hi I guess
If you are living right now in 2023 and are still a big fan of LOTR please reblog bro where are my fellow Tolkienites (Tolkieneers?)
Trying to find a couple hobbit fics, please help
Ok so, I remember one fic a little better than the other, but Ill list all the details i know about them. Take some details with a grain of salt, my memory is pretty bad, and I have accidentally mixed up details before.
They were both AO3 fics for sure, and im pretty sure both were bagginshield and everybody lives aua.
In the one I remember better, Bilbo was staying in erebor, i think post botfa. He is working with the men and dwarves under thorins orders to help teach farming and get some farms and gardens going to provide food for everyone. In particular I remember him working with bards advisor. Theres some unrest among the dwarves over thinking of gardening as beneath them. And later in the story both Bilbo and Ori are kidnapped by the advisor and a bunch of other guys. Ori was only taken because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The advisor is actually pretty nice to them, because he has nothing against them, he just really needs the ransom money. The advisor dude is later killed by the other guys after an escape attempt by ori and bilbo. I think thorin and dwalin find the two in rough shape while trying to rescue them?
The one I remember less of is mostly just one particular scene that stuck with me, where bilbo was in erebor, and explaining to a dwarf/dwarves (probably thorin, some company members, and/or Dis) that hobbits can grow their faunts in gardens, and that they can have kids with other races. And if a hobbit has children with someone from another race, that ability to grow kids doesn't dilute. I think I recall him saying that the dwarves of another mountain actually have a lot of hobbit lineage in them due to their proximity to the shire resulting in hobbit/dwarf relationships. So the dwarves of that mountain can use gardens to keep up a decent population, and they have terraces along the side of the mountain for that purpose. Of course, given that the gardens are for growing children they are well guarded. I don't remember many other story details. The best I've got is that i'm pretty sure it was a bagginshield story, and that bilbo was probably going to have kids in that story. though whether that was via the garden method or the usual way I'm not sure.
I think both fics were multiple chapters long, and i think the first one was complete? please help me find these, I have spent a while searching all the relevant tags i could think of, along with my subscriptions and bookmarks.
My dad used to read it to me and my brother. He had to start again twice because we'd go on holidays and forget the whole plot cause he didn't take the book with him. We managed to get through it in the end.
for context: I read the hobbit first over the course of two years when I was like 13, but I'm only now starting to read lotr. having a blast tho!
anyways, reblog if you feel like it 🙌🏻
One thing that will never not be hilarious to me is my mom once telling me my dad hadn't met any gay people before meeting my mom and her gay brother and her gay friends.
What my mother meant to tell me was that my FATHER who has a group of UNMARRIED MALE FRIENDS OVER FIFTY, who has watched the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW LIVE at least twice, who is into DnD, Star Trek and Tolkien, has NEVER, EVER met a gay person in his life before meeting you.
And the worst part? He probably believes that too!!!
My point is that you've met a lot of gay people, you just didn't know they were gay.
Hobbit-related art from 2018-2020 that I apparently never posted. Yes that last one is my Hobbitsona™. Sometimes my whole life feels like a quest to draw Tolkien things better than I was able when I first read the books as a teenager with a tenuous grasp on human anatomy. (descriptions in alt text)
