I really enjoy analyzing Bilbo's speech from the first Hobbit movie. This scene has so much depth that I could do multiple deep dives on it. People tend to focus on Thorin in this scene, but what I like to watch is Bilbo's body language. Take the gif below, for example. Bilbo just finished his speech, yet he continues looking at Thorin. You can tell he is fully aware he held eye contact for too long; just look at how he fidgets right after. Even after breaking the extended eye contact, he looks back at Thorin, TWICE.
Here it is again in slow motion. Pay attention to Bilbo's eyes. This is right after he breaks off eye contact.
This is in addition to the 3 seconds of prolonged eye contact they just shared. Below are unedited gifs of how long they stood there staring at each other. This is as much a turning point in their relationships as Carrock.
This is the moment Thorin truly starts to see Bilbo in a different light, and the moment Bilbo starts to realize that he craves Thorin's approval more than he thinks. That's why he looked so devastated 30 minutes later when Thorin was saying all those seemingly harsh things on Carrock. I think, in a way, those 3-second stares followed by awkward looking away is their "Oh, oh" moment. They're both starting to realize that whatever is between them is more than the sum of the quest they're on.
Also, look at Balin being absolute shipper trash.

hello :) could you maybe explain a little bit how dan wootton blackmailed louis?
ugh sorry for taking a while to get to this. The problem is I feel like the only two ways to answer this are by spending a week and a half of full time labor sifting through old posts and evidence to get every detail right and lay out an airtight case, or to halfass something very serious, and so I felt a little stuck. So since I can't seem to find a good halfway point, apologies but here is the half assed version, if you want to get into it more I invite you to do your own deep dive or talk to other people, but here's how I remember things.
Louis has almost never on video explicitly said things about Larry not being real and/or anything negative about fans and their theories (mostly the opposite), up until the last couple years when he obviously decided to make a major change he didn't talk about Freddie much at all let alone saying he was his kid, honestly not that much about Eleanor even; except for in two major interviews with Dan Wootton, each of which lined up with a serious traumatic Tomlinson family event that they managed to keep out of the tabloids until the very end (Jay's illness and Fizzy's struggles with substance abuse). After the fact of those events a lot of small things that didn't make sense at the time came together to look very much like Louis traded those interviews (and those answers) for having his family's private matters kept private. Story trading of this kind is a publicly known real thing that happens, and there were various clues that suggested he was being leaned on about those stories to lend legitimacy to the idea that it was something that happened in these cases. Given what we know about Dan Wootton and how he operates even before the recent flood of information and even more now, I think it's more than likely that he has been holding the threat of outing Louis (as he has done to many other public figures) over his head for over a decade, and has used his family's tragic struggles to get Louis to dance like a fucking puppet for him and I will REJOICE at his downfall when it comes whether it is now or 20 years from now... because someday it will, he has made too many enemies to stay above it forever

just started the magnus archives recently (have only finished up to ep 32 so far) and i like to think that one day jon just sat down at his desk one day like wow! time for a lovely day of recording statements! and then he just went entirely grey all at once instead of gaining grey hair over the course of time. like idk i think it's funnier if he just sat down and went from black hair to grey in a mere second from dealing with martin being pantless in his archives
