> The name Bombadillo comes fromt he legendarium of [J.R.R. Tolkien], specifically The Lord of the Rings. [Tom Bombadil], who was a jolly fellow, is a mysterious figure. A seemingly simple character that speaks in rhymed meter and lives in the woods, Tom is master of his domain and is in his way quite powerful.
- gumby 6y agoHe is truly the master of his domain: the ring, Gandalf’s spells, etc have no his realm. I always felt he was a survivor or holdover from an earlier age, and akin to a god.
- edgyquant 6y agoHe’s definitely more powerful than a Maia (as the ring has no effect.). My headcanon is he’s either Eru himself or an insert of Tolkien, hence why he has no wish to stop Sauron (because he wants the story to unfold.)
- gumby 6y agoOr the acts of short-lived beings like elves or wizards who can only live for millennia or less are simply hard for him to take seriously
- freetonik 6y ago>he’s either Eru himself or an insert of Tolkien Or he is both, because Eru is an insert of Tolkien. Or, rather, Eru is Tolkien by definition.
