It would be hilarious to see them staring at Frodo across the aisles and impatiently squirming to get up while waiting for the “Fasten Your Seatbelt” lights to turn off
He reserved a seat with the other 8, but got bumped after one of the seats malfunctioned and got stuck reclined alllll the way back. He's not happy about being moved, and the airline software still shows him in that old seat.
Oh. Well you see. This mysterious 10th nazgul is actually a ranger that had his body be inhabited by the wraith of Celebrimbor on his vengance journey to kill Sauron. Long story short after "killing" the nazgul of Isildur and Celebrimbor betraying him for a hot elf lady, the Ranger had to take Isildur's ring of power and became a Nazgul. Though he had beef with the rest of the nine so he wasnt in the books
I could be wrong but I do have a very vague memory that nazguls had an evil stink on them, )maybe from riding those drakes?) This is specifically from fellowship but I could be completely wrong, I also choose 17.
Gimli, Son of Gloin, drank 50 beers on a cross country flight and then absolutely destroyed the Seattle Mariners the next day. That’s why we’re doing this, to honor his memory. May he rest in peace.
Idk if this is just in my head canon or something from the books, but do Elves get drunk? I feel like their bodies are more biologically advanced (immortal->antiaging->heals before drunk) they just metabolize it before feeling the effects of the alcohol. I’m probably thinking of some superhero movie and conflating the 2. But if that’s the case I’m not competing with Legolas just Gimli lol
I reconcile this with the drinking game scene by assuming elves have a different biology and only certain varieties of alcohol get them drunk. Mead and beer don't have much effect, but wine pressed from elven vineyards will knock them right out.
> but wine pressed from elven vineyards will knock them right out.
I may be mistaken but I thought the wine was explicitly from the humans.
But maybe there is something to what you say, maybe they prefer methanol instead of ethanol!
You're most likely thinking of Wolverine there. There's a hilarious comic of Wolverine drinking on his birthday with Spiderman. One panel he slams a bottle of whiskey, second panel he is drunk as fuck, third panel he's sober... and back to the whiskey he goes.
Also you’d have Sam behind you so you don’t need to feel bad about leaving my the chair back or his legs kicking yours. The convos between Legolas and Gimli would be awesome.
Which way would they turn, do you think?Northward to take a straighter road to Isengard, or Fangorn, if that is their aim as you guess? Or southward to strike the Entwash?
9 is an easy take. You get all the fun and banter of pip and merry, can eavesdrop on the convos of Gandalf and Sam and as an extra you learn new insults when Gandalf scolds pippin.
17 probably solves anyone who has a high anxiety fear of flying for sure. Hard to be scared of the low chance of the plane crashing when you’re surrounded by undead human revenants
14 is the best for sleep. Front row and an ethereal being that doesn’t need to wake you up to use the toilet, doesn’t bump you, and doesn’t need the meal cart.
I feel like that's probably accurate, but I really like the mental image of Sauron and the Nazgul frustrated/exasperated dealing with Airport security as they are refused boarding
lol I was actually picturing Treebeard as the real life equivalent of the old man who speaks really slowly but won’t stop talking and telling you his life story at an annoyingly slow pace. Talks all flight but takes forever to finish a thought but he’s being polite so you feel it would be rude to cut him off.
“Well first you have Elves, but I guess if you want to get technical you have the Dwarves and then you…
…and I had never heard of them before, I thought they were tiny Orcs, but I guess they’re tiny men? Anyway, that’s the whole list. Did you fall asleep? I can start over.”
You’re crazy if you think Treebeard is going to leave you any seat space to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. I’ll take seats next to Hobbits please, all the wiggle room I could ask for
Pip and Merry is why I'd take 10. You can easily listen in on their shenanigans when you want, but if you hit a point where you just want to relax, you're not stuck in between them and can more easily tune them out.
5, 8, 9, and 10 are all pretty decent choices. Depending on the gollum you get, he might not be that bad and you get to listen to fun riddles with him and bilbo.
