"And this is Samwise Gamgee." "Your bodyguard?" "His GARDENER."
I've been watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy extended editions with my sis over the past week or so (long movies are long haha), and the more I watched, the less I could shake the random fanthought that holy shit, Gokudera is exactly like Sam. Like, to the point where they could almost be AU personality twins. I submit to you: Samwise Gamgee is a) beautifully, selflessly, obsessively loyal, b) hilariously mistrusting of anyone or anything he thinks might have the slightest negative impact on Frodo, c) surprisingly practical, d) surprisingly badass, and e) a dork. EH?SAMPLE THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING THE TRILOGY:
SAM: [has an awww moment with Frodo in the boat when he swears never to abandon him]
ME: Oh wow, he's just like Gokudera!
SAM: [is all in favor of killing Gollum because he DOESN'T TRUST HIM!!! and is extremely sulky about Frodo's decision to have him lead them to Mordor]
ME: Hahaha he really is like Gokudera!
SAM: [is having a giggly nerd moment at seeing a pair of oliphaunts]
ME: lol.
SAM: [is rationing Lembas bread so that they'll have enough, which means forgoing some of his own share so that his beloved Frodo can keep his strength up]
ME: Okay...
SAM: [is ranting to Frodo about how Gollum is clearly going to BETRAY and KILL them at any moment, but comes off as so hilariously paranoid that it's really hard to take him seriously even though he's totally right]
ME: ...
SAM: [takes on a giant spider like it's nothing because FUCK YOU, STAY AWAY FROM MR. FRODO. >( After stabbing it like a total badass, he later goes on to kill some orcs further on in his rescue attempt because why the hell not.]
ME: ......
SAM: [gets his ass kicked by GOLLUM OF ALL PEOPLE like an idiot. Twice.]
ME: Damn.
So yeah. And now it's my headcanon that, since we all know Gokudera's read Lord of the Rings (seeing as he's a HUGE NERD), Samwise the Brave is totally his favorite character. So just who is the real nerd here? I choose to plead the fifth.

New headcanon, GET.

I bet he has the one ring stashed among his jewelry collection somewhere. He doesn't wear it much out of fear of damaging his STREET CRED, but he totally bought it anyway.

