My brain has BETRAYED me I was sitting here minding my own business when my brain presented me with the idea of Bilbo with the lines “I stop wasting time on tears/I live another fifty years/it’s not enough” and “Oh, I can’t wait to see you again” PLUS Thorin saying “My love, take your time/I’ll see you on the other side” MY LIFE IS RUINED

OH MAN YEAH there are some lines in Hamilton that absolutely AMBUSH you with Bagginshield feels. The one that hit me hard was “That Would Be Enough” imagining Thorin under the dragon sickness in Erebor and Bilbo trying to snap him out of it with:

Look at where you are
Look at where you started
The fact that you’re alive is a miracle
Just stay alive, that would be enough

Seriously, it’s a minefield
