Happy Holidays ❄️ @thorinds ♥
From my grandfather to my father, this has come to me. They dreamt of the day when the Dwarves of Erebor would reclaim their homeland.
There is no choice. Not for me.
The Hobbit | The Battle of the Five Armies Appendices
↳ Thorin
I watched The Hobbit yesterday! And I managed to fall in love with a dwarf, oh my gosh. :’D
Hold your ground!
Majestic Thorin [4/♥]
“And I thought to myself then, there is one who I could follow. There is one I could call K i n g.“
Tolkien says that Thorin, who was 52 then – a young age for a Dwarf - had led his powerful warrior army during the Battle of Azanulbizar. When Thorin’s shield was destroyed, he used an oak branch to protect himself. That’s how his nickname Oakenshield was born. Thereafter, Thorin kept that piece of wood as a shield and carved it; and this piece of branch became a symbol of pride and honour.
A sickness lies on that treasure, a sickness that drove your grandfather mad!
Do not speak to me as if I were some lowly dwarf.. as if I were still Thorin Oakenshield. I AM YOUR KING
