I think burying Thorin with the Arkenstone was kind of a dick move on behalf of the dwarves.
Imagine how gut wrenching it is for Bilbo to watch Thorin being buried with the thing he almost murdered Bilbo for taking, the thing that drove him to his madness, to his death and the death of his nephew’s.

this stupid scene right here.
(this scene haunts me. when the question of thranduil's motive for showing up is raised, HE brings up that Bard's people need help, HE implies that he came to give that help, HE delivers on this by actually bringing food for the starving, freezing, broke homeless humans, and then he still says that it's not why he showed up??? WHY IS HE SAYING THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE JUST SAID
This would make sense if Bard was the one who inferred that Thranduil is here to help and Thranduil coldly dispelled that notion, but no!! It's literally Thranduil who brings up the saving only to then dismiss it as irrelevant. WHY DID HE BRING IT UP IF HE THINKS IT'S IMMATERIAL AND HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT IT??
And why oh why would he be giving them food in the first place if he doesn't care about them at all.
This is such a transparent way to have the necessary deus ex machina food-wise while making sure Bard will never reference this in his talks with Thorin, or Gandalf, or Thranduil or Bilbo. I mean it's also not like Thorin's beef with Thranduil in the movies specifically has to do with him not helping desperate dragon-displaced refugees or anything right - yknow, something that Thranduil is now doing while Thorin is the one turning them away. Nope, we're not gonna go into any of this? What it might mean about the two of them as people, good or bad? No? We're still meant to take "I've seen how you treat your friends" as the gospel truth assessment of Thranduil's character? WELL OKAY THEN.)
(still not how you pronounce 'long will i tarry ere i begin this war for gold' by the way)

Can we talk about the time Thranduil told Bard to save his people and not fight against the dwarves when they obviously weren't equipped for it? Because I thought that was pretty cool for someone who says he doesn't give a fuck about other peoples.

Tauriel: "Why does it hurt so much?"
Thranduil: "Because it was real."
Me: Nah, king, don't enable her. Do not enable her ass, she barely knew the man!
