#bagginshield tropes

[tending-the-hearth]

i think my favorite type of relationship trope is "stopped believing in love a long time ago" and "genuinely doesn't think they're worthy of love" falling for each other in the MOST romantic way possible

#the angst that comes from this trope is fantastic and delicious #huskerdust #rebelcaptain #bagginshield #demelurina #solangelo #tuggoffelees #< cats mutuals please tell me i'm not the only one who sees them in this trope #hazbin hotel #rogue one #the hobbit #cats the musical #percy jackson and the olympians #husker hazbin hotel #angel dust #jyn erso #cassian andor #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #demeter #bombalurina #will solace #nico di angelo #rum tum tugger #mr mistoffelees #fanfic tropes

[logicallyblind]

my absolute favourite favourite favourite trope in fanfic is when thorin is outwardly a grouchy, ill tempered scowling dwarf whom bilbo just silently watches from afar lamenting the fact that someone like That would never give someone like Him the time of day-

and then the perspective shifts to thorin and we get to just listen to this smitten fool plan out their wedding in extreme detail all while waxing poetry about the sunlight shining through bilbo’s curls in his mind i just,,

#I EAT THAT SHIT UP EVERY TIME #THORIN CALLING BILBO PET NAMES IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS OWN MIND??? HELL YES #THORIN ACCIDENTALLY SLIPPING UP AND SPEAKING ONE OF THEM ALOUD EITHER IN TIMES OF DURESS OR WHEN BILBO JUST LOOKED TOO PRETTY??? HAND IT OVE #I WOULD DIE FOR IT #idk what that trope is even called #but i love it dearly #the hobbit #lotr #thorin oakenshield #bagginshield #bilbo baggins #lord of the rings #thilbo #fanfic tropes

i don’t know what it is about bagginshield that makes it so appealing. all the fanfics are so good. the fanart is amazing. i think about them at least once a day.

WHAT IS IT……… why do they have such a grip on me………… what makes them so different from other pairings………

#bagginshield #i think about them everyday idk what’s wrong with me #maybe it‘s the mutual pining #i gotta be honest compared to other ships bagginshield fics are so elite #they‘ll have everything….. the plot… the pining… the insanely good writing….. the found family trope…. #the hobbit #rambles #thilbo #thorin x bilbo #thorin oakenshield #bilbo baggins

I want to know people's favorite wholesome bagginshield trope.

I'm a real sucker for the, Thorin can't get enough of Bilbo's cooking trope.

Food is my favorite love language 🥘

[morningnoodles]

the thing about senior bagginshield is that the implications make my heart soar. because whenever i see a senior bilbo all alone, my immediate assumption is angst. it makes me think of bilbo aging and living his Shire lifestyle but with that unseen unspoken void. i think of it being at the time during the fellowship of the ring or several years before and that! breaks! my heart! so when i see senior bagginshield it's like the creator is patting me gently on the arm saying, "it's alright, they both lived long happy lives. it's alright, they were together until the end."

#this and parentshield are my favorite tropes at the moment #bagginshield #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield #the hobbit #keet rambles

[the-sewerrats]

Yeah yeah hot and confident Thorin is great, big fan BUT ALSO

Thorin just being an absolute loser, no confidence, pathetic guy who’s spent his whole life moping and then suddenly he finds the love of his life. And Bilbo seems like a loser with all his fancy handkerchiefs and letter opener sword, but he’s actually so witty and has a charisma of like +4 who can say goodbye as an insult and somehow gets a dragon to talk to him cuz he’s polite.

I just think they’re so perfect for each other and I love this dynamic.

#let Thorin be the absolute loser that he is #the first time he told Bilbo he cared about him Bilbo thought he was being scolded #pathetic guy x charming idiot is such a good trope #shit I think that’s another thing that applies to gentlebeard #bagginshield #the hobbit #thorin x bilbo #bilbo baggins #thorin oakenshield

It’s hilarious that Thorin’s gold madness is such a perfect rom-com, third act, last ditch barrier to keep the couple apart long enough to bring the romantic tension to a simmering peak before the first kiss. Like they get to Erebor, and Thorin and Bilbo have absolutely, 100% fallen madly in love. What to do? other than have a big wedding, then get down to some dwarf on hobbit action. 

Only, that’s not how rom-coms work. You can’t hook the couple up before the climax of the film. You have to draw it out. Especially in a show or series with a shipped couple at it’s center. They can’t get together in the middle of season 2, if you want to keep the romantic tension going, so you introduce a rival, or a business trip to get the lovers to separate. Misunderstandings, ex partners coming back into the picture, all sorts of silly stuff gets tossed at the couple to keep them apart. 

Gold madness is the perfect romance device. It introduces angst and uncertainty, and gives Thorin a reason to gaze up into Bilbo’s eyes and beg for his forgiveness. It even allows for one of those ‘almost kiss’ moments that gets interrupted (thanks Dwalin). If those two had been standing literally 1 foot closer to each other, there would be no difference between the acorn scene and your average, rom-com, ‘interrupted kiss’ trope. 

Except instead of them kissing, Thorin dies. But whatever. You get my point. Those films were a long-ass slow burn rom com.

Okay I tried this one more time and got “Teacher AU” and “Awful First Meeting” 🤣🤣

Alright, I'm going to preface this with, I will probably not write a teacher au 🤣 and that's mostly because I don't feel too confident in my knowledge of the field/art of teaching, BUT IF I DID....with this particular trope mash up...

