Modern LOTR headcanons feat. Aralas and Samfro (also they're all chaotic teenagers and go to school together because I do not know how grown-ups work) (also it's based on my school so if the rules I mention here don't apply to other schools, they apply to mine so I'm using them)
Frodo and Sam are in Year Ten
Merry and Pippin are in Year Nine
Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli are Sixth Formers
Boromir is in Year Eleven
At least he's supposed to
The other teachers think he's an idiot but the kids love him
He went off the radar for a bit and there was a rumour going around that he died
But then he came back after a few weeks with white hair and whenever anyone asks why he left or where he went he just says there was an emergency
Saruman is the painfully incompetent supply teacher who did Gandalf's lessons for him while he wasn't there
Frodo spends most of his free time in the library
He's doing English, French and history for his GCSEs (let's pretend French is Elvish)
He hates PE with a passion (at my school PE is one of the compulsory GCSEs)
They both used to hide in the changing rooms to get out of PE, but when the teacher caught them they had to join in the lessons
Sauron is the PE teacher (because I hate PE teachers lol)
Also Frodo and Sam are dating (obviously)
Sam's doing food tech, science and history for his GCSEs
He's the best at food tech
His favourite thing to make is chips
Merry and Pippin are the class clowns
Merry is a sarcastic little sh*t, especially when he's talking to the teachers
Pippin is that one kid who gets up and dances in the middle of lessons
They're both in the school musical every year
He's doing A-Level performing arts
He's also very good at PE
He breaks the rules all the time but is too charming to get in trouble
A few years ago him, Aragorn and Gimli wore shorts to school, which isn't allowed
So the next day they all wore skirts
Aragorn and Gimli weren't so keen on the skirts but Legolas kept wearing them
Aragorn hardly ever brushes his hair
He likes PE and is doing it for A-Levels
They both did French for their GCSEs
Gimli is doing A-Level biology
He plans to be a doctor but so far the most doctor-ish thing he's done is help Legolas with a nosebleed
He's quite intimidating (despite being the shortest Sixth Former) but friends with some of the younger kids (especially the hobbits)
Boromir is doing music, maths and PE for his GCSEs
He's one of the Rugby LadsTM
He's also friends with the hobbits
In fact all of the lads are friends
They're all in a DnD club which Gandalf is in charge of
They're the only members of the club except for the slightly creepy kid who sometimes hangs out with them and talks to himself
Boromir got injured in a rugby game and everyone panicked and thought he was dead but it turns out he just got kicked in the balls and fell over
He may or may not have pretended to be dead to freak everyone out
Legolas and Gimli and Merry and Pippin are competing for Best BromanceTM
Aragorn is the only one who can drive
Legolas either gets a lift from Aragorn or walks/cycles/skateboards to school
Gimli and Boromir take the bus
The hobbits sometimes take the bus but sometimes they walk
No-one knows how Gandalf gets to school but legend has it he turned up on a horse once
They also all go to the LGBTQ+ club aka the Big Gay
Legolas and Frodo are gay
Gimli and Merry are aroace
Γowyn and Faramir go to the Big Gay too
Γowyn is trans and they're both bi
I might draw the Modern Fellowship at some point
