May I present to you this absolutely showstopping sketch commission from the talented Lorbalith on Instagram! They don't have an active Tumblr, so they let me post this here. I encourage you to check out their other work. Every piece is more stunning than the last!
I commissioned this based on a scene in my fic.
The Proper Way To Call You Mine
Thorin and Bilbo have been dancing around their feelings for one another since the battle of the five armies ended. The company, particularly Fili and Kili, are sick of it. They devise a plan to force their feelings for one another into the open. Will things go to plan, or will their good intentions backfire horribly?
The twinkifcation of Bilbo is weird I’m used to fandoms doing that I’m not naive as to why and I have just gotten into the hobbit fandom so maybe I have only seen a small fraction of fan art that does it but Bilbo is a 50 year old man(hobbit whatever)and it’s specifically stated that hobbits eat more than three meals a day so no he does not look like a twink. He is also insane his home gets invaded by 12 dwarves and an old man in a house dress and is basically dared into going on a dangerous quest to steal from a basically god like being to him he has no experience in stealing at all but says FUCK IT WHY NOT and then basically lucks out by finding a weird ring from this weird fucked up dude in a cave and then decided not to tell anyone.
Point is Bilbo is definitely gay but he is not a useless little twink who always needs to be protected that man is insane let him be insane.
Long rant but I just have been needing to say that for awhile
