Sometimes I just think... maybe after death, Thorin is watching over Erebor from above. Keeping an eye on things.
The Consort of Erebor
It seems that after the quest, no one in the company wears golden jewelry, opting instead for humble wooden beads.
I do prefer cartoon ish style in my works, but the consort deserves a lot more than that.
They’re so old couple coded, I honestly missed drawing them like this 😭
No clue if this has been done before but here’s the original (by frfrongg on x)
I don’t know what this trope is but I’m starting to love it
Bilbo: How sad🙄💅
Maybe stop being rude and don’t steal his spoons
Savage Bilbo is the best Bilbo
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins: Well, if it isn't Little Bilbo Sunshine.
Bilbo: Little Bilbo Sunshine died. I'm Little Bilbo Go Fuck Yourself.
Guess I'm the burgler for 13 dwarfs off to the Lonely Mountain i go
Jod na nawood: I lived in a hole in the ground when she (a jedi) found me!!!!
Me: 🤨 in a hole in the ground??? There lived a hobbit????
Dain Aetos? The bitch from the Ironhills? Where'd he get Gil-Galad’s spear???
Been working on my Hobbit project for school, it’s hard to do it since I gotta get this done before Valentines Day AND GETTING THE BACKGROUND MUSIC SINCE ITS A PRESENTATION 😭
Pray for me guys 😭😭
So if yall didn’t know, in The Hobbit book, Thranduil had the Dwarves locked up for approximately weeks, and Bilbo was just invisible and wandering in the palace the entire time, vibing miserably.
My headcanon, therefore, is that the Mirkwood Elves now have a local legend about a ghost haunting Thranduil’s palace, never seen but generally thought to be harmless. Thranduil scoffs at the idea, but has been seen glancing around at the dark corners of rooms. Legolas fully believes in it and is known to say hello out loud when he enters an empty room, in case the ghost is nearby.
It’s not until Legolas joins the Fellowship that he figures out that the supposed ghost was actually an invisible Bilbo the whole time. He never tells Thranduil, because he thinks it’s funny to see his regal father unnerved by the idea of a ghost.
Similarities Between Myself and Bilbo Baggins
Main survival instinct is to bullshit my way out of a situation
Would rather be eccentric uncle than responsible parent
Would use the One Ring to get out of seeing family members
In times of strife, thinking of food is a source of comfort
Would never stop complaining, even as I became a true adventurer
Would sleep through an entire battle
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.
As much as I like the Hobbit movies in their own right, I love the books a lot more.
So when I’m writing Legolas and Tauriel by choice into my fics, I have fun with it.
Cause screw ‘high and mighty awesome Legolas’ that’s not who he is, he’s a childish little twink who falls head over heels in love with a Dwarf.
I also like fixing his and Tauriel relationship. In my stories Legolas follows her around like a little duckling, he follows her lead when they’re outside the palace.
She’s fixing her bow in front of the fire while his heads in her lap, whining about how weird and overbearing his dad is. He’s glancing up at her whenever he’s talking to someone new, waiting for her nod of approval.
They are Exasperated Big Sister and Autistic Homeschooled Little Brother fr and I fw it.
Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?
Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.
Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.
Then Gimli sat alone.
I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏♀️
First drawing I’ve ever shared on Tumblr is a quick Bilbo sketch that I just found funny
I have an opinion of Rings of Power.
But hear me out because I am commonly known for being in the grey area of a lot of things. I like having that open mind and that’s what I say with this.
I’ve heard a lot of hatred for Rings of Power, and I get it, it’s not something straight from Tolkien, it’s a rendition.
But hear me out when I say I freaking love Rings of Power and everything about it. And I know it’s not fully canon, I know all of that.
But gang.
Rings of Power. Is literally fanfiction.
It’s a fanfic brought to TV.
That’s probably why I love it so much as well, because yeah, it’s not canon, neither is Thorin being Frodo’s dad/uncle but we roll with that when we read it cause it brings us joy.
I have similar views for The Hobbit. It’s literally Bagginshield slow burn and Kili x OC.
Anyway have a good day and take care of yourself 🤙🫶🏿
I keep telling myself to wait til I get a new iPad to draw and then I can post some stuff, but I’m getting impatient gang, I’m just gonna post my sketches cause why not
Please feed me any Hobbit or LOTR fanfics, please, I need something to energise me before work and I’m running low
Writing the Bilbo and Gollum meet was cool because I got to write Bilbo as the Hobbit I headcanon with the tail etc
But I also wrote Gollum as the Hobbit Child he never grew up from after getting the ring.
Writing the parallel with Bilbo (in this particular story) going feral because of reasons I won’t spoil, and Gollum who is literally already feral and more creature then hobbit at this point, was amazing, fighting like absolute animals.
Imagine if the reason that it took Bilbo sixty years to be badly effected by the Ring, was because it wasn’t Saurons voice speaking to him. Or the voice of the ring or whatever.
Imagine it was Thorin’s voice.
He spent all that time, not separating himself from it but also not doing anything evil or bad was because he was just grateful to hear Thorin’s voice again, no matter what it said to him, it was his voice.
And when he was separated from it, he was desperate and sad, but he could pull himself back because he knew the ring wasn’t him, he was dead.
Thoughts…
I am about to rant about the movies and acting and such, I want to make it clear that I am merely a film student with nothing but a certificate for the time being therefor I am not a professional with any professional opinion.
This is just me and my thoughts as a NYFA graduate and a gay ass BagginShield shipper.
The amount of times Tauriel and Kili’s love story is paralleled with Bilbo and Thorin’s scenes is literally a filmmaking technique to portray the two relationships without getting castigated by the audience.
Which also brings to my attention a possibility of Tauriel being made a character for the heavily disapproved of and messy love triangle thing, as a way to draw the attention away from Martin and Richard making Bilbo and Thorin’s story one of beautifully grown friendship, to love, to an toxic and tragic end.
Sound familiar? Because that’s similar to Kili and Tauriel, though they had the freedom of exploring more into the romance then the friendship that the main characters had to work with. Because who wants to see a straight couple slow burn? Plenty but not people who ogle at hot red heads such as myself, (I love my girlfriend guys).
——
Example 1:
The scene of Balin telling Thorin that someone needs to go save Bilbo (while he’s in with Smaug).
Cuts to Bofur giving Tauriel the weed and asking what she’s going to do with it, she responds by saying “I’m going to save him”
Clean cut back to Thorin running into the mountain, not for the gold as he hasn’t even seen it yet, but he’s looking for Bilbo.
Example 2:
Tauriel crying over Kili, asking Thranduil why it hurt so much, and knowing the comfort she needed, he tells her; “because it was real.”
Then we get to Bilbo crying over Thorin, Gandalf sitting down with him and just being there, knowing the comfort that Bilbo needed.

And yes I did in fact rant to my Poppy about this before finishing it and ended up in an in depth discussion about Peter Jackson’s directing on it in general. Normal Sunday night tbh.
Anyway THANK YOU FOR THIS TED TALK ❤️🫶🏿
Whenever I can’t do my work, but I can’t find a way past my writers block, I make a new Fandom Wiki for one of my fics.
The first time I did so it went from procrastination to hyper-fixation on learning how to source code my wikis.
Has anybody else procrastinated so hard you learnt how to code?
