new game: list characters in your fandoms who you think could resist the One Ring.

All I can think of right now is Nanny Ogg (Discworld) and Jean-Luc Picard (TNG). It’s funny how we gravitate much more towards characters who would grab at it with both hands.

wow…this is hard. Luna Lovegood?

I think Luna is a perfect example!

This is harder than it looks… Vir Cotto from Babylon 5 maybe?

Oooh definitely Vir. Stacker Pentecost, I think.

darryl mcallister, absolutely

Could you make a case for Keladry of Mindelan?

In Shakespeare’s entire corpus, Henry VI is likely the only one who’d stand a chance.

Can I make a case for Sam Vimes? I’m sure immensely powerful rings that control other people/rings have to be against some law or other…

Vimes sure, but what about NOBBY?

…Francesca Vecchio. I mean, to her it’d just be jewelry.

Are you saying that Francesca Vecchio is the TOM BOMBADIL of Due South????

She totally is.

Anyway, I’m going to say Jar-Jar Binks, Molly Hooper, and Paityr Wylsynn.

Melissa McCall.

Arthur Shappey.

Laura Roslin.  She’s like Galadriel, yo.

Donna Noble

Viago and Stu (and now I need to see Viago talking about how Vladislav has found this ring, and it’s really causing a lot of problems around the house, and Stu nodding and agreeing). 

Father Dougal, Father Jack and Mrs Doyle. 

Maurice Moss.

Marge Gunderson  and 

Molly Solverson.

I think Molly would take it.  I vote Mrs Hudson.

I see your Jean-Luc Picard and raise you Data.

Sam Yao, duh. Jack Holden because he’s basically Sam Gamgee anyway.

Groot.

Pretty sure everyone from Hannibal has *already* been corrupted by the Ring.

Andy Dwyer. Ron Swanson. April Ludgate–no, hear me out! She’s so over everybody and everything not even the One Ring could make her crack. 

Bertie Wooster (he’d immediately lose it).

Same for comic book Clint Barton.

Speaking of which, plenty of the Avengers: Natasha, Clint, Bruce would run away in terror, Thor has no time for your Midguard trinkets. Steve Rogers like WHOA Steve Rogers. Just give that shit to Captain America on day 1 and it’s over like bam. Vision and Hulking, for sure but holy crap, keep it away from their significant others, god damn. Wanda and Billy would just ruin everything, like, instantly. They wouldn’t even touch it before everything was fucked up and on fire.  Peggy Carter would eventually succumb, but nobody would mind too much. NOT TONY STARK. Holy shit NOT TONY OMG. In fact, he’s almost certainly trying to create one as we speak.
