I love the hair braiding trope, but there is some serious debate about whether it's dwarves who have the hair-braiding customs or elves, so I'm here to settle that once and for all.
Legolas, hoping they just seem friendly and doesn't know dwarves have the same hair customs: Hey Gimli, could I help with your hair?
Gimli, hoping he just seems friendly and doesn't know elves have the same hair customs: Uh, sure!
Aragorn, who knows that hair braiding is romantic for both elves and dwarves: ......... WHat

every single elf who sees Gimli and Legolas thinks of them as "the weird elf prince and his dwarf boyfriend" but to the dwarves they are "Gimli The Sex Symbol and his cringefail elf boyfriend"

Now imagining Legolas picking up a normal and very standard rock for Gimli and saying, "Is this a good one? The kind you like?" in a similar way to sending links via DMs to your most beloved mutuals that lead to fandom posts relating to their unfamiliar and strange Blorbos, who you know nothing about and cannot see the appeal of.

My favorite sneaky Tolkien thing is how he signals that Gimli & Legolas are becoming better & better friends by repeatedly writing this scene:
Gimli: That thing frightens/concerns/annoys me. You are the greatest archer I have ever seen. Shoot it.
Legolas - not consulting kings, heirs to thrones, or wizards: On it, my love.

“he was my friend”
“what about fighting side by side with a friend”
people sure use “friend” in a funny way when referring to their dwarf lovers
