Merry and Pippin


Okay, so, here's a pic of Merry and Pippin, the infamous duo. These two are always in some kind of trouble and are practically inseparable. They are truly poster boys for mischief. But despite their playful nature, both hobbits have a deep sense of loyalty and affection for their cousin Frodo. Both swore to protect Frodo with their lives in his quest to destroy the ring in the first movie. I'm sure we all remember that scene during the council Lord Elrond called where it seemed like hobbits were coming out of the walls, they appeared so randomly. I was actually waiting for Bilbo to pop up when I first saw that scene. But humor aside, these two are wonderful characters who provide a sort of comic relief, as well as providing an interesting insight on life. They display a remarkable amount of wisdom and courage despite their small stature and playful personalities. They give depth and meaning to a wonderful story. I hope you enjoy this pic and have found a new respect for these brave little trouble makers.
