Hello! I was wondering if you could please write something about how the Fellowship (+ Thorin?) Would help a s/o who's Disabled and Chronically ill. Like she has a lot of symptoms like chronic pain, chronic fatigue, difficulty sleeping, difficulty breathing at times, difficulty walking at times, higher sensitivity to the cold, difficulty talking at times, and anxiety, depression and executive dysfunction?
I've been really struggling with my chronic illnesses lately, namely my Autism, Anxiety, Sleep Apnea, a really bad Overbite, Raynaud's Syndrome, Asthma, etc, so I'd really appreciate an Imagine like this. I have a really weird disorder where one of my legs is longer than the other, and it's been causing me a lot of pain and difficulty walking lately, and people have been bullying me for it a lot too, so I could really use a Comfort Imagine right now. Thanks so much hun!!
It's no problem! I'm glad I can provide some comfort!! For each character, I'll use a specific struggling area, to make it a bit easier!! I hope I got these accurate enough, and of there are any mistakes, feel free to point them out!! You are strong, beautiful and so, so amazing!! Keep being you!! ❀❀
Help (The Fellowship// Thorin x Fem!Reader)
Aragorn (Autism)
Tumblr media
Aragorn has known you for a long time, so helping with your autism is not new for him
He's particularly experienced in reading your emotions and meeting your needs, whether it's helping you out of stressful situations or calming you down, he's there πŸ₯Ί
If there are large and boisterous gatherings in Rivendell, its almost guaranteed that you can become over-stimulated quickly, and Aragorn immediately senses this (spidey senses Γ΅oΓ΅)
He's fast to find your hand and give it a gentle squeeze of reassurance
If that doesn't seem to help, he'll instantly stop what he's doing and take you out of the room
If you're someone who prefers lots of space and little physical contact, he is 100% respectful of this and asks if you'll let him touch or hug you (very much gentleman 😌)
If ever you're confronted by someone of importance, Aragorn is right by your side to ease some of the tension
Sometimes there are things you find difficult to say or get out of your system
The king seems to know exactly what it is and will help you out by saying it or asking you simple questions that you can easily answer
And he always reminds you, no matter WHAT
YOU ARE NOT STUPID 😀😑
You may struggle with some parts of your life, but every day, he's constantly telling you that you're very intelligent and kind
His patience is unending and he'll never let you think down on yourself
Overall, Aragorn is always someone and reminding you that it's all going to be okay ❀❀
Legolas (Anxiety)
Tumblr media
Most nights, Legolas keeps watch (since elves don't require much sleep) and notices that you jolt awake out of the random
Now, most of the Fellowship notices that you're usually awake and ready to go before anyone else
But Legolas is really the one to address you first
You were a bit nervous to explain, since you didn't want to worry him or the great of the fellowship, amount the other disadvantages you have
He gently encouraged you, and finally, you explained to him your sleep apnea
Yeah, he was very concerned
I mean, his blue eyes widened with terror when you told him that you could basically die in your sleep if you weren't attentive enough πŸ™ƒ
Legolas, from now on, sleeps directly next to you, or keeps extra careful watch over you at night
Because he could NEVER see his precious mortal friend become injured... Or worse πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ίβ€
The other members had noticed a change in his behaviors towards you as well...
Gimli teased him whenever he caught Legolas giving you some extra lembas bread or offered to carry you πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ
You really tried to assure Legolas that it wasn't a big deal when you were awake, since you're aware of your breathing situation
But still 😀
Legolas will always bring you comfort and take great care of you, and that will NEVER CHANGE
Because he loves you very much β€πŸ¦‹
Frodo (Anxiety)
Tumblr media
Frodo is familiar with the feeling of great anxiety, seeing he had a stress-free life while living in the Shire and suddenly was forced to carry a piece of jewelry all the way to giant ass volcano
It's easy for you two to comfort each other and seek refuge in thoughts and feelings ❀
He's not super comfortable with the thought of you having a panic attack though...
Only because he's never had one
It starts to give him a panic attack whenever you have one around him the first time 😳-
Any time you begin to breathe heavy or hyperventilate, halfling boy is hot at your heels, rubbing your back and reminding you to breathe gently
(So many hugs, if you're up for it)
After you calm down, he's constantly checking on you, asking if you need anything etc.
