regarding thorin’s birthday, what i thought would be funny is if thorin’s birthday fell on some date in late autumn/early winter in standard middle-earth reckoning, but in shire reckoning, it fell on september 22nd, the same day as bilbo and frodo
that opens up a world of possibilities, especially in domestic shire AUs, because wee little frodo would freak out about this, he’d be like BOTH MY UNCLES HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS ME THIS IS GREAT (barrels into the master bedroom) WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE IT’S MY BIRTHDAY and thorin would pop his head above the duvet looking muzzy and he’d be like (frowns, fakes confusion) “i thought it was my birthday?” and bilbo’s like (mumbles sleepily, eyes still closed) “no no i’m pretty sure it’s my birthday” and frodo’s like UGHHHHHHH UNCLE THORIN UNCLE BILBO STOP CACKLING THIS STOPPED BEING FUNNY LIKE FOUR YEARS AGO I’M NINE YEARS OLD I’M TOO OLD FOR THIS and thorin’s like “ah my apologies akhûnith yes i agree you’re far too old for such nonsense, so i wager you’re too old for birthday cake as well” and frodo’s like (severely) “…no uncle thorin i know you’re new here but that’s not how this works” and bilbo’s busy trying to muffle his hysterical giggling into the pillows
this was just an excuse to write thorin and frodo interactions, i am trash, forgive me, goodbye
Oh no this is was too cute I had to draw something sorry - shire AU and interactions with young Frodo are my weaknesses
