headcanon, where tilda gets lost in the commotion and bard is panicking, trying to find her after the battle of the five armies ends. and all the while not letting go of sigrid and bain, their cold hands in the firm hold of his dirty ones, because he just can't lose them too. he's asking around, searches all the building that can be possible places for a hideout but she's nowhere to be found. his heart is like a lump in his throat, blocks the air from getting into his heaving lungs before dropping in terrifying defeat. he can't find her.

bard?

familiar voice comes from behind him and he spins around, pulling sigrid and bain behind him on reflex before realizing — here stood the elvenking, his figure tall and mighty even without his armor, and tilda, his youngest daughter, rested in his arms.

i think you've lost a princess, thranduil says and tilda follows it with da! exclaimed excitedly. bard feels tears prickling in his eyes the moment her voice reaches his ears.

he runs to them forgetting all the formalities that come with interacting with the elvenking, and grabs tilda off his arms.

thank you, whispers bard, crying into his daughter's hair. thank you, he repeats to thranduil as he looks up.

he imagined himself being a mess, beaten up and tired and emotionally shaken, but. the humane pain that pierced those ice blue eyes the moment bard caught the look of them, struck him. it felt familiar. no king would allow himself to break down like this, not when he has the remnants of his people to gather and care for and heal.

but a father would.

thranduil nods and steps away to leave.

take care, bard the dragonslayer. don't lose 'em again.

#sorta barduil #more like two dads going through a moment concerning their children #legolas left #and yet thranduil had an opportunity to bring tilda back to her father #he did it himself #because no father should lose their child #especially the one so caring and loving as bard #thranduil is basically holding back his own tears yes #thranduil oropherion #bard the bowman #bardlings #sigrid #bain #tilda #the hobbit #the hobbit botfa #the hobbit headcanons

All the options are based from my prior 2 polls asking who people wanted Faramir’s Dad and Mom to be.

I came upon some confusion with myself at first do to my removal of all the one’s that didnt get any votes at all from the list- and so ended up with 7 mom candidates and 10 dads.

It was late enough that when i made the decision that i should take the three lowest voted dad’s and put them with the highest voted dads to even out the equation i forgot to put into consideration that that meant i’d taken six Dads out of the way. And thus decided i should line up the bottom four of each list to fix it. I realized ‘math dosent work for tired brains’ and smushed the remaining 3 together and called it a night. As a Bonus: Merry, Pippin, Fili and Kili get spots on the list. To understand what each of these pairs mean- here are some of the pros of co-parenting.

Elrond and Dain: many children (mayhem and otherwise)

Gandalf and Bolg: totally terribly absurd and polar opposite methods of raising children.

Aragorn and Smaug: compromise is not easy

Bard and Shelob: she has kids, he has kids, they’re equally horrified

Bilbo and Arwen: casual aunt and uncle vibes all the way

Beorn and Dori: mothering is a term not used lightly between them

Sméagol and the Bardlings: they’re all children your honor

Dis and Thranduil and Lobelia: Strong willed, sassy, intense group of differing backgrounds and cultures all set on raising a baby human.

Bonus:

Kili and Fili & Merry and Pippin: they handle things like an Ent on fire.

As a note this is for General co-parenting without romance between a bunch of ill adjusted peoples over a very human child with an overprotective brother.

The winning group will be written and posted of here, anything from snippets, dialogue, world traits to poetic prose. If it comes to be it will be viewable here- so choose wisely for Faramir’s new family depends on it.

Headcanon that Elves generally keep to themselves not through the aloofness brought about because of their immortality but because they are fucking helpless when it comes to mortal children.

Any mortal children. Man, Hobbit, Dwarf, any kid. Elflings are beloved for a reason but Elflings are still Elves at heart and do not possess the frankly worrying amounts of curiosity and determination that mortal children have and which gives them a certain aura of adorable that the Eldar cannot resist.

I know Elrond took Aragorn in because they took his mother in but I cannot help but think he also saw a tiny human and it clicked in his (admittedly half-Elven but it still counts) brain that this is an adorable baby and he needs doting on.

