Mudd Gamgee

20 • she/her • LOTR nerd • shoulda been a hobbit • I show up, post, and then disappear • all are welcome :)

[muddgamgee]

To add to my whimsy, I wish to pin a post on my page :D

From me? Expect fun reblogs and silly thoughts direct from my goofy lil brain.

Me? I’m Mudd, I’m somewhere between young Bilbo Baggins and Pippin Took. I love Samwise and strive to be like him.

@whimsicalshymo is my very best friend and it is my fault that she now likes LOTR - and I’m proud of it

Stop by, stick around, and vear vigs! We shall get along swell, welcome in!

who i would let borrow my car in lord of the rings:

boromir- would likely take it to a car wash and fill up the tank for me afterwards. no questions asked and the keys are in his hand before he finishes his sentence.

gimli- would change my tires for me. a bit worried about him off roading but he’d take care of it. it’s extremely likely that he also took it through the car wash but not out of politeness but because he got it caked with dirt and mud while driving.

elrond- i’m willing to bet my life on this man being a reliable driver. he could get negative traffic tickets- as in, the cops pull him over just to tell him how good of a three point turn that was. this man is married to the turn signals.

sam- there might be dirt and dog hair left over for weeks but yeah i’d trust him. he probably just needs the trunk space for a dresser he found on the side of the road.

who in lord of the rings i do not trust with my car:

gollum- yeah obviously he’d drive it into the swamp in .2 seconds. this little fucker does not follow road laws or any laws. the second gollum takes my car i know its over.

gandalf- i do not know how one sends an automotive on a quest but im pretty sure my car is in moria rn and i’m never seeing it again

legolas- has the biggest passenger princess energy i’ve ever seen. would total my car immediately after going diagonal across the highway because he saw a cool tree

thranduil- like father like son. passenger princess who has not been behind the wheel for decades. would guilt trip me into giving him a ride before even asking to borrow my car. gets pulled over for having a whole ass wine bottle in the cupholder.

pippin- there would be peanut butter stuck in the console for months and i’d be finding loose snacks and trinkets in my seats years afterwards. also strikes me as the type to be obsessed with the radio to the point of reckless driving

[muddgamgee]

Bonus: Merry- yes, but only if he has a good purpose in doing so because otherwise your car is cooked

[muddgamgee]

Which lord of the rings or hobbit character would be most likely to dab on the haters?

[rabinovitch]

the greatest thing you can do for you dad is watch the lord of the rings extended edition with him

[muddgamgee]

Father’s Day is coming up

[m0rab3za]

I love drinking it makes the demons go away

[muddgamgee]

So, I will be showing @whimsicalshymo the Hobbit trilogy this summer when we’re back together. Please reblog with ideas for our daytime activities in between films. (Anything middle earth/hobbit/lotr, we like whimsy maxxing in this place)

Thank you kindly in advance

[muddgamgee]

What if I sat politely and watched LOTR?

I would like that very much.

Killer art, killer hyperfixation, 10/10

[helloilovefanfiction]

so my history exam is tmrw at 11am. it’s not really an exam, it’s just an essay question (500 words minimum). I did not spend my time tonight preparing for it like I should have.

do you want to know what I DID do?

I LEARNED HOW TO SING THE ENTIRETY OF THE PASSING OF THE ELVES IN ITS ORIGINAL SINDARIN.

aggggghhhhhhhhhhh why do I do this to myself

[muddgamgee]

A very effective use of time, sounds like you need to be on adderall

Hope the test went well :)

[ravliksblog]

An unexpected sketch with Thorin 👀

[muddgamgee]

So prettyyyyyyyy :D

[chocodec]

Why do I have a feeling that people who never faced depression don't understand Frodo as much as people who had experienced it?

It's just that feeling of something invisible eating you out from inside, and yeah, other people might know what it is and why are you like that, but it's not the same as living through it.

I don't like how much Frodo is overlooked and neglected. Every time me and my sister watch LOTR we end up having a debate lol

[muddgamgee]

FRODO AND SAM ARE BOTH HEROES AND THATS HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO BE

"𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆."— J.R.R. Tolkien

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐇𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐭. ⋆.˚📜..𓂃 ִֶָ🪶་༘

Homely, Affectionate, & Hospitable.

Hobbits, also known as Halflings, were a mortal race of Middle-earth. Though their exact origins are unclear, they were initially found in the northern regions of Middle-earth and below the Vales of Anduin. 

𝑻𝒚𝒑𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒔

The Harfoots were the most common Hobbits. They were smaller and shorter than the other kinds and had browner skin.

The Stoors often chose to live near water or on flat land. They were broader and heavier in build than the other Hobbits and their feet and hands were larger.

The Fallohides, who preferred trees and woodland, were the least common variety of Hobbits. They had fairer skin and hair and were taller and slimmer than the others.

𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆:

𝑇𝘩𝜀 𝑆𝘩𝜄𝑟𝜀 – A patchwork of meadows, gardens, and green hills. Here, Hobbit-holes nestle beneath the earth like hidden worlds; round doors painted in soft tones, fragrant gardens blooming with marigold, lavender, and thyme. Life here is neighborly and known: bells chime for tea, and gossip drifts like birdsong through open windows.

