I had a terrible vision of Pippin with his hair in two short ponytails on top of his head, and I need it gone.
Oh lordy. Now I do, too.
Maybe a Non-Pippin pic will help
and he's in Bree in FotR.
You can tell it's him by the carrot he is munching on.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

I love his bit at Helm's Deep, because it looks so almost out of place.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yes, what I meant was that the White Council knew the Ring was lost, not destroyed. But everyone else except the very well-educated thought it was destroyed. The same way no one knew there was still an heir to the throne of Gondor, really...
One thing I love about the book is how dependent it is upon its own myths and legends. When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli meet Eomer and co. for the first time and tell them about the hobbits they're tracking, Eomer is at first disbelieving, and says (paraphrased), "Do we walk in legends, or upon the green earth in the sunlight?" He always thought hobbits were just a tale, much like the Ring or Isildur's Heir; so part of the magic of the story, for me, is that the characters are living out parts of the legends that they themselves grew up with.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Random: which elf is Figwit? And what does that stand for, again?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Figwit= (IIRC) Frodo Is Great ... Who Is That?
He's at the council in Rivendell, and he's the one that speaks to Arwen just when she sees the vision of her son.

And the "Who Is That?" part refers to....Aragorn? (I can't remember.)

No, it refers to Figwit himself. 'Cause he's so purty!
