molten, having never seen the Hobbit films: ehh. I read the Hobbit a thousand times when I was a child (really not an exaggeration, thrice a week for at least three years and once a week or so for another like… four?) think I’d know if there was actually anything to the whole Bilbo and Thorin ship. I think this is the internet Internetting again. Molten, three films and an Absurd Quantity of Blatant Staring later: …. Alright. So. I still don’t think this is canon. However.… there is very little someone can do to explain That without… Like. That’s… a lot of Unnecessary Looking. At Each Other. Like. Please. There are children present (gestures vaguely at the Li brothers) could you not do that in public like that.

#Like I’m not saying that was the intention of the storytellers #I AM saying that most heterosexual ships in modern media get LESS buildup than whatever THAT was #What the HECK #The Staring #There’s So Much of it #It goes on for So Long #The unnecessary emphasis on Thorin being Very Hot and having a nice voice and them Immediately switching to Flustered Bilbo #I’m sure the intention was “fanservice for the ladies and then also Bilbo being cowardly”#But the effect was really just “Bilbo is Seeing This just like the rest of us and it’s Getting To Him like it is anyone watching this-#-who’s got eyes”#I don’t ship it but I don’t think y’all are grasping at straws no more XD #Hobbit #lotr #tolkien
