I don't think the fandom talks enough about how traumatizing the mines of Moria must've been for the hobbits.
And I'm not referring to Gandalf's death (this is actually quite discussed), that's "oh no, they've killed grandpa".
I'm talking about the members of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield they've found dead. The hobbits grew up listening to the tales of their adventure and their extraordinary deeds.
That's "fuck they've killed the Avengers".

"one fifteenth century recipe contains the word "Chickens" four times-with four different spellings, of which the first is "Schyconys.""
excuse me medieval people but what the fuck

When you're so used to being naughty that it wouldn't be Christmas without a bit of coal! ...Also it's quite the commodity in the apocalypse.
Yes I do see the irony in putting a quick pause on the Replica Holiday Special to make this, but it felt wrong not to do something for this day! I was hoping to post a holiday special but it'll be a few more days since my Covid messed up my schedule even further! Regardless, Merry Christmas everyone! I'm so grateful for you all!
