The Sentinel / Tolkien crossover

Verse Info

The Sentinel

American TV Show

Ran between 1996 - 1999

Across 4 seasons

Canon

A Sentinel is someone who has hyper-acute senses, acute to the point of dangerous “zoning out”

A Guide is someone who prevents “zoning” because of empathetic or psychic abilities

Mundane - someone with normal senses

Zoning out - getting hyper fixated on something i.e. like on the smell of blood

Non-canon (although most class it as canon since 90% haven’t seen the show)

Facts about both Sentinels & Guides (everything mentioned below is based around the LOTR/Hobbit verse so alter if needed)

Most tend to work in occupations where they can use their abilities to help people. This would be like: the Rangers, soldiers, healers etc.

95% of Sentinels & Guides start coming online gradually between 10 & 20 years old. This allows them to learn about their abilities in a less dangerous setting

The remaining 5% of Sentinels & Guides come online instantaneously, normally due to serious or life threatening danger

Typically the Dúnedain, Elves and Dwarves gain the most Sentinels & Guides, for they tend to be the wanderers

Most Sentinel/Guide pairings are within their own races, either romantic or platonic

There are some who have found their Guide/Sentinel in another race, although this is very rare

Facts about Sentinels

Sentinels can range from being online with only one sense i.e. Hearing to all five - Touch, Hearing, Smell, Sight & Taste

Some sentinels are able to pull themselves out of a light zone but most tend to fixate (zone) to a point that could become dangerous or fatal if not pulled out of it

Warriors, fighters, leaders - rarely found working in a place of healing as their skills are more useful elsewhere

Can be possessive and many aren't a fan of being alone

Facts about Guides

Are just as, if not more, dangerous than Sentinels due to their empathy

Normally healers or working in a occupation that allows them to utilise their empathy

Many young Guides are buffered by their family members until they either find their Sentinel or their mental shields are strong enough to not be overwhelmed by their empathy

Racial Differences

There are very few Sentinels within the Shire - most are within the Took family to no surprise. Although the Fell and Long Winters brought a lot more Hobbits online as Sentinels

However one is rarely far from a Guide and it is rare that they will leave any Sentinel in distress, no matter the race

Dwarves are the opposite to the Hobbits, for they have more Sentinels than Guides

Unlike the Men and Elves, most Dwarf Sentinels don't need a Guide to manage their senses.

Dwarves with 4 or 5 senses aren't common but they are most at risk of falling into a zone and needing a strong enough Guide to pull them back out

i love how Gandalf invested in Hobbits in year one and has been pushing them ever since. Thorin, i hear you need help with a breaking and entering. Can I recommend one of these little cunts? Silent as fuck, trust me. Elrond my dude i know you're skeptical but these four chucklefucks just transported a weapon of mass destruction all the way here. Theoden, you've gotta get yourself a hobbit man, I've got a spare one here. Denathor you big prick, take a hobbit - literally this is the bottom of the range but listen to him sing. Beautiful little bastard.

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

imagine: you are chilling in front you your house getting high. along comes an old family friend who you last saw when you were six, you are now in your 50s. after a brief convo where he is kind of a dick to you, he’s like damn you’ve changed :/. and your like yeah bestie it’s been five decades why the fuck are you here. he leaves. later that night a shit ton of people show up and trash your house. just throw and absolute rager. halfway through the family friend from earlier shows up. he announces in full earshot of everyone that he wants you to come with him to rob a bank. you of course say wtf??? one of the people who broke into your house calls you a pussy. another person shoves you a contract which declares if you get shot robbing the bank they will not pay for your funeral. you pass out. when you wake up you find the contract on your table and your house almost completely back to normal. you stare at the contract for a moment and decide, fuck it this is just as a good a midlife crisis than anything.

this is what happened to bilbo baggins