Really, he just wants to know if he can help πŸ₯Ί
And even with the weight and stress of carrying the ring, Frodo manages to cheer you up somehow
Samwise (Asthma)
Tumblr media
Sam has never had to deal with asthma once in his life
He's very nervous when the subject is brought, afraid it might trigger something inside of you πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ
But you just chuckle, assure him that it's alright, and you have ways of keeping it under control
And now, he wants to know everything about it, just to have the awareness in case something happens
Sam just wants to protect you forever, and this was a great way for him to start
He constantly reminds Aragorn that you'll need breathing breaks and will convince Gandalf to let you ride on his horse
He'll scold Pip and Merry if they are trying to drag you around and be silly, because as he says
"You'll rouse him/her/them up! We can't have Y/N gettin injured!" 🀨😠
Sam is MOM
As always, he's very kind and always makes sure your needs are met ❀πŸ₯Ί
Pippin and Merry (Raynaud's Syndrome)
Tumblr media
Very confused halfings πŸ€”
Also extremely concerned!
You were eating one of the lesser pleasurable nights
It was cold and rainy, and a fire couldn't be started, not to mention the quiet arguments of Aragorn and Gandalf in the nearby woods
And Pip's eyes widened when he saw the tips of your petite fingers begin to pale upon hearing Aragorn mention Orcs
"What's wrong with your hands?!" He squeaked, pointing towards your now white-colored fingertips
You hadn't even noticed, nor felt, considering they were numb anyways
Merry looked over his cousin's shoulder and his eyes also widened, not with fright, but wonder
They were both fascinated with your condition, convinced that you were casting some spell Gandalf showed you
Although you reassured them it was just an extremely frustrating inconvenience that you had, among other things
So from then on, the disastrobus duo did their best to keep you out of the cold (and stressful situations!!)
As a distraction, the pair will tell you great stories of the shire, doing little dances and skits that always cheer you up πŸ₯΄
Sometimes, they can be a little rambunctious though...
Merry will pick up on this fact quickly, and nudge Pippin to get him to calm down
Even though it may not feel the best
They find your syndrome absolutely fascinating!! πŸ€”πŸ€”
All in all, these two are always up for keeping your beautiful smile on your face and your spirits high!! ❀🌺
Boromir (Depression)
Tumblr media
Throughout the journey, Boromir has always found an easy way to make you smile
After all, he himself has a fascinating way of brightening anyone's spirits
Yours included ❀
Boromir may not have great stories from The Shire, like Pip and Merry, but he sure has a lot of positive things to say
He'll often suggest sparring with the two troublemaking halflings, just so you can see him goof up and get knocked over πŸ₯Ί
If the nights become cold and weary, he'll give you a warm hug or a nudge on the shoulder
And a few words of helpful encouragement along the lines of;
"Don't fret Y/N. You have more strength than you'll ever know."
"Let our spirits never dampen! We've come this far!" 😊
He's also an incredible listener
Boromir wants to hear what you have to say if you ever need to rant or get something off of your chest
And don't think for a second that he would ever judge you 😀
Son of Gondor sees past all of your insecurities and knows you for your beautiful, amazing self ❀❀
Gimli (Walking disadvantages)
Tumblr media
As you travel across great plains and mountains, your limp doesn't go unnoticed by Gimli
It may take him a while to open up about it, since he's afraid he might offend you in some way
And once he asks you, you inform him that it's a difficulty that unfortunately cannot be changed any time soon
And where you come from, lots of people tease and bully you about it
He did NOT handle it well 😳
"wHAT BLUBBERING DULL-MINDED PIGNUTS-" 🀬
Although this Dwarf is short and a bit slow at times
He's fascinatingly strong 😳
And so, he makes it his duty to be your designated carrier πŸ₯Ί
At first, your a tad skeptical...
I mean, he's only around 4 feet tall...
BUT HAVE YOU SEEN HIM THROW THAT HUGE AX AROUND?!
Gimli will happily carry you great distances when you need a break, and even longer
(Sometimes it's just to show off around the others-)
"Gimli, are you sure you don't want a break?"
"Aye lass! The strength of Dwarves is unending!" 😌
*struggling to breathe*
11/10, fantastic dwarf, will never let you down!!
Thorin (Executive Dysfunction)
Tumblr media
Another Dwarf??
