The fact that The Hobbit is such a lighthearted family-friendly book, especially when compared to LOTR, actually breaks my heart when you consider that it is Bilbo’s writing. That journey was anything but a fun trip for him. He went through real dangers and horrifying moments. He saw violence for the first time. At the end of it, he lost his love. And he went home traumatized, heartbroken, and forever changed.

Yet when he wrote the story down, he emphasized the more successful and fun parts, and glossed over the depth of his pain and grief when the losses happened (even leaving Fili and Kili’s passing to a throwaway line.)

Because what else could he have done? Nobody else could possibly understand his pain. Bilbo wasn’t like Frodo. He didn’t have a Sam who he shared the experience with and could talk to about it every day afterward, to help him work through writing down the details of the darker parts of the story. And his other friends lived far away and could only visit occasionally.

And the hobbit children were all full of wonder about Elves and dwarves and trolls, so he put the focus on that.

I feel like that was his way of dealing with his trauma.

Life Hack: Romanticize leaving your house by playing the LOTR soundtrack and pretending you’re going on a noble quest for the good of Middle Earth instead of going to class or to the grocery store to get eggs.

I think burying Thorin with the Arkenstone was kind of a dick move on behalf of the dwarves.

Imagine how gut wrenching it is for Bilbo to watch Thorin being buried with the thing he almost murdered Bilbo for taking, the thing that drove him to his madness, to his death and the death of his nephew’s.

What books would characters from The Hobbit read?

This idea came up to me a while ago, but now I have to share it, so here me out ig:

I think Bilbo would read everything he can get his hands on. But mostly fantasy novels, history books, basically anything that would include a piece of unknown world. I just know that he would love Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne and I think he would enjoy Brandon Sanderson's books.

Here's a controversial one, but I think Thorin would mostly read poetry. Especially the Lake Poets. He would read poems about home, love, a warm place where people can feel safe. That's what he wanted, that's why he wanted to regain Erebor. (He would also read romance novels in his free time, but nobody knows about it. Fili and Kili would die twice if they found out. Of laughing and because Thorin would chase them with a knife).

Kili wouldn't read much. He would mostly watch films, but if he once in a while picks up a book it's usually a romance-comedy, or the worst and the most traumatising horror book, a person could ever read. He would recommend them to people by saying "It's a really good book! You will enjoy it!" and then laugh when they come back traumatised. He would like "Ring", "Haunting Adeline" and literally anything by Jane Austen.

Fili would read mostly criminal books or just contemporary fiction. He wouldn't have high expectations for books, but he would complain about every detail if he didn't like one. He would be the type of guy that says "the book was better" after he watched a movie based of a book. Even if he didn't read this particular book, he would say that, just to piss people off.

Porn.

Ori would read contemporary fiction, like Fili, and he would be the victim of Bofur's and Kili's recommendations. Poor guy. He would also read classic romance novels. I have a feeling that he would love Jane Austen's and Bronte sisters' works. I don't know why but it fits. Look at him.

History books and war literature. Do I have to explain myself? This guy would give you an hour long monologue about the emergence of the Balkan countries and you would listen to every word he says. After that he would make you a cup of tea and then asked what books you like to read. And somehow, even if you read a completely different genre, he would recommend you something that you would really enjoy.

Nori's the type of guy who says that he reads everything, even if that's a complete bullshit. He would only read criminal novels (he would have read all of Agatha Christie and killed you if you would say you don't like her work) and sometimes japanese classic literature. And by that I mean Edogawa Ranpo and his "The Human Chair" or "The Hornworm".

I just know that Dwalin would have read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" like twenty times as a kid. When he was a little older, he tried classic literature, poetry, adventure, sience fiction, war literature, a few romance novels, horror books... He's the true "I read everything" guy. His favourite authors would be Dostoevsky, Karl Adolph Gjellerup (but he wouldn't be a fan of the femme fatale thing) and John Milton.

Cook books.

hopefully this post flops like literally all of my other posts and doesn't land on the wrong side of the fandom (aka those who've only watched the movies)

but people claiming that the movies are better because they "actually make sad things sad" while the book "waters everything down", really worry me like. are we talking about the same book. no because. i pinky promise you that we didn't need tauriel nor legolas and that the characters could've kept their book characterization just fine. really i promise. the book was already sad. "kíli and fíli and thorin's deaths were a mere throwaway line!" my love dearest do you really need a whole ass gruesome dramatic detailed description to empathize or just understand what happened. just because they don't straight up tell you "those two kids went on an apparently cool and heroic mission with their uncle who they loved very much and fucking died through atrocious suffering to claim an alleged home they've never known and will never know" it doesn't mean that isn't what happened. it doesn't make it any less sad.

#the hobbit movies were the coolest movies i've ever seen but they are not a movie adaptation of the hobbit. they're their own thing.#you see... you love thranduil. i love the elvenking of mirkwood. we're not the same.#because THEY are not the same.#just saying. i'm not the biggest tauriel fan nor the overly angsty thranduil's nor legolas in the hobbit's #but again i loved it.#i'm just blabbing #the hobbit #the hobbit movies #the hobbit book #fili and kili #kili durin #fili durin #the hobbit spoilers

I think I finally figured out why I fucking hate ya fantasy romance so much, I grew up with the hobbit movies so my standard for hot semi magical being I want to bone is

- shorter than me

-either long hair or long beard

- braids

-poor table manners

- looking a little dirty/unkept

- kinda funny looking

- extremely wealthy but doesn't acts like a french aristocrat

- hard working

-just generally funny/joyful

So all the beardless, TikTok haircut, very arrogant and proper, classy, wine drinking, brooding, angry and fancy fucks bore me to my core

#anti booktok #this explains a lot #books #writing #the hobbit #thorin's company #i am not joking about this #fili had 14 yo me on a chokehold #and dwalin aswell #and bofur #thorin and kili too but not as much
