maedhros: *gives opinion*
maedhros: on the other hand, which i do not possess anymore,
No you don’t understand. I unironically believe that this is how he dismisses ideas he thinks are stupid.
“On one hand [his own, sensible idea]. On the other hand *tries to gesture with right hand, looks comically surprised* oh, whoops”
maedhros does this during a war council and everyone present gives high king fingon their death stare as he is the only one laughing
I’m inappropriately fond of this as well.
Maitimo laughed, loud and harsh, making his brothers wince. “What did Father fight for? Many things, of course, but I for my part have sworn an Oath that makes no mention of the crown. It does mention the Silmarils, and to win them, we need a far greater force than we have or ever will have as long as the Noldor follow two different kings.”
“But on the other hand–” Tyelkormo began, but he was cut short at once:
“I have no other hand.”I mean, Beren shamelessly uses his handicap for dramatic emphasis, so why wouldn’t Maedhros!
