I Get People Asking Me How I Recovered From Everything My Parents Put Me Through.

Best uncle 🌟🌟

(the age here are probably not canon but hey, i'm free 🫡)

I am about to rant about the movies and acting and such, I want to make it clear that I am merely a film student with nothing but a certificate for the time being therefor I am not a professional with any professional opinion.

This is just me and my thoughts as a NYFA graduate and a gay ass BagginShield shipper.

The amount of times Tauriel and Kili’s love story is paralleled with Bilbo and Thorin’s scenes is literally a filmmaking technique to portray the two relationships without getting castigated by the audience.

Which also brings to my attention a possibility of Tauriel being made a character for the heavily disapproved of and messy love triangle thing, as a way to draw the attention away from Martin and Richard making Bilbo and Thorin’s story one of beautifully grown friendship, to love, to an toxic and tragic end.

Sound familiar? Because that’s similar to Kili and Tauriel, though they had the freedom of exploring more into the romance then the friendship that the main characters had to work with. Because who wants to see a straight couple slow burn? Plenty but not people who ogle at hot red heads such as myself, (I love my girlfriend guys).

——

Example 1:

The scene of Balin telling Thorin that someone needs to go save Bilbo (while he’s in with Smaug).

Cuts to Bofur giving Tauriel the weed and asking what she’s going to do with it, she responds by saying “I’m going to save him”

Clean cut back to Thorin running into the mountain, not for the gold as he hasn’t even seen it yet, but he’s looking for Bilbo.

Example 2:

Tauriel crying over Kili, asking Thranduil why it hurt so much, and knowing the comfort she needed, he tells her; “because it was real.”

Then we get to Bilbo crying over Thorin, Gandalf sitting down with him and just being there, knowing the comfort that Bilbo needed.

——

And yes I did in fact rant to my Poppy about this before finishing it and ended up in an in depth discussion about Peter Jackson’s directing on it in general. Normal Sunday night tbh.

Anyway THANK YOU FOR THIS TED TALK ❤️🫶🏿

BAGGINSHIELD HEADCANONS

COOKING SKILLS

Thorin - He's good at cooking dishes that don't require many steps. Simple things like pasta, eggs, meat...

Bilbo - An experienced cook, he's really good at desserts. Likes to keep a clean kitchen while he cooks.

PAST RELATIONSHIPS

Neither for the two of them. They are akward middle-aged men, virgins. Bilbo is too shy to admit that his only romantic knowledge comes from books.

SHOW OF AFFECTION

Thorin- He's more likely to use gestures rather than words. He likes to buy Bilbo expensive things.

Bilbo- He is more prone to using words, He also enjoys using the written word, writing poetry and praises to Thorin.

They are both embarrassed to show affection in public but feel safe when they are alone or with close people.

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

A Modern Hobbit AU,

Except the Company is a band with Thorin as the lead Guitarist/singer and founder of the band. Gandalf is their Manager.

The plot is that they need a lead singer for the tour they’re about to go on, and Gandalf remembers his old friends son who had an amazing voice.

He shows up with the band at Bilbos house, they throw a rave and convince him to go on tour with them. They don’t believe that he’s as good of a singer as Gandalf says until they actually hear him sing.

Thorin doesn’t think he fits in with their aesthetic, but then accidentally falls in love with Bilbo.

If nobody draws this then I’m gonna lose it, im going to do it myself, but I hope to see someone else’s interpretation.

Poor Ori 🤣🤣

Thorin checking barrels for his burglar: Bilbo?? No? Shit

Do you ever think of the fact that Gimli knew Ori well enough to be able to recognise his handwriting after years of not seeing him?

Do you think about one night, Ori, Fili, Kili and Gimli are out having drinks or something before they leave to join the Company, joking and promising Gimli that they’d be back soon to tell him all about it, how they couldn’t wait to see him again but in Erebor.

Do you think that Ori and Gimli sat together, alone. The Princes voices no longer filling the silence.

Then Gimli sat alone.

I’m gonna draw this 🤫🧏‍♀️
