Hello Autumn!

[ihobbit]

Today is April 27th. On this day (2941, the Third Age of Middle-earth) the hobbit Bilbo Baggins left the Shire with the company of Thorin Oakenshield and the wizard Gandalf. The adventure begins!

My friends: You have so many clothes, but you've been wearing the same T-shirt for ten years! Maybe it's time to change something? 

Me: NEVER.

Today is a significant day! John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892. Thank you for the wonderful world created by your imagination, professor!

Gandalf: When you love someone, you see him ten times more gorgeous than he really is, and you don’t notice his flaws at all.

Bilbo: *said quietly to himself* Wow, I wonder what does Thorin really look like?

Night. A forest clearing flooded with moonlight. The air is filled with the scent of meadow flowers and the sound of cicadas can be heard.

Bilbo lies on the grass and looks at Thorin lovingly.

Bilbo: Well... so who are we to each other now? Friends or... something more?

Thorin lies silently and looks at the starry sky.

Bilbo: Ok. Well... who would you like to be?

Thorin: *dreamily, without taking his eyes off the sky* The King under the Mountain.

AU. After the battle, Thorin gives the crown to Fili and decides to live together with Bilbo. He really wanted to stay in Erebor, but Bilbo missed home so much that they decided to settle in the Shire.

After overcoming a long and difficult journey, they finally return to Bag End.

The first day of their new life. Beautiful spring morning, the couple went to the market.

Thorin: *delighted* Wow, there are so many hobbits here!!! It's all hobbits! Small, adorable and fluffy hobbits with little bare feet!

Bilbo: *tense with jealousy* Yeah, maybe we should go back and live in Erebor…

Thorin: *does not listen to Bilbo, enthusiastically looks around the area and its inhabitants*

Bilbo: *stony-faced* It’s good that we haven’t had time to unpack our things yet.

Somewhere in the vast expanses of Erebor the first snow fell...

The full range of Thorin's emotions during the showdown with Bilbo on the ramparts💔

Thorin: *tries to hint transparently* You know, my Mountain is so Lonely...

Bilbo: *virgin for fifty years* What is he trying to say with this?..

[ihobbit]

I think that the most terrible period for Bilbo in his journey was the time he spent in the Mountain immediately after Thorin's death and until the moment when he left there. Thorin died, Bilbo's grief is immeasurable. Everything lost its meaning, everything was in vain. For the first time in his life Bilbo forgets that he needs to eat. He was wounded in the head, but he forgot about that too. He doesn't know where to hide just to cry. It seems to me that these were very dreadful hours spent in semidarkness and deafening silence. No one cares about the hobbit, dwarves are busy organizing the funeral of Thorin and his nephews and at the same time the coronation of Dain. But Bilbo doesn't need anyone anymore. Thorin died, from that moment on the Mountain is a foreign, empty and cold place for him, from which he needs to leave. And he will leave there, leave as quickly as possible, leave once and for all. And he has a long life ahead of him with sleepless, lonely nights to finally cry all his tears.

Thranduil [to Tauriel]: What do you know of love? Nothing! What you feel for that dwarf is not real. You think it is love? Are you ready to die for it?

And immediately after that Bilbo runs to Ravenhill to warn Thorin. Runs through the fire of war and the horror of surrounding death.

Because his feel for this dwarf is REAL. Because this is LOVE. And he is READY TO DIE for it.

I will have war!
