Behold! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, returned from the deep woods and here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What is your favourite headcanon?
hello Bagginshield Cryptid!! it's so good to see you, hope you've been doing well ☆
i can't just say one because there are sooo many great headcanons out there haha! but these three are the prominent ones in my mind recently:
Thorin immediately being attracted to Bilbo when he first arrived at Bag End. you have no idea how much i love it when fic writers mention that in their fics. giggling, kicking my feet, burying my head in my pillow.
literally anything food-related. i am a h0e for food-centric storytelling. in particular, the headcanon that Thorin is used to eating less than the average dwarf and even skipping meals altogether because of how he's lived his whole life and Bilbo simply refuses that to continue in his presence. PLEASE. this wonderful post by @wildflower182 is *chefs kiss* a perfect example of this hc
this one's a little sad and had been in my mind the whole time i worked on my grief piece for bagginshieldtober: i think about how Bilbo probably forgot about the acorn for a whilst when he arrived home from Erebor. i think about how, when he finally found it in the pockets of his tattered coat he is struck with bittersweet melancholy. he'd use a kerchief to wipe it clean of any dust and carefully place it on his writing desk. how he'd spend so much time looking at it sometimes instead of starting his book. i think about how long it probably took him to finally decide to plant the acorn. bury it in the ground.
