"Hobbits just aggressively make friends with everything and somehow that keeps saving the world" is my favorite take on lotr

Saw someone else doing their Thorin headcanons so here are my Bilbo ones:

-Bilbo treats fili and kili like they’re children, this pleased thorin very much as he also sees them as wee pebbles

-Bilbo scolds all the young members of the party and they all stand there with their heads down mumbling apologies

-Thorin is mildy disturbed by the power Bilbo wields and often wonders how someone so paternal is not yet a father

-when the party finds out Bilbos actual age the entire party dynamic implodes for about three hours while they try to figure who this adult looking baby is on a quest with them and why Gandalf would do this to a child.

-Bilbo has to stand on a rock and explain to them that he is nearing in middle aged and is in fact a very respectable adult hobbit and not a dwarven child

-Kili starts calling Bilbo ‘baby boggins’ but when Bilbo catches him he very quickly rescinds this nickname for the sake of his ears while Bilbo will often pinch when he acts up.

-Bilbo brushed Fili and Kilis hair regularly, especially right before they arrive in any town or settlement (He’s pretty sure Kíli hissed at him once tho)

-Bilbo consoles Kili who is, by dwarven standards a wee bit of an uggo that his is very attractive by human standards and he shouldn’t feel bad, stating that is he were more clean shaven and cut his hair he would make a handsome hobbit (Thorin is appalled and begs his stupid impressionable nephew to not cut his hair)

-Fili likes Bilbo brushing his hair, unlike kili and often closes his eyes and has a little nap while the hobbit works

-Bilbo is confused why he can’t rebraid the boys hair, stating he used to braid his female friends hair when he was a sprout and the whole company is appalled that their sweet hobbit is such a scandalous little thing, courting so many women

Сказки Средиземья | Tales of Middle Earth

English text below

Сцена: Лотлориэн. Ночь. Лунный свет касается воды, как дыхание.

Галадриэль склоняется над своим волшебным зеркалом. Её лицо спокойно, но в глубине глаз — тайна тысячелетий. Она не ищет будущего.

Сегодня она желает увидеть того, кто давно поселился в ее сердце.

И вода отзывается.

На зеркальной глади проступает его лицо.

Гэндальф — не в сером, но в белом, озарённый светом. Он не смотрит на неё. Он смотрит сквозь время, вглубь миров. Его взгляд тревожен.

Он думает о судьбах народов. О зле, которое просыпается.

О себе — никогда.

Галадриэль улыбается чуть заметно. Не как королева — как женщина, которая любит того, кто выше любви.

«Ты всегда был светом, Олорин. Не для меня — для мира.

И всё же… я помню тебя.

Помню, как ты говорил с цветами. Как смеялся над небом.

Помню тебя до всех битв, до всех масок.»

Она не плачет. Эльфийки не плачут по тем, кого не могут иметь.

Они помнят. И хранят.

Она касается воды, и его образ исчезает, как ветер в листве.

Но тепло остаётся.

«Если бы мне позволили, я бы была для тебя тенью в саду.

Но ты должен светить тем, кто остался в тьме.

А я — сохраню этот свет.»

Scene: Lothlórien. Night.

Moonlight touches the water like a breath.

Galadriel leans over her magic mirror.

Her face is calm, yet in the depths of her eyes—

a mystery of millennia.

She does not seek the future.

Tonight, she wishes to see the one

who long ago settled in her heart.

And the water answers.

Upon the mirror’s surface,

his face begins to take shape.

Gandalf—not in gray, but in white, bathed in light.

He does not look at her.

He gazes through time, into the heart of the worlds.

His eyes are troubled.

He thinks of the fate of peoples,

of evil awakening.

Of himself—never.

Galadriel smiles faintly.

Not as a queen—

but as a woman who loves one who stands above love.

“You have always been light, Olórin.

Not for me—but for the world.

And yet… I remember you.

I remember you speaking to flowers.

Laughing with the sky.

I remember you before all battles, before all masks.”

She does not weep.

Elven women do not cry

for those they cannot have.

They remember.

And they keep.

She touches the water,

and his image vanishes—

like wind through the leaves.

But the warmth remains.

“If I were allowed,

I would have been a shadow in your garden.

But you must shine

for those still lost in the dark.

And I—

I will carry that light.”

I’m fine with Thorin being taller than Bilbo, but there’s something unsettling about seeing tall!Thorin (Richard behind the scenes in costume)

Like, Richard in makeup and a hoodie? Beautiful, majestic

Richard in his full costume standing next to Ian? Terrifying

Imagine 6’2” Thorin Oakenshield running at you at full speed

[thetiredprometheus]

Not all who wander are lost. However if you see a dark haired dwarven King walk past you for the fourth time in a row, he likely is lost. Very lost. Please show him the way to Bag-end

Okay, so Merry’s quote about being found after the battle of “It’s not always a misfortune being overlooked” implies that it’s happened to him before.

Our poor overlooked hobbit, he’s so perceptive, brave as hell, and so sweet. He’s also honestly probably the smartest of the hobbits, and he is, unfortunately overlooked quite a bit.

Like everyone who has seen only the movies kind of think of him as mainly Pippin’s sidekick, funny, and a bit brave, but I think the movies did not do his intelligence justice. I just saw a post online that read “rank the four hobbits” and not one person had Merry first, and only a few had him second, and that is just disheartening. Sam was mainly everyone’s number one or only choice.

Sam is a wonderful hobbit, and he stands up so much, pushing himself and protecting Frodo. But we can also see Merry standing up, protecting Pippin when he can, being brave enough to sneak into a battle he was asked to stay out of simply because he wants to help in any way he can, and again, he’s quite literally the smartest of those four hobbits.

I love Sam so much, and he deserves all the love he gets, but I think Merry needs a bit more love out there, because, just like in the movies and books, he is overlooked in the world.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I feel like Legolas watching Pippin eat like an entire journey’s worth of Lembas Bread must be like how all my European friends felt when i made them pancakes at 7 am
