Wilson abandones the room after a little disaccord with House.
House turns to see the ducklings: Don't worry, mommy and daddy had a little disagreement but we still love you.
Chase so done: Please, stop saying you're our parents, it's strange.
House: Are you kidding?, Cameron is our little princess, Chase, you inherited mommy Jimmy charms and Foreman...
Foreman: ...
House: we know mommy cheated on daddy but we are not fighting over it.
House: Kidding, you're adopted.
Chase: Wish I'm adopted too.
This could be easily a Dr. House dialogue

Other customs that hobbits do that would be particularly weird/shocking to dwarves would be gifting locks of their hair to their friends and loved ones.
Bilbo leaves them for all of the company. Just strands of his hair tied together with ribbon to signify how much he cares about them. It is..surprising to say the least to all of them, especially Thorin who thinks something is wrong.
Hair is sacred to dwarves. And they fear something is wrong with Bilbo, or someone has hurt him because he's cutting it all off.
In reality, Hobbits share hair often. They've got lots of it, it grows fast, and it makes a great keepsake.
Another thing is randomly cutting hobbit children's hair when it grows wild. All hobbits believe it's their responsibility to keep their youth looking sharp, and that's not possible when said youth have bird's nests on their heads.
It's accepted and expected of all Hobbit's to keep young one's groomed, even if they are not related. No matter where they are or what time it is.
So when Bilbo randomly sees a hobbit child with unkempt hair down to his back running in his garden, he takes him inside and gives him a proper trim.
And of course, the dwarves freak out. Why is this happening? What has the child done to be dishonored.
It takes a lot of explaining.
I need help finding a fic! It’s bagginsheild, it from thorium’s perspective when he’s young in the months leading up to and following the destruction of Erebor, it has bilbo as a slightly morally grey thief form what I could tell. I only got like a chapter in but oh my god was it good!
I’m just gonna say that the best lotr fics are always the ones with the cultural differences
Cause like, it’s just perfect, it’s always soft, and fun, and it always comes with either healthy communication or communication issues, there’s no in between, which is perfect
And all the species have different shit they celebrate, different standards for things, different body types, different languages, different beliefs and all that, so naturally it’s so cool when all this things face each other in certain circumstances
So yeah, cultural differences is the best tag in any lotr fic
