its september time to build a new life
Back to the Future (1985) dir. Robert Zemeckis
well my youtube ads seem to despise Michael Afton
tell me why i thought of that one sound
Bill, to all his younger siblings: Okay, tomorrow morning, 8am, Santa’s coming to town!
Charlie: SANTAAAAA! OH MY GOD!
People say “Hair holds memories”
UHM EXCUSE ME I CHOPPED ALL MY HAIR OFF AND IM STILL HAUNTED BY TRAUMA AND THAT CRINGE EMBARRASSING THING I DID 5 YEARS AGO
i don’t think reading the entirety of Deltora Quest as a kid was exactly my best decision because now as a teenager anytime i get a weird crawly, touchy or itchy feeling in my ear my immediate reaction is “IT’S THE EVIL BRAINWASHING WORMS!!¡¡!”
I did this on one of my old accounts that i ended up deleting for some reason, i don’t remember, but here. Back on my Lord Of The Rings BS, let’s gooooo. This’ll be the fellowship with everyone intact, no one is dead.
As always requests are open and let me know if you want more!
LOTR x GN! Reader, general headcanons for if you had to take care of them today, in 2023. Enjoy!
The ring most likely has no power in this dimension, so yay Frodo is free from torment!
Sam loves watching cooking, gardening and home renovation shows, and he gets very invested in the former two. You learn a lot you didn’t really need to know from his commentary
Once Pippin learns about pyjamas and fuzzy slippers he never goes back, you literally cannot get him out of them
Boromir and Aragorn, being human and coincidentally two of the most responsible members of the fellowship, are the easiest to take in public to the grocery store and such.
You can pass off the hobbits (if they cover their ears with their hair) as children, and Gimli is your friend with dwarfism.
Gandalf you can pass off as your grandfather, and Legolas looks pretty normal if you cover his ears.
Pippin is the type to bounce in his seat in the car and ask “Are we there yet?!” every 5 minutes
Frodo really likes to draw, especially when there’s so many cool places and movies to draw inspiration from.
Movie nights? No horrors. The hobbits are terrified by ‘em.
Movie nights are literally so difficult because they all have such different tastes
Merry really likes James Bond movies.
Pippin is obsessed with nail polish when you introduce him to it. Boromir gets his repainted every time the polish come off. His nails need serious help after a while
Pippin and Merry often start pillow fights, and drag everyone else into it
If you have space for a garden or plants in your home, Sam is on it. He finds it calming, so now you have some home grown plants :)
Taking the hobbits in public? Bad idea. You can trust Frodo and Sam, but Merry inevitably drags Pippin off to do something dumb and possibly dangerous.
Gandalf has an old man rocker. There is no discussion.
The hobbits do the classic “getting one sibling to ask for fast food because whoever’s in charge will say yes”, they get Frodo to do this because he has the best puppy dog face and he’s unsure about asking for things normally.
Pippin and Merry cannot handle too much caffeine or sugar or they go crazy
You thought Legolas’ hair was good before? He steals your hair care products and his hair is literally perfect.
(He’s also willing to do skincare with you, not that his face needs it. Again, flawless)
Game nights are so chaotic. You can’t play a lot of games since they don’t know what many things from this world are, so games like Trivia and Charades are off the table
Gimli and Legolas verse each other in video games, often enough it ends with Legolas winning and Gimli rage quitting
Aragorn is so responsible he’s literally the perfect man to do anything with, and he can hold the fort down if you need to leave
Pippin is so clingy, he trails you wherever you go and asks you random questions but it’s adorable
Boromir insists on carrying your stuff, bags of groceries, all that
Frodo often goes to the library to find new books to read, with you of course
There’s a whole debate on whether 3D or 2D animation is better, i would not get involved if i were you.
Pippin and Merry are also avid fans of quoting their favourite movies, once they see them
Legolas and Frodo are the best listeners, they will just sit there and not judge or try to give you advice they just. sit there. like the perfect men they are.
Legolas would have a meme for everything. Like any situation. You text him like “PIPPIN FELL DOWN SOME WELL WE DON’T EVEN HAVE A WELL HELP” and he just has a meme that fits the situation perfectly.
Frodo and Legolas would watch Avatar: The Last Airbender together because it’s their favourite show. Aragorn jumps in also.
Those three are also avid tea drinkers.
Boromir likes Game Of Thrones. I don’t know anything about it, he just does. Please confiscate Pippin while he does.
Pippin gasps dramatically whenever a plot twist surprises him.
Sam loves to cook, and he does a lot of cooking in the house once he arrives. You two just work together in the kitchen (if you can’t cook, he’ll teach you) and have nice sweet conversations
Legolas is great at doing people’s hair. If you ask him to, he’d probably agree, though he’d probably be a bit flustered as that is a courting ritual in his culture.
Ask Legolas to talk to you until you fall asleep. His voice is so heavenly istg-
The hobbits get sleepy when their hair is played with and it’s adorable
Won’t lie this hyperfixation came back then it circled back to TMNT and today i watched these films with my friend and now i’m back to LotR love. Most of this has been sitting in my drafts for a couple weeks.
Anyway, I think that’s about it from me, I hope you guys enjoy! :)
If you want to request, rules are pinned on my page! Let me know if you want a general part two or a set of modern headcanons for a specific character. I love LOTR in the modern world content so much.
Have a good day, and remember that you are loved!
could the universe just do me a solid and give me a guy to hug thank you jesus amen
I don’t think we talk enough about Marty McFly being a short king
Mans is 5’4, he deserves it.
Someone: How badly did you want to be Crysta as a child-
Me: Not much, i wanted to be best friends with her, not really be her
Someone: -I wasn’t finished, in this particular scene, how badly did you want to be her?
The scene:

Me: ….HOW BADLY DO YOU THINK-
My toxic trait is that everything i am revolves around the media piece im currently obsessed with
the silver lining is that often enough they cycle back around
the darkside is my friends have to hear me talk about Treasure Planet being the best masterpiece in the history of animation for the third time this year
My third TMNT rant of the day, but like it upsets me so much that Leonardo is told to be responsible for literally everything the others do
Like Splinter i love you but that’s kind of a jerk thing to do
In the 2k7 movie Leo’s getting reprimanded because the mission didn’t work out well and Leo’s like “i tried but Raph won’t listen to a thing i say” and Splinter’s like “that is your duty as the leader!”
LIKE WDYM ITS LEO’S RESPONSIBILITY? RAPH WAS THE ONE THAT GOT THEM INTO THAT FIGHT AFTER LEO TOLD HIM NOT TO?
And this causes tension between Leo and Raph because Leo’s been taught to manage his brothers and lead them to do it Splinter’s way, and Raph wants to control what he does so he rebels on missions, and then Leo gets in trouble for the mess, which makes him angry at Raph. You feel?
This mostly only happens on missions though, like otherwise Splinter’s being pretty fair with judgement.
TLDR; Splinter doesn’t parent right when he holds Leo accountable for his brother’s actions that were out of his control because they didn’t listen to him. And this causes issues between Raph and Leo.
I love how the TMNT 2012 boys react to getting their names as babies. Like it’s so funny and personality-typical. Like Splinter points to each one and he’s like:
Splinter: Donatello!
Baby Donnie: 🤔
Splinter: Michaelangelo!
Baby Mikey: 😛
Splinter: Raphael!
Baby Raph: 😈
Splinter: And Leonardo!
Baby Leo: 🥰
I SWEAR IT’S THE CUTEST THING-
Also the fact that Leo just flops on his face when he crawls over to the book is just SO ADORABLE LIKE AAAA-
ik i can’t just post randall continuously but shut up yes i can
but i just realised that aside from aging from MU to MI (like the wrinkles under his eyes, etc) two other things happened
First off, the spines on his head grew. In MU they were pretty short and rounded (that’s what she said), but in MI they’re really long and spindly (also what she said).
And second, his scales get a lot duller after the scare games final match incident. Like he was a slightly brighter purple shade at first, then he got a bit duller after he took off his glasses, and then after the scare games, he became really bitter and a lot duller in colour. I think that might be kinda showing that he isn’t really happy anymore? Or it could be an age thing. Idk maybe I’m just overthinking it. I’m so normal about him <3

Also please explain how his bone and muscle structure works I’m begging you
When you’re sad, write about you favourite childhood characters and most recent hyperfixation and cry over your work.
GN! reader, written as platonic, lets gooooo

Sweetheart is confused by the concept of depression
He asks why you’re sad, and whether or not you have a reason he’ll sit and listen to you
”Oh, bother.”
He’ll pat your back and offer to share his honey with you
Honestly, he’ll just sit there with you, and you feel kinda bad for bringing him down
But he’ll still tell you that you’re a friend, and friends are worth all of his time if they’re sad

