;;just FYI, I’m going to be leaving for Disney World on the 22nd and will be coming back on the 29th! I have no plans at this time to take my laptop with me and I may or may not be here by mobile, depending. I won’t be doing any replies here for that week (most likely) but I AM coming back and this will only be a weeek long hiatus. I know due to my nature of coming in and out for long periods of time since the start of this blog this may give off the wrong impression, so here’s my official word on it; week long hiatus, WILL be back. Thank you!!

closed starter @gentlegiantingvar

Why had he thought he could ever, truly return home? Afer all that had happened? All he had seen? It had been a foolish notion to be sure, but Bilbo tried anyway. With his belongings returned to him from the premature auction he put his home and affairs in order and attempted normalcy. He went about his daily schedule, tending his vegetable garden, reading his books, going to market at the start of the month, collecting his wash...attempting, however futile, to be the Hobbit he was before he'd left.

But there was trouble. He'd find his hands shaking when he sowed the earth, when the words occurred to him as keen as if they were being said right then and there, "Plant your trees and watch them grow..." and the memory of Thorin's bloodied but ever hopeful smile struck him like an arrow. He'd attempt to read a book, something benign, and inevitably there'd be a word or a character or turn of phrase that would remind him of Fili and Kili or both and any fond memories of them would soon turn sour, into the image of Fili being impaled before him on Azog's blade.

The worst of it by far was the inability to sleep. His attempts were wracked with nightmares of battle that woke him up in a cold sweat, leaving him with nothing but the dull ache of grief that he seemed to keep locked safely in a box within him. Such grief couldn't be contained as nuisance trinkets were and it was in the dark of night that he'd often find himself sobbing into his sheets, overcome.

Bilbo could never flatter himself that he was a typical Hobbit at heart. He had always blamed his inability to fit quite right into the expectations of things on his mother's Tookish side and that had been enough before...but now, there was something deeper that had taken hold within him. Gandalf was right; the quest had forever changed him both for good and bad. On his heart remained a deep scar left by the deaths of those he'd become closest to...and the indescribable yearning to leave again.

It was not so much a romantic yearning for adventure this time, but rather a need to escape. He was lonelier here in the Shire, here where no one had any remote understanding of what he'd endured and witnessed, than he would have been on his lonesome, away from prying, unsympathetic eyes. It was for this reason that Bilbo left again in the dead of night, no particular goal in mind other than to leave the now cloistered feel of his home. His grief needed air.

He headed onward alone in the cool of the early autumn night, away from Hobbiton to the borders of the Shire, past even Frogmorton to the river that separated from Buckland. He had half a mind to go exploring in the Old Forest, but memories of Mirkwood filled his mind and, inevitably, the already heavy weight on his heart. He instead headed for the hills north of Bree. It wasn't a wise course but Bilbo couldn't find it in him to care.

In the distance he saw what appeared to be oddly shaped, oddly colored hills that moreover resembled a very large man's knees. They were unfamiliar to him and, naturally, Bilbo's curiosity bid that he go investigate despite his better judgement. It probably wasn't a cave troll, he thought, as drew closer to try to better discern what it was he was looking at. While far too big, the figure had the deceptive bearing of a Man, reminding him somewhat of the giant that was Beorn. Giant- a giant! Could it have been...?

He hid as best he could and watched, watched (for however rude it was to watch someone sleep) to see if there was any change in the being's movement. Where had he come from? What had landed him on the borders of the Shire of all places? He could only imagine the reactions of his fellow Halflings if such a being wandered into the Shire proper. Did he harbor ill intent or was he just passing through? All of this Bilbo set out to discover.

“Nothing? Nothing indeed!” Bilbo huffed, rolling his eyes all but out of their sockets at the dramatic display. “You’ve had it coming for a good while now, as you well know! Nothing to deserve-...! Honestly.”

J.R.R. Tolkien quotes

“All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost.”

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

“There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”

“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”

“The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.”

“Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

“I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.”

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”

“I am glad you are here with me. Here at the end of all things.”

“Courage is found in unlikely places.”

“It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.”

“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”

“Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.”

“A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it.”

“I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.”

“In this hour, I do not believe that any darkness will endure.”

“It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit.”

“The world is full enough of hurts and mischances without wars to multiply them.”

“If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. ”

“I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”

“You have nice manners for a thief and a liar.“

“It is useless to meet revenge with revenge; it will heal nothing.”

“Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here too after all the absurd things you’ve done since you left home.”

“Pay heed to the tales of old wives. It may well be that they alone keep in memory what it was once needful for the wise to know.”

“It is perilous to study too deeply the arts of the Enemy, for good or for ill.”

“I wished to be loved by another, but I desire no man’s pity.”

“The whole thing is quite hopeless, so it’s no good worrying about tomorrow. It probably won’t come.”

“Sorry! I don’t want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea -any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!”

“How do you move on? You move on when your heart finally understands that there is no turning back.”

“A red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night.”

“Don’t go where I can’t follow.”

“I may be a burglar…but I’m an honest one, I hope, more or less.”

“For victory is victory, however small, nor is its worth only from what follows from it.”

“I have passed through fire and deep water, since we parted. I have forgotten much that I thought I knew, and learned again much that I had forgotten.”

“Why must you speak your thoughts? Silence, if fair words stick in your throat, would serve all our ends better.”

“If you sit on the doorstep long enough, I daresay you will think of something”

“There’s some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”

“On their deathbed men will speak true, they say.”
