The Company but they're dressed up for Halloween

Pt 1 / Pt 2

[pilkypills]

Thorin is, for all intents and purposes, Fili and Kili’s dad. And while I looooove the two of them teasing Thorin for his crush on Bilbo as much as the next guy on god I would like to see more portrayals of them being mildly horrified at the thought of Thorin kissing someone, in the same way that lots of kids don’t like to picture their parents in romantic situations.

thorin is feeling so normal, good for him

Fíli and Kíli

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

[chmarzity]

Art has been slow but have some Durin family because I never stop thinking about Thorin being the best uncle/father figure to his nephews in Ered Luin

Inspired by that post about Thranduil being all defensive/protective over Gimli in Valinor:

We all know the head canon of Thorin being all "no nephew of mine even associates with an elf" BUT

Just imagine, in a world where all three Durins survived, and Tauriel saved Kili (again), and some other elf healed his and Fìli's wounds last minute.

Thorin saw both his nephews almost die before him, has LIVED through how the gold sickness twists the mind and perception of things, and after coming to terms with Bilbo's theft of the Arkenstone, he for a while questions EVERYTHING.

And yes, he totally has a dramatic phase of self pity, holing up in his rooms, drinking Elvish wine (cus thats all there is atm) and smoking Gandalf's pipeweed, and mourning how "everything i knew is a LIE" and "if elves can make such amazing wine there HAS to be some good in them" and "I almost got my boys killed I am such a failure boooohoooo", and after Bilbo kicks his ass out if depression (and a STRONG worded letter from his sister) he is like "okay FUCK y'all I have TRAUMA TM and will do WHATEVER I WANT!!"

So when Kili all shyly comes forward one day asking if Tauriel can please stay with them in the mountain because she's banished from the Woodland Realm he's all "OF COURSE she can stay, you do you my precious boy, if Thranduil is stupid enough to let such a great warrior go we'll stick it to him"

and BAM, Tauriel joins Dwalin in leading Erebor's guard, and Dwalin is torn between "excuse ME u want me to share my job with a pointy eared maiden?" And "holy hell that lass has fire can't show how impressed I am".

And Tauriel Takes No Shit even from her own boyfriend, so Kìli is forced to take his new responsibilities seriously because "I did NOT lose my home to live with a CHILD, Kili", and Fili gets dragged into the whole thing without really understanding what happened, but hey, his lil brother is happy so who cares really.

And whenever someone at council (like Dain) complains about an Elf in the mountain, Thorin goes absolutely FERAL like "are you saying I don't know what's best for this mountain I just won from A DRAGON?! are you suggesting that my perfect baby nephew has bad taste? Huh? Exactly, didn't think so!!!!" And is a protective Papa bear "listen Tauriel if someone gives you shit you SHOOT them. No, not killing them, but, you know, just maim them a little to make a point. Trust me I'm the king."

And once Kili and Tauriel have their first child Thorin constantly kidnaps the kid and has them in the forge before they can even talk because "need to keep up that good old dwarven influence".

Anyway I'll go cry myself to sleep now.

Dís, talking to Bilbo: You see, on their own they can be tolerable, rational even.

Dís: *gesturing at the company in general* Collectively, however, they have the intelligence of a sack of bricks.

The Little Princes of Erebor (I also wrote a fic with this!)

Kili’s micro-expressions during the “We are sons of Durin” scene are SO. AUGH. MY GOD. The unsure look in his eyes. The lip wobble. The scrunch in his nose when Thorin gently headbutts him. My god he was just a kid. Just a boy who wanted to do the right thing.

[basil--and--sage]

Fíli is the kind of person, who when woken up by a crash at 3 AM and coming upon a raccoon, that fell through the ceiling and is actively rampaging his apartment, will softly sigh "aww man", before putting on a bike helmet and oven mitts and getting a broom to gently herd it out of the door, while Kíli goes apeshit in the background and stands on a chair and shrieks.

[brethilach]

in The Hobbit book Fíli is described as the younger brother of Kíli but in the Appendices of Lord of the Rings Fíli is clearly stated as being older than Kíli by five years. this could easily just be chalked up as a mistake (or even an indication that Thorin himself mixed their ages up for whatever reason, as he's the one who made that statement in the book), but because of jirt's decision to retcon all of the major contradictions between the The Hobbit and LOTR by simply establishing Bilbo as an Unreliable Narrator(TM), this heavily implies that Bilbo just... forgot which one of them was older

Whether it's due to his failing memory with age or the Ring wearing down his mind (or both), I think this is highly likely because Bilbo himself admits (through the third-person narration in The Hobbit) that his memory was fallible even prior to the Quest: he forgets that he invited Gandalf over for tea the day prior to the Unexpected Party, he forgets multiple important items when he leaves his house (including money!) and Gandalf arrives afterward with most of his belongings he needed for the journey (apparently because this is a predictable enough behavior from Bilbo that Gandalf knew he'd forget them), and the narration itself states that Bilbo needed to write down important events as to not forget them ("like this: Gandalf Tea Wednesday"). This is one of the very first things we learn about him! (like, literally within the first few pages)

What else did Bilbo forget? How much of Bilbo's unreliability in The Hobbit stems from his bending of the truth or influence of the Ring, and how much of it is simply just... His mind failing him?
