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

I think when Gandalf is pissed with Hobbits he reverts to the extremely formal  Mister Baggins!

you’ve cracked it, that’s absolutely what he does

you know how mad he is based on how far back into your lineage he goes, consider:

Mild: Meriadoc Brandybuck! (last name only, you’ll probably live)

Mad: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN! (now your ancestors are involved, bad)

Murderous: THORIN, SON OF THRÁIN, SON OF THRÓR! (you are maybe about to meet your ancestors, via Gandalf… and not glorious battle)

i’ve gained a lot more affection for the lord of the rings movies since the hobbit “adaptation” because it gave us all a horrifying glimpse of just how much worse it could have been

used to get upset at all the changes and omissions in LOTR but now i’m just like “oh thank fuck this actually resembles the original story to some degree and communicates SOME of the themes moderately effectively every once in a while”