This is how I'd write it: Thorin is the new teacher at the school, Bilbo is established, has a reputation, leads some of the best clubs for his students. He has his hands in so much and takes pride in that. Then the new guy tries to worm in on that because he has Ideas™️. To which Bilbo finds rude and disruptive -- without having even met the new teacher, "Mr. Durin" yet. So, when he finally does, he's stomping to Thorin's classroom with purpose, he's ready to tell the noob to either back off or square up, and is met promptly with someone who is 1) unfairly attractive, 2), surprisingly clever, and 3) unwilling to just bend, even if he's the new guy. It's another rom-com style prompt, I'm telling you lol

'Tis I! The mysterious bagginshield cryptid, visiting to ask you a question! . . . What is your favourite bagginshield "guilty pleasure" trope?

Soulmates, heartsongs, ones, soul bonds!

And keeping it quiet because “you might scare him away!”

Especially if he’s been hurt before! Oh gosh!!!! Whyyyyy does it hurt so good!

There's just something so satisfying about a battle worn, grumpy, mean, stubborn man falling in love that makes me trip over myself.

Okay Robyn I have spun for you…Hair Brushing/Braiding and Huddling for Warmth. So do with that what you will 😂

Oh, this was the perfect one to get me started XD Thank you, Sunny!

~*~*~*~*

Bilbo huddled in his jacket, trying to force himself to stop shivering. The rocking of Bard’s barge helped with that somewhat, as it was difficult for him to shiver when he was concentrating on remaining upright, but still. He was sitting at the front of the barge, next to empty barrels - some of which they had ridden in- and they provided absolutely no warmth. He was finding it difficult to not curse himself for his escape plan, even if it <i>had</i> worked. 

“Master Baggins,” Thorin’s deep, lovely voice washed over him and he cursed his escape plan again. His feelings for Thorin were bothersome at the best of times, and he didn’t relish looking like a drowned rat in front of Thorin, who always appeared perfect, even if dirty. “Come here, please.” 

“Haven’t I told you to call me Bilbo?” he grumbled in response as he got up and went to the space Thorin indicated at his side. Any smart comments disappeared immediately as Thorin wrapped his arm around him as soon as he sat down, and he was pulled against Thorin’s side. 

“You have,” Thorin replied quietly. “Habits break hard, and I am too concerned about you falling ill. I only wish we had a change of clothes, but the Man has promised us those when we get to his home.” 

Bilbo blinked and tried to push down the butterflies that were in his belly. Thorin was just keeping him warm to preserve the quest. The plan for the Arkenstone would need to change if his burglar died from a cold; it wasn’t because Thorin wanted to be close to him. Bilbo let himself get comfortable, though. He wasn’t going to complain, even if it wasn’t as romantic as he would like. Thorin was holding him, and he was warm and lovely, and his fingers were playing with Bilbo’s hair-

“I thought-” Bilbo let out a small cough to gather his wits. Thorin’s fingers in his curls were quite distracting. “I thought hair was important to you all? Balin said that there were all sorts of protocols and rules… One of them being that only kin and lovers can touch a dwarf’s hair?”

Thorin let out a soft hum and continued to gently touch Bilbo’s hair. “I was just thinking there should be a braid here.” Now, Bilbo didn’t know everything about braids - he had only had one conversation with Balin - but he was sure that there was some significance to that spot behind his right ear. “You see, Bilbo… You have the rules about hair correct, but I believe that it should also apply to potential lovers, as well.” 

Bilbo’s eyes snapped to Thorin’s face. His speech had sounded smooth, nonchalant, but Thorin’s cheeks were red underneath his beard. “If you would have me,” Thorin added, his voice soft and hesitant. 

Bilbo’s heart was pounding in his chest. He didn’t feel like he could actually speak, but he was already nodding his head vigorously with a large smile. 

He heard Thorin let out a shaky sigh of relief as he quickly and deftly put a short braid behind Bilbo’s ear. He explained what the braid looked like and how it signified courting, and he tied it off with a bead from his pocket. It didn’t take long, of course; Bilbo’s hair was short compared to the dwarrow. As soon as it was finished, Bilbo felt Thorin’s lips against his temple. 

Well! Bilbo turned his head quickly and captured Thorin’s lips with his own. It was a short kiss, mainly due to the rest of the Company letting out a loud and relieved cheer. Bilbo pulled away reluctantly. “There will be more later, I promise.” 

“I will be holding you to that, Burglar,” Thorin replied as he pulled him close once more. The only difference was the comforting weight behind Bilbo’s ear, and the way Thorin pressed his face against Bilbo’s neck, as though he couldn’t bear to have more space between them.

Ao3 here

Send me a combination to play with! Can be other ships besides Bagginshield, but that is my wheelhouse.

[wisterioak]

for the record (aka I can't stop making kid OCs), this is a close imagining of the bagginshield cabbage-patch daughters for my hobbit longfic wip (I made them months ago but have been stalled on the fic project for a while now)

can you guess who takes after which father? (easy mode)

Ayla (left) was born from the oak acorn that Bilbo has in the movie and Kelda (right) was born from a beech seed from Mirkwood gifted by Tauriel to Bilbo (due to fic plot reasons)

#skye talks #skye writes #bagginshield #I love the cabbage patch trope it's so fantastic

[andthebeanstalk]

I love how every Thorin/Bilbo fan fiction basically requires everyone involved to be absolute dumbasses regarding Dwarven custom and Bilbo's awareness of Dwarven custom.

If Thorin hasn't publicly proposed 6 times and been rejected each time without Bilbo knowing why Thorin reacts so emotionally to him turning down big chests of gold then is it even a Hobbit fan fiction???

#original #the hobbit #Bagginshield #a passion for mushrooms #is the fic i am reading now. it is such a frustrating trope in most other media but for some reason if it is bilbo and Thorin then #yes please draw out this conflict and give me 10000 little awkward moments of desire from Thorin that Bilbo wildly misinterprets #this fic is lovely so far
