I Colored It 👍 Yay

The original toxic yaoi

Bagginshield is for LOVERS, Thorinduil is for SLUTS

Them....

once again thinking about hobbit/dwarf cultural differences and I really like the idea of dwarves being all about actions speaking louder than words and are very physically affectionate with their friends and family and more generally casual touch/contact is very normal to them

Bilbo finds this out very quickly with all the initial pats on the shoulder/arm/back, which turn into arms slung over his shoulders, hugs, head pats, and a lot of casual leaning into him whether seated or standing up, as well as the various times the dwarf nearest him will quickly grab him and/or put themselves between him and any perceived danger - they're a mighty protective bunch considering they've only known Bilbo a few months

He thinks he's used to how touchy dwarves are until Thorin grabs his hand one day to assist/drag him across a rocky path through a river, and Bilbo is just about having a conniption fit at the romantic implications (from a hobbit perspective) meanwhile Thorin thinks absolutely nothing of it because from a dwarven perspective he has no reason to

Bilbo's hair gets much longer than he usually likes it and mentions in passing to Fili and Kili that he'll have to cut it and the boys are completely scandalized and look like they're about to cry like "what?! No!! Why?! Are you and uncle getting divorced? :(((((" and Bilbo just has to pause for a second because what does that have to do with anything he just said

The hobbit fandom is so beautiful:

Oh this character has a physical disability, lets come up with 50 ways that their community will rally around them in a series universe accurate care methods to make their life easier.

Oh this character has brain damage of a learning disability? They are treated with the same level of respect and understanding as everyone else and what ever they are able to contribute from creating things to simply being present with their friends and family is enough

Oh this character is gender queer? Screw it let’s take the entire fandom and just remove gender constructs as we know them from several races. Making any sexism or homophobia seem as truly strange and off putting as it is not normal in these societies.

The hobbit fandom is based as fuck

Man I’m tired and I’m sorry for bringing up some less pleasing stuff on here but I feel the need to talk about this. So recently I’ve noticed an increase in people using chat gpt to write fanfiction, even some in the hobbit fandom. Ai “art” has been a pretty difficult topic for me for a while, yet I want to talk about it more and bring people to understand the consequences of it. But I think it’s also important to bring awareness to the other parties suffering from the usage of ai. I chose Bilbo for this cause I think it’s funny how these ai “writers” forget that Bilbo is an actual writer, so to use a tool that steals from other creators would be the worst insult to his craft

So here’s what Bilbo says:

And here’s what I say, tag your favourite writers to show them support!!

Ok so

I love Dís

I love how everyone has decided that she's the most competent Durin out of her family and has the Durin Brain cell whos not afraid of tell Thorin to fuck off and make fun of him

I love that for her

But

I think it would be really funny if she does lose all of that it when it comes to love

Which means....she gives bad courting advice

She boasts about how she manages to marry her One

But imagine her husband is the only one who knows how embarrassing bad it was but he loves her anyway so he didn't comment on it to not hurt her feelings and

Well

Now imagine this

Thorin comes to Dís for advice on how to court Bilbo cuz who else can he ask because she's the only one (aside from Gloin and he's not asking Gloin when he should have) who's married

She gives him advice of what she did for her late husband and he follows that

Cue to Bilbo being very very confused

Hey, yeah so..

Enjoy this thing I made 😎
