Hello, I love your art so much and I can't believe it took me 5 DAYS to notice you'd posted that lovely modern!Ori piece.

I noticed Fili signed Ori's shoe 🤭 how do you think they met? I'd assume they'd have different majors but go to the same uni?

Hello!! Thank you so so much!! What a lovely message to wake up to! 🥺

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I haven’t worked out a good storyline for a Fili/Ori college AU yet… though I’d imagine that they knew each other from high school/were childhood friends!

Though… this drawing and design was inspired by a fic that was written by a good friend of mine, and if you’d like I would gladly pass along the link! (Just DM me if you’re interested!)

Modern/College AU ori that I drew like a week ago 😅 totally forgot to post this here…

This is extremely self-indulgent so don’t mind all the tiny details that come from a multitude of headcanons

(or do… and come yell at me about Fili/Ori tehe)

I don’t spend a ton of time thinking about Gimli and Legolas, but I saw some lovely Gigolas art earlier this week that got me into that line of thought and I must say that the extreme parallelism here really is very satisfying:

Gimli to Legolas (Two Towers, The White Rider):

“You are a Wood-elf, anyway, though elves of any kind are strange folk. Yet you comfort me. Where you go, I will go.”

Legolas to Gimli (Two Towers, Helm’s Deep):

“You are a dwarf, and dwarves are strange folk. I do not like this place, and I shall like it no more by the light of day. But you comfort me, Gimli, and I am glad to have you standing nigh.”

It’s also pretty charming that the formula for light flirting in Middle Earth appears to be, “Hey, you’re a real weirdo, but I feel better when you’re around.”

Just realized I never posted my Bilbo and Thorin stickers on here 😅 whoopsies

Anyway, I made these stickers about a month ago and still have a couple left if anyone is interested!

They’re listed in my ⬇️ Kofi shop ⬇️

Tempted to buy a thorin figure simply so I can do stuff like this with him tehe 🤭

[moon-glisten]

This is so important to me.

thinking of goldsick thorin, not wanting to part with a single coin, searching through the treasury for the best thing to gift bilbo. finding the mithril shirt (the most valuable item in the mountain if you don't count the arkenstone) and in the middle of his madness thinking "we're going to war tomorrow bilbo needs this"... INSANE

OHOHOHO okay listen this post means so much to me

Thinking about if we got more Bagginshield hugs than just the one.. apparently I haven’t thought of Bagginshield hugs enough but now I AM and y’all the POSSIBILITIES.. thinking about cute excited Bagginshield hugs where Bilbo has to get up on his tippy toes and fling his arms up super high to reach around Thorin’s shoulders and Thorin picks him up like nothing in his strong arms and Bilbo just dangles there with his feet dangling and giggling like mad… or he just instantly wraps his legs around Thorin’s torso and clings to him like a koala.. SO many thoughts this evening!!

You guys know that meme that’s like:

Éomer: Aragorn I dare you to kiss the prettiest person in the room

Aragorn: éowyn ?

Éowyn: yes?? 🥺

Aragorn: move so I can get to Legolas

Well, I drew this with this in mind ⬇️

Legolas, who got the same dare, already making out with Gimli:

(also this is a birthday gift for a dear friend of mine bc he wanted more gigolas art tehe)

Bad thing: *happens*

Me: Well, I guess it’s time to find a 100k fanfiction and keep reading till I lose all sense of reality and forget about all my problems and instead focus on the More Important Problems of imaginary people.

#yeah this sounds about right #why do I decide to read fanfiction at the worst times lol #oh I need to be up at 6am tomorrow? #let’s start a 300k fanfic at 11pm

Desperately wishing I could reply to every single reblog! You guys are the absolute sweetest 🥹

I’m not used to people leaving the nicest compliments in the tags? And why won’t tumblr let me respond directly to tags 😭

Just know that I’ve seen all the nice things you’ve all been saying and I want to say a big thank you!!

Kind words and affirmations is what pushes me (and many other creators!) to keep creating and sharing my work with you all!

So thank you all for your kindness!! :)) I can’t wait to continue sharing my silly drawings with you! 🥰

Frodo got a new outfit, so he’s showing off to his favorite cousins :)))

I had a lot of fun with this one! Now it’s time to draw some bagginshield >:))

I had this thought awhile back but Thorin is not popular amongst the dwarves (he only got 13 of them to follow him), and Bilbo is not popular amongst hobbits (the loner bachelor of Bag End). So I really need Bilbo in Erebor/Reshirement fics where they thrive in each other’s societies.

Bilbo was born to be Consort under then mountain, and everyone loves him! The Council appreciates his polite but firm negotiation tactics and this hobbit has a good head for business. And the people love how friendly and personable he is every time he comes to market. They don’t see many royals who remember their mother’s favorite caserole recipe after all. And by extension, Thorin gains popularity because he can’t be all bad if he managed to land such a little charmer.

Likewise, I need hobbit wives tripping over themselves to get to the forge to see the tall, silent, stunningly beautiful new blacksmith and did you hear he used to be royal? How did Bilbo Baggins land that hot piece of ass? And of course Bilbo has made him so nervous over all the different rules in hobbit society that most of the time Thorin merely nods and smiles at him, and isn’t that cute? He’s shy. So they naturally take him under their wing, inviting him to afternoon teas to fatten him up, and Thorin thinks all Shire food is amazing so he’s quick to offer up his compliments on their cooking which nearly sends them swooning. And of course the male hobbits want to be jealous, but Thorin is fair in price and his work is immaculate and he wears Bilbo’s flowers proudly so he’s certainly not straying from Master Baggins, he’s just very charming and they can’t begrudge him that.

Like Bilbo and Thorin should make each other better. And certainly it doesn’t have to be “everyone loves them and there’s never any problems”, but I just feel like it should be a deal of “FINALLY! I’ve been a duck out of water for so long and this is clearly where I belong.”
