|9| "Give Him A Pony"

This is a scene we all know too well, after all, it's hard to forget Bilbo's discomfort at that time. Absolutely iconic from An Unexpected Journey.

And as you've gathered from the title, yes, it is indeed the scene where Bilbo and Myrtle gets introduced to one another.

But ever wondered who the two dwarves that picked him up were?

Based on the sleeves, it's easy to say it's Fili and Kili. But of course people will have their doubts and I won't blame you because how am I sure if that's Kili's sleeve? There's no doubt about Fili's though but if you're also not sure about him, I got evidence proving this right here.

This scene is right after Bilbo tries to refuse what Thorin said and is set right before the scene on top. It's really hard to see my point in this scene so let me crop it for you.

As you can see... despite the quality, Fili and Kili were the two dwarves behind Bilbo before he was picked up so I would say that's enough evidence to prove they actually were the ones who did it right?

Notes: Well... I'm sad to say this is the last thing I could offer you all right now. It's probably going to be a while before I come back again but it can't be helped.

I'm sorry but until we meet again, I bid you all a very fond farewell~

Little Things I've Noticed In The Hobbit

|1| The Pipe

There is a scene in The Desolation Of Smaug where the orcs came upon the rocks where the Dwarves were previously before setting off with Bard.

And before the camera focuses on the vile lot, we see a lone, abandoned pipe.

That pipe look familiar? I'd think so, because it is the very pipe we see Fili carrying around in An Unexpected Journey.

Notes: Yay! My very first blog after... A couple of years of making this account... Hehe... ANYWAYS—

I made this because I didn't see any posts regarding this and well, I took my chance. Hopefully you learned something new! And I will continue to add to this if I ever find more and I hope you stick around for that! <3

|8| Even Uncle Thorin Gets

Confused

We all know how confusing Fili and Kili's names are, hell even the brothers themselves get confused on which name belongs to who.

And so we've also probably had our moments where we accidentally switched them up. Well, it seems that dear Uncle Thorin isn't an exception to that.

As you can clearly see, the subtitles say Kili. And yes, I've also checked various sources, that subtitle isn't the only thing I've based this upon.

I've checked the script for An Unexpected Journey and it confirms that he does actually say Kili, it's the same for a transcript I found on theonering.net, both of which I will link so you all can see for yourselves.

But anyway, he says Kili but in that scene the brothers were separated right? Well Kili wasn't with the group that was getting an extra ride while the Stone Giants were battling.

Yeah it was actually Fili that was getting tossed around and who Thorin would've been concerned about. You can check for yourself, both of these scenes are right next to each other plus the fact that the brothers did get separated during the rumbling battle.

And since Fili was the one showed here, that further proves it. It's ok Thorin, it happens.

Here's the link to the other sources I've looked at.

It's still early to say goodbye again, I'll save it for the last post but I really am sad about it. Well, I'll eventually come back. I'm sure of that.

|7| Bolg's Signature Move

Okay I feel really dumb for just noticing this in my recent watch of The Hobbit and most of you already probably know this but this is my thread and I'm doing it for the ones who didn't notice.

So in The Desolation Of Smaug, we all know Legolas and Bolg's first showdown wherein which Bolg does this specific move to overthrow Legolas.

He catches his blade and tucks it under his arm and just holds it there which gives him a ton of opportunities. Smart but not very effective to do it on the same opponent, twice.

Especially if your opponent is Legolas.

But that's exactly what he did in Battle Of The Five Armies. Same stance and everything. Heh the fact that you thought it would work twice is hilarious. We all know what comes next after this don't we? Hilarious indeed.

Notes: Again I know this might not be the most obscure of facts but well I had just literally found it out so why not put it here right?

Oh but don't worry this isn't the last of them so you'll be getting more in a few days... As soon as I've recovered from this slight fever.

|6| The Pig

So we all know in The Desolation Of Smaug how Bofur was rushing out to find a certain weed for Kili's injury right?

Which means we all remember this little fella who was just minding it's business peacefully munchin' on dinner yeah?

Well do I have good news for everyone wondering if he survived the inferno provided by our dear Smaug. In Battle Of The Five Armies, we see a very familiar pig amidst the aftermath.

Good to see you survived, but sad to say you probably aren't alive right now at all... I'd wager pieces of you'd be roasting tenderly for most of the people to enjoy~

Notes: This was purely based on the fact that I think the two pigs in both pictures are similar based on the face patterns as well as the hair.

