Thorin Stonehelm didn’t have much in the way of head hair for his first year or three of life, so that he had a lot of alternative head-coverings. All sorts of little hats, especially woolly ones. Little decorative ribbons. Lots of pig-themed things. Jackets and sweaters with little hoods. It was Adorable. (There were some commissioned sketches/portraits of him done at this stage and Bomfris just lost it when she saw one of him in his little baby gown with pig embroidery, and a big blue ribbon.)

OK so I don’t actually use Tumblr, but I needed to comment here so I made an account…. I was lying in bed flipping through your post history looking for awesome L/G arts when suddenly one of the Bagginshield posts hit me hard in the feels.  I want to thank you because thanks to all the stuff I saw there today, I just realized this incredible parallel between Bilbo and Thorin: the Ring’s effects are so similar to dragon sickness, maybe that is how Bilbo became one of only two people who were ever able to give up the Ring.  He knew first-hand what mindless obsession with an accursed treasure can do to you and those you love.  I swore I wasn’t going to turn to the Bagginshield side of the Force and here I go anyway… you are very persuasive!  😉

I have to post this in order to answer, I’m afraid, bc your askbox is closed and you have submitted this rather than sending an ask! So I hope you do not mind, @lotrtafkab but I didn’t want you to feel like I was ignoring you!

Yeah! The creeping, insidious nature of obsession and how twisted and cruel and malignant it can be – that’s been commented on quite a bit in Hobbit fic when it comes to the dragon-sickness and/or the Ring… and not just by me, but by LOTS of people! I’m very happy you like the way I approached it 🙂 Thank you!

hey dets!! I wanted to ask you if you knew of some good tolkien fanfictions with trans characters, aside from your Sansukh and Azhar??

Hey Nonnie! I have done my best – there’s a lot more than this, I know, but for some reason my google-fu doesn’t want to co-operate with me tonight. So if anyone wishes to reblog and add some more onto the end and help the Nonnie out, that would be greatly appreciated!  

(I will first say, and I will do so every time: I am cis. I have created and I write trans characters (and my word, was I ever asked about it!!!) but it would be amazingly disrespectful and arrogant of me to write about being trans or about trans issues. And so, that is why I do not.

Many of these authors are trans or nonbinary, and can write with personal understanding and experience about being trans and about trans issues. I recommend their work wholeheartedly.)

I must first rec all the fic of @thorinsmut! Also everything by @asparklethatisblue (check out The Only Thing I Ask) and also 

orphan_account! And finally – check out the work of @dain-mothafocka (unfinished, but OH SO GOOOOOOD).

(pssst – Also, the Must-See person for recs is @baggvinshield – check out her amazing reclists!)

Here’s the search for trans characters for The Hobbit on AO3, and here’s the one for LOTR.

Now, for a couple of fics I have read and remember enjoying:

Green Silk and Gold Lace by Mozzarella (transwoman Bilbo) 

This Feeling That Remains by khazadqueen (ama)

A Tale of Two Drivers by mage_girl

Gimli’s Secret by thudworm

The liveblogs: @reclaimeddurin and @quiterespectablyyours (nonbinary Kili!)

Again, anybody out there with any recs for the lovely Nonnie, please don’t hesitate to add them onto this post! Thank you so much!