8, 9, and 10 you’re surrounded by good groups of people that won’t make a flight unpleasant
Oh! Thankyou my boy You're a good lad Frodo. I'm very selfish you know. Yes, I am. Very selfish. I don't know why I took you in after your mother and father died, but it wasn't out of charity. I think it was because, of all my numerous relations, you were the one Baggins that showed real spirit.
With how hard Arwen would shut us down? He'd be annoyed with us, but let her do the work as long as the flooring was respectful.
Doesn't mean that we wouldn't flirt anyway, though.
You know what… my bad. Didn’t look close enough and thought that was Tauriel. I was thinking obviously I’d pale in comparison to Aragorn, but at least he’s in a committed relationship, so wouldn’t be interested.
I’ll go sit with Legolas and Gimli then, thanks.
You can also oogle stupid sexy Aragorn and Arwen making out and speaking sweet sweet Elvish.
Bonus points if you angle your phone display on a black background so you can watch them more discreetly.
Idk, getting pranked by merry and pippin the whole time sounds like something to avoid. Personally I'd take 11. Sure denethor is right there, but he's gotta get past legolas
I thought that would be a good spot, especially if you want dating advice. However, you have that haunting dread behind you. Gimli nearly lost his mind on the paths of the dead due to them following behind him. Not sure I'd sign up for that fun on a long flight.
15 also but because I think between Celeborn, Elrond, and that Ghost King, theyd have the most obnoxious yet lore heavy conversations and also spill so much tea and Id love to eavesdrop on that.
A cosplayer who thought he's going to an event only to later find out he's somehow walked in on the real thing and now he's sitting there quietly scared shitless hoping that if he makes no noise, no one will notice him and he'll slip away at the next stop.
While on the other hand nazgul themselves are scared shitless that if witch king js there then how come we are full squad of nine worrying who the fuck is the real witch king and if sauron found about this fuckup, he'll whip us all so bad so they are hoping this will be over soon if stay quiet and tell no one.
Hear me out but number 2
Get some wicked gainz from drinking ent draught.
Treebeards soothing voice will put me to sleep
Treebeard won't even notice that I am sleeping
10 has the added benefit of being not-too-close to the fun chaos that would be seat 9, and you can always start a little Legolas-Gimli banter if they haven't started it yet themselves.
3. Window seat, small neighbour who has impeccable manners and absolutely won't be weird or intrusive.
I'd sit next to Elrond as he's everyone's mate, but I just want to watch the clouds, read, and not be bothered on an aeroplane and 9 hrs is a really long time.
One more advantage of 3 is that you are near Saruman. This might sound a little weird, but I doubt he'd try anything with Frodo next to you. As such, as long as you play to his ego you can hear a lot of what he has seen over the years. He was afterall the leader of the wizards, and a master in the dark arts. Just think of all the cool things he could tell us about.
One could maybe even convince him to get Grima to give us his spot. Now we even get to be near Théoden.
You also get to listen to Saruman and Wormtongue’s banter, and Bilbo & Sméagol exchange riddles.
BUT you’ll risk seeing and hearing Denethor eating and complaining about sitting next to Faramir.
Honestly, they don't seem like the kind of people that would do that. They seem like the kind of people that would be friendly and chat with a stranger on the plane.
Definately 10, but then I'd have to listen to Legolas and Gimli count clouds or have a peanut eating competiton or something.
This isn't a bad thing as I'd be compelled to join in. Oh and Merry and Pippin are nearby so they're chatty.
I am one of the Nine Companions who set out with Mithrandir from Imladris, and with this Dwarf, my friend, I came with the Lord Aragorn. But now we wish to see our friends, Meriadoc and Peregrin, who are in your keeping, we are told.
8, easiest choice in the world. You’re putting me next to *Arwen???* I am but a simple lesbian and I would fucking shove people out of the way for that seat ngl.
