#(i love Bilbo so much)

[anneangel]

I loved that Bilbo, before Frodo even did this, offered to take the One Ring to Mordor, so Boromir is about to laugh like "who is this jokester? I didn't know there was a jester here" and then he stops because They ALL know that Bilbo is serious (although he uses a playful tone). And the Glóin looks like, "Yes. You courageous and audacious Hobbit, you're all I've remember of you."

‘Very well, very well, Master Elrond!’ said Bilbo suddenly. ‘Say no more! It is plain enough what you are pointing at. Bilbo the silly hobbit started this affair, and Bilbo had better finish it, or himself. I was very comfortable here, and getting on with my book. If you want to know, I am just writing an ending for it. I had thought of putting: and he lived happily ever afterwards to the end of his days. It is a good ending, and none the worse for having been used before. Now I shall have to alter that: it does not look like coming true; and anyway there will evidently have to be several more chapters, if I live to write them. It is a frightful nuisance. When ought I to start?’ Boromir looked in surprise at Bilbo, but the laughter died on his lips when he saw that all the others regarded the old hobbit with grave respect. Only Glóin smiled, but his smile came from old memories.

So Gandalf has to stop Bilbo, because he could no longer take the Ring. And to me that sounded more like: no, you're already too much of a protagonist, let other characters have a chance.

Hey, I swear Bilbo Baggins' name is repeated more times in the LotR books than the names of some members of the Fellowship. hahahahah Bilbo is a great protagonist for The Hobbit and a very charismatic supporting character in LotR.

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

glóin looked at frodo and smiled. ‘you were very fond of bilbo were you not?’ he asked. ‘yes,’ answered frodo. ‘I would rather see him than all the towers and places in the world.’

The moment Elrond mentions the gold sickness Thorin's eyes go from looking at Elrond to looking at Bilbo.

So much so that when Bilbo doesn't feel Thorin's eyes on him anymore he turns to check on him.

The casting for the company in The Hobbit is phenomenal

Graham McTavish (Dwalin) hitting the gym as soon as he got the part

Jed Brophy (Nori) trying to steal as much stuff on set as he can and Mark Hadlow (Dori) telling him to put it back

Mark Hadlow (Dori) texting Adam Brown (Ori) “Are you okay?” and mothering him all the time

Aidan Turner (Kili) and Dean O’Gorman (Fili) being the trouble makers on set and teasing all the other dwarves

Stephen Hunter (Bombur) constantly snacking on set

James Nesbit (Bofur) and his Irish humor

Richard Armitage (Thorin) constantly feeling the pressure of his role and responsibilities

Bilbo and the Hero's Journey...

If you love the character Bilbo Baggins, or don't understand why many fans love him, I posted an analysis about him [now edited]. I invite anyone to read it!

Because Bilbo is my beloved!

so over rosh hashanah I reread the entirety of the fellowship of the ring for like the millionth time? idk here are some highlights for anyone who either hasn't read the books in a while or hasn't read them at all:

- it is a LOT funnier than you think

- gandalf is throwing shade constantly

- like seriously, all the time

- legolas and gimli spend way too much time alone together away from the fellowship for unspecified reasons for there to not be something going on

- frodo is a book-smart intelligent adult with an impressive knowledge of middle earth history and can speak multiple languages but has precisely zero (0) street smarts

- tom bombadil is an immortal god who has elected to spend eternity completely ignoring the outside world in favor of doting on his beautiful wife in a secluded part of the forest while encouraging rumors of being terrifying so that nobody interrupts his doting-on-the-wife time. we stan.

- bilbo baggins is SO SALTY. he gives away a wastepaper basket to someone with the note "in memory of a long correspondence." he gives an empty bookcase to someone who never returned the books he borrowed. he gave his silver spoons to the person who kept stealing his cutlery. what an icon.

- gandalf and pippin spend the entire book pissing each other off

- at any given point, the hobbits are definitely thinking about food (same)

“The treasure in this mountain does not belong to the people of Laketown. This gold is… ours.”

I’m pretty sure that Thorin says “ours” by meaning him and his kin but the little voice in my head says he means Bilbo.

Bilbo’s honest reaction to that.

#bagginshield #thorin x bilbo #bilbo baggins #thilbo #ah i know the first photo is slightly pixelated shhh #the little voices are so silly #i love the hobbit because there’s so much lore that tolkien created and yet i focus on the silly little guys which are totally in love #yes i’m susceptible to queerbait and this wasn’t even that

[dejjablu]

had to draw him...the blorbo

#art #the hobbit #the hobbit 2003 #lotr fanart #bilbo baggins #background didnt turn out very good cause just made it in a rush but he turned out pretty cuuute #i love him so much...he could beat the shit out of me if he wanted to-

[xxsircharlesxx]

OMG OMG OKAY I HAVE AN IDEA THING!

So like I’m so deep in denial abt the ending of the hobbit, imagine this:

What if The Hobbit is just a D&D game and the company are just modern (young?) adults doing a campaign which is the Quest of Erebor which is basically what happens in the films.

I may do a fic of this, like it cuts between the campaign and their real life’s and stuff. Although I still have the fix-it fic to do so yeah. But if people want me to do this I’ll do it :)

Me, watching the first hobbit movie with gf: God, they always smoke so much like Jesus Christ, how come everyone hasn’t died from lung cancer at the age of six?

Gf, like immediately: Maybe they have evolved past it

Me: Evolved past it? Like, that was the thing that their evolution prioritized, being able to survive weed?

Gf: Well clearly it’s needed

#She’s a treasure I love her very much #She caught wind of my obsession with these movies and so we watched them together #She loves Bilbo very much and thinks he’s cute #She’s also a big fan of Thorin’s hair #Clearly she has good taste 😌 #the hobbit #incorrect quotes #Technically lol
