Gimli making sure the hobbits are always warm, grumbling about their “ridiculous lack of insulation” while secretly tucking extra blankets around them at night.
Gimli telling Legolas stories of Erebor, watching with satisfaction as the elf actually listens with genuine interest.
Gimli subtly keeping an eye on Boromir, recognizing the weight of duty in his stance and understanding it more than he lets on.
Gimli showing Pippin how to properly hold an axe, despite muttering that it’s “too big for a hobbit” (but still making sure it fits him well).
Gimli standing guard with Aragorn, sharing quiet words about fallen kin, kings, and the legacies they carry.
Gimli speaking gently to Frodo when he sees the exhaustion in his eyes, reminding him that even the strongest stone needs rest.
Gimli taking the time to properly sharpen everyone’s weapons, because “if we’re fighting for our lives, we may as well do it properly.”
Gimli proving, time and time again, that he is more than just a warrior—he is a friend, a shield, and a heart as unyielding as the mountains he calls home.

After Elrond's house, Bilbo doesn't get a good look at the state of his hair again until they reach Laketown. By that point, it's grown a lot longer than he usually keeps it, and it takes three washes with hot water and soap for it to feel even close to its old silky softness. He's quite self-conscious about the length, feeling like he's too old to wear it so long, so when he joins the Dwarves for dinner that night, he immediately scolds them all - 'Why did nobody tell me that my hair was in such a state? I must get it cut while we're here.'
And all of the Dwarves are quite shocked, because of the cultural implications of one cutting their hair voluntarily. But Thorin is affected the worst. His head whips around towards Bilbo so fast that Kili will later swear that he heard the King's neck crack, and Bilbo is quite alarmed when Thorin just stares right at him with his eye twitching like, 'Hair ... Cut?!?'

Do you think Radagast ever goes to Thranduil’s palace to complain about the state of Mirkwood. “Hey there’s spiders. There’s too many spiders. Ecologically speaking your forest (if it can really be said to be yours) cannot support this level of spiders. Also what the hell is in the river water. I sent it off for testing and the lab guy yelled at me over the phone. Are you listening to me.”

I need more Bilbo braid-based custody battle fanfics, like the Sleeping Beauty joke where the fairies kept changing her dress to be blue or pink. Give me one of the Ri or Ur brothers bestowing the first olive branch of culture sharing, give me suspicion then begrudging acceptance then jealousy, give me the dwarves tripping over themselves after bathtime trying to get to Bilbo first so they get to put their family braid pattern, give me a smug Thorin who oh so happened to be bathing in the same area and beat them all to it (I’m lying, Thorin would never have the guts, it would be the most unlikely character for it, someone who was initially skeptical like Dwalin or Gloin) give me a bewildered Bilbo (who has been discretely sharing family recipes and history the whole time, adopting them in the shire-manner, but all hobbits are hundreds of miles away so who’s gonna tell on him?)