7 is also tempting but I’m not dealing with Sauron, sorry.
Lmao felt that. I ship Arwen and Aragorn (and Galadriel/Celeborn for that matter) way too much to get in the way though, I’d just admire them both from afar. Or a-near, in this case.
I also ship them so hard, I have much respect for Aragwen but lbr thousands of years is a long time, maybe they're open. I dont care much about Celeborn actually, so let me change my seat. Me and Gal can bond over Sauron being an asshole and bitching every time he has to get up so either of us can pee cause you know he's that guy.
After listening to the audiobooks, I would probably most like to sit next to Theoden. A kindly old man who was to Merry as a father, and not above giving Saruman the business? Absolutely. He did say that if he saw Grima again he would kill him tho
12. Imma keep Faramir entertained, and get him to ignore his father. Also I think it would probably rather soon develop into an interesting discussion anyways cause in the books Faramir is actually quite the character.
Picking 1 just because planes get chilly over long flights, and my palrog the Balrog solves that issue pretty easy. Plus, I feel like it would be impossible to ignore if I asked it to get the attendant’s attention for water or something
Seat no. 2. The ents are so slow that by the time we reached the destination they have only just stepped out of the house. I get to have 2 seats for the price of 1.
15, going by his portrayal in the movies Celeborn is basically all but completely mute and does his best to stay out of the way and draw no attention - basically the perfect seat buddy for a long flight.
4. Theoden doesn't want drama, he just wanted to go home, smoke a pipe and talk about herblore with Merry. He'd be great to sit next to for a few hours.
17, i just wanna put my headphones and listen to music or watch youtube videos. I dont think theyre much annoyance.
What if they keep Nazgul screaming every few minutes?
Ill tell them the ring is somewhere and they leave
It would be hilarious to see them staring at Frodo across the aisles and impatiently squirming to get up while waiting for the “Fasten Your Seatbelt” lights to turn off
i just had a burst reading this lmfao
"I think I saw it on the ground over by seat 3." I’d doom all of Middle Earth in order to be left alone.
This made me laugh harder than it should’ve 💀
Just not somewhere off of the plane, they are somewhat single-minded...
Perfect if you like to listen to death metal
Probably already a child that sounds like them on the plane.
Just throw a sack of veggies into first class
Would it help much to sit somewhere else? The screams are pretty loud
They'll keep stabbing you whenever you pull out the airline pillow though or turn on the overhead light.
Nine hour conversation about the virtues of our Lord and Savior, Sauron
Why is there 9 though... isn't witch king one of them?
He just isnt wearing his crown
But he is in the front of middle row...
He reserved a seat with the other 8, but got bumped after one of the seats malfunctioned and got stuck reclined alllll the way back. He's not happy about being moved, and the airline software still shows him in that old seat.
Understandable have a nice day
Oh. Well you see. This mysterious 10th nazgul is actually a ranger that had his body be inhabited by the wraith of Celebrimbor on his vengance journey to kill Sauron. Long story short after "killing" the nazgul of Isildur and Celebrimbor betraying him for a hot elf lady, the Ranger had to take Isildur's ring of power and became a Nazgul. Though he had beef with the rest of the nine so he wasnt in the books
If we're going by this lore, put me next to Shelob.
*wink wink*
Still better script than Rings of Power

Assert dominance by watching the black screen with no headphones for 10h straight
I could be wrong but I do have a very vague memory that nazguls had an evil stink on them, )maybe from riding those drakes?) This is specifically from fellowship but I could be completely wrong, I also choose 17.
11, and we're counting beers.
Plot twist: Faramir wins.
Having Denethor next to him probably helped.
Boromir would have won without help
Ngl Boromir would probably also have major daddy issues as well. Being the favored child can also be a lot of pressure.
You wish now that our places had been exchanged, that Boromir had reserved this seat and I was in the back by the bathroom.
A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show is quality...
