Rules of the Road (more like requests, advice, and suggestions, but that’s not as alliterative)
Any and all mediums welcome (except ai, fuck ai)!!! Dollmakers, written description, collage, 3d models, make a dwarrowdam in Sims4!! Variety is the spice of life, embrace it!
Combine or ignore as many prompts as you feel led, I know all too well how overwhelming month-long prompt challenges can feel lmao.
On that note, take a breather if you need to!! This is for fun, and if it stops being fun that's not good for anybody!
Support your fellow artists, like comment reblog that whole shebang. You could find a collab partner or a yapping companion, who knows???

And most importantly: Design the dwarrowdams the world needs to see 💖
I’m not sure if I want to post this on Instagram or not since I’ve basically sworn off the app for anything but stories and dms, but if a Hobbit/LotR centered page wants to repost on Instagram lemme know!!
Border brush by the amazing @lonicera-edulis btw (brush pack fully available and FREE for CSP, we’re working on making a Procreate-friendly pack)
Okay I’ve notice this artist back in August, I didn’t want to say anything at first, they had their first post (now deleted) that was practically identical to another, Me and and another artist told them it was okay to get inspiration from this artist but not to trace their work and post it as your own. They deleted that post and kept on posting since. I didn’t want to presume so I let them be. After all I didn’t want to cause trouble by potentially accusing someone of something that they might not have done.
But every time they came across my fyp, ive noticed the same thing every time. Traced art and claiming it as their own and posting as theirs. Sure it they have slight differences, but I was still able to recognize the art they took it from. They seem to be new, their account started back in August. and I didn’t want to bash anyone especially a new artist in this fandom. But too many times I’d noticed traced artwork :/
More examples I’ve noticed:
And their latest one:
These are my finding for the past months.
I don’t know what to do, I’ve asked for some help in this situation by asking in my latest post. Some have told me I should post this to spread awareness and I’m glad to do it. I’ll message both artist soon. Definitely Lua first. I didn’t message feather grass at first because I was worried that if I called them out, they’ll block me :/ not thinking back on it I should’ve talked to them anyway,,,
So please spread this around so people could be aware of them. They have other art as well but I don’t know if they’re traced art.
These fics include mpreg and cabbage patch hobbits.
Gardening by The Feels Whale (miscellea)
Bilbo Baggins arrived home late one afternoon in the middle of the week and the entire west Farthing is still talking about it.
Poor Mister Baggins. He was doomed to be a nine-days wonder no matter what and is it any wonder after a year-long adventure? Even the Tooks haven’t the influence to hush that up, but Mad Baggins seems to have managed to silence every tongue in the Shire on that subject which would be awe-inspiring ...if not for the way he decided to go about it.
OR: That one where Middle Earth seems to be unclear about where baby Hobbits come from.
Eastern Homecomings by Sarcasmcat
After an unprecedented Goblin attack on the Shire, Bilbo finds himself whisked back to Erebor with his son he never wanted Thorin to know about.
Dumb as Rocks by hchollym
Bilbo never imagined his pregnancy going quite like this. Crack.
aka the one where the company doesn't believe that Bilbo is pregnant until the baby is born.
A Home for my Heart by Moonrose91
For things Bilbo could not change, he was condemned to a life of isolation, with the belief that none could love him. And then a Dwarf came to Hobbiton.
Growing Dwarves (And Kingdoms) by Lumeleo
Sometimes, Bilbo finds, not everything goes according to plan.
First an injury and the coming winter delay his leaving Erebor, then word from the Shire leaves him mourning his beloved Bag End. And because getting added to Thorin's council isn't trouble enough, Kili is in love with an elf, Fili may or may not have his eyes on a certain little scribe, everyone seems to think he is a lady hobbit, and Thorin needs to find someone to marry.
Okay. So the last part might not be trouble, exactly, except for the part where it makes Bilbo's rather hopeless attachment even more painful. Or it wouldn't if he hadn't possibly accidentally promised to provide Thorin with an heir... and Dáin just might still be scheming something.
Fortunately, if there's one thing hobbits are good at, it's growing things. And Thorin did promise him a garden.
When the Sun Rises, I will... by Ragsweas
Bilbo Baggins of Bag End was not a very respectable Hobbit. No respectable Hobbit had a sword and crossbow hanging in their home, nor did they have Dwarves as family. But Bilbo Baggins did, and all of Shire knew of his husband, blacksmith Thorin Oakenshield.
When Bilbo comes home to find his Husband earlier than expected, he learns of a quest to reclaim Erebor. It is a death mission. Bilbo knows that Dwarves are stubborn creatures, and none more than Thorin himself. But nobody said that Bilbo himself was any less stubborn.
