all clothes are unisex if you stop giving a shit
part 2 of the librarian memes bc i made so many of them it's insane. only this time you can really tell who are my favourite characters.
One of my fav things from the first Eragon book:
When Eragon sees the Urgal footprint and tells Saphira to get Brom to safety and she just grabs Brom and presses him against her with her wings without telling him why and won't let him go before Eragon tells her to. That's just peak "Eragon and Saphira share one (1) braincell and she didn't have it at that time". Also I wanna know what went on in Broms head. One moment he's making a campfire, the next moment his son's dragon snatches him up and won't let him go.
@asura-kairuko requested a gorgon crowley a while back! and this was the perfect thing to sketch at the end of today's work stream š thank you everyone for coming todayyyy! [vod]
Other customs that hobbits do that would be particularly weird/shocking to dwarves would be gifting locks of their hair to their friends and loved ones.
Bilbo leaves them for all of the company. Just strands of his hair tied together with ribbon to signify how much he cares about them. It is..surprising to say the least to all of them, especially Thorin who thinks something is wrong.
Hair is sacred to dwarves. And they fear something is wrong with Bilbo, or someone has hurt him because he's cutting it all off.
In reality, Hobbits share hair often. They've got lots of it, it grows fast, and it makes a great keepsake.
Another thing is randomly cutting hobbit children's hair when it grows wild. All hobbits believe it's their responsibility to keep their youth looking sharp, and that's not possible when said youth have bird's nests on their heads.
It's accepted and expected of all Hobbit's to keep young one's groomed, even if they are not related. No matter where they are or what time it is.
So when Bilbo randomly sees a hobbit child with unkempt hair down to his back running in his garden, he takes him inside and gives him a proper trim.
And of course, the dwarves freak out. Why is this happening? What has the child done to be dishonored.
It takes a lot of explaining.
Even when, might i add, an opposing force is at bay (King Durin, Dragon Sickness)
does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
Bagginsheild headcanons because Iām obsessed again
- dwalin had to tell thorin to stop staring at Bilbo so intensely the way he was because to the average hobbit it look like he wanted Bilbo dead
- thorin was like but like itās a look of love and dwalin was like does Bilbo know that
- thorin passes all his courting ideas past dwalin
thorin: dyou think heād like to be awoken with my singing and harp
Dwalin: I genuinely think heād like to be awoken with a knife and screaming
- thorin audibly sniffs Bilbo when they hug
- it freaks out everyone else but Bilbo thinks itās endearing
- Bilbo loves thorins cooking even though itās inedible
- thorin had marriage beads and rings made the first night he knew he wanted Bilbo
- bilbo encourages kili and fili to do backflips off the throne much to thorins dismay
- thorin asked bombur for some help to make breakfast for Bilbo but realised after thorin smashed open 6 consecutive eggs beyond use that one morning could not be enough time to help him
- all dwarfs love bilbo because heās so different to other dwarfs but is nice and endearing
- this makes thorin only slightly jealous even though he knows bilbo would never even look at another dwarf twice
- thorin farts underneath a blanket and traps bilbo underneath it
- thorin is genuinely thrown off the first time bilbo gets him back
- thorin doesnāt take his jacket or crown off in his room because Bilbo always does and thorin loves when he does
- just gives him a reason to be close and kiss him
- this means that when Bilbo is mad at him he will just stare at him fully clothed still while bilbos already in bed
Bilbo: If you apologise I might think of taking off your crown and cloak
Thorin: I canāt imagine what I did wrong
Bilbo (who got blanket trapped in a fart in the morning): really!? Nothing rings out to you??!!? Nothing at all?????
Thorin: nope
Bilbo (not turned away from him and falling asleep): youāre right you didnāt do anything wrong
Merlin au where everything is the same except Igraine (Arthur's mom) is still alive. So magic is still illegal for some or other reason (I'm thinking someone tried to kill Arthur or Igraine and it just so happens that they were a sorcerer and Uther gets extra protective, Igraine doesn't like it but she understands it to a point). Anyway when she (Igraine)meets Merlin for the first time she looks at him a is just like I know who your daddy is.
Listen you cannot give me characters that are thematic opposites and not expect me to go absolutely feral over them