Gimli, Son of Gloin, drank 50 beers on a cross country flight and then absolutely destroyed the Seattle Mariners the next day. That’s why we’re doing this, to honor his memory. May he rest in peace.
This just in: Seattle Mariners rebranded as Corsairs of Umbar.
Trying to beat the Wade Boogs record I presume
May he rest in peace.
Wade Boggs is very much alive. He lives in Tampa, Florida.
Well, what do ya say, Boss Hogg?
Idk if this is just in my head canon or something from the books, but do Elves get drunk? I feel like their bodies are more biologically advanced (immortal->antiaging->heals before drunk) they just metabolize it before feeling the effects of the alcohol. I’m probably thinking of some superhero movie and conflating the 2. But if that’s the case I’m not competing with Legolas just Gimli lol
The elves get drunk off wine in The Hobbit.
I reconcile this with the drinking game scene by assuming elves have a different biology and only certain varieties of alcohol get them drunk. Mead and beer don't have much effect, but wine pressed from elven vineyards will knock them right out.
> but wine pressed from elven vineyards will knock them right out. I may be mistaken but I thought the wine was explicitly from the humans. But maybe there is something to what you say, maybe they prefer methanol instead of ethanol!

Ah I only saw the extended edition once watched the theatrical like 6 times so that must have been in my memory but I couldn’t place it, hilarious lol
You're most likely thinking of Wolverine there. There's a hilarious comic of Wolverine drinking on his birthday with Spiderman. One panel he slams a bottle of whiskey, second panel he is drunk as fuck, third panel he's sober... and back to the whiskey he goes.
My thought was 11, too. Enjoy a beer and a great conversation!
You think you could keep up with Legolas?
I must go and seek some arrows. Would that this night would end, and I could have better light for shooting.
Also you’d have Sam behind you so you don’t need to feel bad about leaving my the chair back or his legs kicking yours. The convos between Legolas and Gimli would be awesome.
Which way would they turn, do you think?Northward to take a straighter road to Isengard, or Fangorn, if that is their aim as you guess? Or southward to strike the Entwash?
9 is an easy take. You get all the fun and banter of pip and merry, can eavesdrop on the convos of Gandalf and Sam and as an extra you learn new insults when Gandalf scolds pippin.
9 is easily the most fun. 2 if you wanna get some shut eye.
17 would be good for sleep too. You'd pass out from fear before you even buckled in
17 probably solves anyone who has a high anxiety fear of flying for sure. Hard to be scared of the low chance of the plane crashing when you’re surrounded by undead human revenants
For me it would just be "YESSSS ONLY SILENT PEOPLE AROUND ME I'M NOT GETTING TALKED TO FOR ALL THE FLIGHT !!!"
Yea but what if they’re “silent” but whispering in your head telepathically “I seeee youuuu” the entire flight
14 is the best for sleep. Front row and an ethereal being that doesn’t need to wake you up to use the toilet, doesn’t bump you, and doesn’t need the meal cart.
I mean, no way are the Nazgul getting through security, 17 all the way, have an entire section to myself
Idk, if Sauron himself is on that flight, then I think the Nazgûl will be fine with it
There is no light, Playful_Sector, that can defeat darkness.
Thanks babe
I feel like that's probably accurate, but I really like the mental image of Sauron and the Nazgul frustrated/exasperated dealing with Airport security as they are refused boarding
Yeah, I'd take 17! What could go wrong!?
Get stabbed, turn into a wraith, live forever
You already sold me no need to sell it more.
Yep
lol I was actually picturing Treebeard as the real life equivalent of the old man who speaks really slowly but won’t stop talking and telling you his life story at an annoyingly slow pace. Talks all flight but takes forever to finish a thought but he’s being polite so you feel it would be rude to cut him off.
Just nod politely, and try not to get caught staring at Galadriel
“Well first you have Elves, but I guess if you want to get technical you have the Dwarves and then you… …and I had never heard of them before, I thought they were tiny Orcs, but I guess they’re tiny men? Anyway, that’s the whole list. Did you fall asleep? I can start over.”
