Princess and knight 🌿✨
I wanted to do the animal version of Arwen and Aragorn, but I had make them an other story in my mind x), I hope I will do more of them soon because I really like them! 🦌
My favorite Lord of the Rings headcannon is just that the hobbits spent the entire trip to Rivendell, badgering Aragorn to eat like four annoying grandmothers. Like, Aragorn is a ranger who's been living off pine needles and power of will for the last decade, and these are the guys who are having eight square meals a day.
"Well now, Strider what would you have ol' Sam whip you up?"
"Nothing. I'm good."
"So just some toast and eggs then?"
"No. Nothing."
"You have to have *something*, here I'll make you some porridge."
"No! I'm not hungry."
"...Should I just reheat the leftovers then?"
And Aragorn is like "What's a leftover?" And all four of the hobbits just gasp in horror, and start muttering about no wonder he's so thin.
i wish ao3 allowed people to give kudos per each chapter. These 100k word NOVELS need more love than 200 tiny digital hearts ☹️
“I’m going back to my roots”
Reading fanfic of the ship that has consumed me since I was literally 12
it's criminal how precious lego fili is
Absolutely illegal to be this full of sunshine and full of knives
Small child Fili is insistent on sleeping with his knife collection at night and has even taken to sneaking them under his pillows and Dis and Thorin are at their wits end bc he keeps nicking himself in his sleep and whats more Kili will outgrow his crib soon and need to share Fili’s bed and knives added to the mix is just a disaster waiting to happen. They try to coax Fili and get him to leave his knives on the nightstand (“look, you can still see them right there, ok dear?”) but nothing works and he’s a shrieking mess and wont go to sleep for ANYTHING but his knives.
Everyone is at their wit’s end when its Dwalin who comes up with a solution: using his sewing skills (which are actually pretty good, even Dori thinks so) he fashions a bean-filled doll that resembles the knife Fili’s father gave him (the prize of Fili’s collection, naturally) and gives it to the lad. Everyone holds their breath and thinks its not gonna work but Fili is over the moon and the doll is his new best friend (after Kili of course).
He takes it everywhere and tries to feed it soup at dinner and of course he sleeps with it, being extra careful to keep his collection on the nightstand so his doll doesn’t get hurt. He names it Zugragur (khuzdul constructed diminutive of blade, so like “Bladey”) and he still has it to this day
Movie only fans lose out on the narration calling Thorin “important”, “enormously important”, so many times that it reads like ribbing when the book repeatedly humbles him. More Bilbo sarcastically calling Thorin “important” in Bagginshield fics, please!
The Bard is At It again!*

Since it’s pretty canon and both Kili and thorin were less then attractive to their own people, do you think the fact that they both ended up with partners outside of their race turned into like a royal talking point?
Like they’re just living life then some asshole is like “you’re so ugly you couldn’t even get a dwarf to love you” type shit
Idk I’m just thinking of potential assholes to put into fanfics for drama, take it however you want
ones in a dream I met you

Happy winter solstice!!
based off of a fic I’m putting together in which Bilbo is given a white raven named Ronu as a courting gift ❄️✨
War of the Rohirrim was fucking great.
Tbh, if you don’t think Bilbo Baggins is a little shit, you haven’t read the stunt he pulled when he left his belongings to his relatives after he left the Shire:
Dora, your advice is trash With love, Bilbo
I mean, seriously, the little shit
I cry
B.B.
B. fucking B.
*throws all the shade, Baggins style*
yall the comedy wildlife photography results are coming out atm and
look
LOOK AT THIS LIL MAN
THANK YOU BRIAN MATTHEWS HOLY SHIT HES GOT SUCH A CASE OF THE MONDAYS
culture shock
Bilbo, crouching over in pain : Owwww
Thorin, panicked : What happened?!
Bilbo : ... Nothing
Thorin : I promise to stay calm if you tell me
Bilbo : I stubbed my toe on a table
Thorin, holding an axe : Which table?!?!
The road goes ever on and on…
…and Thorin Oakenshield will pass into legend.
I feel like being a Hobbit is the ultimate lifestyle. (At least for me)
Think about it:
Considered a child until age 33
Live in cute little hills with beautiful wood work
Spending your days gardening, eating, drinking, and gossiping
Excellent Wardrobe
Receiving gifts on others's birthdays and giving others gifts on your birthday (I just like giving gifts, so this might just be a thing I like)
And every once and a while a kinda wacky old wizard takes one (or a few) of you on a world saving quest
Sounds pretty good to me!
What’s with all the archers in trees?
Shooting arrows from up a tree is all fun and games until you need to retrieve them!

