One of my fav things about Gandalf is, he can & canonically does Full Name hobbits when he’s angry like he’s their mum or something
important follow up Qs:
1) does it frustrate Gandalf that he can’t do this to Bilbo & Frodo with the same impact bcos they don’t have nicknames
2) does he do it to non hobbits
Gandalf, in the distance: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN
Aragorn: oh shit I’m in trouble
May I also bring up the scene in The Two Towers where Legolas sees eyes in the woods and starts riding back, and Gandalf calls him back with a “STAY, LEGOLAS GREENLEAF!”
He really does it to non-hobbits too. He’s canonically done it to an elf.
I completely forgot that & thank you for confirming it’s canon
The more ‘son of’s he adds, the angrier he is
“LEGOLAS GREENLEAF, YOU SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND LEAVE THOSE TREES ALONE OR SO HELP ME”
if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.
