I was reading Chosen Horizons by @wolfsbane-and-nettles and just couldn't stop thinking about short haired Thorin. I had to draw a sweet and warm picture of them! Anyway please check out their work, they're absolutely amazing!

I watched Hobbit yesterday for the first time in 23 years of my life, and I've been sad about Thorin ALL DAY so I don't know about your canon, but everyone's alive in mine U-U

finally finished my take on @lorbalith's lovely dtiys challenge on ig. congratulations on over 7k now!! ♡

this was so fun ☆ doing the backlighting and the fur elements on their clothes had me vibrating in glee haha!

It has been said time and time again, and I will continue the topic and say it again myself; the representation of healthy masculinity within lotr is by far one of the best I have ever seen in any work of fiction. so many of the men within middle-earth show love to one another openly and without hesitant, they cry, they express grief, fear, and worry openly and without shame, they feel and show heavy emotions, they express their struggles openly and in a healthy manner, they admit defeat and express their wrongdoings, seeking to do better, they do not tell one another to "man up" or to hide their feelings, they embrace it and are open about it, many dress in ways that are highly elegant and pretty, many wear their hair long and flowing, adorned with glorious jewels and gorgeous braids, not once ever fearing if this somehow makes them less of a man for embracing these attributes, they kiss their loved ones, they embrace them within their arms whether it be in the form of a hug or a cuddle, they nurture and heal their injured, they fight for what they believe in and those that they love, all while remaining soft, albeit strong. their masculinity isn't fragile, demeaning, toxic, or aggressive; it is gentle, nurturing, protective, strong, caring, open, and vulnerable. This is what healthy masculinity is. This is what masculinity should be. These men do not fear or hate their gentleness, vulnerability, emotions, or affection; they fear and fight only what threatens to take away just that.

the rest of em didn't notice

had a bout of motivation but only for tolkien characters. 😶

Made as a thank you gift for my amazing supporter @luciaelena ❤ Thank you so much for remembering about me even when real life keeps me away from posting. Your donation is a huge help in this difficult time and I deeply appreciate it.

I’m afraid of spiders actually

Now, the fellowship was really a mix of people who were somehow coneccted to each other, like Aragorn and Legolas knew each other and Gandalf. The hobbits are family to each other (and do NOT get me started on Sam and Frodo bcs I will lose it) and Boromir also knew Gandalf.

But the best is Gimli looking at Frodo after his dad told him how he had to endure his king (relative) for MONTHS pinning over a hobbit who, by destiny, is the uncle of the same hobbit whom he has to protect

Just crazy af if you ask me

Finally old enough to be an extra this time

I'm just so purely happy drawing them 🥺🥺

I made a Hobbit inspired book sleeve 🌿🪡🍞 One of a kind, so much love and time was put into it. Available now 🧺
