ƬӇЄ ӇƠƁƁƖƬ MЄMЄƧ & ƓƖƑƧ
i was gonna do seabirds like in my post for the fellowship but i couldn’t think of enough seabirds so we have some regular birds in here too! also, apparently this is what i do now. i analyze and compare birds to fictional characters. and yes, i did write this in between finals today so i apologize if there are any errors, i just needed to cheer myself up.
Thorin is an eagle. it’s obvious. do i really need to explain? the majesticness, the skill... eagles are protective, fierce, they return to the same nests year after year, so they love their home. and they mate for life, which speaks to Thorin’s loyalty.
Bilbo is an american kestrel. they look pretty, and timid, but they can do serious damage if they want to. they usually return to the same nest every year, which fits with bilbo’s strong love of home. again- these are loyal birds, so lol out.
Fili is a golden eagle. because of the coloring, but also because of the way they’re seen. golden eagles tend to be seen as less cool than bald eagles, which i think fits with the whole fili/thorin/kili situation. but guys. golden eagles are cool. under appreciated, still majestic, and freaking awesome, fili is all those things.
Kili is a peregrine falcon. Smaller and more agile than the eagles, and also the fastest animal on the planet, which fits with the archer ✨aesthetic ✨. A very territorial bird, they hunt kinda like an archer or a sniper would, sighting from far away and then quickly diving down to get the prey, which i again feel works with the bow and arrow.
Thranduil is a crane. Like- the posing, the way they strut... it’s just obvious. they also can live a pretty long time (like 80 yrs in captivity i think) which is very elven. the species in this photo has the red patch on the head, which works both with thranduil’s crown and his general fashion sense.
Bard is a heron. kinda similar to a crane, still majestic, but different. They also hunt like archers, standing silently and patiently before swooping in/striking at their prey. They are determined animals, and very protective of their young, which works for him and his kids.
Nori is a crow. This is kinda obvious, due to the whole crafty and liking of shiny things. However, they are also fiercely loyal to their families, like he is to Dori and Ori. Crows also use tools which I think fits with Nori and his various trinkets, and the thing he uses to try and find where the keyhole to Erebor is.
Part 2 with more characters is coming soon! And here is the fellowship as seabirds if anyone wants to check that out.
How LOTR/Hobbit characters react to you fainting ~ drabbles
Fíli - Kíli - Bofur - Aragorn
Requested: no
Warnings: talk about fainting, collapsing, food, pregnancy, injuries etc, worried fictional characters, blatant ignorance of how bodies actually work - fainting only lasts a few seconds but for the sake of these stories it takes minutes and minutes and… you get the idea - not proofread because who has the time
Prompt: they get a message about you collapsing/fainting during their absence or you just drop to the floor like a sack of potatoes at a market sale when they’re with you, how do they react?
A/N: this is one of my guilty pleasures: tropes where reader is in distress and in need of a heroic rescue, strong arms to catch them or a worried character doting on them. This is a completely self indulgent post and I won’t take any criticism. Enjoy. I know I will.
FÍLI - A DOTING HUSBAND
Fíli was in the middle of a closed meeting when one of the guards came in and discreetly handed him a small note. Thorin raised one eyebrow in question, wanting to know what was going on and if perhaps his nephew had forgotten the meaning of a ‘closed meeting’, but Fíli didn’t give him the chance to ask out loud. As soon as he read the words written down by Oín, the screeching of his chair being pushed roughly over the wooden floor silenced everyone around the table and twelve pairs of eyes followed the Heir of Erebor as he bolted out of the room.
Oín was waiting for him outside the infirmary, which only added to Fíli’s already worried state of mind. ”What- How- Did she- is she-” he rattled through gasps of air, trying to open the door to see you but Oín stopped him. He assured Fíli you were going to be fine eventually, if you would finally listen to them and give your body the rest it needed like they had told you too many times before and yes… the baby was fine too.
Fíli released the breath he was holding, rubbing his face with his hands before he rested them on his hips and started laughing with relief. You were too stubborn for your own good sometimes, everyone had told you that you needed to take it easy and let others help you this far in your pregnancy, but you wouldn’t hear any of it. So today your body finally made the decision for you. While you were running the errands you could’ve easily left to your maids, you’d collapsed, frightening everyone around you.
You opened your eyes to see your doting husband at your bedside, your hand in his, his other hand softly wiping a few stray hairs out of your face, his thumb lingering on your cheek. A surge of panic went through you as you realized where you were. “The baby?” “Is going to be perfectly fine, ibrizinlekhê,” he reassured you, “if…” You rolled your eyes. “Let me guess, if I stay in bed all day and do nothing?” Fíli chuckled lightly. “It would make me worry a lot less about the two of you.”
(Kíli, Bofur and Aragorn under the read more cut)
This is so good! I couldn't help but either go 'Aww!' or giggle. 🥰
Brothers to the last hope.
Fíli and Kíli

Completion THREE SETs of DURINS! Thank you for sending me messages! I’m happy to read.
The Line of Durin
Whenever I think of Glorfindel being friends with modern reader I just think of him being like such a girly pop friend.
Loves the slang, will gossip with you, does your hair and is just one of the girls.
*****
Lindir: “It’s so sad, they truly loved each other and he cheated on her”
Reader: “Let’s run him over with a horse!”
Glorfindel: “No! That might hurt the horse! Let’s just punch him!”
Sorry I just love himbo Glorfindel who loves everyone 😂😂
Also you know he’s the only elf who the dwarves like and they love him
*****
Glorfindel: “Do you need a boost breaking into the kitchens, master dwarf?”
Fili: “Not from an elf!”
Glorfindel: “Okay I was gonna tell you where the sweets are but whatever”
Kili: “No wait!”
*****
Also that whole thing of Kili thinking elves are cute and getting confused by gender.
*****
Kili: “She’s so beautiful”
Glorfindel: “Thanks, babes” *winks*