LOL FOREVER
Haha, now I'm imaging if Frodo acted like Tsuna, "HIEEE SAMWISE ARE YOU OKAY ASFLKSDLGHK" /lame...I can't think of anything ;;;
no subject
Frodo is kind of like Tsuna in some ways, actually. Everyone is gay for him, he's got the whole 'befriending your enemies' thing going on (what with his trying to redeem Gollum/Smeagol), and he was more than a little failish in the first film in particular (HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU FALL DOWN AND HAVE THE RING FALL MAGICALLY ONTO YOUR FINGER, GOD). Hmm. DOES THIS MEAN GANDALF IS REBORN?
no subject
LOLLL INORITE. SERIOUSLY XDDD
...DOES THIS MEAN REBORN WILL DIE IN A VERY BADASS MANNER AND THEN COME BACK EVEN MORE BADASS
BYAKURAN IS SAURON. HE CAN EVEN SEE EVERYTHING IN MANY DIFFERENT POSITIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY OMG
no subject
...YES. HE SHALL RETURN AS REBORN THE WHITE. Actually, I wonder if becoming an Arcobaleno counts, because he did undergo one hell of a change.
AND OMFG YES BYAKURAN AS SAURON. XDD AND UNI IS GALADRIEL CUZ I SAID SO. AND IS IT REALLY WRONG THAT I WANT TO PUT YAMA AS LEGOLAS BECAUSE HE'S UNFAIRLY AWESOME AT EVERYTHING AND IS ALWAYS POKING FUN AT GIMLI AND KIND OF CHUCKLING AT HIM BEHIND HIS BACK? Only he uses a bow instead of a sword... which makes me wonder who'd end up being Aragorn...
...WHY AM I ACTUALLY PONDERING THESE THINGS.
no subject
no subject
*goes back to trying to remember if any of the main characters ever had trouble with walls...*
no subject
HAHAHA UNI! XDDD OMFG but...who would be Gimli...? Squalo? XD Come to think of it, they do have a history of differing allegiances (like elves vs. dwarfs = Tenth vs. Xanxus) and even fought over it during the Ring battles and eventually became allies in the grander scheme of things. I WONDERED WHO WOULD BE ARAGORN TOO...XANXUS?! But that only if I consider the whole adoption thing XD and his ties with Bilbo Baggins, who was the ring holder before
TsunaFrodo. lol idk /nerdBECAUSE YOU ARE AN AWESOME LITTLE NERD ♥
no subject
SQUALO IS ABSOLUTELY GIMLI. POSSIBLY. HELL WHY NOT. I wonder who Ryohei is. XDD Xanxus... maybe Denethor? Because he's standing in for the king and all, and he has issues with his foster daddy and Denethor has issues with his sons... okay, yeah, I'm reaching, but this is hard, damn it. XD
Lol, and this is by far the nerdiest thing I've done in a long, long time. XDD *debates the merits of trying to make some sort of comparison chart*
no subject
lol I forgot about Denethor XD much better choice than Aragorn. This is hard ffffffffff WHO SHALL ARAGORN BE
lol me too @_@ and omgggg comparison chart XDD I'D TOTALLY HELP YOU IF YOU NEEDED IT
no subject
ARAGORN... ARAGORN... super warrior man-of-the-earth guy with a crush on his immortal foster sister and a super awesome destiny that he doesn't really want... gdit I'm drawing a blank. XD That's the problem with LOTR, really; there are two main characters if you count Aragorn and Frodo, and I don't know how to rectify that with the one main character in KHR. XD
...we can come back to Aragorn later.
Haha, now I have a project for the next time I'm in need of something really nerdy to do. |D
no subject
About this discussion about who could be Aragorn in KHR... Nowadays Enma kind of fits the description, doesn't he? He's not that glad to be a mafia boss, is pretty cynical because of his crappy past and lacks both self-confidence and self-esteem, yet is incredibly powerful and a good leader. He would just be a slightly failing Aragorn. ^^; Then would Adelheid be Arwen? ...Hot. O_O (SORRY JULIE, I DO ship you with Adelheid, she was just the first "immortal foster sister" Enma might have a crush on that popped to mind! Please forgive me!)
Or maybe Shamal could be the kind of Aragorn who'd much rather sleep around than accept huge responsibilities? Dunno. Can't find an Arwen for him, though.
Back on Gokudera being so much like Sam... Now I can definitely picture him naming his first born son after Tsuna. The saddest thing? If Haru is the mother, she will agree wholeheartedly. If Yamamoto is the adoptive father? Same. Gokudera might meet more resistance if he has the kid with Shitopi-chan, though. (Oh man I'd LOVE to see them fight over that! XD)
...What? I jut listed the only plausible matchs I could think of! Except for Tsuna, because Gokudera probably wouldn't name a kid he adopted with Tsuna after one of his fathers. ...Or rather, Tsuna would veto it.

Sam can't be Gokudera's favorite.

I WOULD KEEP ARGUING, BUT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT GOKUDERA CAN NEVER HAVE NICE THINGS ANYWAY. XD
no subject
I say extend this metaphor as far as it can be unreasonably extended.
But..... what would that make the Varia?
no subject
I have indeed been trying to! But I got lost following my flimsy little logic train. XD The casts of both series are just too big and varied, damn it.
I HAVE NO CLUE. Clearly this requires more thought...

My raging Tolkien fangirl immediately cries the Feanorean family!**kicks inner fangirl**

...this is what I get for never having read The Silmarillion, I think. NERD FAIL XDno subject
Silmarillion was my first fandom.
Yes.
It has a fandom.
AND I LOVE MEAN ELVES. *___*
no subject
MEAN ELVES DO SOUND QUITE INTRIGUING.
no subject
THEY ARE INDEED. ESPECIALLY FEANOR.

ME: Damn.
I LOLED. SO HARD. JSJFHJKAJFJKFHKHFKJLOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
SOMEONE WRITE KHR X LOTR FIC! Oh wait, if Dera is Sam then Yama will be excluded in TTT and RotK. :(
Well then, SOMEONE WRITE KHR X HARRY POTTER FIC!
no subject
Yeah, that's the main problem with trying to figure out more LOTR/KHR connections; the casts are too mixed up in LOTR. I still haven't really figured out who'd make a good Yama. ALAS.
But I'm fairly sure the KHR/HP thing has already been done. Or if it hasn't, it SHOULD have been. I mean, there's a Harry Potter crossover for everything. XD
