One of my fav things about Gandalf is, he can & canonically does Full Name hobbits when he’s angry like he’s their mum or something
important follow up Qs:
1) does it frustrate Gandalf that he can’t do this to Bilbo & Frodo with the same impact bcos they don’t have nicknames
2) does he do it to non hobbits
Gandalf, in the distance: ARAGORN SON OF ARATHORN
Aragorn: oh shit I’m in trouble
May I also bring up the scene in The Two Towers where Legolas sees eyes in the woods and starts riding back, and Gandalf calls him back with a “STAY, LEGOLAS GREENLEAF!”
He really does it to non-hobbits too. He’s canonically done it to an elf.
I completely forgot that & thank you for confirming it’s canon
The more ‘son of’s he adds, the angrier he is
