tbh Nonnie, I don’t actually think Gimizh is the one who enjoys being matchy-matchy… and I say this as a person who was made to be matchy-matchy with my younger sister. It’s usually adults who find it cute.
It often sucks to be a kid made to be matchy-matchy, it makes you feel like you’re not an individual. That’s why every schoolkid in Australia ‘customises’ their school uniform in some way, if they can.
Nah, I see Gimizh as an unrepentant clothes-thief, frankly. If he likes that new thingie you’ve got, it will suddenly disappear from your chest of drawers and three days later you’ll spot him wearing it. And when he’s done, it reappears in the drawer (sometimes covered in cookie-crumbs) just like maaaagic. *waggles fingers* MAAAAAGIC.
If you confront him about it, he will pretend he has ♩♪♫NO IDEA♬♪♫ what you’re talking about. Even when wearing your hat right in front of you.
During this Halloween season, I would like to reflect upon the time that my daughter’s Bilbo toy lost its head, and my hubby decided to replace it with an acorn.
And speaking of pronouns, flat-out my favorite part of the LOTR Appendices is when it’s revealed that the Gondorian dialect of the Common Speech differentiates between formal and informal second-person pronouns but the distinction’s been lost in the Hobbit’s dialect, so Pippin’s blithely been using familiar terms of address with the Lord of the City, and thus helps to explain both why the Gondorians are so ready to assume he’s a prince and why Denethor finds him so amusing to have around.
@determamfidd I’m suddenly reminded of that post talking about Aussies and our inability to comprehend formal vs. informal pronouns
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT HOBBITS ARE AUSTRALIAN
“i will take the ring to Mordor… though I’m fucked if I know where it is.”
“Po-tay-toes. Fry ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em on a pie!”
“What about second smoko?”
“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and the rest of you shit me to tears.”
Aw Yiss
