Bagginshield - Blog Posts

Somebody NEEDS to do a Hobbit animatic of 'Téir Abhaile Riú' by Celtic Women where:

The girl who wants to go with the sailors is Bilbo

The people that are telling the girl to stay are the other hobbits in the shire with their judgy mf faces

The sailors are the dwarfs

Galway is Erebor

The spoons - 'pick up your spoons, He's waiting to hear you play them' - are conkers coz Bilbo can play conkers

Bonus points if it's Bagginshield

Please I need this

I love fandoms. I love seeing fanarts for character's birthdays, I love AUs and genderbending, I love going at con and seeing people dressed up how they love, I love the way people unite through fanfictions, I love shipping characters, I love inside jokes, I love edits and animatics, I love headcannons, I love ten page long character analysis and theories, I love fan playlists, I love content creators on Tumblr. I love fandoms.

I have never had a normal thought since I realised Aragorn/Estel would have been around 10 years old — more like 7/8 considering his heritage — when Thorin's Company passes through Rivendell, so here are some brainrot headcanons (continued under the cut):

Estel is obsessed with Thorin. Just completely obsessed. Follows him around everywhere like a cat, begs him to play with him, offers to run errands for him. Literally every elf in Rivendell is completely stunned at the behaviour because Estel is, normally, a card-carrying ankle-biter.

The Dwarves, on the other hand, are shocked by the fact that by a few days into the visit, Thorin seems to like Estel too. Gloin would have sworn that he expected Thorin to throw the child off the banisters the minute he made him hold his pet python. Thorin didn't just hold said snake, but played with him, let him do little odd jobs, even letting him sit up with him at the dining halls. On two evenings, he even takes Estel out with a wooden sword, to show him how to "fight like a Dwarf lord". All the Dwarves are just as shook as the elves, minus Kili and Fili, who knew Thorin as Uncle Thorin and are completely unsurprised that he is so wonderful with little Estel.

Lindir and Elrond find a content python snoozing in Elrond's study. Lindir and Elrond are both utterly and irrationally terrified of snakes. After much screaming and climbing on sofas, every member of staff swears Estel had been in his mother's quarters all day. Nobody thinks to mention that they saw Bilbo and Thorin hanging about outside the study, because what relevance could that possibly have?

When the company left Rivendell, Estel was understandably quite unhappy because he'd miss them, also they were going to see a dragon, and he begged to go with them. Thorin does what most parents do before going on a trip, and promises to bring him a present from the dragon's lair when they returned.

Bilbo returns without Thorin, but with the promised present for Estel. He visits the boy in his quarters and they hold each other and share their grief. Bilbo then shows him the present. He explains how Thorin wanted to give him something more substantial than a golden cup scraped off the floor of a dragon's lair — he had told Bilbo, the night before the battle, to give the boy Thorin's own solid gold wristband.

On the same return trip, Elrond expressed his condolences over Thorin's death, and enquired if there were other casualties. When he finds out that Kili and Fili had also died in the battle, a strange, terrible expression twisted across his face and he said, almost reflexively, both? both together? good. that's good. The remaining Dwarves and Bilbo were all stunned, thinking it was Elvish apathy at best, and deliberate disrespect at worst. After all, they had no reason to know that Elrond, like his immortal brethren, found it somewhat difficult to gauge the ages of mortal beings — and had thought the two late brothers were twins.

Decades later on the night before the Fellowship were set to depart, the elderly Bilbo Baggins found it hard to sleep from worry, and wandered onto the balcony, and saw a lone man practicing sword moves in the courtyard. He realises both man and combat style seem faintly familiar, like the heavy striding and swinging and slashing are the steps to an old dance he once used to know, which now lives in a deep, forgotten place within him, under layers of unravelling memories. He can't quite put his finger on it. But there is a strange comfort in the sight, so soothing Bilbo's eyes start to close, falling asleep curled up right there on the balcony. He slips off into a wonderful old dream, lulled by the rhythm of fallen leaves crunching in the courtyard — where Aragorn "fights like a dwarf", solid gold wristband twinkling under the light of the stars.

