Completely unintentional but Gimli wearing gloves instead of finger prosthetics and then the same thing happening to Oin a decade later bc of John Callen’s allergy to the materials is very cute its like dainty hands run in his family lol

[theranilord]

• Fili tackled the orc attacking Sigrid and Oin jumped in front of her and Tilda after the table was upturned.

• Second time Tauriel saved Kili with a throwing knife

• Then Fili pulled Bain down to dodge an attack. They're so aware of the non fighters, I love it.

[basil--and--sage]

Some of my other headcanons got some attention, so I thought I'd post some for the rest of the company, starting with Óin:

(Uncle Thorin, part 1, part 2), (Dwalin)

Óin is unflappable, always and in every situation. The house is on fire, somebody is in labour and Orcs are attacking, all at the same time? Óin will sigh, get up from his armchair and deal with it

he has the driest sense of humour

he's painfully forthright, but never cruel

he doesn't talk much and likes being alone

he's deaf in one ear since Azanulbizar and started to use an ear trumpet for his good ear after getting hard of hearing as he aged

he's dedicated to his craft (=asexual)

he takes his profession as a healer and midwife very serious and there is nothing you cannot tell him. He won't judge you and do everthing in his power to help you with your ailments/problems

he's also incredibly discreet, in his profession and in private. Tell Óin your secret and nobody will ever hear about it

he lives with Glóin and his family, though he usually hides away in his room to brood over literature or work on his droughts and medicines

he's very knowledgeable about herbs and healing plants

he is well known for his competencies. If things go south, you get Óin, be it a complicated breech birth or a severe infection. Óin will come and if you are too poor to pay him, you will figure something out together after the patient is better. (he is known to be charitable, one of the reasons he lives with Glóin instead of having his own home)

he's a great dancer

he delivered Fíli, Kíli and Gimli

he doesn't enjoy fighting. He does it, if it's necessary, and he's good at it, but he rather leaves it to the warriors of the family, like his cousin Dwalin

his main reason for joining the quest is to keep his foolish relatives alive

there are rumours that he dropped Gimli during childbirth, but these are nothing but slander! Don't listen to anybody spreading this nonsense, especially not his dimwit of a brother - !!!

(feel free to send requests for other The Hobbit characters or maybe certain situations [we already have uncle Thorin, maybe Thorin in other circumstances etc]. I can't promise I will come up with something, but I will try!)

[meteors-lotr]

Fíli in bards house as the orcs attack: We can handle it, hang back if you wish. Óin: Don't you worry laddie, I've had my fair share of tussles. Kíli, delirious out of his mind: Like the mushroom? Fíli: Those are truffles. Kíli: Like the sprout? Bofur: Those are brussels. Kíli: Like the trout? Tauriel: THAT'S A FISH!

[brainrotbabe24]

Hi all! So I took a break to work on some art. We got an Oin wip and gloin should be coming soon! School has been hell so I apologize for the sudden silence 💕🥺

ooo #22 and 23 for the salty ask list please?

Thank you so much for your ask! 💙

22. Popular character you hate?

Oh boy, that's tough! To be honest, I don't think I hate any of the popular characters. Even if some may annoy me, they still have traits I appreciate. I mostly have issues with some of the movie characters.

Legolas - Please forgive me for this one. I adore him in LOTR (especially in the books!), but I think The Hobbit movies did him a disservice. First they made him a part of that strange love triangle, and then, in a movie about the quest of a group of dwarves and a hobbit, they made him steal their thunder during BOTFA. I understand that this decision was made by the filmmakers in order to make more Legolas fans want to see the movies but - in my opinion - doing the repeat of "rubber/antigrav Legolas" was not the cleverest idea. YMMV.

Goblin King - I know that his movie version is admired by many, especially because of Barry Humphries taking on this role. He did a great job there, but the portrayal is just not my cup of tea, I did not find him as funny as I imagined I would (I just have a weird sense of humor, I know many people think he was hilarious, and that's great! Personal preferences, you know).

Beorn - I hate it that there was not enough of him in the movies 😭

What about you? I'd love to hear what popular characters you dislike and why 👀 23. Unpopular character you love?

Okay, here, I understand "unpopular" as a character that is not necessarily a baddie, but more of a background character in The Hobbit. And it's definitely Óin! I adore this elderly and well-read dwarf, a healer (now you know who invented "OINtment", right?), a master of starting fires even in the toughest of conditions. He may seem comical in some scenes in the movies but I think his ear trumpet just adds a lot to the depth of his character - despite his disability, he still decides to join the Quest! And then just look at his fancy beard braids, he's such a great character (and John Callen made him really come to life!). I wish we had more of him in the movies!

The hobbit fandom is so beautiful:

Oh this character has a physical disability, lets come up with 50 ways that their community will rally around them in a series universe accurate care methods to make their life easier.

Oh this character has brain damage of a learning disability? They are treated with the same level of respect and understanding as everyone else and what ever they are able to contribute from creating things to simply being present with their friends and family is enough

Oh this character is gender queer? Screw it let’s take the entire fandom and just remove gender constructs as we know them from several races. Making any sexism or homophobia seem as truly strange and off putting as it is not normal in these societies.

The hobbit fandom is based as fuck

[proxyeve]

Also Bilbo looks like he's about to cry💀😭

I LOVE THEM ALL SM THEY'RE SO SILLY🤭

[tolkien-povs]

Fuck "found family". It's "Thorin's Company" from now on.

[ambusterpm]

To those of you who said make Oin a lady?? You're geniuses So here is lady Oin coming to see to a little patient in their bedroom

[idontcarecarebear]

I was always a little disappointed that after Thorin, Fili and Kili died in the hobbit that Dís didn’t assume the throne and become Queen of Erebor.

I don’t know why but I just felt so natural to me, but I’m sure she was so heartbroken and wanted to heal quietly but I know she would have been a good queen.
