It just hit me that Thorin going on a quest to reclaim Erebor is basically like a man with a genetic predisposition to alcoholism going on a quest to reclaim his family’s ancestral distillery
THIS IS IT!!! Many MANY thanks to @rutobuka2 for sending me the link to this article from November, 2013, right around the time the extended AUJ came out. About 2/3 of the way down, Richard talks about the fireflies scene.
And once again I’m reminded that I NEED THIS PLEASE PJ SOMEONE ANYONE GIVE US FIREFLIES PLEEEEEEEEZ!
I asked for lots of pretty hair and @lorna-ka did not disappoint. I’m so happy with how this turned out, from their poses, to the rich colors and the dappled shadows. 😍
While this isn’t meant to be a specific scene from the stories, it does go with my fic series So Comes Snow After Fire and Spring After Winter and Sun on the Leaves, hence Kíli’s facial scar and their rings. I also wanted the picture to be a sort of a companion piece to this painting, which I already have hanging on my wall.
everyone in fantasy novels is horny on main for elves and it’s honestly a travesty like why the hell would you want to marry an elf you’ll just spend the rest of your days growing old in the woods with a bunch of immortal bastards whose heads are so far up their asses they think singing week-long ballads is prime entertainment and say shit like “thou” and “beseech” unironically y’all should be hooking up with dwarves who 1. actually know how to throw the fuck down and let loose at a party 2. will literally shower you in diamond dust and gold they mined and crafted with their bare hands and 3. can sling you over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes with their huge muscular arms developed from hours of said mining and crafting. there’s literally no contest.
Chapters: 34/? Fandom: The Hobbit – All Media Types Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield, Kíli/Tauriel, Dwalin/Ori, Dwalin/Nori, All the pairings, Fili/OFC Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield, Fíli, Kíli, The Company, Galadriel, Smaug, everyone, Middle Earth has a lot of folks, assume we talk to all of them, OFC Additional Tags: Irreverent Crack, Rollercoaster of feelings, 21st Century Visitor, Language Barrier, OFC – Freeform, vulgarity, obscenity, Smut, Violence, so much vulgarity in multiple languages, WIP, Fix-It, Not a Mary Sue, I swear it, Nothing goes right, the dwarves are rude, and terrible, but no one likes a dead durin, Shameless, Just enjoy, As much cursing as South Park, So don’t try to judge., Cornucopia of Ships, Quest fic, So some ships happen late, Barduil happens late, Kiliel Happens Late, At some point this stopped being crack, it’s still ridiculous, but I think it transcended crack, It has become a teensy bit epic Summary:
Imagine how pissed off you would be if you somehow ended up in Middle Earth in time to help, but you didn’t speak Westron. Or Sindarin. Or Khuzdul. All you have are proper nouns, and some random phrases like Mellon, and Amralime, and, oh yeah, the inscription from the One ring. because that’s going to go over well when you start spouting off long forgotten verse in the black tongue of Mordor…. So instead of eloquently explaining yourself and saving lives and falling in love with a character of your choice, you have to chase them around like a slightly more verbose Hodor, trying to learn a language and keep the dumb bastards alive. —————— Well, it had to happen to someone eventually, and Pissed Off is definitely the way to describe it when it happens to her. But she still tries to do her duty to the fandom and keep the Durins alive just in case it isn’t a nightmare after all.