Absolutely
Thorin himself has trouble keeping composure with his time management (and sense of direction πŸ™„)
This means that he'll have an undying amount of patience for you and you only
There's just something about you that he fond of, and it fills in that little sassy, brooding place in his heart
Can also relate to you whenever you grow frustrated at the setback of your journey or lack of sleep
Is 100% willing to help you find your lost belongings (and once again, ONLY YOU)
Thorin will literally make the whole traveling party stop so that you can put something in your bag and make sure that you put it somewhere you'll remember
Always happy to give you extra gentle reminders of keeping your pack closed
The company is utterly SHOCKED with how he treats you
I mean, this man has always been extremely stubborn and hard headed
But when you show up, it's another person he can easily relate and share frustrations with
Also a master at organization?!? πŸ€”
The one thing he could do successfully was organizing the damn journey and traveling company, so ofc he's gonna be good at that πŸ˜‚
Yeah, Thorin definitely has a soft spot for you
King under the mountain will never run out of patience and kindness for you πŸ˜ŒπŸ’™
Sorry these took so long!! I hope you like them!! ❀❀

World Autism Awareness Day - My Story
Autism. A word that is quiet often used as an insult to others, with special interest. This happend alot, exspecially in the internet. The problem is that people don't understand how dificult it can be when you are different. It started when I was around 11 or 12 years old. I started to get bullied, because I was different and acted weird. That was also the year i started to draw and get a hyperfixation over games and tv shows. I didn't know why i was acting strange or what I did wrong. They just hated me. This heavy bullying continued over the years. My parents didn't know why I was so weird. I couldn't understand how I should work. So my father send me to a kids hospital for behavior problems. I rather called it an asylum. They monitored us 24/7. There was even cameras in the bedrooms. We had no way to get out to at least get some fresh air. There was a high lockdown door in the place. The "treatment" didn't helped me jack shit! But one thing they figured out. One important thing that changed my life. I have autism. My world shaddered beneath me. I was crying in my room for a long time. Now I understood what's wrong with me! But my parents refused to believe the doctor. They refused that I need help! They did nothing! Later on we moved to a new place. A new start. A place I can find friends and won't be bullied! Or so I thought... I was still drawing and was already on Deviantart for two or three years. Everything was fine till somebody made me angry enough to have a meltdown. The school was so worried that they send paramedics to pic me up and look after me. What I didn't know was they brought me to a place that was close to be like the last phsycho place I've been in. A organisation that helps with many illneses. I was so scared, because they throw me into a pit with suicidal patients and people that have seen ghosts! The first person cut her wrists in front of me. I was crying as my parents came, begging them to get me home. I figured out quickly that they want me to stay since they packed my bags. So I was staying many months in that place, where they deal drugs and sexual harras and abuse each other! I was lucky enough that I get my own room, since I was autistic. This place mostly fucked me up more. My depression started to show more. They also aproved that I was autistic. My parents play it off as if I had nothing. "Its just a little bit." "You are not even on the spectrum!" BUT THEY BLAME ME THAT I GOT BULLIED! BLAME ME THAT I GOT DEPRESSION AND WHY I HAVE THESE HYPERFIXATIONS! MY FATHER CALLS ME DUMB, BECAUSE I COULDN'T TALK PROPERLY! OR THAT I GET ANXIOUS! They want me to hide who I am to "protect me"! Want to take my things away that I love to "protect me"! You know that I had to teach myself how to feel. I don't quiet understand how feelings work so I needed to watch peoples reaction and learn from them. Trying to copy as much as I can. I still have problems that I need to face with my illness but... All the games and shows that I love so dearly helped me through alot of bullshit. My parents say they "cause my depression and illness" but thats not true! They made me so happy and loved. And deviantart/tumblr... this side is supportive and understanding in some points. Of course there are some people who try to bully you! But I was so happy to have you guys! I'm trying to do my best nowdays. I have a loving girlfriend for nearly 2 years and she understands me for who I am. I love her so much. So please, If you see a person with autim, or any other illness, Don't judge them. You don't know what they have been through! Autism might be a challange, but with help of others, its a whole new experience! There are alot of other autistic people that are so horribly mistreated and missunderstood in this world! Here are two videos about an organisation that suppose to be for autism but is more harmfull than anything! https://youtu.be/5Va_XXoD5LE https://youtu.be/oXcegduzhdE Autistic people have it already hard enough. So please, support them and make them feel loved and supported! This is really important, so share it!
