Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny
A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language.
another hilarious example:
my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is
I’m still mad about Thor’s hair so I made this because I was fUCKING ROBBED
Marvel you fucking cowards
Please credit Lithunium Snow! He has an amazing YouTube channel where he does elf hair, dragon themed hair, accurate Viking hair, restoring old wigs, etc. I love him, he’s funny, gay, and he only has 115k subs!
