Things I’ll Not Call You A Whore For:

The first page of The Hobbit in the style of a 16th century medieval illuminated manuscript.

This started as a comfort drawing while I rewatched all the Hobbit films and ended up being a full on artwork that took a long time...

Hey yall I mentioned earlier that my dog needs dental surgery and I'm having trouble affording it so I set up a gofundme for help. Sharing is greatly appreciated. I am not good at this, so if you need more information please ask and I will answer as best I can

I've talked to the vet a few times over the years about how I'm concerned for his dental health, and they said just keep doing what I was doing. But last month we found two of his teeth on the ground and it turns out he has severe periodontal disease that I probably never would have gotten ahead of. They said he needs a deep clean and at least half his teeth extracted, but that he should feel better and have a normal and improved quality of life after.

Thank you for listening <3

I don't know if this was obvious to everyone else, but I just realised that one of the reasons why the Hobbit is so effective as a children's book is that while Bilbo is an adult, the skills that make him a hero are all those of a child.

By human standards he's child-sized, which makes him unobtrusive and light on his feet. He can slip by unnoticed where bigger people can't.

He's good at playing games, and even cheats (successfully!) in a way that - let's face it - is not so different to how children try to cheat at games. He's polite in a way that's fully comprehensible to children (rather than, say, being able to perform courtly manners). He's quick-witted, but the trick of keeping the trolls talking is also one that would be achievable for a child.

He doesn't have magic powers, he's not a great fighter, and he's not some kind of Chosen One. There's not much that he does that couldn't be done by a ten-year-old, but the story shows just how valuable all those skills and traits are. It's very empowering.
