“What’s in Frodo’s trousers?”
Golum and Samwise in unison: “My precious” 🥵
“What’s in your trousers?”
Bilbo: “Guess!”Hobbits are men (distantly related) in Tolkien’s lore.
Dwarves and Elves are completely different things.
Source for hobbits being related to men?
Still, Tolkien clearly states in “Concerning Hobbits” that hobbits are not technically a distinct race from Men, the way that Elves or Dwarves are, but branched off from other humans in the distant past of the Elder Days.
“It’s true, you don’t see many dwarf women. And in fact they’re so alike in voice and appearance, they’re often mistaken for dwarf men!”
(Whispering) “It’s the beards.”
I was never quite sure whether Aragorn meant “beards are how you tell them apart” or “the women having beards are why they’re so often mistaken”
isn’t it definitely the latter?
