Thorin had cupped his chin between his forefinger and thumb, and tilted it up. Bilbo’s heart was immediately in this throat, his breath catching as Thorin stepped closer, his own head lowered ever so slightly down towards him.  “Is that clear?” Thorin repeated himself, though more quietly now as his eyes seemed to be searching Bilbo’s face for something, roving over every detail as though mapping out something truly intriguing.  Bilbo found he couldn’t speak, their position far too reminiscent of the last few breaths before a kiss, and Thorin’s intense gaze stealing every word he ever knew from his memory.

Thought I’d sum up The Hobbit in one drawing if that’s okay with you guys

You are changed, Thorin.

George Martin, 2013: "In a very basic level winter is coming for all of us. I think that’s one of the things that art is concerned with: the awareness of our own mortality. “Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things.There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime”. That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night".

JRR Tolkien, 1962 : "One reviewer once said, this is a jolly jolly book, all the right boys come home [...]- this isn't true of course, he can't have read the story. [...] Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (He quotes Simone de Beauvoir) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings".

"Lotr is all rainbows and unicorns and Asoiaf is nihilistic and grimdark". Wrong, and wrong. In all its hope and radiance, lotr often gets very dark, and despite all the death and suffering, the hopeful moments in asoiaf shine bright. The meeting point of these two is this: having hope while in despair, and even better, refusing to give up because you have to go on despite not having any hope left.

I am half asleep and started thinking about the Fellowship at the dentist, so:

WOULD THE FELLOWSHIP BE AFRAID OF GOING TO THE DENTIST?

Frodo: No. Goes to the dentist very rarely anyway, as his genes have blessed him with basically zero cavities.

Sam: A little nervous about it, but he goes there regardless. He has cavities, and Frodo convinces him to go. His hands sweat while he is in the chair, and he bows as a thank you before leaving the room.

Pippin: No. He goes there for fun, because he wants to try the laugh gas. Claims to have cavities more often than he actually does, just so he can take a handful of the candy offered for kids when he leaves.

Merry: No. He goes in, flirts with the receptionist, sits in the chair, and goes home.

Aragorn: No, but before he became King and he went there once, there was a shit ton of cavities and it took him like 3 appointments to take care of them all.

Gimli: Doesn't even go. Some of his teeth are probably some gold he struck in his mouth himself to resemble teeth.

Boromir: Terrified. Said "Gondor has no dentist, Gondor needs no dentist" so many times that he was dragged to the dentist (next to his house) by force. He acts all cool, but when he stands up from the chair, its just wet from his sweat.

Legolas: Doesn't need a dentist. Sometimes goes there to hold Boromir's hand and to look at all the equipment in amazement.

Gandalf: Doesnt need a dentist, but goes there from time to time just to sit down on the chair and talk to the dentist and the assistants for hours. He does this so often he has been banned from several places because 'he keeps wasting work time by endless talking'.

And as a bonus:

Bilbo: Passes out the second he sees the drill.

a hobbit and a half-foot meet

[shurikthereject]

The half animal au won in my last poll! Thank you all for voting!

Honestly didn't expect it to win! I was so sure the pirates au would i win i prepared some sketches already lol. And it appears i bit too much to chew with this au. Because of the different proportions it's harder to draw certain poses so i apologize if they came out a little wonky. But hey! The whole purpose of this au was so that i can practice drawing animals, and im getting better little by little! I know i promised more of the company but it came out to be harder than i thought to accomplish that 😭. I was able to stuff Fili and Kili into the sketches tho! Anyway hope you enjoy this bunch!

If y'all have any questions on this au i will gladly answer them!

I've had the key for about 2 months now and I just got the acorn bell at an Oddities expo ✨ Saw the acorn and realized what I could do since I have the key already so I bought it 😂 Maybe if Bilbo had a bell Thorin would be able to stop him from sneaking off and getting into trouble 😂

There’s nothing quite as jarring as writing a professional blog post for my Day Job, then coming home and writing extremely frivolous gay fanfiction about a dwarf and a hobbit.

The last sneak peek before the day of release!

Enjoy this snippet of my new fic, The Burden Of Choice, coming out in just two days on April 25th!

~~~

“Flower crowns are a little like braiding but more like weaving. You want them to be sturdy enough that they won’t fall apart with a little light play but not so hard you strangle the stems.”  They sat in compatible silence apart from Bilbo’s instruction. Both of them were concentrating on their tasks. Thorin failed several times to get the flowers to hold their shape. After several failed attempts and dozens of snapped and discarded flowers, Thorin finally had a functioning flower crown. He placed it on the bed next to Bilbo’s and tried not to cringe at how juvenile his attempt looked in comparison. “Nimble hobbit hands are better suited to this craft than rough dwarven ones.” Thorin sighed.  “Oh, I don't know about that. The only advantage I have is decades of practice.” Bilbo set aside his crown and picked up Thorin’s, nestling it securely on his head with a smile. “It even fits me!”  “You don’t have to wear that.” He knew that Bilbo probably thought the work was shoddy, and he hated the idea of him walking around with something so ill-made. Thorin reached for the crown, intent on swapping it with the beautiful one Bilbo had made, but before his hand could grab anything, Bilbo laced his fingers through his, stopping his progress.  “I want to wear it because you made it.” Bilbo used his hand as an anchor to lean forward seductively. “because you made it for me. Rough dwarven hands and all, and I’ll have you know I’m growing very fond of how rough those hands can be.”

God I always forget how fucking autistic Bilbo is in the movies

[estethell]

In The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo is so grumpy because he decided that love is too painful and he would never love anyone again in his life, but still he tries to love his nephew Frodo

[aotearoa20]

Bilbo: (whenever he’s mildly inconvenienced) I’ll be the change I want to see in the world, but I’m going to be kind of shitty and passive aggressive about it.

Just a thing I stole and edited

Don't remember the original post bc it's been a while but it was the "they don't know I've been following them for 3 days" "that's *nameguy* he's been following us for 3 days" meme and had most of this shit...

All I did was change "following" to "creeping on", added some (un)necessary captions such as "srry wot" and "*horny elf sounds*"

I also redrew the bodies of Gandalf and Frodo(is that the name of this guy? IDR), and made slight alterations to gollum (changed his cup to a phone with camera flash on, changed hand position)

[idontcarecarebear]

I think burying Thorin with the Arkenstone was kind of a dick move on behalf of the dwarves.

Imagine how gut wrenching it is for Bilbo to watch Thorin being buried with the thing he almost murdered Bilbo for taking, the thing that drove him to his madness, to his death and the death of his nephew’s.