#lotr #lotr headcanons #elves #look maybe this came about because I'm reading a really good fic on Ao3 #where Thranduil is his usual bitchy self until the Bardlings set their sights on him #and he's done for #I just like the idea of these immortal idiots going so utterly soft for little babies and adorable kids #like Elrond is doomed in Rings of Power once he properly meets Gerda and Gamli #smol dwarvish kids will steal his heart away #the fic is called My Heart is an Empty Vessel if you're interested #by likethenight #its really fucking good #though its so fluffy my internal angst writer is waiting for the other shoe to drop #it does not trust the domesticity #or Thranduil being happy and spoiling Tilda with presents #Tilda just making friends with the whole Woodland Realm as well #they were helpless against the adorableness #Elves react to mortal kids like we do with particularly adorable puppies #lots of handflapping #and noises that are MOST DEFINITELY NOT highly undignified squeeing

Letters From Watson Liveblog - Dec. 27

The Lion's Mane, Part 2 of 2

It's funny that Murdoch gets fired now, for simply not answering his boss' question outside of work, but when he defenestrated a dog? No that was fine, who even cares about that.

Tom Bellamy is a nothing character, but from this line and one before about him "starting from nothing," you can tell he's a real hypocrite for not wanting his daughter to marry someone "outside her own station" when he himself was evidently quite poor at one point.

What does this mean for Holmes? Does he mean conversations with his housekeeper altogether? Or just ones about local gossip? If it's the latter then it makes sense he wouldn't care, but if it's the former then it's just rude.

Poor dog. First it gets defenestrated, then its master befriends its defenestrator, and now it seemingly died an extremely painful death. What an unfortunate life for this dog that doesn't even get a name.

The reveal that the murderer all along was a jellyfish is really funny to me. I love that Holmes, after having fought and captured so many murderers, has to solve a case where the killer is just a non-local animal. It's a shame they decided to kill it.

Ah Holmes, humble as ever.

Not exactly a mystery the reader could readily solve, but still a fun story with some insight into Holmes' retirement.

Part 1 - Part 2

There's An Unusual Guest In Our House

Elvenking Thranduil & the Bardlings (Tolkien Universe)

TRSB slide #51

Finally posting one of my TRSB (@tolkienrsb) pieces!

The short explanation for this piece is that I REALLY wanted a more fae, otherworldly, not natural, interpretation of the elves, specifically Thranduil in this case, interacting with bards children. I really am always craving that cultural differences between people 😂 And here it is 😌

I am SO happy with how this came out looking, I was SO worried about how it was going to look, I had very specific expectations about the look I wanted this to have. And I'm really happy overall.

Obligatory thanks to everyone who bared with me and my complaining through the process XD but specially to @i-did-not-mean-to for getting me the lovely watercolor pencils I created this with 😭 🥰 I am forever grateful. Extra thanks to @arlenianchronicles for helping me with a few last minute changes to the piece which I didn't have time to do myself (and for indulging me every time I needed an opinion🤭). You are the real mvp frien.

This piece was claimed by @scary-grace who was my last years TRSB writer and I'm just over the moon about that hvdshoasv. I've already gotten a few morsels of their writing and I'm MAD with want for more djaxhckdhszlhovbal. Thank you for choosing my art 🥺

Looks like a cinnamon roll, can kill you: Tilda

Looks like can kill you, is a cinnamon roll: Legolas

Looks like a cinnamon roll, is a cinnamon roll: Bain

Looks like can kill you, will fucking kill you: Sigrid

#Tilda is tiny with shining eyes and a constant grin but will not hesitate to fucking cut a bitch #Legolas looks other worldly and is an elf which means he had years of combat experience but he’s also a dork who loves chameleons #Bain is always smiling and is carrying around a cat everywhere he goes and he will sit down with you and listen to your problems if needed #Sigrid has the heaviest bags under her eyes and is glaring at everyone and has zero patience for bullshit #lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #The bardlings #legolas greenleaf #tilda dragondaughter #tilda of dale #bain dragonson #bain of dale #Sigrid dragondaughter #sigrid of dale

The hobbit x teen Neko heterochromic reader part 12.

The battle is now happening.

Translation:

Galu-good luck

Hanar-big brother

Iel Nin- my daughter

Flashback:

You and the company set up camp for the day after traveling the whole day and beating a small pack of orcs.