That's all I'm basing this off of so there's a chance I could be wrong but also, what are the chances of it being wrong right?

|5| Thorin's Armor

A little movie mistake I've noticed is that in The Desolation Of Smaug, when Thorin was first thrown into his cell in Mirkwood, he was still wearing full armor.

But the next we see him which was when Bilbo went to break them all out, his armor is gone which leaves him in his undershirt like all the others.

So did the guards come back to like... strip him down? Pfft, must've been awkward for everyone watching if that was the case.

Notes: Heyyy anyone missed me? It's been a long time I know but sadly I still am not gonna be posting consistently.

Though I do have some things to add to this thread of reblogs so I'm not gonna be gone just yet. Ohh have I missed it here though...

Me mercilessly judging you based on your favorite LOTR character part 2

(Part 1)

(Hobbit Version)

Arwen

You never make the same mistake twice. You make it 25 or 26 times just to be sure. Stop going back to your ex sweetheart, they won't change.

Elrond

You're a closeted crackhead. You give others the dumb ideas because you're too afraid to act on them yourself. Grow balls bro.

Galadriel

You're definitely a narcissistic little b*tch and you like to play the authoritative figure with your friends because you think you're superior.

Haldir

You're a fucking judgmental piece of shit and people let you stay only because you're hot and have great conversations.

Eomer

You act like you're a rich person with taste but we all know you eat shredded cheese directly from the bag and don't change your clothes when you have days off.

Eowyn

You're either a homewrecker or you get cheated on all the time.

Theoden

You endlessly brag about any small thing you achieve and probably ask to see the fucking manager when you're not happy.

Faramir

Do you only date older men because you actually like them? Or is it because your parents never cared about you and you seek the recognition of someone their age?

Saruman

Hey, how about when your friend tells you a secret, you keep it to yourself instead of rushing to tell everybody?

Sauron

You're mentally ill and probably have a blood kink.

#pfft the blood kink I can't— #lord of the rings #reblog

[shirebor]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA NO WAIT CUZ I KNOW THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ATTACK ON THE STANS BUT WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND EXPOSE GANDALF WHEN DOING SO—

Calling you out based on your favorite LOTR Character. I will have no mercy.

(Part 2)

(Hobbit Version)

Frodo

You good? I don't know, just asking because your victim complex is starting to show.

Sam

Do you like it? Being treated like a fucking carpet? Yeah, you actually do enjoy it a lot.

Pippin

Stop stealing people's jokes you little shit. Get your own.

Merry

Aren't you tired of living in people's shadow? How does it feel to be known only as (insert name)'s friend?

Aragorn

I think you should stop reading hurt/comfort fanfictions until 4am and get some fucking sleep you fucking depressed b*tch.

Boromir

You're a two faced fucker, but in a good way. You pretend and say you hate everyone but we all know you carry painkillers and bandaids in your bag in case someone gets hurt.

Legolas

Why are you trying so hard? Is it because you inherited your parents' unresolved trauma?

Gimli

You act like you're tough but you listen to Britney Spears when no one is looking and cried when Mufasa died.

Gandalf

You think you're the mom friend but it's your fault everyone ended up in the police station.

Gollum

How about you log out of Tumblr and clean your room? It's starting to stink real bad in there.

#knowing that feels so illegal omg #lord of the rings #reblog

[shirebor]

Part 2 of me judging your ass based on your favorite Hobbit Character.

(Part 1)

Bofur

People think you get others out of trouble when really... You're the one to create trouble.

Bifur

You're a crackhead (no pun intended) and you're probably going to end up living with 27 cats and a chicken.

Bombur

You're also going to end up with 27 cats, and you either dream of becoming Gordon Ramsay or marrying him.

Bilbo

Are you ok? Blink twice if you need help.

Thranduil

You have a God complex and hate yourself at the same time and it makes you want to bang your head against a wall. Really hard.

Tauriel

Who hurt you so bad that you only stay with toxic people?

Bard

STOP. BULLYING. YOUR. FRIENDS.

GET. DOWN. OF. YOUR. IMAGINARY. PEDESTAL.

YOUR. EX. DON'T. WANT. YOU. BACK.

In short, go to therapy.

Lindir

Oh look! A little shit with no self confidence!

Radagast

You're either a stoner or your hear voices in your head. Or both.

Smaug

You're kinky. Like. Really kinky. And it scares me.

I hate how fucking accurate this is like—

I have decided to judge you based on your favorite Hobbit character, and I'm not going to be nice. You ready?

(Part 2)

Thorin

You're a little piece of shit who always wants to be right, even when you're wrong. You probably have Daddy Issues.

