#not actual bilbo baggins

[chelshiart]

shout out to my siblings for being tolkien-nerds because they make it possible for me, a dwj-nerd, to photobomb their lego rivendell set <3

context of dwj's history with tolkien:

"Tolkien was a different matter. He was just a kind of eminence grise and a legend. You couldn’t hear him lecture. He worked at not letting you hear, because he wanted to go away and finish writing The Lord of the Rings. So he had the very smallest lecture room. First of all it was packed out, so he spoke with his back to the audience and mumbling. Unfortunately he was talking about - meditating on, really - what a plot is like and how it mutates into other plots, and this I found so fascinating that I went back the next week as did one other person. And this meant that he couldn’t stop lecturing and still get the money, which apparently in those days you could if no one turned up - it was a dreadful racket, really. He could have given just the one lecture and then been paid for a term if we’d all stayed away."

Balin always showing up to exposition dump about Thorin while Thorin is standing like a few feet away staring dramatically off into the distance will never not be funny to me

#idk exactly how many times this happens but I’m pretty sure it’s more than 3 #I wanna know what Thorin is thinking in those scenes #like he is definitely hearing all this is he ever just want to correct balin like ‘actually 🤓☝️’ #Thorin is literally so dramatic I love him #the hobbit #thorin oakenshield #bilbo baggins #lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit balin #gandalf #thorin x bilbo #bagginshield

Considering these two little gay men have taken residence in my mind 24/7, I think it only fair they start paying rent

Don't mind me just constantly thinking about the deliberate positioning of one Bilbo Baggins in the "Am I not the King?" scene in BOFA. Thorin on the dais, Balin and Dwalin on the walkway, visually and physically beneath him, while Bilbo is standing off to Thorin's left, either on the dais or on the steps leading to it (hard to see in the scene), but decidedly closer to Thorin than to Balin and Dwalin.

Yep. That's. Yep, I am. Completely fine and normal about this. Yep.

#and you just KNOW that thorin put him there. #thorin wanted bilbo by his side the entire time inside erebor and it fucking SHOWS #i am unwell actually i need to lie down #thilbo #bagginshield #the hobbit #battle of the five armies #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #balin #dwalin

"Between Thorin and the three wargs that were slowly stalking his way, who was angrier?

Those bright blue eyes seemed to glow like flames of their own as he dug his claws into the ground and then pushed himself to his feet. That glow between the scales of his throat becoming visible again as he let those wings of his, injured as they might have been from the scuffle, spread and make him as large and imposing as possible, another loud and menacing growl erupted and echoed from Thorin take made the ears of those wargs tip back with a whine. Bilbo’s own had dropped at the sound, as piercing as it was."

AO3 IS BACK! I've been waiting to post this so that I could include the excerpt because this is one of my FAVORITE parts of Dragonhearted! Combat is so hard to write and Razzles does it beautifully. Beauty and the Beast AUs are so tricky to get right and honestly this is the best one I've read to date out of any fandom I've been in. So PLEASE make sure to give it and any other of Razzles' fics a read it will be so worth it I promise

(have very messy sketch for now) drawing more of 2003 bilbo with thorin, who has some design changes

#art #the hobbit #the hobbit 2003 #bagginshield #lotr fanart #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #might colour this actually.. #i wanted to tweak thorins design a bit KJHSDFD

One of the best parts of Fellowship of the Ring is finding out about Aragorn and Bilbo’s friendship. Like I’ve seen people talk about how they collaborated on the song together, but I have yet to see people talk about this:

“[Bilbo] turned to Strider. ‘Where have you been, my friend? Why weren’t you at the feast? The Lady Arwen was there.’”

Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring pg. 261

Like. Bilbo was definitely one of Aragorn/Arwen’s chief shippers and no one can change my mind about that.

#Help I forgot their ship name #aragorn x arwen #but anyway Bilbo and Aragorn is an underrated friendship that needs to be brought up more #Especially since Bilbo is actually one of the closest in age to Aragorn in Rivendell #only like 40 years apart #As compared to the couple thousand years of Elladan and Elrohir #you can’t tell me those two didn’t bond over the crazy shit in the last ~hundred years they lived through #or that Bilbo didn’t use “well I’m older” at least once in conversation with him #because Bilbo’s a little shit and has to remind Aragorn that he’s the youngest guy there before the Fellowship and the Council #just imagine Bilbo watching Aragorn and Arwen skirt around each other for 17 years bc they have to wait until Aragorn’s king to get married #kiki re-re-re-reads the lord of the rings #just yelling into the void #the lord of the rings #aragorn #bilbo baggins #arwen undomiel #the fellowship of the ring #tolkien quotes #quotes

sorry where is my ‘love actually’ bagginshield au??

i’m talking Thorin is the prime minister and Bilbo is natalie, The Company is the other characters (more on that later)

- the initial meeting being a complete c*ckup

- Thorin “oh no. that is so inconvenient” Oakenshield realising he is love struck over his new assistant while trying to run a country (erebor)

- the mutual pining

- the House Estate Scene where Thorin is going from Hobbit Hole to Hobbit Hole trying to find Bilbo because he couldn’t remember the way to Bag End cause his sense of direction is terrible

if literally anyone else has any interest in this i have so much more to say on this oh my god

#i’m currently watching this movie rn can you tell #however i cannot unroot the bagginshield brain rot from my own #the hobbit #lotr #thorin oakenshield #bagginshield #bilbo baggins #lord of the rings #thilbo #love actually

[njordr]

Do you have any specific bagginshield headcanons you can share with the class?

thorin often needs to be touched/caressed/taken care of, his love language is physical touch so he does little things like brush Bilbo’s curls back or away from his face, braiding it when it gets too overgrown for his liking or even weaving flowers into his curls to make him feel better abt it. often times you will find him face down in bilbo’s chest, waiting for the hobbit to card his fingers through his hair and make him feel safe

[gracehaa]

lowkey so strange how tolkien wrote so many characters who just like bonded with friends and never fell in love but nobody ever points out the aroace-ness of that

#tolkien #aroace #the hobbit #lord of the rings #bilbo baggins #frodo baggins #thorin oakenshield #im pretty sure this actually applies to like half the company #aromantic #asexual
