After the Quest is over, Bofur makes a killing on hobbit costumes. There are so many babbuhs in Erebor and Dale and, really, all of Middle Earth, dressed up as Frodo and Sam and Pippin and Merry. (Gimizh is not sure which of the hobbits is is favorite, although he, of course, always plays his Brave Uncle Gimli when he and the others recreate the Quest. He once tried to recruit Laerophen to play Legolas.)

Gimizh is of course the envy of every Dwarfling in the North… because he owns the real actual helm that his uncle wore on the Quest.

Wee Thorin is allowed to touch it. Balinith is too. 

(Frerinith… is not).

Of course, it’s much too big, and it slips down over his eyes. But try telling him that and he’ll attack your knees.

Whispers of course he would never get one (unless Thorin jokingly gave him one, lol) but if you /had/ to make a Dark Name for Bilbo, what would that name be? Feel free to take this as seriously as you wish ofc. I am totally up for Bilbo being called Sassmaster tbh.

LMAO what’s khuzdul for Sassmaster…? XD

Well, I do like that the Hobbits have their own language… it’s not a secret language like Khuzdul, but they have one! Not that it sees much use, mind.

Bilbo’s name, in the hobbit-tongue, is in fact Bilba Labingi.

(Frodo’s is Maura Labingi, Merry is Kalimac Brandagamba, Sam is

Banazîr Galpsi and Pippin is Razanur Tûk!)

A dark-name for Bilbs, though… arrrrrgh, this is a tricky one. Okay, I think I have something…

ararrakidazbur – The Secret Diamond

This would refer to both Bilbo’s rather unexpected heroism and bravery, his brilliant, blazingly bright mind, and his secretiveness (EXCESSIVE SECRECY HELLO). It could also be seen as a reference to his rather… cutting wit (like a diamond, hee!) and his spirit.

dazbur: containing diamond (shape)* (*diamond (stone))
ararraki: continue to keep secret / to keep secret excessively

Those who have not read the Silmarillion and think Frodo is getting on that boat to live forever, and those who have read the Silmarillion and know that he’s off to die. 

“[In the West] you would but wither and grow weary the sooner, as moths in a light too strong and steadfast.”

In some ways you could consider a mortal sailing into the West to be a form of self-euthanasia

Frodo was probably dead by the time Sam got there and that makes me cru

I tend to think the primary purpose of being in the Tolkien fandom is just to remind each other of the tragic beauty of everything in Middle-earth and cry

I can accept that mortals die in the West, but I will NEVER believe that Frodo didn’t get to see Sam again, and I honestly don’t think that’s what Tolkien intended either.

Just had a cute HC: Boromir survives the quest, and at the end he goes to Hobbiton to visit the hobbits every so often once they’re back home. Him with Sam and Rosie’s kids. All wide-eyed and ‘OMG what is this tiny small thing, I do not remember Faramir being this small’, holding a newborn baby hobbit because he’s a friend to all Hobbits thanks to what Pippin and the others said about him. Hobbit kids clinging to his legs and asking why his feet are so tiny.

Until The End.

OH 

MY HEART

MY HEART KAZIIIII

this is so. so. wonderful. It’s SO FILI. SO SO SO FILI, augh, loyal baby, sweet true-hearted darling. I gasped aloud all through at this bit: “” 

“Sam, honorary dwarf, lion of the shire,” Fili whispered, “I would have liked to call you friend. I would have liked to take your arm in brotherhood, and give you my shoulder so that you might weep at your own pains! I would like to smack you in the back of your head for giving up all your water and food to Frodo, and then I would like to get you drunk and tell you how proud I am!”

…because what sheer perfect Fili-ness, how beautifully phrased and characterised. 

And the way it reminds him of ‘back then’….  DDDD: AARGH

Golden Heart, Lion of the Shire… oh help I need a hug. This is amazing, Kazi. AMAZING. This scenario def happened as far as I’m concerned, no question. I adore it (PLEASE WRITE AGAIN OMFG) – and thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Hi Dets! I just want to say that I love Sansukh and I’m so excited for the next chapter! Mount Doom! So we’ll get to see Sam’s “I can’t carry it for you but I can carry you!” right? And the Battle at the Black Gate, and the Eagles! This chapter is going to be huge!!! Ok, I’m done. Sorry, you’re just amazing! Have a happy new year!!!

askjdfaksjdhfa YOU’RE SUCH A SWEETHEART, thank you so much Nonnie! I am so happy you like it, and phew yeah, there’s a lot to get into the next chapter hopefully without losing the momentum guh. We totally will be seeing Sam’s moment of Epic Crowning Badassery, oh my GOD yes, I couldn’t possibly live with myself if I left it out!

(I am still tearing my hair out over the timing of the chapter in ROTK entitled ‘The Field of Cormallen’, seriously. One page of battle- IF THAT, JUST ONE PAGE – then BOOM, and a blink later and we’re back in Ithilien and everyone is spontaneously singing “Praise them with great praise”. HUH WUT WAIT HUH THAT WAS QUICK)

(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)

Bell telling every fauntling that wants to listen how nice this dwarf was. Bell telling her children that when they’re ever in trouble and she or her husband aren’t close to yell for Thorin, because he WILL save them. Thorin offering the best piggy-back rides to the littlest fauntlings. Thorin teaching all the fauntlings how to swim after Frodo’s patents drown and he realises that most hobbits can’t swim.

Thorin and fauntlings
