#( hobbit and food get wordy! )

By the time Bilbo Baggins had reached his front door, still marked with the rune Gandalf had banged into it such a long time before, word had already spread over hill and down towards the river.

Not only had he returned to the Shire, but he'd brought someone back with him.

Honestly, Hazel thought as she carefully wrapped a generous parcel of scones and added them to her basket, you'd think he'd brought back a very small dragon, or some kind of goblin, the way people carried on!

A small sachet of tea, some meat pies, a wedge of cheese, a loaf of bread, some clotted cream and a bit of jam for the scones, some generous slices of honey cake... Hazel paused and eyed the basket, it hardly seemed enough for a hobbit that had been away from home for such a long time.

Adding some eggs, cold chicken, a pat of butter, and a jar of her mother's pickles, Hazel lifted the basket and started out towards the Baggins' burrow.

"Don't forget this!" He father called after her, handing her a bottle of cider, "And be careful, who knows what sort of folk has followed Bilbo back from his... adventure." Like any good Hobbit, her father said the word like it had personally offended him (Hazel thought an adventure sounded fascinating, but then, she'd always taken after the Took side of the family!)

Gathering up her things, Hazel started up the hill once again, the late afternoon sun sinking towards the horizon and painting the Shire in gold and warm, burnt orange. Even laden with the heavy basket there was a skip in her step, an excitement to see her cousin, and hear all about his travels.

"Hello! Welcome home!" She called as she made her way to the gate, smiling over to her cousin and his guest, who had his back to her, "I've come with a few little things to tide you over for the evening-- oh--" Hazel reached for the gate, and realized her hands were too full, "Would you mind? I'm a little short of hands!"

Rules: tag 10 of your followers you want to get to know better.

Name: I’m too paranoid to actually put my name on the internet, especially since I’ve already put my (small) university on here Nicknames: Q. {let’s be real, I don’t have nicknames irl & I just make up crap online. But I’m sticking with Q from here on out bc it’s relevant to my real name & it’s an awesome letter. Also puns. I have usernames in games from The Qniverse to Qneiform & I love them all. also John de Lancie :) } Gender: ??? Probably genderfluid or something idk I’m too busy for the kind of self-reflection I’d need to figure it out. All pronouns are acceptable but most people go with female. I aim for androgyny in appearance, though, if that matters Star sign: Libra Height: 5′3″ Sexuality: Ace/Pan (although I often use the Ace/Bi flag bc I like purple more than yellow tbh & I know some people don’t really distinguish between the two) Hogwarts house: Slytherin-just-kidding-Ravenclaw (for HPMOR fans). Seriously though, I’m cunning & manipulative but I manipulate with the end goal of knowledge, so... Ravenclaw Favorite animal: Tie between all corvids & otters Average hours of sleep: I aim for 8 hours a night, but I can range from 3 - 13 Current time: 12:44 PM (bc UP is EST I guess?) Dog or cat person: Definitely cats. Blankets you sleep with: Really soft/heavy blue one, red one with a tan scroll pattern that I got at a christmas party, black comforter, and a really soft & fluffy Hobbit themed one Dream trip: Everywhere. But if I had to pick & it had to be a real, modern location... Norway. I want to live there tbh. I’d go see the fjords, tour historical Viking sites, & stock up on good European foods like ligonberries, butter cookies, hazelnut ice cream, and mulberry juice Dream job: Viking Archaeologist When I made my blog: I don’t remember actually. I had a different blog about 4-5 years ago, but then I made this one about half a year after that bc I was embarrassed about shipping as a 15 year old kid but now I’m just like this. I ran a cringey spn blog for a year+, then it became a cringey aph blog, and now it’s mostly a gotham blog (since March, when I found the show via HMB & youtube) Followers: 227 (what I get for being multifandom and political lol) Why I made a tumblr: Initially because it looked fun (I knew somebody on here who did cosplay tutorials) and then this specific tumblr bc I wanted to ship without having to admit to my friends that I can be fucking sappy. But I don’t care anymore they all know Reason for my URL: I love this question bc I literally don’t have a reason. It seems poetic or something but I literally just sat down & was like ‘I need a url’ and this popped into my head. I think the beginning may have been inspired by the Ballad of Serenity, but since it’s not fandom-specific I don’t have to change if/when I change fandoms

(Holy fuck am I a wordy person)

Alright, so I don’t have a ton of followers & I don’t even know who is active, so... I’m just gonna tag people I’ve talked with on here before (and some I know irl but whatever). Don’t feel like you have to do it if you don’t want to/don’t have the time!

I tag @balestrazzi @papinygma @freckledandspectacled @riverance @elisethewritingbeast @rose-miilk @anoasisinawasteland @mizuroseking @nerdierthannecessary (I say, pretending the two of us aren’t telepathically communicating across the country as I type), and literally anyone else who wants to - just because we haven’t talked doesn’t mean I don’t care, I’m just always nervous about irritating people. And if we haven’t spoken before, you should always feel free to message me, just please be polite!