Piglet 🩷
Oh he is so sad for you
”Oh d-dear! Is there anything I can do to help?!”
No matter what, you probably end up on his couch wrapped up in blankets with a nice drink and snack
He’ll reassure you that you’re no bother
Gives you a little notepad to vent your feelings
Will give you a lil hug if you start crying
You probably stay with him for a good while

Tigger 🧡
He’s so exuberant to see you, but your expression concerns him
“You uh- y’alright bud?”
He’s determined to cheer you up, cuz that is what Tiggers do best
When you tell him you aren’t gonna feel better anytime soon, you can see him physically droop
Flops himself on the ground next to you and points out interesting things around you both
Even if his jokes don’t make you smile, it does feel nice to have him there
If you’re okay with it, he’ll give you every hug in the whole wood

Eeyore 🩶
my bOYYY-
Okay, he gets you.
“I feel the same, most of the time.”
He’ll probably just lie there with you
On the ground
He might just lay his head on you for comfort, especially if you end up tearing up
Overall a good listener and very understanding, 72/10

Rabbit 🤍
Honestly doesnt get it
”Why not just cheer up? There’s more important things to be doing than just lying around.”
Exasperated when you say it’s not that simple
Explain it to him and he will get kinda better with it
”Can i…bring you anything?”
Will ring up someone else to comfort you but tries his best to understand.
Probably researches it to find methods to improve and how to help
Shows it to you if you want to see
Doesn’t really help much. but he’s trying :)

Kanga & Roo 🤎
THEY’RE SO SUPPORTIVE OML-
Open up their home so you can stay
Roo often asks if you wanna do things with him, like play games or go for walks
Kanga will leave you be, but comes up to your room with food, hugs and a listening ear
Roo will do things like give you plushies and read you stories, stuff his mum does when he’s down
Kanga is so calm when you talk about things
Patches you up if you get hurt
Essentially your family
1000000/10
Hope you enjoyed, feel free to request anything, and to those struggling, you’ve got this <3
In the mood to make myself cry, plus I’m in my ‘i was i wasn’t lonely’ phase of the night.
Pulled most of these from my notes app lmao, and i listened to each one while writing, I highly recommend giving them a listen!
GN! reader, mostly you/your used :) (Obviously some songs will involve specified gender, please correct as you need, and remember that these characters would absolutely make these changes as well)

Frodo Baggins - Hopelessly Devoted to You - Olivia Newton-John (Grease)
He definitely has the distinct memory of the classic slow burn moment of “Oh. Oh.” happening, where he realises just how much he loves you. He knew he was head over heels, and he looks at you like you hung the moon. And if you sing it to him- UGH😩💙. IN LOVE, HE SHALL BE. He probably hums it a lot when doing work or writing. Of course, the lyrics are quite relatable to him. Frodo has this internal belief that the person/people he love/s can’t love him nearly the amount he adores them. He was willing to sit around and wait on you, in the hopes that you would see him in the same way. His brain knew he should just move on, but he couldn’t let go, and he’s glad he didn’t. He’s so devoted to simply loving you.
“Hold on to the end, and that’s what I intend to do. I’m hopelessly devoted to you~”

(gotta appreciate that me looking up his name resulted in a bunch of po-tay-toes memes. anyway. back to the hcs)
Samwise Gamgee - Hello, Hello - Elton John ft Lady GaGa (Gnomeo & Juliet)
He’s a sucker for meet-cute stories, and would unironically love this movie, even setting aside this banger of a song. The moment he saw you, he felt captivated by your beauty, whether or not the meeting went well or if you fell on your face. The song is just so cheerful and wholesome. He probably told you that the song reminded him of you, and that sparked the romantic relationship. Every time this sequence plays he’ll just look at you (if/when you watch the movie). PLEASE SING THIS AS A DUET WITH HIM AAAA. (He isn’t Elton John, but his voice is lovely 🥰)
“Hello, hello (Hello, hello), my, my, my, what have we here?”