𝐵𝑟𝜀𝜀– For the slightly braver Hobbit. Bree is a bustling town at the crossroads of travelers. Life is messier but exciting. You might run a bakery near the Prancing Pony or trade gossip with a Dúnedain ranger while hanging up your laundry.

𝛤𝜄𝜈𝜀𝜋𝜕𝜀𝑙𝑙– For the odd Hobbit scholar or dreamer. Here, under moonlit waterfalls and whispering trees, a Hobbit might study Elvish lore, eat in peace, and keep an herb garden of rare flowers passed down by Elven hands.

𝑀𝜄𝜋𝛼𝑠 𝑇𝜄𝑟𝜄𝜏𝘩 – A white-stone city where only the most adventurous or learned Hobbits dwell. They live in quiet corners of the city, often near libraries or bakeries with honey cakes.

𝑊𝜄𝑙𝜕𝜀𝑟𝜋𝜀𝑠𝑠 𝐻𝜎𝑚𝜀𝑠𝜏𝜀𝛼𝜕 – The recluse. A Hobbit who lives near Lake Evendim or deep in the Southfarthing, alone but content. Their burrow is overgrown with ivy, and they speak more often to birds than to people.

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆:

Most Hobbits enjoy farming, food, ale, parties and the giving and receiving of presents. Their lifestyle is quite laid-back, as they preferred a quiet, normal, and peaceful life.

A Hobbit's lifestyle is deeply rooted in routine.

Especially when it comes to food.

Breakfast. 7:00–8:00 AM Usually hot and hearty. For example, eggs, sausages, porridge with cream, buttered toast, mushrooms, stewed apples, and strong tea. It’s the foundation of the day.

Second Breakfast. 9:00–9:30 AM A lighter snack to keep energy up before labour or walking. Baked goods (scones, seedcakes), fruit, or leftover meat pies. Often eaten outdoors while tending the garden.

Elevenses – 11:00 AM A midmorning break similar to English "elevenses". Think biscuits, honey cakes, sweet buns, and more tea. It’s also a social hour; Hobbits often pause and chat here.

Luncheon – 12:30 PM A proper midday meal. Roasted chicken, cheeses, pickled vegetables, potato salad, fresh bread, and ale. Often shared communally or enjoyed in a shady spot under a tree.

Afternoon Tea – 3:00–4:00 PM Their most ritualized meal. Always includes tea -herbal or strong black- and a selection of tarts, jams, buttered scones, and fruits. Often accompanied by storytelling or knitting.

Dinner – 5:30–6:00 PM One of the main events. It is the definition of a hearty meal: stews, roasted meats, mashed vegetables, gravy, thick crust pies, and lots of bread with butter. Sometimes includes entertainment. eg., song, pipe smoke, and music.

Supper – 8:00–9:00 PM A cosy closing meal. Light stew, soup, or leftover from dinner. Sometimes sweets like custard or berry crumble. Eaten in slippers, by the fire.

MORNINGS: are for foraging and breakfast(s). AFTERNOONS: are for gardening, napping, wood-carving, or sewing by the fire. EVENINGS: are for long chats over tea, pipe-smoking, and songs sung softly in well-worn armchairs.

They treasure comfort, but not idleness. Their hands are always busy; baking pies, mending things, tending to bees. Joy is found in the making of life.

𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒏:

Most Hobbits lived longer life spans than Men, a race of which they might have been an off-shoot. The average lifespan of a Hobbit was about 100 years, though it was not unusual for a Hobbit to live as many as three decades beyond that. Hobbits reach maturity at 33. Thus, a 50-year-old Hobbit would only be middle-aged.

 They also have developed a keen taste in the smoking of Pipe-weed and blowing smoke rings.

𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔:

A hobbit in love is slow-growing and deep-rooted.

Courtship often begins with gift-giving; a hand-written recipe, a fresh loaf of bread or cake, a flower tucked into a coat. They don’t rush into love, but once it happens, they are steadfast. You’ll never want for warmth, nor for a second helping.

They prefer monogamy, and marry for life, forming quiet, strong partnerships where devotion is shown in action; sharing the last slice of pie, warming your feet by the fire, building a home together brick by brick.

Some Hobbit lovers are shy and blushy; others are bold as brass. But all are sincere.

𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝑯𝒐𝒃𝒃𝒊𝒆𝒔:

Gardening (especially root vegetables and herbs)

Pipe-smoking

Letter writing and keeping family records

Cooking and baking

Carving, embroidery, weaving

Folk dancing, fiddle playing, drinking songs

Birdwatching and mushroom hunting

Everything they do is an expression of home, of patience, and of gentle pride.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒔:

Not all, but most Hobbits cannot swim & do not like water

Every Hobbit family has a “genealogy book” kept meticulously up to date. They are obsessed with ancestry.

They give gifts to others on their own birthday, not the other way around.

Their love letters are often scented with pressed flowers or wrapped in ribbon.

𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐: @fictionzet. Thank you for reaching out and inspiring me to do this! It's definitely going to be a series for the Races, places and events of Middle Earth!

[muddgamgee]

A lovely little summary! Love it

[scarebluetales]

I revisited the tiny version I had already painted 💚

[muddgamgee]

It’s perfect!

When can I move in?

[muddgamgee]

Feeling like Frodo from the low opacity Elrond screenshot today, and you know what?

That is just fine
