sharing my favorite type of cultural misunderstanding that i barely see between these two

Thorin with a golden harp.

This painting was something! The sudden want to draw Thorin playing his harp was too strong to just make a doodle out of it and leave it in my sketchbook. It has been a while since I've done fully rendered paintings and I'm very proud at how it turned out.

"The Hobbit movies aren't accurate. The Hobbit's movies made the dwarves too hot"

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Shhhhhh.... shh

Look into my eyes right now and know I'm being so serious.

I. Don't. Care.

I don't care that it's basically Tolkien fan fiction. I'm under no delusion that it's accurate, I know the studio used the movies as a money grab insted of letting PJ do what he actually wanted. I KNOW. We *all* know.

I still don't care. It brings me joy.

Young dwarf Thorin

After learning how unhinged Mirkwood used to be do you think Legolas ever just drops the most wild childhood trauma on the Fellowship trying to be relatable and they just look at him like...no. No we did not all go through that.

Hot take of the day: elves fucking eat meat. Of course they fucking do. They hunt. Dwarves are the vegetarians. Or like mushrooms and tubers or whatever.

The night before the battle.

Dwarves in the Lonely Mountain: build fortifications, put on armor, choose weapons.

Meanwhile, Bilbo and co. in Thranduil's camp tent:

Cultural Misunderstandings: The Slow Burn ‘Angst’ Edition

Bilbo — Thinks Thorin’s either married or a widow because Hobbits only wear rings for marriage and alas, here he is falling for a king already spoken for.

Thorin — Thinks Bilbo must be a widow, for only widows wear their hair short and loose like that (ignoring the existence of Men) and thus he can only pine for the rest of his days for the Hobbit who innocently claimed his heart whilst his own lies in someone else’s grave.

The Company — Displays all the unsaid sympathy and heartfelt care for their poor leader and for the little halfling widow, even when Bilbo responds to their more open gestures of comfort with the most baffled of frowns.

Gandalf — Too busy smoking and worrying about Dark Lords to correct obvious mistakes. At least, not until they make it to a post-battle ‘everyone lives’ ending. Then he might think to notice and elucidate someone. And yes, a good bit of yelling would follow, but he’ll wizard storm them into submission and demand the right to officiate the wedding, don’t you worry.

Yet another sketchbook spread, this time with more dwarves! Man its so sad that theyve decided to get rid of Dwalin's mohawk, he looks so cool with it! I really like this headcannon(?) dynamic between Nori and Dwalin in which he is a guard and constantly chases after Nori for his crimes so i sorta tried to incorporate that into the illustration. Balin was such a delight to draw, he wouldve LOVED gramophones.

Only the elves really see Elrond as "half-elven." They focus, of course, on who he is in relation to them. He's sort-of an elf– enough that they can accept him into their society, but not enough to erase his differences. They understand the different parts of him– his propensity to get sick, his elvish-sharp hearing, his need for sleep, his immortality– as "elvish" or "not-elvish." And while they can be rather condescending about anything they see as "not-elvish," they aren't usually very curious.

Most men regard Elrond vaguely as a fae being. This isn't unique to him– much of Middle-Earth's changling and fairy stories were built on the strange human-and-not-human nature of half-elves. Of course, different humans regard them very differently– sometimes with respect, even reverence, believing that "fairies" are beings of great wisdom and knowledge. Others see them with suspicion and fear, viewing them as sources of danger and deception.

To the Numenorians, Elrond is just one of them– a kind of "immortal man." He is like them in several key ways– he gets ill, he needs sleep, he regards the passage of time in a very "human" way. More importantly, he is their kin, a living remnant and reminder of both their mythical founder and non-human blood they share. He acts as a healer and counselor when they need him. This is all well and good until some of them start thinking that if Elrond could make the choice to be immortal, surely they should be able to as well.

The dwarves see Elrond as an elf. They absolutely do not care enough to tell the difference between him and the others. He's immortal, he's always with a bunch of elves. He's an elf.

The Maiar do not really understand what Elrond is, and have kind of defaulting to seeing him as one of them but like, small. Look, they're all uncounted thousands of years old, he's a child to them. They dote on him and think he's adorable, but sometimes forget that he's also part-elf and part-human, and can't just drop his physical form whenever he likes to go be a disembodied spirit in the clouds. Gandalf encourages all their antics. Elrond is working on it.

(Contrary to popular belief, the average hobbit does not have any kind of opinion on Elrond Peredhel. Bilbo Baggins, who lives in his house and has written several long, extremely personal ballads about his family history, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.)