So he will follow his dearest husband across all of Middle Earth, through plains and mountains and forests, all while hiding the true nature of their relationship (Dwarven politics never helped anyone), brushing off some old wounds (and getting new ones) and finding out new things about the dwarf Bilbo calls husband (and his extended family).
Nobody ever said love was easy, after all.
Grow and Grow Love by SOABA
To Thorin’s great astonishment, Bilbo is capable of growing something much more incredible than pretty flowers and green food in his garden.
Merciless by silverneko9lives0
After the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo stays long enough to make sure Thorin lives, then sneaks off in the middle of the night with Gandalf, carrying more than he thought...
Several years later, Thorin returns for him.
An Unexpected Son by Luthorchickv2
Bilbo left Erebor with a treasure more precious then gold or rings. What happens when the dwarves discover Frodo? Will Thorin bend enough to admit he was wrong to force Bilbo to leave?
What Peace Brings by orphan_account
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Five Armies, Thorin's belief in Bilbo's betrayal has lessened, but not enough to take back his banishment.
Bilbo Baggins, accompanied by meddlesome wizard Gandalf, journey back toward the Shire with heavy hearts. When they reach Rivendell, Lord Elrond convinces Bilbo to start a new life amongst the peace and plenty in the Hidden Valley. Bilbo agrees, knowing that the child he carries will be endangered on the road and that the warm welcome and healing expertise of the elves will be just what he needs to start anew.
However, as part of the new found peace amongst Erebor and its neighboring lands, an envoy is sent to Rivendell in gratitude of the shelter they provided the company of Thorin Oakenshield. In this envoy are several members of said company.
Faced with this reunion, Bilbo must decide if keeping his secret and thereby preserving his heart from possible hurt is more important than forgiving mistakes and moving on from the past.
Soulmates And Where to Find Them by Lumeleo
Hobbits, Bilbo finds, have an exceedingly simple way of finding their soulmates: You fall in love with who you will, and once you both feel the same, you'll get your marks. Dwarves, in typical dwarven fashion, do everything backwards, getting their marks first and then trying to find the matching one. Really, he's quite content to be courted by Thorin, who has no mark at all.
Kíli has no mark, either, until they come to Mirkwood, and things get needlessly complicated. Because of course elves do things yet another way, as though Bilbo didn't have enough of a headache already.
Of course, there's also the ultimate question: how to tell about your pregnancy to a partner who is not only gold-mad, but also doesn't believe in the existence of illegitimate children?
au where anakin and padmé go public with their marriage, maybe during the war maybe it’s after the war and it’s finally safe for them to reveal, everybody is shocked, obi-wan feels especially betrayed, the jedi order is like ???? uhm excuse me
but then!!!!!! one of the senators for a planet that obi-wan and anakin previously aided reveals that!!! by god, the anidala marriage cannot be recognized as valid because obi-wan and anakin are currently married on that planet and their marriage supersedes/nullifies this new one because it was never annulled!!!!! they’ve been married for (insert number) of years!!!!! (idk galactic ruling that recognizes planetary marriage as valid for the whole galaxy to save couples from having to remarry each other every single time they go to a new planet!)
sudden record scratch; come again? obi-wan kenobi, legally married to anakin skywalker? in secret? the galaxy is shook, the Team is confirmed married? holonet is losing their shit, padmé is gobsmacked and hurt
anakin is frantically trying to convince her, no angel, that’s not true! i never married my master—i would Know if i was married to my master—we never even touched each other! obi-wan is near catatonic from this whiplash in news, what do you mean he’s been married to his padawan this entire time!!!! the council is just watching this like a tennis match
probably one of the clones, rex or cody, brings up that one mission to this planet where in order to respect the cultural practice, obikin allowed themselves to be married by ceremony so they could proceed in getting the government to trust them and actually allow their help blah blah blah. it finally sinks in and obikin are now recalling the exact mission and how awkward it was for them to spend the night together in that ceremonial sleeping area, surround by people expecting them to consummate, and the awkwardness that followed them for months after they left the planet….
“wait—master, i thought you said you were going to petition for a divorce after we left that planet!”
“i did??? i thought the paperwork went through???”
“i don’t remember signing anything!”
anyway, bureaucracy failures and also there was a War going on, the divorce papers never made it back to court or approval, they are still legally married, and that means anakin and padmé’s marriage is null and void. but that also means anakin is legally obi-wan’s husband. which is a thought that spins around anakins head so dizzyingly, it cannot be processed.
ok, well that’s fine, they can just submit for a divorce now, padmé reasons, and since they’re finally public, they can have the dream wedding anakin’s always dreamt of!
except, now the jedi order wants to have words with anakin. and now, anakin is unable to let go of the concept of being obi-wan’s husband.
Idk if you read fic but do you have any Obikin fic recs? Your art makes me want to read some 🙏
I absolutely have fics for you anon and I am honored my art makes you want some.