Kíli

"aHaHaH iM sO uGlY" shut the fuck up you know you're fucking hot you fucking attention wh*re.

Fíli

You're def a bottom but you say you're a top because you want to be cool. You probably have Daddy Issues too.

Balin

You're either a teacher's pet or a really bad student. No in between.

Dwalin

How're your anger issues doing? Went to therapy yet?

Ori

The world needs more people like you, really, but you should keep your mouth shut because your stupidity is showing sweetheart.

Nori

You ask people if you can borrow their stuff and then never give it back. We see you, we know what you're doing.

Dori

You're a party pooper. And a snitch.

Oin

I'm scared of you. Idk maybe you're nice but I'm scared of you. Please step back.

Gloin

You should watch your mouth because you radiate big ass *whispers* pick me energy...

#straight for the jugular i say— #the hobbit #reblog

[shirebor]

Dís left erebor when she was like 10 and i headcannon that she has a super thick accent that’s different from Thorin’s, an accent from the blue mountains.

And their sibling arguments are always the greatest, since Thorin has this fancy upperclass accent and Dís is there spitting out swears in this nigh unintelligible accent to the point where Thorin can hardly understand her. 

Fili and Kili have Thorin’s accent (for some bizarre reason?? It’s the same as Thorins in the movies), but understand their mother perfectly, and always sit down with a tub of popcorn whenever their Uncle and Amad get into a good old fashioned sibling fight.

#ahhh one of the best highlights of having a sibling~ #the hobbit #Thorin #Dís #Fili #Kili #the hobbit headcannon #reblog

Bard: Okay okay stop asking me if I'm straight, gay, bi, whatever. I identify as a FUCKING THREAT.

[shirebor]

Just another confession

When I read The Hobbit as a kid, I hated Thorin. I thought he was such a grouchy, mean-spirited arse and I had a hard time relating to him. Richard Armitage changed all that— and it’s because he gave the character not just depth, but his portrayal offered *explanations* to Thorin’s behavior. Because of the films, we know why Thorin is grumpy and distrustful, suspicious and quick to anger. Thorin is a hurting person who, in the modern world, would’ve had to go through enormous therapy to help deal with the trauma he’d experienced. But he had none of that. He had to pick himself up and continue forward with no help at all. Thorin picked up the pieces and pasted them together the best he could, which means he creaks and falters as he goes through life, but everything he does is by virtue of his own efforts. He’s hard as nails and yet he has a softer, gentler side, which he shares with his beloved nephews… The warm smiles he bestows on them are so touching, because *there* is where we see his true heart… and it is good and golden.

Thorin is REAL, which is why I think so many people relate to him. Everybody wants to be a Galadriel— beautiful, flawless, powerful, and untouchable. Most of us, however, fall into the category of damaged goods, like Thorin. Even those of us who manage to act like we have it all together still are damaged on the *inside*, like Thranduil. But Thorin isn’t just some “damaged” character that somehow makes us feel better for being less than perfect. He’s the kind of character that aspires us to be *more* than our pain, to rise above past hurt and accomplish great things. “Let those who doubted us rue this day!” Thorin once exclaimed… and in that moment, he speaks to all of us who are fighting to rise above something to a greater end.

My life-long best friend (and sister in all but blood) died a month before BoFA came out. She was literally my Fili, and my whole world has turned upside down. I was scared to see BoFA. I didn’t want to see my Durin lads die. I knew it would happen, but I was genuinely afraid of what my reaction would be upon seeing their deaths on the big screen. BoFA ripped me apart… Fili’s death, and Kili’s reaction, was too much of an abstract mirror of my own reality. Bilbo’s denial at Thorin’s side was a painting of my own sorrow. I’m saying all this because I think what makes BoFA so great is the honesty in which it portrays grief— it’s real. I was able to relate to every single character expressing their own modes of grief because all of it was truthful and believable. Those who say it wasn’t “enough” mourning and tears are blissfully ignorant, and that’s okay. But those of us who have lost a Fili, a Kili, or a Thorin in our lives, we understand, because we have experienced the same kind of pain in one way or another.

Ultimately that’s what makes LOTR, The Hobbit, and all of these characters so special… because they are so relatable. Tolkien wrote so many great truths about life into these stories— that’s what will ultimately make them endure. So, no; Thorin Oakenshield will never truly die. There are countless Thorin Oakenshields in the world today, people who have overcome great evil and are looking to claim their places in the world. You may be one of them. There’s a little of Thorin in almost everyone, I think… And that, at least, is a small comfort.
