me when i think about how thorin was the most affectionate towards bilbo when he was under the goldsickness. the greed disease made him greedy and it was the only time he let himself not only want him but actively show his love when before? thorin would never. because he knew bilbo had a life to go back to, because he knew that most wouldn’t be supportive/understanding of their relationship, because he knew he couldn’t keep him
but thorin was being greedy.

Finally done 🎉 I‘m really happy I made it :)
This last one is actually a fanart to @fuxdeiflswued fantastic fanfiction ‚Never cruel or cowardly‘ :)! I‘m really grateful to them that they let me use it for inspiration. Let’s be honest who isn’t a sucker for Yaz with a sword?

The fact that The Hobbit is such a lighthearted family-friendly book, especially when compared to LOTR, actually breaks my heart when you consider that it is Bilbo’s writing. That journey was anything but a fun trip for him. He went through real dangers and horrifying moments. He saw violence for the first time. At the end of it, he lost his love. And he went home traumatized, heartbroken, and forever changed.
Yet when he wrote the story down, he emphasized the more successful and fun parts, and glossed over the depth of his pain and grief when the losses happened (even leaving Fíli and Kíli’s deaths to a throwaway line.)
Because what else could he have done? Nobody else could possibly understand his pain. Bilbo wasn’t like Frodo. He didn’t have a Sam who he shared the experience with and could talk to about it every day afterward, to help him work through writing down the details of the darker parts of the story. And his other friends lived far away and could only visit occasionally.
And the hobbit children were all full of wonder about Elves and dwarves and trolls, so he put the focus on that.
I feel like that was his way of dealing with his trauma.

I never read the hobbit, but I HAVE read lotr and the silmarillion, but I just learned that the battle of the five armies, that part they made a WHOLE movie out of, is only 1 page in the book because bilbo gets hit by a rock and wakes up when it’s over. 10/10 no notes, that should have been the movie too
I told my mom I didn’t like sourdough bread and she got so offended she turned into a moose and I had to make de-moosing spray with a Minecraft brewing stand but I screwed it up and she ended up as a Samurott instead.
