not the big dick energy of bilbo baggins to be named a hero in Erebor, Dale and Mirkwood and then promptly fuck off back home where everyone thought he was a crackhead and his relatives were literally waiting on him to die already, live a stupidly long amount of time just to spite them, give all his money to some random relative he adopted, and then fuck off to rivendell of all places and spend the rest of his days making fun of elrond while eating his food and living in his home rent free.

#i love him. he's such an asshole #thranduil dain and bard: 'you are welcome anytime burgler baggins. please let us repay with our hospitality' #bilbo: no ❤️ #bilbo baggins brainrot hours #the hobbit #thranduil #bard #dain ironfoot #bilbo baggins

My Headcannons for Pets I Think The Fellowship Would Have

(these are based on nothing but Vibes and what i think would be fun. feel free to add your own)

Frodo- A common skink. My headcannon is that Sam almost ran over it in the garden, brought it in to show Frodo and they've been inseperable ever since. Frodo named it "Smaug" to mess with Bilbo, who pretends he hates it but is actually indifferent. Frodo likes to set Smaug on top of his head just to be distracting, especially when getting a lecture from his uncle or Lobelia.

Sam - Basset Hound. I feel like Sam thinks he's too busy to have pets, but is also a huge dog person. So when this mangy malnourished old hound dog shows up one day and starts following him around he's annoyed but like he can't not feed it? And build it a dog house, get it a collar, de-flea it, give it belly rubs....

Merry- i don't think this is particular to him but I just think the Brandybucks are the type of slightly unhinged people to have a huge half-feral fuzzy hellspawn of a cat hanging around their manor at all times. No one knows who it belonged to or where it came from (some say it was there before Brandy Hall) but the only people it will tolerate are Merry and his dad. Anyone else who tries to pet it will get their eyes clawed out, but Merry can pick it up and cuddle it like a teddy bear. The cat is unnamed and known only as "It".

Pippin - Pippin is considered too irresponsible to have a pet yet but after a lot of whining Paladin allows him to get a goldfish. Her name is Mary (not to be confused with Merry) and he pampers her as much as one can pamper a goldfish.

Gandalf- He'd have an owl. He just would. Harry Potter people Do Not chime in. The owl sits on his shoulder and makes the exact same faces as him. It also tries to eat his beard. Definately a gift from Radagast and it's name is some unpronounceable word in an ancient language.

Aragorn- Everyone knows Aragorn is a horse girl and nothing can touch his bond with Brego. But I also feel like at some point during his travels he's befriended four or five wild raccoons. They show up occasionally, with no prompting, and he feeds them and maybe heals them and they go on their way. This happens once during the "Three Hunters" portion of Two Towers but at that point Legolas and Gimli are so immune to Aragorn's weirdness they don't bat an eye.

Legolas - You can't convince me he hasn't befriended, raised and trained a 5 foot giant Mirkwood spider. It doesn't like the sun so of course he doesn't bring it on the quest, but for months the fellowship hears him make reference to how much he misses "FeeFee" or some other stupid name that sounds like a french poodle before someone finally asks about it and immediately regrets it.

Gimli - He would definately have a young mountain goat. I headcannon that bats and goats are as common pets to dwarves as dogs and cats are to humans. His goat is long haired and grayish white with curled horns, and likes to curl up next to him and recieve head scritches while he reads/relaxes.

Boromir - I definately feel like Boromir would be into falconry and has been since a young age. His falcon would be huge and intimidating and have a name like "Maximus" but it's also dumb as dirt and constantly getting lost. Denethor has offered to get him another bird a hundred times but Boromir is WAY too attatched to his to even consider it.

BONUS

Eowyn- She has a terrifying wolfhound named "Slayer" who is actually a huge sweetheart that loves everyone. Its the dynamic of scary dog/cute girl except the girl is actually the one to look out for.

Faramir- Cat person. I feel this in my bones. Faramir has at LEAST four cats and adores them all. The cats are all named after various Valar.

Bilbo - declaritively Not A Pet Person but one time he waged a week long battle against a mouse that was making nests out of his papers, and when he finally caught it he couldn't bare to put it out in the snow. It rides around in his vest pocket now and terrorizes Elrond, and has it's own "mini Bag End" made of matchbooks and other odds and ends. The mouse still remains unnamed because "once you name it you're attached".

Suddenly Bilbo's arm went towards it, drawn by it's enchantment. His small hand would not close about it for it was a large and heavy gem; but he lifted it, shut his eyes, and put it in his deepest pocket.

"Now I am a burglar indeed!" thought he.

Bilbo in the films: "I will take the arkenstone but only to protect Thorin 👉👈 only because I care for him so much 🥺 and don't want it to corrupt him,,,"

Bilbo in the book:

i love how bilbo reaches rivendell probably expecting elves to be these grand, stoic, otherworldly beings, and instead they're all drunk as fuck up in the trees singing and talking shit. They start laughing and calling him fat as soon as they see him, and bilbo somewhere subconciously is like "this is it. I've found my place. I want to spend the rest of my life here."

