LOTR’s concept artists designed the films as a “journey back in time”
So (according to the concept art book) as the Fellowship travels deeper into Middle Earth, the places they pass through become inspired by progressively older periods of history. The farther along you are in the story, the more ancient the design influences
We begin in The Shire: which feels so familiar because, with its tea-kettles and cozy fireplaces, it’s inspired by the relatively recent era of rural England in the 1800s
But when we leave Hobbiton, we also leave that familiar 1800s-England aesthetic behind and start going farther back in time.
Bree is based on late 1600s English architecture
Rohan is even farther back, based on old anglo-saxon era architecture (400s-700s? ce)
Gondor is way back, and no longer the familiar English or Anglo-Saxon: its design comes from classical Greek and Roman architecture
And far far FAR back is Mordor. It’s a land of tents and huts: prehistoric, primitive, primeval. Cavemen times
And the heart of Mordor is a barren lifeless hellscape of volcanic rock…like a relic from the ages when the world was still being formed, and life didn’t yet exist
And then they finally reach Mount Doom, which one artist described as
“where the ring was made, which represents, in a sense, the moment of creation itself”

Modern AU Bagginshield
Figured I might actually put up the rough story idea for this one:
Bilbo and Thorin got together at a local bar. Bilbo was in grad school and Thorin just a struggling musician who’s family fell from fame after his father’s wasted all the money on drugs and booze. Over the course of their relationship, Thorin puts together a band with his closest family members and soon they begin to skyrocket to stardom. But as the fame comes rolling in for Thorin, so does the pressure to party, and the booze and drugs follow. One night, before a big show, Thorin is drunk and drugged up, falling into a heavy argument with Bilbo. It leads to Thorin physically assaulting Bilbo, and Bilbo leaves, leaving the Durin to wallow in his drunken misery.
Fastforward five years later, Thorin is sober thanks to his family stepping in. He’s still a famous musician, but that fame means nothing when his heart is hollow. Bilbo is now a college professor teaching writing and poetry, but is struggling to get over an abusive relationship. A chance meeting at the same local bar brings the two back together, and Thorin is determined to make up for his past mistakes to his hobbit, no matter the obstacles.
Might consider writing this, might not— depends if I have the time. We’ll see. ;)

“The weaver, the shaper of wood, and the worker in metals; and the tiller and husbandman also, though these last and all that deal with things that grow and bear fruit must look also to the spouse of Aulë, Yavanna Kementári.”