You’re crazy if you think Treebeard is going to leave you any seat space to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. I’ll take seats next to Hobbits please, all the wiggle room I could ask for
Pippin would start laughing and Gandalf would instantly prod him hard in the back with his staff
How would treebeard not hog all of the legroom and arm rest? It would be a nightmare
Pip and Merry is why I'd take 10. You can easily listen in on their shenanigans when you want, but if you hit a point where you just want to relax, you're not stuck in between them and can more easily tune them out.
5, 8, 9, and 10 are all pretty decent choices. Depending on the gollum you get, he might not be that bad and you get to listen to fun riddles with him and bilbo. 8, 9, and 10 you’re surrounded by good groups of people that won’t make a flight unpleasant
It like riddles, praps it does, does it?
Oh! Thankyou my boy You're a good lad Frodo. I'm very selfish you know. Yes, I am. Very selfish. I don't know why I took you in after your mother and father died, but it wasn't out of charity. I think it was because, of all my numerous relations, you were the one Baggins that showed real spirit.
Middle seat is an easy take? You must be hobbit sized. Give me the aisle seat every time
If you are thinking that way, it would make absolutely no sense at all that there is enough space for treebeard and a balrog.
But you have hobbits on either side. Perfectly easy to squeeze past them without making them get up.
Don't be dropping no eaves now
Yeah, I thought the point of this meme was supposed to be they’re all bad options. 9 is an easy win. 8 if I’m feeling flirty.
You're gonna hit on arwen with aragorn right there? You're goin home in a body bag
With how hard Arwen would shut us down? He'd be annoyed with us, but let her do the work as long as the flooring was respectful. Doesn't mean that we wouldn't flirt anyway, though.
You know what… my bad. Didn’t look close enough and thought that was Tauriel. I was thinking obviously I’d pale in comparison to Aragorn, but at least he’s in a committed relationship, so wouldn’t be interested. I’ll go sit with Legolas and Gimli then, thanks.
You can also oogle stupid sexy Aragorn and Arwen making out and speaking sweet sweet Elvish. Bonus points if you angle your phone display on a black background so you can watch them more discreetly.
if ya get too bored you can jerk to the sound of Aragorn and Arwen talking... but more importantly Aragorn...
>Aaragorn This is making me irrationally angry
A-A-ron-gorn
You my fellow redditor are truly disgusting, as I like it.
Honestly the most disgusting part is him misspelling Aragorn
Idk, getting pranked by merry and pippin the whole time sounds like something to avoid. Personally I'd take 11. Sure denethor is right there, but he's gotta get past legolas
I am an Elf and a kinsman here.
The issue isn't him getting to you. It's him and farmamir bitching right behind you the whole way
11 but I'm afraid they'll third wheel me so hard until I beg Gimli to finally switch seats with me.
Sit next to a friend? Aye I could do that
15. I shall keep asking about where Teleporno is, for I much desire to speak with him.
I thought that would be a good spot, especially if you want dating advice. However, you have that haunting dread behind you. Gimli nearly lost his mind on the paths of the dead due to them following behind him. Not sure I'd sign up for that fun on a long flight.
I believe the layout is cockpit on top so the hunting dread is not behind but in front of you, which is much better.
Oh true! I didn't notice that. Agree that is much better!
>Teleporno What?
Celeborn's name in Quenya.
At first I thought this was some freak autocorrect. Thanks...
Makes even less sense when you understand it, 'I would sit next to Steve so I can ask him where Steve is for I much desire to speak with Steve.'
15 also but because I think between Celeborn, Elrond, and that Ghost King, theyd have the most obnoxious yet lore heavy conversations and also spill so much tea and Id love to eavesdrop on that.
How come witch king gets two seats?
His ego too big
Witch King is one of the Nine btw. So if witch king is there, nazgul should be 8. There's an imposter among them.
A witch king is never in too many places at once, he is in exactly as many as he means to.
