The half animal au won in my last poll! Thank you all for voting!
Honestly didn't expect it to win! I was so sure the pirates au would i win i prepared some sketches already lol. And it appears i bit too much to chew with this au. Because of the different proportions it's harder to draw certain poses so i apologize if they came out a little wonky. But hey! The whole purpose of this au was so that i can practice drawing animals, and im getting better little by little! I know i promised more of the company but it came out to be harder than i thought to accomplish that 😭. I was able to stuff Fili and Kili into the sketches tho! Anyway hope you enjoy this bunch!
If y'all have any questions on this au i will gladly answer them!

I'll of course start:

I enjoyed this fic especially because you get to know the characters in a new way, it is incredibly funny & heartbreaking at the same time, and the pairings are really enjoyable and happen naturally.

The fact that The Hobbit is such a lighthearted family-friendly book, especially when compared to LOTR, actually breaks my heart when you consider that it is Bilbo’s writing. That journey was anything but a fun trip for him. He went through real dangers and horrifying moments. He saw violence for the first time. At the end of it, he lost his love. And he went home traumatized, heartbroken, and forever changed.
Yet when he wrote the story down, he emphasized the more successful and fun parts, and glossed over the depth of his pain and grief when the losses happened (even leaving Fili and Kili’s passing to a throwaway line.)
Because what else could he have done? Nobody else could possibly understand his pain. Bilbo wasn’t like Frodo. He didn’t have a Sam who he shared the experience with and could talk to about it every day afterward, to help him work through writing down the details of the darker parts of the story. And his other friends lived far away and could only visit occasionally.
And the hobbit children were all full of wonder about Elves and dwarves and trolls, so he put the focus on that.
I feel like that was his way of dealing with his trauma.

the hobbit: an unexpected journey with eveything the same except for fili and kili doing this in the background of the serious meeting in bag-end and no one blinks an eye
and they have all their lines still but doing anything but sitting still

The company: So what's for dinner?
Bombur: I can't tell you, it's a soup-prise!
The company: ...
Gloin: Is it soup?
Bombur: I soup-pose it could be! *winks*
Dwalin: Please, enough with the soup puns!
Bombur: Wow, you're soup-per mean
Thorin: STOP
*one hour later*
The company: It's fucking roast beef?!?!?!?

Life Hack: Romanticize leaving your house by playing the LOTR soundtrack and pretending you’re going on a noble quest for the good of Middle Earth instead of going to class or to the grocery store to get eggs.
