this is not a fully formed thought but I feel like if anywhere on middle earth would have something akin to homeowners associations it would be Hobbiton
What I love about the use of the "Concerning Hobbits" theme in An Unexpected Journey
is that after Bilbo leaves on his adventure, it's used at least three times in scenes that aren't so much Bilbo-centric, or about the Shire, but more about underlining the strengths of the Shire in and of itself.
In Galadriel and Gandalf's "Why the Halfling?" scene, Gandalf notably and indirectly praises the Hobbit folk for their everyday lives of goodness, connection, and being able to get at and live the heart of what really matters in life. And when Bilbo spares Gollum's life? That music is a clear callout to who he really is and where he comes from, which is to say, his inner goodness and his mercy, which carries huge ramifications across both trilogies. And the mercy is not just a Bilbo thing. Frodo also spares Gollum's life multiple times. So does Sam in the novel close to the entrance of Mount Doom, which gives Gollum the chance to slip inside the entrance, meet Frodo, and ultimately bring the One Ring to its end. Mercy, even when indulging it may be foolish or too softhearted to some, seems to be well-baked into the Hobbit culture (and logically there’s little reason why it wouldn’t be), and the use of the theme during Bilbo's change-of-heart moment further suggests that.
And when Bilbo's "Look, I know you doubt me" speech to Thorin just before Azog appears? There's a great breakdown of how this scene showcases Bilbo's kindness in what he says and offers to Thorin here: Bilbo exhibits empathy (and can be understood to implicitly forgive Thorin for his earlier scathing comments) and offers Thorin all the help he can give on a woefully undermanned (underDwarfed), extremely dangerous mission without demanding anything in return. Among other things. It's extraordinarily radical, especially to Thorin in his situation, and yet quietly so. It’s a great example of a Hobbit at his best and tapping into his inner nature in a really effective way. And guess what plays during this speech? The "Concerning Hobbits" theme. It's easy to say "Well, these scenes involve Bilbo in some way and tend to reference the Shire, so of course they'd use the Shire theme," and although that's true, it goes so much deeper than that. Being used the way it is once they leave the Shire, it undergoes a subtle shift we don’t often see in the trilogies where a place-type theme no longer functions purely to recall the location itself. When the Shire theme appears in these scenes, it’s ultimately not so much about Bilbo being Bilbo or even the Shire as a physical place as it is about using the theme very intentionally to underscore the quiet, understated goodness of the people within it, which ends up influencing the One Ring's eventual fate in major ways. Because when the world gets dark, it's that kind of instinctual goodness that does, in fact, keep things from getting darker.
Happy Hobbbit Day, one candidate for Bilbo and Frodo's birthday, by a certain interpretation of the Shire-reckoning
Unfortunately, the concept of attending the Hobbit LARP holds so much dopamine.
Like, im struggling to keep myself grounded in how much time I have before it happens and in how long I need to wait before I can start preparing in detail.
Hell, I won't even have the money to start buying supplies for a whole month.
And yet,

It has been so long since I have read The Hobbit, so I don’t remember if this is already canon, but in my head, the reason the Hobbits eat so often is less of a gluttony and more of a “oh fuck our silly lil metabolisms are so damn fast, i need something hearty STAT,” which then evolved into a culture that prioritizes and maximizes the efficiency of gastronomy.
name a more comforting piece of music than "Concerning Hobbits" by Howard Shore
A pet peeve that has been bugging me lately is this trend I've noticed online of assuming Hobbit pipeweed is...well. Weed. Jazz Cabbage. Reefer. The Devil's Lettuce. Marijuana. And I think this stems entirely from Saruman's line about how "love of the halflings' leaf has slowed your mind". (Which might be original to the films, it's been a while since I read the books.)
And like...it's not. It's explicitly not. In the prologue to Fellowship of the Ring Tolkien says it's tobacco. The hobbits are basically Victorian country gentlemen which is why they have tomatoes for a full English breakfast and potatoes for fish and chips and tobacco for a good post-meal pipe.
I know it's fairly small in the grand scheme of things, but it vexes me so.
