saw someone calling Bilbo not brave and like. I’m not particularly a Bilbo stan but I disagree.

You think a coward would have faced, and mocked, a dragon? You think a coward would have endangered his life to save his friends from a nest of giant spiders, while taunting the spiders? You think a coward would spend WEEKS hiding in the Elvenking’s halls instead of, idk, escaping, just for the hope of a chance to rescue his friends?

Do you think a coward would have spared Gollum?

Do you think a coward would have brought the Arkenstone to Bard and Thranduil? It takes a lot of guts to stand up to one’s friends.

#bilbo baggins #the hobbit #killing gollum would have been infinitely safer for him #but he pitied him and chose to endanger himself further by merely trying to escape from gollum #he was in abject peril the whole time he was in the elvenking's halls and he didnt need to be #he suffered anxiety and fear and hunger and the influence of the One Ring for WEEKS just to rescue Thorin and Co.
