I think watching the movies we forget how totally unhinged the Prancing Pony scene is in the books. Like it’s literally:

Frodo: Right, there’s evil things after me, gotta keep a low profile. Got it everyone? Low profile.

Also Frodo, five minutes later: WITH A PING AND A PONG THE FIDDLE STRINGS BROKE AND THE COW JUMPED OVER THE MOOOOOON!!!! *Dances passionately on the table*

A few minutes and one fall later

Strider: Holy shit Frodo you fucked up so bad.

Frodo: W-what??

Strider: Worse than anything your friends could have done!

Frodo: Who-

Strider: We need to talk, once the clamour has died down.

Frodo: Ok…

Later, in the now deserted and dark pub

Pippin: Did he really say to meet you here?

Frodo: Yeah, maybe-

Strider, sitting in a dark corner: Hello

Hobbits: Ah!

Frodo: Uh, hi, you said you wanted to talk to me?

Strider: Yes, and you might hear something to your advantage.

Frodo: Sure… what do you have to say.

Strider: Many things, but of course I have my price.

Frodo: What price?

Strider: no more than you can afford.

Frodo: And that would be-?

Strider: Take me with you on your journey until I wish to leave.

Frodo: No.

Strider: God, Thank you.

Frodo: Huh?

Strider: At least got some sense left.

Frodo: Um.

Strider: Did no one ever teach you “stranger danger”?

Later

Frodo: Guys, I think we can trust him.

Merry: Source?

Frodo: Vibes.

Merry: Valid source.

Frodo: Also he’s so ugly, there’s only so much damage he can do, you know?

Pippin: 10/10 reasoning.

Sam: I can take him.

Aragorn, probably: Manwe above, I’m not a moment too soon.

Becca pointed out to me that in an early episode of Gravity Falls, The Legend of the Gobblewonker, Stan has a licence plate with “Stanley Mobile” on it. (“STNLYMBL”)

Which is rather strange, considering Stan’s full name is Stanford.

I’ve seen theories, or perhaps just headcanons, floating around that Stan is a twin. Stan must have (or must have had) a sibling who is Dipper and Mabel’s grandmother or grandfather. Twins often run in the family, and “Stanley” and “Stanford” sounds like a cute pair of names for twin boys.

I don’t know if those idea are substantiated or not. I don’t know if the family will ever be touched on or if they’re significant at all, but it seems like a pretty weird error to make for the animator to confuse “Stanley” with “Stanford”

i feel like an often overlooked downside to 10-episode seasons and the death of the "monster of the week" format is that we get way less whump variety nowadays. used to be that there'd be dozens of opportunities for your fave to get punched or kidnapped or hypnotized or what have you. these days if it doesn't fit into the main plot, it just doesn't happen. this is a tragedy. we should be protesting.
