bilbo baggins appreciation post

bilbo baggins:

• good mornings a wizard and then immediately implies he should be dead
• can’t make it through a meeting he doesn’t even want to be at without chiming in with his opinion
• plans to walk to erebor
• tells elrond lord of rivendell that he’s full of shit to his face 
• avoids bad situations by just falling to the floor
• tells a weird and scary creature that lives in the dark and just killed an orc with a rock and is clearly contemplating eating him his full name and address when asked 
• dramatic reveals™
• tackles an orc – very poor to entirely useless sense of self preservation
• can’t stop himself from twanging what it very obviously a ginormous spider web – bagginses obviously unfamiliar with arachnids as a species generally i guess 
• remembers instructions well even if he can’t get others to follow them 
• steals dwarves 
• asks strangers for their names 
• makes thorin oakenshield nearly cry in front of the whole town while he’s trying to be majestic 
• keen eyes
• has no idea what he came all this way to steal
• will do whatever it takes to save his dwarves 
• look i can’t even joke about this. he loves thorin so much. he fears for him but is never afraid of him. he goes back to thorin’s side again and again and again, even when it might be dangerous. he loves thorin so much and he’ll do whatever it takes. 
• including telling a wizard to his face to fuck off and charging head on into an ambush
• “i know you must honor him in that way, but to me he was never that. he was…he was…” 
• bilbo baggins, luck wearer, barrel rider, ring winner, he who walks unseen
