Gandalf has one simple trick that always seems to save the entire fate of Middle Earth: Recruit a Baggins.

When in doubt, and when the darkest of evil overlords becomes insanely powerful, steeling themselves away in a literal volcano of menace, head on over to the rolling green hills of the Shire, pluck up the tiniest, hairiest little Hobbit you can find, and send that bloke on an adventure they're certainly not prepared for. Behold, the ultimate solution to Middle Earthien problems!

While it's not exactly a perfect plan, Gandalf the Grey knew that it was a foolproof plan. Sturdy, steadfast, loyal, and smol, the Hobbits are the idyllic, most unsuspecting creatures to swoop in and save the world. They're not like those fierce fighting dukes, arrogant warlords, or even remotely good fighters, but personally, if I were ever in a spat, I'd be thrilled to have Samwise Gamgee on my side with the best picks from his cast iron pan collection.

Middle Earth is just like our Earth: beautiful, diverse, and full of great, unimaginable evils. However, we don't have Hobbits of our own in this world of ours. If only there were a Baggins that could come walk barefoot through lava fields to destroy a piece of jewelry that talks in his head… Then again, perhaps we all have a little Bagginses in us after all. Tap into your inner Hobbit and go save your world today! Despite the trials and tribulations that face us–like a boring workday, a grocery store run, or the destruction of local evils–Hobbitisms can truly solve everything.