It has been a month since you became a member of the company and you grew very fond of Gandalf, Bilbo and the Dwarves during the past month.

You are sitting besides Bofur while helping him serve stew to the other members of the company (and making sure Bombur doesn’t sneak seconds for himself) while Balin gives you a history lesson on the Durin bloodline “In conclusion lass. Gold sickness is a very dangerous disease that leads the king under the mountain to greed.” The elderly dwarf said as your eyes widen from this fact about the Durin’s “Is there a cure for it?” You asked in hope “It’s unknown if there is lass but that’s a lesson for another time. You got a terrible bite from that warg that needs to be stitched.” Oin said pointing to the bite mark that went from your abdomen to your lower back “Better patch that up before it gets infected.” Dori said as you lifted up your shirt revealing one of your tattoos making everyone gasp “Lass that’s a fine tattoo.” Gloin said as Oin disinfected the bite and then started wrapping it in bandages “My sister let me get it for my birthday last month before the Orcs attacked our village, I have three more.” You said removing your cloak to reveal your butterfly flock tattoo, you lowered your left fingerless glove to reveal your crescent moon tattoo, then lifted up your slowly shredding leggings to show your tree tattoo on your ankle.

The dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf are all in awe by the tattoos “Our youngest member has quite the collection.” Fili said making everyone including you laugh.

End of Flashback:

You couldn’t help but smile fondly of the memory but you looked up at Thorin and heard Thranduil speaking “We’ve come to tell you. Payment of your debt has been offered and excepted.” Thranduil said calmly “What payment? I gave you nothing! You have nothing.” Thorin said still holding his loaded bow making you gulp from last night ‘there will be war I know it.’ You think to yourself ‘Patience little one!’ You heard Thranduil say in your head as he glances down at you but he turns his head to Bard giving him the cue to take out the Arkenston from his coat.

You gulped again as Bard took out the now Milky white stone from his coat ‘Bilbo I hope you’re right.’ You think fearfully as Bard spoke while holding the now purified Arkenston and tossing it in the air “The stone is here in the mountain. Do not be fooled.” Thorin yelled until Bilbo came onto the balcony and began trying to reason with Thorin but the dwarf was not having any of it and began accusing Bilbo of robbing him.

Scared for Bilbo’s life you jumped off the elk and ran for the palace much to Thranduil’s and Bard’s horror “Y/N COME BACK.” Thranduil yelled about to jump off the elk but Gandalf stopped him “No, let her go! Maybe she can talk some sense into Thorin.” The old wizard said while Thranduil and Bard looked at your figure going into the mountain through a shattered window with concern “Please be careful child.” Bard said in fear while Thranduil nodded.

You managed to crawl your way into Erebor through a broken window and found three familiar elderly dwarves “Balin! Dori! Oin!” You said running up to them as their eyes widened in shock and relief “Y/N! It’s wonderful to see you again lass.” Balin said happily as he, Dori and Oin hugged you “We see the elf king has been treating you well.” Dori said looking you up and down “You’ve gotten a bit Taller since last we saw you lass.” Oin said looking up at you “It’s great to see you again, but I need to get to Thorin.” You said making them gloom “He is not himself lass.” Oin said “Aye! Ever since Smaug’s defeat the sickness had taken over him.” Balin said “Maybe seeing you will knock some sense into him.” Oin said as they lead you to where Thorin and the rest of the company are.

