A Modern Hobbit AU,

Except the Company is a band with Thorin as the lead Guitarist/singer and founder of the band. Gandalf is their Manager.

The plot is that they need a lead singer for the tour they’re about to go on, and Gandalf remembers his old friends son who had an amazing voice.

He shows up with the band at Bilbos house, they throw a rave and convince him to go on tour with them. They don’t believe that he’s as good of a singer as Gandalf says until they actually hear him sing.

Thorin doesn’t think he fits in with their aesthetic, but then accidentally falls in love with Bilbo.

If nobody draws this then I’m gonna lose it, im going to do it myself, but I hope to see someone else’s interpretation.

Precisely

BAGGINSHIELD HEADCANONS

COOKING SKILLS

Thorin - He's good at cooking dishes that don't require many steps. Simple things like pasta, eggs, meat...

Bilbo - An experienced cook, he's really good at desserts. Likes to keep a clean kitchen while he cooks.

PAST RELATIONSHIPS

Neither for the two of them. They are akward middle-aged men, virgins. Bilbo is too shy to admit that his only romantic knowledge comes from books.

SHOW OF AFFECTION

Thorin- He's more likely to use gestures rather than words. He likes to buy Bilbo expensive things.

Bilbo- He is more prone to using words, He also enjoys using the written word, writing poetry and praises to Thorin.

They are both embarrassed to show affection in public but feel safe when they are alone or with close people.

THANK YOU!!! I needed this reassurance so bad, I’ll tell you why later 🤫🧏‍♀️

Sam calling out to Gollum asking him whether he would like to be the hero for a change feels tragic when you know what follows is a betrayal because for this one fraction of a moment, there was genuine friendliness from Sam's side towards Sméagol. For this one moment , Sméagol, the pathetic little creature who shunned the world and was shunned by it in return, belonged. Not to the hopelessness he had surrendered himself to long ago but with Frodo and Sam. And he wasn't there to witness it. He had made his choice. Kind of mirrors reality in a way. Not all those who wander are lost and, sometimes, even those who are lost can be found. Some are lucky enough to have that one helping hand extended to them which can pull them out of the abyss. Sadly, not everyone ends up noticing it and taking it every time.
