how did women in 1817 read wentworth’s letter to anne and not immediately start running through the streets screaming
Did a little better today! I've lowered my word count goal from 25k to 20k, which might not sound like much, but it just felt more achievable to my weird little brain. I can always raise it again later as I expect the fic will be around 30k total in the end! My heart is a little sad right now, so I accidentally wrote everyone a bit more mournful than I meant to, BUT!! I wrote some funny, cutesy bits today as well, so I think that counteracted it! 💛
This is for @smoking-old-toby's Bagginshield Firefly Day mini event! 🤩For anybody who has read my fic The Twelve Transformations of Bilbo Baggins, you'll notice I poached a bit from the story (just because I loved that scene so much). Otherwise, please enjoy my small contribution of pre-slash Bagginshield. 🥰

A brief respite allows Thorin the time he needs to reflect, gazing upon Rivendell’s fireflies in hopes of clearing his head, which leads to ultimately expressing his childhood naivety and his woes of living as royalty to the most unlikely member of his company. The missing firefly scene from An Unexpected Journey.
I can’t believe this happened
“Someone very intelligent once told me that if one day I found a mind in the shape of a house, one of those that accept every little detail of the tangle that I am, that understands all the irregularities of my soul and makes me feel that I have found my place like I've never felt before. I should just forget about all the plans and live there forever.”

to put it simply, the right people will get you. you will not have to fight for breadcrumbs of love. you will not have to beg for attention. the right people will love you freely and easily, and will carve out space in their life for you. the right people will check up on you on your bad days & laugh with you on your good. you will find friends who embrace every part of you, and who will push you to grow. someday, any trace of those who hurt you will be filled with warmth from those who never will.

never let anyone convince you that your excitement isn't beautiful. what an incredible thing it is, to notice and be overcome by any bright spot in this too-dark world.
it doesn't matter what you're excited about, how small it seems to other people, your joy deserves to grow as big as it can. nurture it. help it grow strong so that when you are hurting your joy can lend you its strength.
#YES#so important!!#i know we've all been beaten down at one time or another for being#“too excited”#but im here to tell you#that is bullshit#we're not meant to survive on cynicism#all of the coolest people i know get passionate about the things they love#that's what makes them amazing#that's what makes us ALL amazing!#dont let the edgelords tell you othersie
happy bagginshield firefly day!!
i've finished the first chapter of bilbo the half-elven, that i'm officially naming "swap hearts, i want yours beating in my chest" (2.7k) - special thanks to my betas @kittyhawk717 and @ilovemosss <3
it wasn't going to have a bagginshield firefly scene, but i added it as my contribution. you can read the scene beneath the cut if you don't wanna read the whole chapter
It’s kinda cool how someone can just pop into your life all of a sudden and become so important to you within such a small amount of time. I think that’s what makes life so interesting though. There’s always a reason to be hopeful for the future because you never know what good things will come your way next.
Do you have a specific music that inspires you to write? Or you don't need it? 😶🌫️
Hello! Thank you, this is a lovely question!
I listen to a lot of music honestly, but nothing too specific. I really enjoy strong vocals, and I have a big love for singers like Lana Del Rey, Nina Simone, Kiki Rockwell, Hozier, Kate Bush, Paris Paloma, Marina Diamandis, Stevie Nicks, and Florence Welch 💛
That said, when I'm actually writing I get distracted suuuuuper easily, so to get my brain to focus I either have one song on repeat (for hours... DAYS sometimes!) or I listen to instrumental or lofi music (@lordoftherazzles sent me a brilliant playlist yesterday, so that got me through my silly writing-wobble!)
I do have a playlist for the Soldier, Poet, King series, but honestly I tend not to listen to it when I'm physically writing - more as inspiration when I have to go cosplay as a grownup in The Real World, haha!
It's not a great collection, but if you're interested you can find my Spotify here :)
Thank you so much for sending this, it was fun to talk about!
Bagginshield/Thilbo doobles I did at work :] yeah they’re important 2 me
may you find people who happily listen while you gush about your obscure interests. may you find people you feel comfortable and safe enough around to be your authentic self
very cheeky of hozier to write a song for bagginshield. i mean-
bagginshield coded.
