Call me Drew🌿

18+ I reblog angst + dark content sometimes. (#mind the angst)

Sometimes I draw, sometimes I write.

You can find my art with the tag #snoot.art (#snoot.wip for works in progress) and my blurbs with the tag #snoot.writes

This blog is heavily under construction at the moment, a bit of a mess. You can find me on bluesky @weevilsnootdraws (its very empty atm🖤)

There is BAGGINSHIELD worship here. That's it, that's what it's for. Anything extra is just seasoning.

I love asks/requests, feel free to drop your thoughts or just say hi!🍄

big day for people with overactive facial expressions (me)

[hobbitsoupbowl]

when you’re drastically wounded from a dramatic battle for your homeland (which you survived thankfully) and can’t do your hair because it would upset your wounds so it gets all gooky and tangled but anyone else who could do it for you is either likewise incapacitated or hundreds of miles away so the cute burglar who you have feelings for (and almost killed but it’s ok now) steps up to the task and it’s very intimate and tender but you are emotionally constipated so all you do is sit there and pine

Moss covered rocks becoming a religious symbol for Yavanna and Aulë's love. A perfect blending of their domains that show that life can thrive even in hard, unyeilding environments

Dwarrow making big stone monuments in caves with slow dripping water, to cultivate big sheets of green moss as tributes to their maker and his lady

Do you see the vision?

#bilbo finding a temple to yavanna in erebor and being moved to tears by the sight of so much beautful green life

Oh yes yes I can see this. So, if I may join in the headcanon sharing,

I don't think worshipping Yavanna is a universal of Hobbits. I think outsiders think Hobbits universally worship her, but in reality spiritual and religious beliefs vary from Farthing to Farthing, even being differernt in the details in villages and towns vs the most rural areas, even different Hobbit to Hobbit. What counts even as "religious" is not entierly universal. Some Hobbit communities are very organised and formal in their worship, others less so.

I think Dwarvish religion is far more structured. There are specific ways to worship, to pray, specific rituals and beliefs.

I wonder about, given all this headcanoning, how the Dwarves and Bilbo approach these differences. Are the Dwarves surprised at his laid-back, "you believe what you want, I'll believe what I want" attitude? Is Bilbo surprised by their structured beliefs, how rigid the recited prayers? Are there misunderstandings or is there a point where Bilbo is told to look away, or go away from camp for a bit (Dwarves being very secretive about their culture)? Does this change as they come to trust him, and he ends up getting invited to join them; how awkward is that? Do they tell him he can do whatever worship he usually does and he almost sheepishly says that Hobbits aren't half as formal about all that? Do they misunderstand this as "it's a secret just like yours"?

Is he moved, as in your tags, by being led to that underground place of worship partly as you say because green stuff underground! but also because secretive, insular Dwarves trust him enough with their culture to show him how they think his beliefs and theirs are similar — almost they lead him there to say "we know you're a Hobbit, but we can call you one of us too now."

Hi again !

[iischaos]

Love the idea of hobbits and dwarves having very different insults due to cultural differences, so something that could start a family feud between hobbits means nothing to a dwarf and something that would cause a dwarf to consider you an enemy for life likewise means nothing to a hobbit. Or, better yet, comes off as something else entirely.

This leads to an extended series of confusing conversations between Thorin and Bilbo, who spend the quest calling each other increasingly creative insults and then not understanding why the other barely reacts. This eventually fades into nothing for Thorin and fond comments Bilbo says to himself, at least until the disaster that is the goldsickness-induced breakup right before the battle. This time, they throw the worst insults they know at each other, but as Thorin really gets going, Bilbo stops with a completely baffled look on his face before saying "what the- fuck's sake- is this really the proper time for you to be flirting with me?"

Thorin, who has spent the entire second half of the quest wondering while Bilbo hasn't been responding to his attempts at flirting, snaps out of goldsickness from sheer shock.

Everyone watching this is extremely confused.

Come imagine something funny with me, if you'd like

You know how in the Hobbit sometimes the Dwarves had to pick up and carry Bilbo because he was too slow / tiny to keep up with them? And to get him into the trees that time? Yes?

What if, somewhere while wandering around Erebor (after Smaug's gone, the goldsickness hasn't started yet, on their way up to the outside, probably somehwere in the chapter Not at Home) there's some massive bit of broken steps and the Dwarves scramble up fine but Bilbo's too short-legged for that so Thorin pulls him up. Thing is he expected the Hobbit to be, shall we say, dense: like a Dwarf. But he is not, being a Hobbit. And so Thorin shoots him up in the air (you know when you thought a bag would be heavy so you put way too much effort into lifting it, and end up lauching it and your hand three feet in the air? Yeah Thorin does this to Bilbo.)

And both look at each other, Thorin still holding him up off the ground over the broken rock. Thorin looks embarrassed, Bilbo frightened.

"What was that for?!" he demands.

"Sorry about that, Master Baggins," Thorin says placing the Hobbit on the ground beside him. "I did not expect you to be so light."

Bilbo turns red, splutters in incoherently for a moment (to accuse a Hobbit of being "light" is a terrible insult.) "I say!" he manages "I am a perfectly normal weight, considering the circumstances, thank you very much indeed. You can make your own food from now on, I shan't be helping." (A devastating Shire-ish insult. Might as well have called the King a gobshite.)

Thorin, baffled, "Well Bombur did a good enough job on his own, I'm sure we could make do."

"Oh so that's it, is it?" Bilbo replies, even more outraged. "I really thought you'd come to respect me after all. Well, so be it. At least you've told me in plain terms you don't think I'm of any use now that I got you all to the Mountain. A Hobbit likes to know where he stands, you know. And you would not be standing here if it wasn't for me Mr. Oakensheild."

"You are the most respected member of our Company, Mr. Baggins. And we appreciate very much your heroic efforts which resulted in our being here today. I have no idea what you are insulted over, but given that a dragon may be coming home any minute I suggest we hold this discussion for some other time and place, and let us march on."

"I should have left you in Thranduil's dungeon, that's what I should have done."
