Dwarves venerate, not worship their ancestors. And elves named their weapons too, probably more often than men
men: We learned it by watching you!
Olcrist the Goblin-cleaver and Glamdring the Foe-hammer!
Hobbies: beer, weed and vibing
I wish I was a Hobbit.
Be the change you want to see, my dude.
Where are we starting the commune at? I'm down for this. Return to Shire.
And dwarves don't love gold?
The Hobbits absolutely do have a class system
Those no-good Sackville-Baggins... always stealing the silver...
I recently read this article which, sadly, totally goes against the meme.
That was a fascinating read, thank you for sharing! The fact that Tolkien's world can be analyzed to this degree and still make sense is absolutely mind boggling to me.
Indeed, an excellent article. My favourite line:
The Thain was the nominal Head of State for the Shire, and had the authority to summon the moot and muster in times of emergency, but this was mostly ceremonial, given the lack of emergencies.
That article was a very good read.
the so-called political compass as a concept is stupid, but taking it at face value, how are dwarves economically on the left? they work to death in mines and love gold.
Yeah that's pretty much it
Subaltern is a great word.
