That actually makes a huge amount of sense. I mean, if we're being honest, both of those things come out of extremely similar cultural and political traditions of conservatism, agrarianism, etc. I mean Offerman has explicitly said that he's heavily influenced by Wendell Berry, and the distance between Berry's work and the kind of idealized rural Deep England that the Shire represents in Tolkien's work is very slight.

Yeah, basically this.

I can just see Ron Swanson laughing at hobbits though.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
He wouldn't laugh at second breakfast.

But everybody knows Swanson is a dwarf. And he's sexier than Thorin, Fili, and Kili combined.

Ron Fucking Swanson.

At first, Ron Swanson would have no idea what you are talking about when you say "hobbit."

Then, if you explained it to him, he would hate that comparison. He's an American man, not a fictional, short, foot boy.

I totally read that in Ron's voice.

+1.

I think in my head canon one of his stepdaughters will point it out to him. And they will be all hyper about how cool hobbits are and deep down he will be a little bit pleased.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-09 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
... I think I can see it. I dunno, either way I love this secret. :)

Text: We’ve figured out what he is supposed to be: an old, ornery hobbit.

That is the inspiration for him.

S!B: Let’s be honest, it sounds nutty.