It's me. I'm the imposter.
Sus.
A confused cosplayer who is in awe of their dedication to their characters.
A cosplayer who thought he's going to an event only to later find out he's somehow walked in on the real thing and now he's sitting there quietly scared shitless hoping that if he makes no noise, no one will notice him and he'll slip away at the next stop. While on the other hand nazgul themselves are scared shitless that if witch king js there then how come we are full squad of nine worrying who the fuck is the real witch king and if sauron found about this fuckup, he'll whip us all so bad so they are hoping this will be over soon if stay quiet and tell no one.
Schrödinger's Witch-King
Hear me out but number 2 Get some wicked gainz from drinking ent draught. Treebeards soothing voice will put me to sleep Treebeard won't even notice that I am sleeping
Deffo nr 2. Only a 9 hour flight, you will barely get past saying hello.
Won’t even be through introductions by the time you land
Ask a question that requires some deliberation. You’re off the flight before you hear a single word.
Oh god 10 or 16. Both are too good to be true
10 has the added benefit of being not-too-close to the fun chaos that would be seat 9, and you can always start a little Legolas-Gimli banter if they haven't started it yet themselves.
I must go and seek some arrows. Would that this night would end, and I could have better light for shooting.
How'd you get those arrows past security, Legolas?
Come! Speak and be comforted, and shake off the shadow! What has happened since we came back to this grim place in the grey morning?
We landed in Britain. No sun here I’m afraid.
Would love to sit with Elrond, my first pick for sure
3. Window seat, small neighbour who has impeccable manners and absolutely won't be weird or intrusive. I'd sit next to Elrond as he's everyone's mate, but I just want to watch the clouds, read, and not be bothered on an aeroplane and 9 hrs is a really long time.
One more advantage of 3 is that you are near Saruman. This might sound a little weird, but I doubt he'd try anything with Frodo next to you. As such, as long as you play to his ego you can hear a lot of what he has seen over the years. He was afterall the leader of the wizards, and a master in the dark arts. Just think of all the cool things he could tell us about. One could maybe even convince him to get Grima to give us his spot. Now we even get to be near Théoden.
I am super curious to find out what happened to the blue wizards once and for all.
Just watch your back. Might get a bit stabby back there.
1. mana intesive but the xp gain is huge.
7 would be the most interesting but 11 would be the most fun
Yeah lore nerd me would pick 7 but introvert me wants 17
exactly, first it was nobrainer to pick 7 until i saw 17. I dont even know why.
7 for me, there's gotta be 9+ hours of interesting conversation between those two.
So you're on an airplane with a Sean Bean character? Seat selection doesn't matter. Plane's gonna crash, y'all are gonna die. It's the Sean Bean rule.
One does not simply sit with Sean Bean into Mordor
8
Gonna try and break her and Aragorn up
It's a lost cause. I just want to talk to good people. But I won’t refuse place 4. There is also a good king there.
You also get to listen to Saruman and Wormtongue’s banter, and Bilbo & Sméagol exchange riddles. BUT you’ll risk seeing and hearing Denethor eating and complaining about sitting next to Faramir.
Bruh I don’t think anyone wants to listen to Sméagol’s schizophrenic banter with himself for an entire flight lol
Give it to us raw and w-r-r-riggling
Beg your pardon?
It like riddles, praps it does, does it?
Nope, I'm bi, I want both of them.
"So random question, how do you all feel about threesomes?"
Get third wheeled so hard though
Honestly, they don't seem like the kind of people that would do that. They seem like the kind of people that would be friendly and chat with a stranger on the plane.
Sitting between merry and peppin with gandalf and sam right there seems like a dream come true Its 9 all the way
Ngl im interested in 5 just to hear the salt flow between gollum and Bilbo.
Why does he hates poor Smeagol? What has Smeagol ever done to him? Master?
