#the hobbit Maria Mirabela AU

Question for the Hobbit fandom

You see, I'm writing a fanfic for The Hobbit, and it's an AU of a Soviet-Romanian movie, and I need help picking out the clothing for the frog.

BUT

I have a harder time picking out who the frog should be, so I've decided to ask y'all for help, because you people are the most skilled in meta and relationships, be it romantic or platonic.

I think that a poll might be the best way to settle this, so I've added one to this post, but before you scroll to tap one of the options, read the description of the frog so you can have an inkling of how the character should somewhat resemble (because, let's be serious, if Dwalin were to play a lively frog that sings and smiles all day, you'd cringe at the fanfic too)

So, here goes my rant :

Oaky, the frog, is very well-natured, almost childish at times, what with his almost constant singing and optimistic view of life (although that goes away quickly in situations that seem impossible). He's good friends with Light-spark(which I've decided is going to be Thorin), the firefly, with who he has such a close bond that the latter doesn't mind too much the fact that Oaky accidentally swallowed him whole, and settles on berating the frog for such a "barbaric" deed.

He's knowledgeable about a lot of things that happen in the place where he lives, and has a lot of friends almost everywhere, though he doesn't have a lot of close friends, though Light-spark is an exception as Oaky appointed himself as the firefly's right hand man in the attempt to woo Omide (who I've decided will be Bilbo, because I'm a sucker for Bagginshield).

He also thinks a bit low of himself and ends up in a pretty bad situation because of not acknowledging his worth.

...

So yeah, there's that....

Now it's up to you to pick the character from the Hobbit which will take this role! If you're up for it, you can also tell me what kind of clothing you see them wear.

ALSO, FYI, the reason I ask you to not pick Thranduil, Elrond, Gandalf, Legolas or Tauriel (for any reason) is because they will appear in the story later with other roles. Other than that, go wild on this post.

So I thought about an AU I made of The Hobbit based on a Romanian-Soviet movie from the '80....

This AU is based on the Romanian movie 'Maria Mirabela', in which is presented the adventure of a frog named Oaky, a firefly named Lightening and a caterpillar turned butterfly named Omide who, with the help of two sisters called Maria and Mirabela, go to the Fairy of the Forest, who placed a curse on Oaky and he remained stuck in the frozen water at the water spring where he met the Forest Fairy, in the hopes of removing the curse.

I've thought about this AU for a while, and I feel like it could go really well, it's just that...

I don't really know who to assign to who, as there are little characters to be given, and most of them wouldn't fit what I would want to write based on this AU, and I also have 2 OCs who I've thought about bein Maria and Mirabela, but I'm not entirely sure.

Long story short, I need help, and I'd welcome anywone who would want to help me or learn more about this movie as I find it fantastically gorgeous and I've cried several times watching it. I don't think it can be found anywhere save for YouTube, and the captions there are pretty trash, but I'd be so glad to help y'all, you don't understand.

The only thing I'm sure about is that I'll make minor Bagginshield out of this. And maybe fanart. And maybe a short movie based on the AU. Who knows.

AHAHAHAHA, THE BRAINROT IS REAL

I haven't drawn in WEEKS, and the first thing I draw today

Is for my Maria Mirabela AU.

And it looks like this :

The first two are Bilbo in his caterpillar stage and butterfly stage. I've tried to keep some stuff from the Hobbit book and movies the same about him, such as his clothing, but I think I'll work more on it. These are the first sketches.

The third one is Thorin. I know, pretty unflattering, I'm sorry. I thought I had enough space to draw his legs as well, but turns out I was wrong.

I'm sorry this is so short, but it's all I managed today, along with the last post, which is another rant about this AU, but I promise I'll try to do more once I figure out STUFF.

Thank you very much for your attention, see y'all next time on (most likely) another rant about this AU of movies that marked me for life, in the best way.

Some images I found of the movie. I already sketched some versions of Bilbo as Omide(the butterfly), because in the story, the caterpillars eat a lot of the tree leaves in the short time span that Maria and Mirabela see them, and the caterpillars also sing about how they like to eat.

Quoting the song:

"-The world laughs, why would it be laughing?

-'Cause we have a thousand legs!

-Let them laugh, I feel worse that

I don't have a thousand mouths!"

And another qoute:

"It is food,

It is good,

A, B, C, all vitamins,

This kind o' life we like,

To eat as we should!"

Now, Bilbo being Omide would mean that he is the prince of caterpillars, as in the movie, Omide's father is the chief, or thain, as we know hobbits call their leaders. But since we already know that Bilbo's parents are dead, I decided to put Old Took as chief of the caterpillars, especially since Omide's father is a bit with his head in the clouds, and from what I know from the Hobbit story, the Old Took is also a bit mad and old.

The thing is that if I make Bilbo Omide and if I want to do some Bagginshield in this AU, I'll have to make Thorin be the firefly, as in the movie, Omide and Lightening fall in love. It would serve the story, as Lightening is seen as a kind of teacher/leader of the fireflies, and at some point in the story, he catches on fire and Omide is so afraid that he will die, that she does the one thing she was afraid to do. Also, towards the end of the movie, Mirabela offers to make him a pair of shoes embedded with gemstones so he will shine like all the other fireflies. Oh, and Lightening is the first to fall in love between him and Omide, which can also be found in the Hobbit movies if you squint a little.

All in all, this is good so far, it's just that I don't know who would be Oaky, as he is the protagonist.

But I'll rant about him another time, I'm tired.

So I thought about an AU I made of The Hobbit based on a Romanian-Soviet movie from the '80....

This AU is based on the Romanian movie 'Maria Mirabela', in which is presented the adventure of a frog named Oaky, a firefly named Lightening and a caterpillar turned butterfly named Omide who, with the help of two sisters called Maria and Mirabela, go to the Fairy of the Forest, who placed a curse on Oaky and he remained stuck in the frozen water at the water spring where he met the Forest Fairy, in the hopes of removing the curse.
