Send the Tolkien crew after this one; this is a big mischaracterization of Tom Bombadil and there is fandom discourse dating back a century now. Stephanie isn't at risk of being canceled or anything, but if the wrong person caught this she would be getting a personal lecture. Online Tolkien fans do not say "it's not my job to educate you."Since when is she into LOTR so much that she coins a whole identity after a character? A strange little man who lives in the woods, so silly.
Tom Bombadil remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn, and nobody knows quite what he is or what his powers are. He hides a lot behind the hat and the goofy rhyming shtick if you're a clueless hobbit, or a reader who doesn't pay attention.