Some of my favorite fics, in absolutely no order:
Patience by Why_is_my_nose_a_carrot: I think probably the fic that got me into obikin specifically. AU where Qui-Gon is Anakin's master, but Obi-Wan stays his best friend. Very slowburn, but my god. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship, the way they write Obi and Ani as friends, UGH! Apparently the author got a lot of flack for this fic for some reason so if you do read it give them love, or at the very least don't harrass them jfc.
Something Blue by @darthwillies : Really love this fic and its concept. Obi-Wan marries uncrispy Vader in order to secure galaxy wide peace, now we witness their domestic "bliss". I think this fic is probably my favorite depiction of Vaderkin, someone who is still desperate to be forgiven, but only by the ones who matter. Desperate enough for love to keep it prisoner but still resentful of the reminder. And poor Obi-Wan, proud but insecure. The dynamic is very intriguing to me.
Amarilli by @darthwillies : Since I'm already talking about Graciously's work, I have to recommend this one as well. Obi-Wan realizes he has feelings for Anakin, panics, confesses, panics again. It's great. I love this fic not only because it's so beautifully written, but because the entire time I was reading it I just kept thinking how real it was. Everyone's reaction to The Feelings, the confession conversation, the aftermath conversation. All of it is so in character and believable. The end is great, and it left me wanting more.
Conceal Me What I Am by @himboskywalker : Cat's out of the bag, I LOVE arranged marriage AUs. And this one is so good. Senator Obi-Wan marries Jedi Anakin in order to help the Jedi/Republic's image during the war. But Anakin's an Omega posing as an Alpha! And Obi-Wan's an Alpha posing as a Beta! What will they do??? Fall in love about it obviously. The slow-burn and build-up is so good, I had to read it all in one sitting because I was desperate for them to finally be together.
An Unlikely Duo by @grapenehifics : Modern setting where total opposites Anakin and Obi-Wan fall in love with each other. Super sappy sweet fic that explores their relationship as it grows. There're so many little details in this fic that I just adore, and everytime I re-read they make me go awwwwww all over again. It also inspired me to make Ani and Obi in Animal Crossing.
Across the Stars by @unfortunate17 : Yes, I love this fic. Yes, it makes me bite my nails worrying about their future. Anakin is a time traveler who always travels to Obi-Wan. It's so sweet and the concept is so interesting. Without spoiling, the way the story unfolds is super interesting narratively speaking and is fleshed out enough to give you some ideas about why the traveling happens. Idk man just read it you won't be disappointed.
be careful not to choke on your admirations by @tennessoui : Thank you to this fic for making me google Who Is Korkie Star Wars. (I'm trying to finish TCW don't RUSH me Katie) Anakin babysits for hot dilf divorcee Obi-Wan, who he is desperately in love with. Honestly I love all of tennessoui's work so you should read all of them, but this fic is my go to. I love the flow of their conversations, the way that Obi-Wan is so obviously crazy about Anakin and Anakin is of course oblivious. Your honor, they're a little family. I love them.
Heartbeat Drives You Mad by @renlyslittlerose : Everything about this fic is entirely excellent. Depressed alcoholic Obi-Wan falls in love with his hot young neighbor in the 80's. What more could you want. Come for Anakin in short-shorts and stay for Obi-Wan's complex journey to healing. I really love the translation of Anakin's character in this fic, and the way that Obi-Wan describes him. 10/10 read it now.
the root of peony by @tideswept : Anakin and Obi-Wan served in the Napoleonic Wars, now they deal with the aftermath. I love doctor Obi-Wan and I LOVE their relationship in this fic. This fic is simultaneously very cozy, angsty, and sweet. I love the way that their relationship develops, and I love the world building.
are you mine tomorrow by @jedibongrip : I just read this fic again and I forgot how sweet it was. Obi-Wan finds Anakin on Tatooine during the war, and marries him in a green-card marriage so that Anakin can stay on Coruscant. Even though this is an Obi-Wan centric fic, I love how you can constantly feel Anakin's presence and his love throughout the fic. Obi-Wan is so silly, your husband loves you, idiot.
Lux Æterna by @obiwanobi : Hey do you want to be sad? Read this. It's a surprise :) Beautiful. I can't believe you've done this.
Obi-Two by @virahaus : I love this concept and I love the way it's written. Post-Prequel Obi-Wan is sent to the council meeting where Anakin is denied the rank of master. I love a sassy huffy Obi-Wan and this fic has TWO sassy Obi-Wans. I also love the idea of Obi-Wan becoming significantly less Jedi as time goes on, and I love how this fic depicts that.
OKAY this got a bit out of hand so I'm going to stop here. If you'd like more I'd be happy to supply some, and if you have any recommendations for me please send them!
