Printed in the late 16th century this small book from the National Library of Sweden is an example of sixfold dos-à-dos binding, where six books are conjoined into a single publication but can be read individually with the help of six perfectly placed clasps. This particular book was printed in Germany and like almost all books at the time is a religious devotional text.

@determamfidd please take a moment to imagine: the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, The Silmarilion, and Sansukh. I am imagining it, and it is a beautiful thing.

I can’t even imagine it, it’s just too gorgeous for my imagination to handle

Bilbo at the end of AUJ: I am not throwing away my shot!
Bilbo at the end of DoS: Just stay alive, that would be enough
Bilbo at the end of BOTFA: Let me tell you what I wished I’d known, when I was young and full of glory

Scuse me, Bagginshield and Gigolas folks, if I could have a moment of your time…

LOOK AT WHAT THIS MENACE IS DOING TO ME

They say Angelicaaaa and Eliiiiza were Both at his Side when he Died…..

Angsty headcanon. Thorin and Dis probably remembered more about Dweris, Fundin, and Haban than their own kids did when they died, being many years older. Imagine Balin, Dwalin, Oin and Gloin getting stories about their dead parent(s) from them.

when you think about gimli and legolas and you remember that gimli finally died in the west and probably with legolas by his side

just stab me with a knife, it would hurt less

Okay but Bard II bouncing the Stonehelm’s dwarfling on his knees while maintaining a fantastically grim face during meetings with the Erebor council.

His great-grandad was renowned for his grim demeanour, after all… and Bard II has inherited it in spades. It’s only sliiiiiiightly less pronounced when a small curled-up creature is nestled up to him and sucking their thumb.

Later, when they’re older, he has been heard to sing ‘Giddyup Piggy’ as they bounce on his knee (to be sung to the same tune as ‘Giddyup Horsey’).

asdkagsdlajh that is such a cute idea I might just explode, Nonnie!

(1)Oh god the ficlet with Thorin and the fauntling is so preeeecioooouuus 3 I imagine that, when Thorin moves to the Shire with Bilbo after handing the crown to Fíli some years after the quest (shhhh, nobody died), the little fauntling …

(2) … has grown into a pretty hobbit lass and still remembers how Thorin saved her! She asks Thorin to be at her wedding, and Bilbo is very cross with his husband that he didn’t tell him that he saved a fauntling when he got lost in the Shire x3

AHHH INJAAAA ❤

~~NOBODY GOT HURT, HAHAHA YES, THOSE ARE LIES SPREAD BY MORGOTH~~ I am so thrilled you liked it, thank you! ! that nice Nonnie sparked an image of Thorin braced in a tree, with a shy little Hobbit lass tentatively poking at his shoulder, it was soooo cute, I had to write it!

AAaaaah! You know the best part about this idea…

it means that Thorin and Bilbo went to the wedding of Hamfast and Bell Gamgee. And I really freaking love that idea. (SMOL SAM WITH HIS HONORARY ODD UNCLES)