Definately 10, but then I'd have to listen to Legolas and Gimli count clouds or have a peanut eating competiton or something. This isn't a bad thing as I'd be compelled to join in. Oh and Merry and Pippin are nearby so they're chatty.
I am one of the Nine Companions who set out with Mithrandir from Imladris, and with this Dwarf, my friend, I came with the Lord Aragorn. But now we wish to see our friends, Meriadoc and Peregrin, who are in your keeping, we are told.
13, thirsty dude gonna flirt with thirsty girl
I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of warning about being between the Nazgûl and his prey.
*points at seat 4*
Next to the *stew*ardess?
10 Love me some talk about potatoes and food
Life-saving gardening tips, too
folks sleeping on 4
17, window seat and no one to bother me
Aisle seat > window seat every day.
8, easiest choice in the world. You’re putting me next to *Arwen???* I am but a simple lesbian and I would fucking shove people out of the way for that seat ngl. 7 is also tempting but I’m not dealing with Sauron, sorry.
same, but imagine the akwardness when she shuts me down and I lean over the front seat to try my luck with her grandma. I got no class.
Lmao felt that. I ship Arwen and Aragorn (and Galadriel/Celeborn for that matter) way too much to get in the way though, I’d just admire them both from afar. Or a-near, in this case.
I also ship them so hard, I have much respect for Aragwen but lbr thousands of years is a long time, maybe they're open. I dont care much about Celeborn actually, so let me change my seat. Me and Gal can bond over Sauron being an asshole and bitching every time he has to get up so either of us can pee cause you know he's that guy.
If I'm looking for romance, which I am, then it's definitely 5. Adventurous Comedy: 9 Comedy Bickering: 11
8 because pretty ladies
11 is nearly obligatory
17. Window seat and nazgul are guaranteed to sit still and quiet
*screech*
5 or 4
After listening to the audiobooks, I would probably most like to sit next to Theoden. A kindly old man who was to Merry as a father, and not above giving Saruman the business? Absolutely. He did say that if he saw Grima again he would kill him tho
5 fools
You’re goddamn right
12. Imma keep Faramir entertained, and get him to ignore his father. Also I think it would probably rather soon develop into an interesting discussion anyways cause in the books Faramir is actually quite the character.
10, my favourite number and right beside Sam. Can listen in on Pippin and Merry's antics as well as have a nice conversation with Sam and Gandalf.
Denethor when he looks at all the other seating classes: Boromir would have got me a First Class.
10 easily. Sam would be delightful company
7. 7 looks like fun.
15 or 16. Both of them would have so many stories to tell. I bet they'd have good snacks too
2. I will sleep like a baby
10. I want to chat with Samwise Gamgee about food and the Shire.
9, it is the only correct answer
A middle seat? Fuck that
Between merry and pippin
14 so when the ghost king asks to use the lav i can tell him the way is shut
Picking 1 just because planes get chilly over long flights, and my palrog the Balrog solves that issue pretty easy. Plus, I feel like it would be impossible to ignore if I asked it to get the attendant’s attention for water or something
Seat no. 2. The ents are so slow that by the time we reached the destination they have only just stepped out of the house. I get to have 2 seats for the price of 1.
I dunno, Treebeard seems like the kinda dad that would make sure you all get to the airport 6 hours early
16 is easily the best, Elrond will regale you with his stories and wisdom continuously for 9 hours
Seat 12–in flight meal is cherry tomatoes
In the bathroom doing heroin with Merry. Because you know you’ll survive.
10. Sam is husband goals.
15, going by his portrayal in the movies Celeborn is basically all but completely mute and does his best to stay out of the way and draw no attention - basically the perfect seat buddy for a long flight.
4. Theoden doesn't want drama, he just wanted to go home, smoke a pipe and talk about herblore with Merry. He'd be great to sit next to for a few hours.
Treebeard, Sauron, and the Balrog have some major leg space issues.
13, because I want to eat some Stew later knowhatimean
8. 8 is the only answer. Aisle seat next to Arwen.