#bilbo is like 'ah this is elrond's home for bitches. ill fit right in here' #bilbo baggins brainrot hours #the hobbit #also...how DID the elves know bilbo's name? 🤔 am i stupid or did they never explain that #i mean elrond could have foreseen them coming or gandalf could have rode ahead or whatever #bilbo baggins #gandalf #rivendell

When I first watched LotR as a small child I was already a giant Bilbo stan, and I watched the movies with Bilbo-tinted glasses, but even since then I continue to be facinated by his importance- but also relative unimportance- to that story. It's such a strange archetype that I don't think I've ever seen before.

Bilbo is really the cog in the wheel of Middle Earth's evil forces. He's the first hobbit to ever be notable enough to be mentioned by name when the elves record their histories. He's the first person to try and parley peace between the elves of Mirkwood and the dwarves of Erebor. He's the first person to (inadvertently) thwart Sauron's plans by unexpectedly taking the ring away from it's corrupted bearer and far beyond his sight. He is the catalyst that gets all the forces moving, that sets the pieces on the board for LotR. It seems as close as Tolkien gets to having a hobbit as a "chosen one", or traditional "hero"; someone who upsets the balance, an underdog. But in the end thats not who Bilbo is and that isn't what happens: ultimately Bilbo ages out of his part in the story and his torch is handed off to someone else. Just another of Tolkien's ways of subverting expectations- in the council of Elrond scenes he even lets the audience (and Bilbo) believe for a moment that this might still be his story, and he the Chosen ringbearer. But this isn't the case; its the child that Bilbo adopted who must ultimately finish what he started.

This is such poignant scene to me in the book. Bilbo coming to terms with the fact that the kindness he had meant in raising Frodo and in giving him the ring as his inheritance ultimately spelled out his doom, and that there's nothing he can do about it at this point. Tolkien tells us something important here, that kindness and good intentions don't always go right; but it was kindness nontheless.

That, to me, is honestly the most striking part of Bilbo's place in the entire story. Thorin on his deathbed calls him "child of the kindly west" and in the end that really is his legacy; his kindness in assisting the dwarves, his kindness in raising Frodo, his kindness in choosing to give up the ring, his kindness in sparing Gollum- that is, ultimately, what saves middle earth. I really disliked the PJ films for taking so much of the focus away from Bilbo's journey and putting it on other things, but I do really like this quote created for it, because I think it sums up perfectly what I mean;

“I have found that it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - Gandalf

Listen I've just had a thought. The Hobbit is told from Bilbo's perspective, and since no matter what people are going to pick and choose cannon because he's "unreliable narrator", a better adaptation should have just leaned into it. Go full ham. The Hobbit but told in the format of The Emporer's New Groove, where bilbo breaks the fourth wall and butts in to make snide comments about how bad Gollum smelled or what a dumbass Thorin is.

Bilbo's bacon obsession in The Hobbit

#if i did all the times bilbo talks abt/complains abt/daydreams abt food this post would break the dashboard #bilbo baggins brainrot hours #the hobbit #lotr

[bilbobagginsbrainrotblog]

this is not gonna be a popular post and in fact ill probably get unfollowed for it, but im just thinking about how bilbo, this tiny little hobbit with no battle experience, decided to go back on his own into the goblin tunnels to look for the dwarves, but how gandalf was standing around trying to convince all thirteen of the dwarves to do the same for him because they didnt think he was worth it :/

#and then people will be like 'ew i cant believe bilbo said mean things abt the company near the end of the book' #like maybe its cause. they were kinda dicks to him #and yeah this mostly comes back on thorin bc you know #he's the leader. #the hobbit #bilbo baggins brainrot hours

  "The Road Goes Ever On" is a title that encompasses several walking songs that J. R. R. Tolkien wrote for his Middle-earth legendarium. Within the stories, the original song was composed by Bilbo Baggins and recorded in The Hobbit. Different versions of it also appear in The Lord of the Rings, along with some similar walking songs. - Wikipedia

A comparison of several adaptations of this song/poem. I’d love to hear what everyone’s personal favorite is. Mine has to be Ian Holm’s recitation from the 1981 BBC audio production, with the Howard Shore version as a close second. 

#Billy Boyd's 'the last goodbye' is a bonus track bc he only uses roughly four lines from the poem #and several words within those four lines are changed making it a VERY loose adaptation #you know i'm usually a paul daneman diehard but i have to be fair here. holm just totally kills it #his recitation is good but it's a straight reading #you need the context of the whole scene to see how they use it in a really cool way :) #anyway welcome new followers. i'm insane #the hobbit #bilbo baggins brainrot hours #the hobbit 1968 #1968 bbc audio drama the hobbit #bbc lord of the rings #ian holm #ian mckellan #sir ian mckellan #paul daneman #billy boyd #howard shore #lotr #lord of the rings #bilbo baggins #Gandalf #clamavi de profundis #jrr tolkien #hobbit

The virgin 2012 Hobbit movie: has a boring and overblown sequence of gandalf getting his ass beat by the necromancer and then adds some weird heteronormative bs between him and galadriel just for shits and giggles

The chad 1968 audiodrama: has gandalf take care of the necromancer alone, offscreen, and then bring it up later in elrond's house to gaslight bilbo into thinking he encountered him and just forgot
