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
“ARAGORN, SON OF ARATHORN, SON OF ARADOR, SON OF ARGONUI, SON OF ARATHORN, SON OF ARASSUIL, SON OF ARAHAD, SON OF ARAVORN, SON OF ARAGOST, SON OF ARAHAD , SON OF ARAGLAS, SON OF ARAGORN, SON OF ARAVIR, SON OF ARANUIR, SON OF ARAHAEL, SON OF ARANARTH, SON OF ARVEDUI, SON OF ARAPHANT, SON OF ARAVAL, SON OF ARVELEG, SON OF ARVEGIL, SON OF ARGELEB, SON OF ARAPHOR, SON OF ARVELEG, SON OF ARGELEB, SON OF MALVEGIL, SON OF CELEBRINDOR, SON OF MALLOR, SON OF BELEG, SON OF AMLAITH, SON OF EARENDUR, SON OF ELENDUR, SON OF VALANDUR, SON OF TARONDOR, SON OF TARCIL, SON OF ARANTAR, SON OF ELDACAR, SON OF VALANDIL, SON OF ISILDUR”
Aragorn: “o fuck”
Gimli: “he coulda just said Aragorn, son of a bitch.”
… i am going to go ahead and assume you knew all of that off the top of your head because it amuses me to do so
