Where’s my cow?
Is that my cow?
It goes, ‘Hruuugh!’
It is a hippopotamus!
That’s not my cow!– Thud!

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.
CORPORAL CARROT IRONFOUNDERSSON
MY FAVOURITE trope is the
“leave all your weapons”
*takes out far more weapons than expected (or logically able to carry)*and then
“i said ALL of them”
*takes out a dozen more weapons from increasingly improbable locations*
And then
*stern look**pulls out one more tiny pistol*
This is because if people went around noticing everything that was going on all the time, no one would ever get anything done.

whispering sam vimes once arrested a motherfucking dragon
you are capable of literally anything
Sam Vimes once arrested two opposing armies to end a war.
Sam Vimes fought an ancient mind-controlling spirit and won. Sam Vimes killed a werewolf with his bare hands. Sam Vimes happily wears the awful lumpy itchy socks his wife knits him. Sam Vimes causes traffic jams in order to be home in time to read his baby a bedtime story. Sam Vimes fought at the barricades— twice. Sam Vimes waited until his interviewee had left and then put his coat over his head so no one could hear him laughing hysterically at her silly name. Sam Vimes is my hero.
Sam Vimes overcame a crippling alcohol dependency. Sam Vimes examines and confronts his internal prejudices. Sam Vimes lived in poverty because he was giving his salary to the widows and orphans of fellow officers. Sam Vimes cleaned up a corrupt police force and made it inclusive of the different ethnicities in his city.
Sam Vimes is my hero too.
He turned to leave, then seemed to have a thought. “Sergeant Dorfl!” he said, turning back. “D’you think you’ll believe in gods now?”
Every eye in the Watch House turned to the golem sergeant. “Not Gods, Yet.” said Sergeant Dorfl. “But Always Sam Vimes.”
do it for the vimes
copperbadge I’m sure you’ll be tagged on this post a million times but if not, I felt you’d appreciate this.
Sam Vimes reluctantly supports the freedom of the press. 😀
“For example, when an obvious innocent sits down with three experienced card sharpers and says ‘How do you play this game, then?’, someone is about to be shaken down until their teeth fall out.”

turns out you’re wrong, sherlock holmes. i don’t do any kind of farming or professionally take care of dogs or anything you said. i threw on all this shit to see which and how many wild assumptions you’d make about me from one random glance, like an asshole. and you did. you made so many assumptions about my life just by taking one look, you asshole. here’s an assumption for you: sherlock holmes is a huge jackass
I headcanon Professor McGonagall and Granny Weatherwax as AUs of one another.