Peregrin Took - I’ll Be - Edwin McCain
Honestly it’s hard to explain this one. It’s just so soft and sweet and really describes how he feels about you. Also as the youngest and a, quoting Gandalf here, “fool of a Took!”, the line “and I’ll be, better when I’m older…” is just- MWAH. This song reminds me of him honestly. He is, as the song states, “your crying shoulder”, the “greatest fan of your life”. Everything about you takes his breath away. We all know he’s the best singer in the fellowship, and its just gorgeous to listen to him sing it, especially because he means every word. He also probably dedicated this to you early on in the relationship, and it was definitely your wedding song (if you got married).
“I’ll be, better when I’m older. I’ll be, the greatest fan of your life~”

(tumblr needs more Merry gifs istg-)
Meriadoc Brandybuck - Nothing - Bruno Major
Honestly you wouldn’t expect such a lowkey song for such a high energy guy, but he’s a sucker for lazy days and sweet moments. He’s, as he likes to say, ‘work-avoidant’, and just wants to spend all his time on you. He also finds the song easy to sing to you, so thats a plus. The lyrics just resonate with him, similar to my picks for Pippin and Frodo. He’s very competitive, but he honestly doesn’t mind losing to you. He pretends like romantic or soft movies don’t make him cry, even if they do. He gets the appeal of going out and drinking and laughing, but just staying at home with you just sounds so much nicer to him. Its all about the little things in life with him, the small moments, the laughs, and every ‘I love you’ that makes him feel lighter than air.
“Dumb conversations, we lose track of time. Have I told you lately? I’m grateful you’re mine~”

Aragorn - Dark Red - Steve Lacy
He knows how dangerous his work and life is, and he’s always had this fear of leaving you behind (hence the ‘something bad is ‘bout to happen to me’). He only sees you in his life, no matter who else is wanting for his attention, he’s so devoted to you. He only hopes that you’ll stay by his side and fight with him, and he’s not willing to give up on you. No, he refuses to give up when you are involved, and he fights so hard to keep you safe and protected. The song also is easy to mumble to you when he’s tired, and it’s soothing for him to listen to. It’s just a symbol of how much you mean in his life, and how he trusts you with his heart.
“Only you, babe, only you darlin’, only you~”

Legolas - Lover - Taylor Swift
Unabashed Swiftie in general, but this song just hits different. So first off he probably already called you his lover, and when he found the song he thought it was perfect. I can definitely see him learning guitar and playing this song for you as well. Into the actual song analysis, this song frames his want to be close to you, the mysterious way he was drawn to you, the way he felt like time flew by whenever you talked. Also I feel like he’s made jealous relatively easily, and that’s also in the song. His heart has been borrowed before, but he’s glad he’s ended up with you, to hear your jokes, save you seats, and call you his lover. He definitely likes to sing this to you late in the night, and i can see him humming/mumbling it whenever the two of you just stand and hold each other. Its so wholesome, and he loves the way your eyes light up when he sings it with all the love in his heart, all of it for you.
“You’re my, my, my, my… lover~”
GIF by tlotrgifs
Gimli - If You Love Her - Forrest Blakk
Honestly, he’s not a very observant dwarf, but he does pay attention to you. He knows you, and he cares a lot. Protective of you to a fault, but just wants everyone to know that they shouldn’t take you or your heart for granted. He hates to admit it, but he thinks you are precious (I’M SORRy-) and every small thing about you is worth taking note of. And he does, so he knows exactly how to make you happier. He’s your personal hype-man, and truly believes that you are the best thing he has ever had. He uses the song as a guidebook on how to treat you, and while he won’t say it, or sing it, he does play this song for you and leave in a huff, just hoping you’ll know this song is meant to say that he loves you. (He might even dub it over with your preferred pronouns for the big reveal, and it’s quite funny)
“They’ll love you, if you love them like that~”

Boromir - Summer Love - The Workday Release
Boromir really thinks this song demonstrates his feelings towards you, and how he wishes you’d stick around with him. You remind him of the summer, warm, bright and hopeful. It was so simple for him to fall in love (it’s like counting 1,2,3). He’s awestruck by your beauty, and doesn’t find it enough to dream about you, he needs to be holding your hand, feeling your presence. He wants to face the world with you there next to him. You always manage to give him a smile, make sense to him, and be honest. He’s not sure how to articulate everything he feels around you, so he just says that he loves you.
“Surely this is love, this is love, this is summer love~”
WOOOOO IM DONEEEE
Ive been writing for the past 2+ hours and it’s late and I’m tired, but I really hope you enjoy. If you want to request a fic, any fandom will do, I’ll get back to you on it, I promise.
Let me know if you want me to do a Part 2 with some other characters <3 Have a great day!!
