Mirabel stood behind Gandalf at the door to Bags End, Antonio off with Frodo to explore the area. After reassurances from Gandalf that he'd be safe.

She was slightly behind Gandalf to hide from the window and surprise Bilbo as Gandalf knocked.

"No thank you! I don't want anymore visitors, well wishers or distant relations!" Bilbo's voice yelled and it was different than she recalled. Sounded aged and annoyed. Like her Abuela at times.

"And what about very old friends?" Gandalf called and there was a moment before the door opened.

"Gandalf?" Bilbo looked barely ten years older as he stared.

"Bilbo Baggins." Gandalf greeted and Mirabel smiled as Bilbo rushed forward and Gandalf kneeled to be on eye level and hug him back.

"My dear Gandalf!" Bilbo was thrilled and Gandalf hugged back just as tightly as he was held.

"Bilbo a hundred and eleven years old...and who'd think it? You haven't aged a day." Gandalf said and it was true. Bilbo had barely aged from when Mirabel last saw him.

"Well what are you waiting for? Come in!" Bilbo began to move back to the house but Gandalf chuckled a bit.

"I think you'd quite like to see your surprise first my dear Bilbo." Gandalf said and Bilbo paused in the doorway.

"You will never guess." Gandalf teased and Bilbo looked curious as Gandalf stepped to the side to reveal Mirabel.

"Hola Bilbo. Happy Birthday my old friend." Mirabel said smiling as she looked at Bilbo who stared at her bug eyed and slack jawed for a long moment.

"It...cannot be..." Bilbo stumbled forward a bit almost drunkenly in shock. Those eyes. Those glasses. That hair...that dress...*those shoes*.

"It is. I found her on the road with a young companion on my way here. It seems she was brought back to this world just in time for your birthday." Gandalf verified when Bilbo looked at him stunned.

"Mirabel? That wee lass from so long ago?" Bilbo breathed out as he looked at the girl who was now nearly a head taller than him and yet still so short compared to Gandalf.

"Not so wee anymore now. It's wonderful to see you again Bilbo." Mirabel said and suddenly she had an armful of sobbing Hobbit.

"I have missed you and the Company for so long my friend."

Gandalf, Bilbo and Mirabel >>

Jokes aside, I can see why Bilbo didn’t even believe it for a min 😮‍💨 I mean yeah, she’s human, but no like Middle Earth human, so Bilbo likely didn’t think he’d see her again, let alone alive. So her just showing up. Like it’s sweet out here (it is) 🌚 BUT LIKE. Gandalf know until she turned up, so like, it’s not like he could’ve warned Bilbo. W for him still remembering and missing her the whole time though. Kudos to him 🤧☝️

Encanto of the Rings, but I won’t say which character is who:

Did You Know?

JRR Tolkien, of Lord Of Rings fame, came to despise the character most beloved by his fanbase? In fact, Gollum's widespread appeal was the specific reason why! Tolkien stated on multiple occasions that it was around the time that Finland nearly (narrowly avoided by just a single vote) changed their national flag to the phrase "Gollum not Smeggle", in black text on a white background that he truly realized his disdain for the character. "I simply cannot conceive of how anyone could like a fictional character enough to do this; especially not an inbred rat like Gollum."

In response to the widespread love of the character, Tolkien actually claimed to have written a particularly graphic and extensive death scene for the character, where the main characters beat him to a pulp for no apparent reason except that "Bobo Burgis or whatever decided he was too ugly and it was better just to kill him". Though Tolkien's publisher* at the time described the prose as "Some of the best prose [he] had ever heard" after Tolkien's private reading, he found the scene so disturbing that he removed it without informing Tolkien and replaced it with Gollum randomly, happily saying his own name, and randomly added that same phrase intermittently throughout the rest of the book.

While Tolkien was supposedly so upset about that, according to his wife, he "cried like a little bitch every night for the next month", he acknowledged the success of the catchphrase, (as well as its simplicity) and developed a machine that would pseudo-randomly insert the phrase throughout the rest of the text. While the initial usage of the phrase was enough to make it somewhat popular, it was Tolkien's decision to double-down on it (particularly the scene where he announces it in response to Bilbo's announcement of his undying love for Sam) that cemented it so strongly in public consciousness that to this day there is heavy debate as to whether, at the annual event 'GollumCon', attendees should be allowed to say anything other than "Gollum :)".

*It is worth noting that this was actually the third publisher that Tolkien had gone to with his book, after the first two committed suicide, leaving no notes, after being sent the transcript. The last would also do this shortly after the book was published.

imagine: you are chilling in front you your house getting high. along comes an old family friend who you last saw when you were six, you are now in your 50s. after a brief convo where he is kind of a dick to you, he’s like damn you’ve changed :/. and your like yeah bestie it’s been five decades why the fuck are you here. he leaves. later that night a shit ton of people show up and trash your house. just throw and absolute rager. halfway through the family friend from earlier shows up. he announces in full earshot of everyone that he wants you to come with him to rob a bank. you of course say wtf??? one of the people who broke into your house calls you a pussy. another person shoves you a contract which declares if you get shot robbing the bank they will not pay for your funeral. you pass out. when you wake up you find the contract on your table and your house almost completely back to normal. you stare at the contract for a moment and decide, fuck it this is just as a good a midlife crisis than anything.

this is what happened to bilbo baggins

The fact that Tolkien realized he’d created inconsistency for LotR with the first published version of The Hobbit and then retconned it with the in universe explanation of “Bilbo is a liar,” is never going to stop being both equal parts brilliant and funny.

Retelling The Hobbit Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain First chapter / Previous / Next

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.
