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.
Reblog to kick everyone in the nuts
When talking about the kind of elves that fix shoes in the middle of the night or work for old men making toys or who eat your socks when youβre not looking, you know, those guys? The little fellows with loud socks?
I think more of those guys should also show up in high fantasy settings but the tall long living use bows and arrows elves also exist. And they are also called elves.
Also they must hate each other for no particular reason.
reblog if youβve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. Iβm trying to see something
'fuck it we ball' and 'this too shall pass' are literally equal and opposite forces
Merlin au where everything is the same except Igraine (Arthur's mom) is still alive. So magic is still illegal for some or other reason (I'm thinking someone tried to kill Arthur or Igraine and it just so happens that they were a sorcerer and Uther gets extra protective, Igraine doesn't like it but she understands it to a point). Anyway when she (Igraine)meets Merlin for the first time she looks at him a is just like I know who your daddy is.