rewatching lotr, and rewatched the hobbit trilogy like 2 weeks ago, and i must say. i love this franchise for all its “i knew a guy who knew a guy” relations. like to give just one example, gimli presumes for a second, like the whole fellowship, that frodo got injured by the cave troll in moria. but he’s actually just fine! because frodo just happens to be gimli’s dad’s boss’s situationship’s nephew, and therefore has the mithril shirt that gimli’s dad’s boss gave to his situationship right before gimli’s dad’s boss led the company to battle against, among others, legolas’s dad. legolas’s old situationship from like last year (60 years ago) was also there and chose, get this, gimli’s dad’s boss’s nephew over him. i love yall

it's just me and my gay fanfics against the world

gay people can never say 'I love you' it's always gotta be some shit like "I have never been so wrong, in all my life"

the reason I love alternating POV bagginshield is because Bilbo is always thinking, oh I have such a crush on Thorin I need to stamp this out this could never happen I need to get over this and I’m just happy he finally considers me a friend and meanwhile Thorin is like, Bilbo my beloved, my most treasured, my One, why is he not responding to my very circuitous and secret dwarven courting customs, I’ve already picked out our wedding colors

Beautiful commission for my Beauty and the Beast inspired fic, Dragonhearted [E], done by the always amazing, @smolestboop!!! Thank you for capturing just how sweet and dopey these fellas are!!

Thorin lives a life of solitude since Smaug’s curse fell upon Erebor. That is, until a brave hobbit turns the mountain upside down with little fear of Thorin’s snarls, scales and enchanted company, and learns to love a beast. (Explicit, Complete, 83k)

my brain is filled with au where thorin is considered unattractive by dwarven standards, bilbo thinks hes handsome, and is pining after him, but thorin is in the classic situation of having to get married and dealing with lots of suitors and theres a bit in there about bilbo hearing some of the dwarrowdams gossiping about how thorin is "ugly" and bilbo being like WHAT

I had the pleasure of drawing a sweet, romantic scene for @wolfsbane-and-nettles's story Chosen Horizons. Go give it a read!

A collaborative project with @fantasyinallforms (the story can be found here) for @fellowshipofthefics.

a quiet, snowy night in Erebor, my gift for huorn on ao3 for @haveahappyhobbitholiday

just a hobbit and his dwarf

its 2020 and ive only just watched the hobbit trilogy and im just so happy that it ended with thorin retiring to the shire and raising little pebble frodo with his husband ✨

Thorin: How do I make a date really romantic?

Balin: Be mysterious.

Thorin: Okay!

*later*

Bilbo: So where are we going?

Thorin: None of your fucking business.

Getting our dear burglar comfortable is always the priority!

Uh oh, Bilbo is about to break his husband.

Day 1 of bagginshield-tober: breakfast 🥞

Is Thorin’s turn making breakfast today, but i fear that he can’t concentrate because someone won’t stop staring at him…

Frodo is too sleepy to notice that his uncles are being (as everyone else says) "so in love it hurts" in front of him.

🌱 mushy bagginshield hour!!! share with me any headcanons you have on bilbo and thorin being together. I wanna read your soft headcanons, silliness and fluff encouraged! (heck, throw in some angst while we're at it shhdjdd) 🌱

All the growing things and you by my side

We are just little transparent fellows! (decided to include this too eheheh)

I wrote a Thilbo fic if you want to check it out!

You know that scene between Kili and Tauriel where he’s in so much pain he’s delirious and thinks he’s imagining that she’s there with him in Lake-town?

This is that but it’s Bilbo and Thorin on Ravenhill

Hobbit ✨ everybody lives au ✨ where Bilbo stays to help rebuild Erebor but he and Thorin are still dancing around each other and their feelings and the company is tired of it so one day Fili and Kili tell Bilbo he really should braid his hair, to be more respectful of dwarven customs of course, and Bilbo may not exactly be a respectable hobbit anymore but he still has manners thank you, so after a bit of practice and failed attempts he does just that. The next day he greets Thorin with a bright smile, proud to show his interest in the company’s culture, but Thorin freezes and looks practically murderous and Fili and Kili are laughing to themselves of course but definitely hiding, and everyone around takes at least two steps back from Thorin who feels as though he has just had a mountain dropped on him because WHO IN MAHAL’S NAME BRAIDED BILBO’S HAIR WHO HAS BEEN COURTING HIS HOBBIT WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE

“They’re so cute.”

I finally got the book of 'the hobbit', but i also have a bagginshield fanfic just sitting there waiting to be read, and in the middle of me procesing how this came to be an actual struggle in my life i realized that the fanfic was longer than the actual book.

Is the sun bothering you bilbo?

thorin would probably hurl a bolder at the sun if bilbo complained about the hot weather

Bilbo: Oh go fuck yourself! Thorin: I'd rather fuck you, please! Bilbo, now confused: W-What ?! Kíli, from the other side of the room: HE SAID HE'D RATHER FUCK YOU! Fíli, next to Kíli: HE SAID PLEASE TOO!
