WHAT AN INTERESTING QUESTION. First of all thank you for the opportunity to revisit my youth by googling pictures of Frodo and Aragorn. (and bonus Boromir: definitely potato, we are agreed there)
I would say that both Aragorn and Frodo fall near the middle of the Gremlin-Potato Scale. The amount of hair involved definitely complicates matters. Clean shaven Viggo Mortensen, especially when smiling like a complete dork, looks very gremlin-y. But Frodo... the pointy nose is very gremlin, but the rest of his head/neck seems more potato. He's a hybrid, I guess? maybe there's a third category that I haven't properly identified yet??
re: re: Dan. Explains why he takes the whole parasite thing in stride. *shrugs* "Trust me babe, I've seen weirder."
PS as a writer currently caught up in an endless cycle of sequel-writing, I'm glad you broke free. As a reader, I'm just clawing my face even harder now. thanks!
