Gimli at hobbit parties: *learning everyone’s names, listening to all their family histories & anecdotes about their children, telling good and wholesome jokes, generally being super polite and charming*
Legolas at hobbit parties: HEY KIDS WANNA SEE ME EAT THIS HANDFUL OF DIRT *scarfs it real fast*
one of my favorite lotr facts is that gondorians speak sindarin as a first language and yet when faramir was talking to frodo and sam about cirith ungol he was like “we don’t know what’s in there.” like faramir. cirith ungol is sindarin for “pass of the spider.” do the math

Don’t forget that Frodo also speaks Sindarin, which makes this even worse.
Faramir: Hey, don’t go up the Spider Stairs.
Frodo: Why? What’s up the Spider Stairs?
Faramir: We don’t know, Frodo. We just don’t know.
