Watch the hobbits, he said. It’ll be fun, he said.
Tap for better quality
I dearly want to point out that this was made before I figured out how to change the quality on ProCreate, so yes…..it does look quite boxy, but you will have to live with it.

Post-Erebor
In which Bilbo needs some time for himself (highly likely with Thorin ;)) and Raewyn has to babysit Frodo, who proceeds to invite Merry and Pippin. Kili is not allowed to laugh or he has to sleep outside.
He laughs regardless.

Now after Gandalf had ridden for some time the light of day grew in the sky, and Pippin roused himself and looked up. To his left lay a sea of mist, rising to a bleak shadow in the East; but to his right great mountains reared their heads, ranging from the West to a steep and sudden end, as if in the making of the land the River had burst through a great barrier, carving out a mighty valley to be a land of battle and debate in times to come. And there where the White Mountains of Ered Nimrais came to their end he saw, as Gandalf had promised, the dark mass of Mount Mindolluin, the deep purple shadows of its high glens, and its tall face whitening in the rising day. And upon its out-thrust knee was the Guarded City, with its seven walls of stone so strong and old that it seemed to have been not builded but carven by giants out of the bones of the earth.
Even as Pippin gazed in wonder the walls passed from looming grey to white, blushing faintly in the dawn; and suddenly the sun climbed over the eastern shadow and sent forth a shaft that smote the face of the City. Then Pippin cried aloud, for the Tower of Ecthelion, standing high within the topmost walls’ shone out against the sky, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver, tall and fair and shapely, and its pinnacle glittered as if it were wrought of crystals; and white banners broke and fluttered from the battlements in the morning breeze and high and far he heard a clear ringing as of silver trumpets.
So Gandalf and Peregrin rode to the Great Gate of the Men of Gondor at the rising of the sun, and its iron doors rolled back before them.

“What are you going to do then?”
“Knock on the doors with your head Peregrin Took.”
“Jump over it Peregrin Took.”
“this is a serious journey not a hobbit walking party. Throw yourself in next time.”
hot take: Pippin is the only one of the hobbits who is ‘team Arwen’ in the ‘who is the most beautiful woman in the world’ argument
Pippin, after being formally introduced to Arwen for the first time: hey Merry. do you think if I asked nicely enough she’d marry me instead?
Merry:Pippin. *lays a comforting hand on his shoulder*
Merry:I think it is worth a shot.
Pippin:got it *wanders away*
Frodo:why would you do that
Merry:I want to see if he’ll really try it
#PIPPIN: IF I BEAT STRIDER IN ROCK PAPER SCISSORS CAN I MARRY YOU INSTEAD?#ARWEN: UHHHHHHH#PIPPIN: GREAT! BRB
Aragorn accepts the challenge knowing full well that, as he can literally read minds, it is impossible to beat him at rock paper scissors.
Aren’t you forgetting the minor detail that Pippin would likely never think of which one he will throw?
consider: Aragorn accepts the challenge assuming he’ll win easily. Pippin wins immediately.
Arwen:well, now I must marry him. we ageed.
Pippin::D
Aragorn:Arwen please
Arwen:I love my tiny fiance
I love it
Elrond:I don’t like it either but you agreed that if he beat you in fair combat then he could marry Arwen
Elrond:so now my daughter must marry this hobbit
Arwen:I’m comfortable with that
Aragorn:please this isn’t funny
Arwen:you should have thought of that before you accepted the challenge, I’m engaged to Pippin now.
Pippin:listen I know this isn’t actually going to end with me marrying you but this is still the best day of my life so far
What if… Elrond was like “Well fair’s fair. I said Aragorn couldn’t marry Arwen until he became king of Gondor and Arnor, so if Pippin wants to marry her he has to do that too.”
Pippin: Rock paper scissors, winner gets to be king? :)
Aragorn: I am… NOT doing that
Pippin: fair.
This is my favorite thing in the entire world right now
Recently I decided to finally play the Lego Lord of the Rings game and it put me in quite the Tolkien mood. I’m currently rewatching the making-of specials of the movies and it all brings back so many memories…
As a kid I always loved the part about Fangorn Forest, so here’s a little fanart!
