nazgul in bree?????? anyone else would run for the hills but our guy is out here snooping on the ringwraiths??
it's merry who focuses on the "speak friend and enter" part of the writing on the doors of moria
feels so wretched at being left behind in rohan while his friends are in danger that he goes against direct orders and sneaks off to war with "dernhelm" (eowyn) even though it scares the hell out of him
STABS THE WITCH KING DESPITE BEING UNDER THE BLACK BREATH
and then literally KEEPS WALKING AROUND. HE SHOULD BE DEAD AT THIS POINT BUT HE'S STILL GOING ON
is one of the main leaders of the uprising against the scouring of the shire and plans the strategy. he himself kills the leader of the ruffians
becomes the master of buckland and is honoured by both the king of rohan and the king of gondor. literal king shit!!!
