I got bored and made a tumblr account. I may or may not post random stuff. I'm in a lot of fandoms so I'll probably be posting some fanart or whatever.
IN THE BOOK!!!! In the book after they had successfully driven Smaug out of the mountain, Thorin comes up to Bilbo and gives him the mithril shirt, just like in the movie, HOWEVER in the book he continues to adorn Bilbo with jewelry and then plants a crown of pearls and white gems and crystals atop his head
…the KING under the mountain…puts a CROWN on bilbos head…
OH I BET BILBO WAS DELIGHTED DURING EVERY MOMENT OF IT!
Canon Bilbo is vain, in the sense that he likes dressing well and looking good. Even if jewelry were not included in his usual style, having Thorin adorning him, showering him in things he found pretty, oh Bilbo would have the time of his life!
BUT HONESTLY I'M LOSING MY MARBLES AT THE CROWN'S MENTION! Put that together with the mithril coat as a courting/wedding gift, and THORIN WAS BASICALLY OFFERING BILBO HIS EVERYTHING! His riches, his position, his kingdom!
...it makes the Arkenstone debacle hurts even more, doesn't it?

commented on a tiktok about the scene where Thorin comes out of his dragon sickness bc of how goofy it looks (in the bts Peter does say that they couldn’t figure out what to do with the scene) and I thought of an alternative that would go super hard
Richard’s great at acting crazy bc his eye acting is bonkers, right?
Imagine Thorin’s walking around Erebor with those gold sickness whispers in his ears like in the actual scene but he sees movement out of the corner of his eye
He whips around and shouts to see who’s there but doesn’t get an answer
He sees movement again and chases after them, shouting out “THIEVES!” (as a callback to Gollum)
As he runs (and run here is used loosely bc of how heavy his coat and crown are), you get glimpses of his reflection in the gold around Erebor. He stumbles and chases the intruder, getting closer to the throne room.
There’s a brief moment where Thorin gets a better look at the thief and he thinks it’s his father (which cracks open the gold sickness to bring back the Thorin Oakenshield Gandalf first found for the quest). He calls out to him and gives chase again, this time more desperate. He takes off some of the gold items he’s wearing in his haste.
Finally, he catches up to his “father” in the throne room where he sees his dark figure between the pillars. Thorin picks up a torch to see better and approaches.
In the growing light, more features come clear on the figure. The coat. The crown.
“Grandfather?” Thorin asks in horror. We get a flashback to Thror’s beheading but from Thorin’s POV and then a shot of it reflected in young!Thorin’s eyes.
In the present, Thorin’s steps closer with the torch and we realize no one’s there.
It’s a gold mirror.
Thorin’s not seeing his grandfather but himself.
The torch drops.
We return to the rest of the shot where Thorin throws his crown with realization.
Every year Tumblr holds its sexy people contests. And as a result controversial figures around the world seem to die. I purpose we sacrifice Donald Trump for this years contests.
