(i feel like this one should be sub-titled ‘Gimli’s 80′s movie training montage’ or perhaps ‘KHUZDUL. KHUZDUL EVERYWHERE’)

…I present sweet little Ori, my good people
last night I was testing out some new watercolors and brushes on a very self indulgent selkie Bilbo and mermaid Thorin drawing :))
okay, have you ever heard of Hadestown? it was this off-broadway Orpheus-and-Eurydice-myth-based musical from this past summer and I am still obsessed with it. some of the original cast recording just came out and I keep seeing Bagginshield applications. also the songs are so. freaking. good.
I’ve seen the name here and there, but I’ve never heard the music! I will have to check it out, thank you Nonnie!
I know we’re all in love with their love but in my experience every bagginshielder is either a Bilbo person or a Thorin person.
I’m a Bilbo!
i keep seeing stuff that makes me feel bad for just wanting fluff with bagginshield like i’m doing something wrong, or being shallow or ignoring the canon and i’m soo tired i just want to enjoy something happy and sweet and maybe see a traumatized character get to recover and not die and sometimes i feel i can’t even get that in fandom without feeling guilt.
anon, listen to Auntie Erina: you’re not doing anything wrong or being shallow if you just want Bagginshield fluff. ignoring canon? maybe, but I can name about a dozen other Bagginshield shippers who do that too.
so just cut those things that make you feel bad for wanting Bagginshield fluff out of your life. block, unfollow, whatever you need to do.
also here are some blogs you can follow for fluffy (sometimes angsty, but always quality) Bagginshield with zero guilt:
@rutobuka2, @bagginshieldisreal, @lovelylilpup, @acorns-in-bagginshield-hell, @emsiecat (Emsie especially!!), @oakenshieldbaggins, @determamfidd, @bilbothorin, @thebagginshieldhell
and here’s a whole Bagginshield-exclusive blog: @bagginshieldsource
it’s run by me and a whole lot of other cool people, all worth following^^
ljhakdjash I feel very honoured to be mentioned amongst such august company!!!
Nonnie, YES ERINA IS RIGHT LISTEN TO ERINA – you danged well read what you want to read! Enjoying a thing DOES NOT MAKE YOU SHALLOW, holy heck. Some people love to delve into the vastness of canon and write ALL the pain and language and minutiae, and some people want to read about Bilbo running a bakery and Thorin the chartered accountant who is addicted to his custard tarts. Neither is a ‘better’ fan, neither is more appreciative, or somehow more deserving to CALL themselves a fan. Bleh. You like what you like!
Like, imagine if we talked that way about food. Some people like a full English, some people like French Toast. Some are happy with cereal and milk. IT’S ALL STILL BREAKFAST.
Also also: canon is a big elastic band you can ignore or not to your heart’s content. Block what you don’t wanna see, snuggle deep into the fluffiness and HAVE FUN. ❤
(I feel i should say tho: I write plenty of angst myself, so fair warning, but I LOVE FLUFF ALSO and I reblog/make plenty of it!)
