Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 i guess that's because the dwarves are very isolationist and also because they're not biological children of ilúvatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 a dwarf x a noldo might have worked out if it weren't for the eternal strife between elves and dwarves that originated after the slaying of king thingol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 tho it should be noted that even in after days there was friendship between the longbeards of khazad-dûm and the noldor of hollin for as long as that lasted at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 but then there's legolas and gimli and legolas isn't even a noldo in fact he's a descendant of thingol's people really special friendship they had going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 fun fact: gimli and legolas were such good friends that they sailed to aman together this made gimli the only dwarf ever permitted to set foot on the undying lands while still in body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 wtf i also said song of during instead of song of durin??? what is wrong with me today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 i also really like what tolkien does with language someday like túrin calls himself turambar (which means "master of doom") and then when he dies nienor says to him "o master of doom, by doom mastered!" or when the witch-king says "fool, no living man can slay me" and éowyn says "but no living man am i" they changed that to "but i am no man" in the movies which just sounds a lot less good tbh this is upsetting me not as a tolkien fan but as a linguist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 "what was your least favorite part of the lord of the rings movies?" "that one sentence éowyn said to the witch-king that was way better in the book tbh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 "what was your least favorite part of the hobbit movies" "probably everything" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Nepos Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 me several years ago, hearing they're going to make the hobbit movies: "oh no they're probably going to butcher it also the fact that they're going to make it into two separate movies just sounds like they want to milk the whole thing for money" me a while later, hearing that they're actually going to incorporate background history from the appendices of the lord of the rings and stuff to expand the story with the battle against sauron that was going on in mirkwood at the moment: "wow they're actually taking this and the whole lore seriously... oh man this is so EXCITING" me a while later, when sister asks if i wanna see the first hobbit movie: "I'M SO EXCITED" me, watching the first hobbit movie: "WHYYYYYYYYYYY THIS BITTER BETRAYAL" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
