Gandalf: So, Mippin and Pippin –
Pippin: erm, that’s Merry and Perry, Gandalf
Gandalf: oh yes sorry, Merry and Perry –
Gandalf: …
Gandalf: PEREGRIN TOOK
just to be clear when i say he never lives this down, it’s not just merry and pippin who never let him live it down, the entire fellowship refuses to drop it
Gandalf: has anyone seen my pipe?
Legolas: *entirely deadpan* have you asked Mippin and Pippin
Gimli: *laughing uproariously*
Gandalf: Gimli you can’t talk, you can’t even tell them apart
Gimli: that’s not true!
Gandalf: alright, then. which is which?
Gimli: …
Merry & Pippin: …
Gimli: -_-
Merry & Pippin: ??
Gimli: *points tentatively at Pippin* …Merry?
Merry & Pippin: OHHHHHH
I like to imagine Legolas calls they MerryAndPippin one word. Both of them. Every time.
Legolas: So you have become fast friends with MerryAndPippin.
Faramir: I mean really just Pippin but I’m learning more about Merry every day!
Legolas: Thank you for protecting MerryAndPippin during the battle of Gondor.
Eowyn: You mean Merry? Just Merry.
Pippin: Hey Legolas!
Legolas: Hello MerryAndPippin.
Counterpoint: when there’s only one present, he calls them ‘MerryOrPippin’
