Durin : so why you guys called yourself the 'high elves?'
Elrond : because we are the wisest amoung our kind, we knew for our intelegence, and we literally one of the smartest kin in middle earth
Oropher, totally drunk, slammed the door : WASSAP BITCHESSS!! HEI GIL GALAD WANNA PLAY SOME DRINKING CONTEST? I ALREADY BEAT YOUR FËANOREAN *Chug the entire bottle of wine*
Young Thranduil, drink an entire bottle in one sip : HEI ELROND, LET'S SEE WHO IS GOT THE BIGGER DIC-
Elrond : that's the sindar elves
Durin : no... That's the real high elves.

Elrond not letting Durin tell him his hidden name felt so much like the trope where someone tries to say i love you, and the other person cuts them off because, “you can tell me when we make it out on the other side. both of us”.
he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to his friend.

"Bit sudden for Elves, no? Typically takes you people weeks just to decide to take a sh-" "IF I MAY..."
"You made it up, didn't you?" "Disa's been wanting a new table for years, so..."
"Aulë's beard. Enough with the quail sauce" *stands on rock so he's taller*
"So the fate of the entire Elven race is in my hands?" "So it would appear" "say that again" "the fate of the entire Elven race is in your hands" "whose hands?" "Yours"
"Under one condition. Tell Disa the table's from me" "don't push your luck, Elf"
ICONIC™️

About Tolkien "fans"....
I've spent the last 25+ years studying Tolkien fans. I thought I was indulging in the books and the fantasy lore but, lo and behold, I was mostly interacting with the other fans. And let me tell you something... the bulk of them are assholes.
The first die hard Tolkien fan I met was a boy in my high school freshman English literature class. The year was 1995. We were all assigned to read The Hobbit and, I would have to agree, 14 years of age is the perfect age to get to reading it if you hadn't started it in middle school.
A boy in my class had already read it, plus the LOTR trilogy, as well as The Silmarillion. What ensued for the rest of that semester was this particular boy dominating class discussions and telling everyone else what was going to happen in the book before we'd reached that chapter. This boy wasn't gifted by any means, just a superfan. I found him annoying by the end of the semester. He nearly ruined the book for me.
I loved reading The Hobbit and that assignment inspired me to read the rest of the LOTR books, but I'll never not associate my introduction to Tolkien with the blathering and nerdsplaining of that loud mouthed teenage boy.
Then, in my early 20's, I met a man. We were, well, married in the early 2000's. (It didn't last. We divorced just four years later.)
He was one of those Tolkien fans who had a monopoly on the franchise. Nevermind that I'd also read the books and saw the original trilogy in theaters. He was The Expert on Tolkien mythos, and don't you forget that. Also, I came to learn that he was a huge racist. He kept that reined in around me, letting it gradually bleed out over the years until he finally dropped all pretenses and voiced every racist thought that crossed his mind.
Oddly, his love of Tolkien was intimately associated with his love of Nordic and Anglo culture, coupled with his unfiltered disdain for African American people. He also boasted that he loved Wagner, a notorious anti-semite, and said it was my first name (I was named after a famous european fairytale that was adapted into one of Wagner's operas) that originally drew him to me.
He made black jokes, jew jokes, dropped n-bombs, the list goes on. The more racist he became, the more he revealed other ugly aspects of himself and the less I loved him -- and eventually grew to loathe him. I filed for divorce and that was that. But he was a preachy, die hard, you-don't-know-Tolkien-lore-better-than-me, nordic pride racist.
Odd, considering Tolkien’s revulsion for Hitler. Anyway...
Moving forward, I have spent the last few months in and out of Tolkien discord chats, mainly observing the others chatting. The "fans". Oh they know their lore. Yes they do. They have it memorized like the holy bible. They fight over concepts of if whether or not orcs were corrupted elves or corrupted men. They revere Tolkien almost like a deity. Some of them have this misguided concept that Tolkien lived in "old England", like "ye olde" with that extra "e" on there and everything. But the truth is that Tolkien died literally ten years before I was born and while The Hobbit was being published, the Three Stooges was playing at the cinema.
Point is, their memories of the lore are photographic, pretentiously spelling Sauron's name like "Þauron" and everything, but their memories and concepts of the author are distorted. It almost reminds me of how American nationalists deify the "founding fathers". (Typically to push some outmoded, traditionalist agenda onto the masses by law.)
When I look back on how much of Tolkien’s work that I've read and enjoyed, from The Silmarillion to The Return of the King, and I look at how many of the adaptations I've watched on screen (the cartoons, the live action trilogy, suffered through the Hobbit films, and now I quite enjoy the Rings of Power), I know deep down that I am a fan because I thoroughly enjoy the content that this world of middle earth has inspired. Whether it inspired J.R.R. Tolkien, Peter Jackson, or the creators of the cartoons as well as the live action Amazon prime series, this world is rife with storytelling possibilities.
Isn't that what stories become? There are so many variations on folk fairy tales in of themselves. Hell, as I mentioned, I was named after one and then centuries later an anti-semite composed an opera about it! No one begrudged him for that.
Greek myths became cartoons, European fantasy folk tales became mass marketed table top games, and an overwhelming number of Japanese lore has been adapted into manga comics, video games, and anime cartoons.
And this trend of human storytelling and adaptation will continue until the sun swallows us up. Yes it will.
And yet... the "hardcore" Tolkien fanbase... it hasn't changed in my lifetime.
At the end of the day, they are still that 14 year old little boy yelling over the class discussion.
