da

I thought the book Elven-king was worse what with him imprisoning Thorin for no particular reason other than "I smell treasure" and not telling him his mates had survived so he'd break easier.

I don't know what edition of the book you read, but Thranduil never imprisoned Thorin because he wanted in on the gold. Thorin believed Thranduil will want a share of the gold and thus refused to tell Thranduil anything but "we were starving". Thranduil is oblivious who Thorin is and what he was doing there.

Instead, Thranduil He imprisons Thorin because Thorin's company have trepassed into his lands, seemingly attacked Thranduil's people at their feasts and refuse to tell him who they are and what they're doing in his lands. And let's not forget that Thranduil's halls are situated amongst lands infested with giant spiders and next door to Sauron, and his people almost completely isolated and have a very poor history with dwarves, so he has every right to be suspicious of strangers - not even necessarily strange dwarves - turning up in his lands and refusing to tell him anything about why they're there. It's just common sense: if you're next door neighbours with Sauron, you're very careful unless you want to wake up one morning to find a Nazgul in your bathtub. Look at how many cities Gondor lost.

OMG I'm laughing so hard at this. And now I'm imagining a "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" type situation, except substitute Nazgul for mouse, and maybe souls for cookies and it's taking place in either Thranduil's palace or maybe Minas Ithil ...

"Dad, there's a Nazgul in the bathtub."
"Dang it, Legolas! What did I tell you about leaving food out?"

Thanks for writing all of this so I didn't have to. And here I thought "Evil Thranduil" had been replaced by "Fab Thranduil" in fandom. Guess he's still around.

Also, LOL at the Nazgul line.
