    Summary

    A collection of my meta and speculation essays on "The Hobbit" film universe, Thorin Oakenshield/Bilbo Baggins as a pairing, and general thoughts about the written works of J.R.R. Tolkien and how they relate to the film universe of Peter Jackson.

    Essays rely on textual evidence from the films and the books, but should all be taken as my own headcanons written over *several* years, and are specifically geared towards understanding the films as works of art and literature. They should be read as the opinions of a fanfic writer trying to make sense of various plot holes and gaps in information, both for enjoyment and fanfic writing purposes.

But he makes some demands and one of them is for Bilbo Baggins to be tried for the theft of the Arkenstone, accordingly to the dwarvish law. Bilbo is taken into Erebor as prisoner and Thorin is going to learn that many things can still be stolen.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins isn't sure about this. Not one bit.

    Frodo is definitely too young to enter into an arranged marriage with a dwarven king called Thorin Oakenshield. It's a good thing that Bilbo is there to chaperone him through their courtship.

    After all, there's no chance that a fussy hobbit bachelor would ever catch the eye of a king.
