Me: I don't have a favorite character, I love them all equally.

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

Bilbo 'Not Like Other Hobbits' Baggins

[Commission] I had the pleasure of drawing a sweet, romantic scene for @wolfsbane-and-nettles's story Chosen Horizons. Go give it a read!

i’ve seen gimleaf fics where they each try to find out how to court by the other’s traditions. and i love those, so i think they ought to be taken a step further. and i think the way to do that would be, naturally, to make bagginshield real. allow me to explain why. ahem. after the ring is destroyed, girlfailure legolas spends two weeks poring over The Ancient Texts and stressing because his one (1) friend who WOULD help him (that’s aragorn) knows jack shit about dwarves beyond the surface (no pun intended) (well gandalf knows things but gandalf is a bitch) (he would just smile at legolas knowingly and wish him good luck instead of giving him answers).

so alas, girlfailure “shit tier ass elf” legolas is left to like, idk, sulk or something in the garden he starts at the Bestie Residence in minas tirith. and after like 2 days sam’s had enough he’s like “dude your vibes are upsetting the plants.” and legolas is like “my bad bro. it just seems i know nothing about dwarves which i probably should’ve thought about before, by elf standards, getting hitched in vegas.” and sam is like “oh dwarves? just ask mister frodo ^_^ he knows tons about dwarves!” and legolas is like “what the shit? him in particular? why does he anything about dwarves?” and sam leans in reaaaalllllll close and whispers behind his hand, “well you see mister elf, mister legolas, sir, there’s always been a very healthy amount of rumors that go around in the shire about mister frodo’s uncle, mister bilbo, and the letters he used to exchange with a certain king under the mountain.” and legolas, who was THERE, is like

I haven’t watched Dungeon Meshi, but I always enjoy the dashboard osmosis experience and have a peculiar visual memory. Here is what I believe Dungeon Meshi to be mostly about. No complicating experiences with the text, or indeed character references, fed into this extremely clear vision, which I believe I torrented directly from the astral plane at the same time as the creator was logged on

I loved that Bilbo, before Frodo even did this, offered to take the One Ring to Mordor, so Boromir is about to laugh like "who is this jokester? I didn't know there was a jester here" and then he stops because They ALL know that Bilbo is serious (although he uses a playful tone). And the Glóin looks like, "Yes. You courageous and audacious Hobbit, you're all I've remember of you."

‘Very well, very well, Master Elrond!’ said Bilbo suddenly. ‘Say no more! It is plain enough what you are pointing at. Bilbo the silly hobbit started this affair, and Bilbo had better finish it, or himself. I was very comfortable here, and getting on with my book. If you want to know, I am just writing an ending for it. I had thought of putting: and he lived happily ever afterwards to the end of his days. It is a good ending, and none the worse for having been used before. Now I shall have to alter that: it does not look like coming true; and anyway there will evidently have to be several more chapters, if I live to write them. It is a frightful nuisance. When ought I to start?’ Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories.

So Gandalf has to stop Bilbo, because he could no longer take the Ring. And to me that sounded more like: no, you're already too much of a protagonist, let other characters have a chance.

Hey, I swear Bilbo Baggins' name is repeated more times in the LotR books than the names of some members of the Fellowship. hahahahah Bilbo is a great protagonist for The Hobbit and a very charismatic supporting character in LotR.

A little sketch of an AU i had in mind for a while now. (Though this is mainly just a way to force myself to get better at drawing animals lol.)

So you guys know how Hobbits don't wear shoes? Well this is kinda the same thing except it's with pants. Hobbits are super confused why other races restricted their movements like that and think that pants are nasty uncomfortable things. The company was bewildered when Bilbo chased after them when they left Bag End with NO pants. Thorin being very embarrassed at this wouldn't look him in the eye and avoid him at all cost. Bilbo thinks he's still mad at him. Misunderstandings occur.

Anyway this sounded a lot funnier in my head. Let me know if y'all would like to see more sketched of them!

[mathelaw]

I see this scene being discussed a lot

And people always take Gandalf's comment to heart and think "Oh, poor Bilbo would've fainted if he knew!" and completely ignore the next bit

"He had no doubt that Bilbo knew quite well"

The reality is that he didn't care about its worth, he gave it to the local museum and let it sit there for years. But! He put it to use again when Frodo's life was at risk, and told him to keep it hidden... and to tell no one about it. Bilbo is not as naive as people think, just saying!