Here’s the thing.
Many Bagginshield shippers, especially in fics, focus on how Bilbo never got over Thorin, to the point where some describe Bilbo’s entire life as sad and empty and unfulfilled because of that loss.
Don’t get me wrong: I do agree that he suffered terrible loss and undeserved torment by the Ring. And the fact that he never married probably did have some connection to the memory of Thorin.
But, y’all, don’t forget or ignore the fact that, in Tolkien’s text, Bilbo does move on from grief and live the rest of his life well.
He does not become bitter from his pain. He retains his kind heart.
He is generous with his wealth, helping in every way he can the very community that ostracizes him.
He sees in Frodo a kindred spirit and takes it upon himself to be the parental figure that Frodo so badly needs as an orphan.
He and Frodo develop an uncle-nephew (really more like father-son) relationship built on trust, keeping no secrets from each other, to the level where he tells Frodo the truth about his encounter with Gollum. (And probably the truth about his feelings for Thorin, too.)
He and Frodo have so much fun, going for walks every day, studying the Elvish languages, and throwing big birthday parties to show the community a good time. It’s plain to see that caring for Frodo filled that massive void inside Bilbo, finally giving him someone to love and devote himself to looking after, after his first chance at that (albeit the first being a different kind of love) was taken from him.
He does not see himself as superior to the lower class despite his riches, and always treats the Gamgees with the utmost respect.
He teaches Sam to read and write.
He tells his story to the younger hobbits, inspiring more of them to want to learn more about the outside world and not be so sheltered and ignorant…an effort which ultimately saves Middle-earth because the Travelers learn from him to be curious and interested in the lands outside the Shire, and he inspires them daily, as they constantly say to themselves “if Bilbo could go there and back again despite great danger, so can we.”
He even learns to love having a tarnished reputation, ultimately taking advantage of being “mad” to play a fun prank.
When he is no longer at rest in the Shire, he gifts Frodo all his property which will ensure Frodo is set for life, and through all his passive aggressive gifts to his relatives, he gives the Gaffer genuinely useful items that he knows will help him, including ointment for creaky joints.
He gets a peaceful retirement among his Elven friends, which he spends writing his memoir so that future generations will know all about his lost friends.
And ultimately, he embraces the special gift of an exception from the Valar and rare permission to set foot in the Blessed Realm for one last adventure, where he will continue to look after his beloved nephew.
And the fact is, he never would’ve gotten any of these things if he’d stayed in Erebor. He would never have developed that special bond with Frodo - he may never have even met him - and consequently, Frodo may never have met Sam.
Yes, a lot of his life was lonely and somber. But much more of it, even after experiencing such a tragedy, was full of love and joy and fun and excitement. He became an invaluable caretaker and mentor to the next generation of hobbits, got a taste of fatherhood, passed on his expertise and his story, and spent his last years surrounded by friends and family.
Bilbo Baggins may have lost the love of his life, but he did not give up on life itself, and he lived a full one. Don’t forget that.
More Dwobbit Frodo! This time it’s baby Frodo with his adad! I was given on discord the idea dwarves wearing baby wraps to carry their babies with them and I loved it so much I just knew I had to draw Thorin carrying Frodo in one. In the first one Frodos maybe 1 years old? His crazy amount of hair is explained by his dwarven genes lmfaoo. In the second one he’s maybe a few months old. Anyway- I love the trope of a tough guy with a small babe, that’s literally them.
