shipping bagginshield and having read tolkien aren’t mutually exclusive -_-
I learned that he had never married. I thought that odd though I guessed why it was and the reason that I guessed was not that most of the Hobbits gave me – that he had early been left very well off and his own master. No, I guessed that he wanted to remain ‘unattached’ for some reason deep down which he did not understand himself – or would not acknowledge, for it alarmed him.
Gandalf talking to Pippin about Bilbo, Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth (via dheiress88)
(Teen, WIP – Bagginshield, Gigolas, Kiliel, Barduil, and others)
A beautifully-written WIP (three chapters so far!) with a lovely mystery and great characterisation, FAB use of Khuzdul and worldbuilding, and some really poignant moments. Post-BOTFA fixit.
We’d like to thank you all for your patience. This took far longer than we had anticipated, but we are optimistic that future chapters will come out in a more timely manner.
But no matter! Chapter Two is here for your listening pleasure. Thanks to everyone who auditioned and who have continued to support this project, and a special shout out to elednorofpellinor, cagethesongbird and notanightlight for helping us on the technical side of things.

DORI AND GLOIN MY DARLINGS, you beautiful, sensational, heartbreaking people. You are amazing. Your little exchange was just augh, the practicalities of being the ones to clean up the mess, i had to bite my hand.
Enter Battlepig and Bofur!! DRINKING BUDS HUZZAH. Bofur *clutches face* ohhhhhhhhhh…! INCREDIBLE JOB. I can feel the anger and hurt pouring off you.

I was having a bit of trouble with drawing and I thought I’d take on the wardrobe challenge (maybe later) with bagginshield but I only got as far as drawing the “lounging/lazy time stuff” theme and the underwear one
Colors on my Chapter 38 Sansukh art. In honor of Sansukh’s Birthday! Coloring has been very frustrating for me lately so this is sadly a bit messy. That is the laziest background! However I had a great deal of fun playing with Bilbo’s transparency (moar star fields!), even though it meant erasing half the color work I did on him. I almost forgot Thrain’s mourning mark! remembered it last minute. Chapter 38 is glorious and I shall go re-read it now (And perhaps work on some gigolas).