After running through twists and turns in the halls you’re finally at the balcony but Dwalin was guarding it “Dwalin!” You said running up to the warrior dwarf “Y/N! It’s wonderful to see you again Lass.” He said hugging you “There he is! Be carful lass, Mahal knows what he’s capable of in this state.” Dori said as Dwalin lets you go “I will.” You said until you heard Thorin’s cold voice shout “Never again will I have dealings with wizards or Shire rats.” He said in anger and that’s when terror struck you when he started demanding the other members of the company to throw Bilbo over the ramp but none of them obeyed making him angry “I’ll do it myself.” He said angrily grabbing Bilbo until you stepped out “DON’T DO IT THORIN.” You yelled out terror in your purple and red heterochromic eyes making everyone turn to you “Y/N? Thank Mahal she’s alive.” Kili said when Thorin spoke “Y/N! Why didn’t you come with us to lake town?” He asked looking you up and down for injuries when his eyes landed on the spot of your choker where the shard of the Arkenston use to be making him angry and slap you in the face causing you to fall and cut the left side of your face in the stone making everyone freeze and Thranduil felt anger boiling within him “You gave it to them. You traitor, I SHOULD HAVE LEFT YOU IN THE WILDERNESS.” He said about to strike you again but Fili got in front of you taking the blow instead while Kili, Bilbo and Bofur helped you up while Oin ran to treat your scar “Out of the way Fili.” Thorin said in anger “No Uncle.” Fili said until Gandalf spoke “If you are not pleased with my burglar or the neko then return them to me and Thranduil unharmed.” He said just after Oin put a plaster over your scar he winched from the hand mark on your face and the black eye you got from landing ‘He gave her quite the shiner.’ He thinks allowing you and Bilbo to climb down the rope but before you started climbing you gave Thorin a cold look and said “You’ve changed Thorin! You’re not the same Dwarf I meet in the wilderness months ago.” You said climbing down with Bilbo until Bard spoke “Will you have peace or will you have war?” He asked and you can hear Thorin loud and clear “I WILL HAVE WAR.” He yelled out just as you and Bilbo climbed down and ran to your respected guardians.

The moment you were helped onto the elk Thranduil immediately looked over your scar and black eye “He will pay for this.” Thranduil growled rubbing his thumb over your scar until a horn bellowed making you look up to see an army of dwarves with one of them riding on a boar “Good morning. How are we all?!” He asked looking at everyone “I have a wee proposition, if you don't mind giving me a few moments of your time.” He continued giving you a bad feeling “Would you consider...JUST SODDING OFF! All ye, right now!” He shouted making you clutch to Thranduil’s breastplate as he wrapped an arm around you protectively “Stand fast!” Bard shouted out “Come now’ Lord Dain.” Gandalf said clearly trying to negotiate but you can tell this was not going to work.

As Gandalf tries to keep the peace you whispered to Thranduil and Bard “He’s insane.” You said fearfully “She’s right.” Bard whispered back making Thranduil smirk “He’s clearly mad like his cousin.” Thranduil said making you face palm ‘Seriously Dad? Not the best time with a possible war happening.’ You think to yourself in terror “Y/N head to the town with my children, You’ll be safe there incase things get ugly.” Bard said “Go iel nin.” Thranduil said allowing you down from the elk “Be safe little one.” The elk said “I will.” You said running off to the ruined town of Dale.

As your running through the town your unaware of two orcs that were able to sneak in one holding the hilt of his blade and another with rope and a gag, the one with the rope pounced on you and tried tying you up but they were both shoot by arrows “Y/N, what are you doing here?” Looking up you saw a familiar blond elf “Legolas!” You said giving him a hug glad to see him alive “Does father know you’re here? And what happened to your face?” He asked hugging back “Yes, I came here with Dad, he and Bard are trying to negotiate with Thorin.” You said “Y/N, are you alright.” Tilda asked running to you with Bain and Sigrid “I’m alright Tilda, my big brother shot the orcs.” You told the human girl.

Hearing you call him big brother made Legolas’s heart flutter even though he only knew you for awhile he grew protective of you after finding out that you were the princess and heiress of a fallen kingdom “Hide with them Y/N.” Legolas said kissing you on the head “Galu Hanar.” You said in Sindarin as you both let go of each other and ran your separate ways “Come on.” Bain said leading you and his sisters deeper into Dale until you all found an abandoned house and walked into it.

As you and the Bardlings sat in the cold abandoned house all of you heard the sounds of grunting, dark speech and swords then an Orc kicked the old door down “I found the neko girl.” The hideous creature said advancing towards you and the three humans but Bain found an old bow with an arrow and shoot it “Come on.” he said leading you, Sigrid and Tilda “I want Da.” Little Tilda said fearfully clutching your cloak and Sigrid’s skirt as more orcs followed by trolls and goblins “Dear Valar help us all.” You whispered in fear as the battle began.
