#hecken love me a good bagginshield headcnannon

Behold! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, returned from the deep woods and here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What is your favourite headcanon?

Best of all cryptids!

It’s tough to answer, seeing as there are so many. But my overall favorite headcannon is a good ole’ “no one dies/everyone lives” trope. Thorin and Bilbo eventually get married and have a lovely life together. THAT is my favorite!

Usually, I’m sad, but okay with character death. I have never gotten over Thorin Oakenshield’s death. I read The Hobbit when I turned seven, twenty years ago, and I still have not recovered. What is a better way to feel better than to pretend like it never happens?

One headcannon I like, is that Thorin was so tired after the battle of five armies that he faked his death and lived a simple life in the shire with Bilbo.

The possibilities are endless with Thorin living. All of my favorite head cannons can reside within this topic.

Jealousy: Thorin is now king and needs a consort, so Bilbo thinks he’s going to lose Thorin to some dwarrow dam. BAM. Love it.

Cultural misunderstandings: Bilbo doesn’t understand dwarf courting and accidentally becomes engaged to Thorin (or vise verse).

Mutual pining: Bilbo refuses to admit his feelings because he is but a simple hobbit, and how could Thorin ever care for him like that…while Thorin feels like he hurt Bilbo too much in the past to be worthy of his love!

The possibilities. Are. Limitless!

This was genuinely the best and worst question to ask me and I love it, dearest cryptid! I can go on for hours about it, so thank you <3
