Threesomes featuring Frodo/Merry/Pippin are more common when writers set their stories before the Quest foursomes with all the hobbits are common during and immediately after the Quest and of course, once Frodo has departed into the West, Merry and Pippin are obligated to comfort poor, grieving Samwise. Frodo/Pippin and Sam/Pippin have been written (and written well), as have all the permutations that can be achieved with four (apparently very randy and uninhibited) hobbits. Pippin's light-hearted demeanor and youth made him irresistible to many hobbit fanciers, and as Rule 34 reminds us, if you can think it, fanfic writers will slash it. The canonical relationship between the cousins - from their obvious sense of comfort with one another, to their separation from the rest of the Fellowship, to Tolkien's appendices, which state that in their last years, Merry and Pippin left the Shire and travelled together to Rohan and then Gondor to pass their remaining years - lends itself readily to the sort of slashy subtext fanfic writers thrive upon, and Merry/Pippin slash did exactly that: it thrived.Īlthough the majority of Pippin-centric slash featured Merry and Pippin, there were certainly plenty of variations upon a theme. Angsty gapfiller in which Pippin first meets his family on his return from the QuestĪlthough hobbit slash largely focused on Sam and Frodo's relationship, there was a substantial & vocal segment of fandom dedicated to writing Merry/Pippin slash.

Peregrin took movie#
Movie canon that Pippin is a singer has also come into play frequently, especially since the cinematic release of Return of the King in 2003. (Insert something about Tookish reputation for going off and having adventures) Pippin's reputation as the comedic relief is a recurring theme in fanfic - he is often written as a prankster, with either disastrous or amusing results (occasionally both). He is often portrayed in fanfic as the baby of the family, so to speak, with everyone from his fellow hobbits to Gandalf behaving protectively toward him. Pippin's status as the youngest of the hobbits to accompany Frodo on the quest has been made much of in fanfiction.

Pippin was played by Scottish actor Billy Boyd in the LotR films. Also known as Pippin or Pip, Peregrin was cousin to Frodo as well as to Merry Brandybuck, and perhaps the most guileless of the four Hobbits who made the trek.
Peregrin took free#
Peregrin Took was the youngest of the hobbits who accompanied Frodo Baggins on his journey from the Shire, taking the One Ring to be destroyed before it was claimed by Sauron and used against the free peoples of Middle-earth.
