one of my favorite things about modern AU LOTR fics is that there is this unspoken fandom agreement that all of these fics take place in this mirrorworld where names like fucking Bilbo Baggins are 100% normal and no one bats an eye at it and he definitely wasn’t called something awful like Dildo Saggins when he was a little kid
excuse you it would be swaggins cause bilbs got that swag and he 100% gave himself that nickname
I wish we had better references for Bilbo’s room but this was my best guess as his bed faces the window.
During this Halloween season, I would like to reflect upon the time that my daughter’s Bilbo toy lost its head, and my hubby decided to replace it with an acorn.
Inktober day 3 and 4.
Day 3: Collect …aka ‘no you’ve already got 13 sorry, 10 dwarves and you dont look after them.’
Day 4: Hungry …aka ‘yes but what about Second Breakfast’
September 22 – “At last the day of the Big Party arrived. Everywhere there was too
much to eat, and by midafternoon there were broken presents lying all
over the Shire attesting to the low quality of their manufacture. Gandalf
set off a series of fireworks later on in the day, including great
skywriting missiles and little flaming butterflies who took to wing,
sailed off into the Eastfarthing and burned all its trees to the ground. The last firework sent up a great black smoke which took the shape
of a giant mountain of fire. A flicker could be seen of a giant dragon
sailing about its peak; after a moment the great dragon went sailing over
the heads of the crowd, causing great panic and consternation and six
outright heart attacks before imploding somewhere over the
Sackville-Baggins’ neighborhood, causing considerable property damage
which was never properly repaired for generations afterward. ‘That is the signal for supper!’, Bilbo cried out to the survivors,
who were only partly mollified.”
i love the headcanon that thorin is great with kids whereas bilbo isnt. bilbo doesnt like children that much and he’d rather interact with teens, nobody younger. thorin is just a natural Parent, he helped raises his nephews, and i like to think dwarf culture is very family oriented, and thorin always lent a helping hand especially to dwarves with children
and hes definitely a whiz with the fauntlings and frodo. which is a relief to bilbo
Sansukh updated, I read the new chapter, and then my brain exploded and this was the result. I hope this makes up at least a little for how inconsistent I’ve been being lately. Most of what I’m writing at the moment is stuff that I can’t or won’t post just yet (A bardainduil Triad-Verse Big Bang fic, another 1000 Gigolas Fics Challenge fic, a giant-ass lotr time-travel fic that’s too close to my heart to be posted while it’s still a WIP, etc), but I really miss writing one-shots, so maybe I’ll manage to write a few more soon… -shrugs- Either way, enjoy this ridiculous fluff-fest in the mean time ❤
IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS THEN DO YOUR HEART A FAVOUR
IT IS THE SWEETEST AND FLUFFIEST AND JUST MOST DARLING THING I LOVE ITTTT.
Small hobbits and a cheeky Dwarven washing-up song, and terribly scandalised Hobbit parents and a disreputable Bilbo <333 I loved it so much it is now #21 in the Sansukh Appendices!
