#add dís to it and it would be bliss

[basil--and--sage]

I'm writing a fic about Fíli's and Kíli's childhood and at least 75% of it is them just getting cuddled by Thorin.

Man, I wish we had more uncle nephew quality time in the movies.

give me some caring and affectionate uncle Thorin right now

what r ur fav pairings for the hobbit?? platonic and romantic

Ooof, this is such a difficult question! I like sooo many ships, it's not even funny anymore. And even more platonic relationships 🙈

Underneath the cut waits a long (and probably incomplete) list, lmao.

Platonic relationships:

Fíli & Kíli (absolute fave, add uncle Thorin for even more bliss, and Gimli for shenanigans)

Fíli & Kíli and all the older cousins in general: Glóin and Óin, Balin and especially Dwalin. Dwalin is such an uncle. And Dáin (they probably call him uncle Piggy)

Thorin & Dís (they bicker all the time)

Óin & Bifur as a queerplatonic couple (they are too cute together)

Thorin & Dwalin (BFFs)

And so many more. I like everybody in every combination in the company, lol.

Romantic relationships:

Even more difficult!

Thorin / Dwalin (feel free to add Bofur and/or Nori and/or Bilbo)

Kíli / Tauriel

Dwalin / Nori / Bofur (poly or any combination)

Bofur / Bilbo

Dís / her spouse

I really like to headcanon Fíli as aroace, but there are so many good shipping fics with him. Recently, I read a really nice fic with Fíli and an older Sigrid (she's so young during the last movie), or with Bofur (which works a lot better than I would have expected), or some OCs, or even with Dáin's son Thorin III Stonehelm.

As you can see, I like a whole lot of ships and as long as it is well-written I enjoy most of them, except for incest and a handful of other ones.

Thanks for the ask!
