Your ideas are so wonderful and I absolutely love how you think! Since you have such a great imagination I was wondering do you have any headcanons for a fem bagginshield?
In Tolkien's lore, Dwarf-women rarely travel, and when they must, they dress exactly like men to protect themselves from outsiders. For the entire first half of the journey, Bella genuinely believes Thorina is a Dwarven king. Thorina wears heavy iron armor, talks in a gravelly, low register, and keeps her braided beard immaculate. Bella only discovers the truth when Thorina gets injured by Wargs, and Bella has to help Oin dress her wounds. Bella is utterly stunned, not by the fact that Thorina is a woman, but by the realization of how much terrifying, lonely pressure this princess has been carrying to keep her small people safe in a hostile world
Because Dwarf-women are so rare, they are treated with absolute, sacred reverence by their kin, and they choose their mates with extreme caution often never marrying at all. Thorina, consumed by war and exile, had long accepted she would die unwed. When Bella saves her from Azog at the Pine Trees, Thorina experiences a violent, overwhelming shift in her Dwarven instincts. To see a soft, short-lived Halfling woman throw herself in front of a Pale Orc out of pure devotion completely breaks Thorina's stoic defenses. From that night on, Thorina's protective instincts become borderline terrifying; she treats Bella not as a hired thief, but as a sacred treasure that the universe uniquely granted to her
Their cultural views on womanhood clash in hilarious but touching ways. Bella’s idea of a proper woman involves clean aprons, baking flawless seedcakes, and hosting perfect dinner parties. Thorina’s idea of womanhood involves maintaining tactical shield-walls, mining precious gems, and leading men into bloody battle. During quiet nights on the road, Bella tries to teach Thorina how to properly patch clothes using fine, invisible Shire stitches. Thorina, whose giant hands are used to heavy smithing hammers, constantly rips the delicate fabric, growling in frustration. Yet, she sits submissively at Bella's feet for hours, letting the Hobbit scold her, secretly loving the gentle touch of Bella's small fingers against her palms
Because Thorina is a female ruler who defied the odds to reclaim her throne, the young Dwarven girls of Erebor look up to her like a goddess. But they grow equally obsessed with Queen Bella. Bella refuses to let Erebor remain just a cold fortress of war. She creates the first royal greenhouse, imports Shire flowers, and introduces the gruff Dwarven miners to the concept of "Afternoon Tea." The combination of Thorina's iron military rule and Bella’s soft, unyielding domestic management turns Erebor into the most prosperous, culturally unique kingdom in Middle-earth
