Look at this.
>>220560432>marries an elf>starts speaking elvish at his coronationImagine how the working class citizens of his kingdom must have felt looking at this cringe ass elfaboo.
Wait, so Isildur gets the ring and writes down a bunch of information about it and then loses the ring and dies, right?And Gandalf knew where to find the book, right? Like, surely it was easier to do this research in the time period after Isildur died, right?The world's one superweapon goes missing and this dumb fuck doesn't bother reading the instruction manual for 1000 years, and only AFTER his friend has had a mysterious unidentified ring for 50 years and passed it on to his son?What the fuck was this dumbass doing during this time besides research on the most important single object on the planet? Wasn't that his job? And it's not like a complicated formula, you just throw it in a fire and see if writing appears. A child could figure it out, if only some lazy piece of shit had bothered acquiring the basic info when it was available.What the fuck, is this how you guys do your jobs?
>>220560432
>>220560527it's a story for children.
>>220560527he gets the ring but most of what he writes is>oohohoho its so heavy>oooohohoho you can only see the text in firethen he dies and loses it in a river and nobody really cares about this because (1) its fucking lost and (2) sauron is gone. that one scroll of his accounts gets shoved into some room with a bunch of other scrolls and somehow doesnt disintegrate in 3000 years of shit tier medieval storage. then in the hobbit bilbo finds the ring and gandalf connects the dots that its a magical ring but not specifically the Ring of Power so he doesnt give a fuck because its basically safe in the shire with bilbo. then 50 years later bilbo leaves the ring at bag end and gandalf sees the fuckery again and starts connecting dots so he goes to gondor looking for info and finds the clue about the text in the fire so thats when he goes to bag end and puts the ring in the fire and has a huge collective>ahh shiieeett
>>220561004Yeah I saw the movie autismo I don't need it turned into cartoon language on a wave of doritos breathI'm saying it's stupid an so are you
>>220560588Says who?
>>220560588maybe, if the child is like Nachiketa
>>220560564>BBC Gem>le me>love bbc>mfwoh my science!
>>220560527>The world's one superweapon>the most important single object on the planetIt's really not. It was pretty much useless without Sauron, and he was (apparently) gone.
>>220561193mutt's law
>>220560517They'd be fine. It's like a priest speaking Latin at a mass. The lower classes don't revile it; they revere it, even though they don't know wtf he sayin'.
>>220562151The elves weren't actively worshipped by the humans in LOTR
>>220562151 >It's like a priest speaking Latin at a mass. It's like the Norman noblemen speaking French at the English court.
>>220562181Nor are priests who speak Latin during a high Mass.
>>220562381Elves are an entirely separate race in LOTR, it's stupid to compare them to priests. They stuck to their own mysterious hideouts and didn't mingle with the humans. That's kinda the whole point of Aragorn being an elfaboo and being set apart from other humans, he was an Elf-friend.
>>220562526Tell that to the other guy.
>tax policy
>>220560564poo
>>220562563Weren't you the one talking about priests speaking Latin?
>>220562696Yes. To the guy you probably thought you were replying to. The one who said the working class would resent hearing Elvish.
>>220562811>YesSo it's not a good comparison is it? Elvish isn't like Latin at all to the Gondorian commoners. It's something completely alien to their culture.
>>220561235I mean that’s not true, it gave the right person huge amounts of power, hence why Galadriel and Gandalf had to force themselves not to use it.
>>220562904Correct. As is Latin to the lower, working classes, just as in my analogy. Hell, even middle/upper class people sneer at Latin today.
>>220562985No because Westron is the only language spoken in Gondorian society at the end of the Third Age. They don't have any activity akin to Sunday Mass where Elvish is spoken, their noblemen don't speak Elvish, their legal procedures don't use Elvish.
>>220563072You've missed the point, my fedora-tipping friend. It wasn't about what language was spoken, but how the lower, working classes would regard the spaking of that language by someone they recognize as a head of [insert appropriate insitution here] at a formal social function. Read the reply chain upwards until you get it. The proper analogy would be akin to a regular joe at a Latin high mass. He doesn't resent when the priest, who'd speak normal [local tongue] at the Friday fish fry, now speak this highfalutin language appropriate to his function at a formal community event, even though he'd, doubtless, make fun of and ridicule any college-educated person who studies Latin when he's drinking beers with his working-class buddies at happy hour tryin' to get away from the ol' ball-and-chain (iykwim). No one cares specifically what language was spoken in Westoros.
>>220564080>WestorosI think you got lost a bit there while you were huffing your elaborate brainfart
