My question to Ken Stott at Hobbitcon (yeah it’s the Bagginshield one)

So, for those who weren’t there, and wanted to know the context of Ken’s quote, here’s what happened:

Me: Hi, I have a question for Ken. In the end of “The Battle of Five Armies” when Bilbo is about to leave Erebor, he says goodbye to Balin and Balin tells him that “Thorin Oakenshield will become a legend”. And Bilbo says “To me, he never was. He was…” and then Bilbo doesn’t quite finish his sentece and doesn’t say what Thorin was to him, but Balin gives him this this look, as if he knew what Bilbo was about to say. I was wondering, what was going through Balin’s mind in that moment?

Ken: Well… Balin knew what Thorin felt for Bilbo.

*audience cheers*

Ken: And I think he wanted to let Bilbo know… that Thorin held him in such high regard… That’s what I think he was doing.

so what ken stott’s saying is that when bilbo tries to explain what thorin was to him in this scene:

balin gives him this look that in fact means ‘thorin felt the same way about you’:

SO YOU’RE TELLING ME BILBO REALIZES AT THIS MOMENT THAT HIS FEELINGS WERE RECIPROCATED?? WHEN THIS IS TOO LATE????

And when Ken said that, beside him, Graham was looking at the left side of the audience after he heard someone squealed and he made a knowing look of a smirk. It was either he was amused, or he also agreed with what Ken had said. Oops I choose the latter. I think this cast is out there to kill us with this pain

Picture this: Bilbo and Thorin´s wedding dance

linddzz:

I am stuck between the following:

It’s not a dance so much as a tranced sway. Their arms around each other and foreheads pressed together, the crown and diadem of the King and Consort laid on a table. They’re barely aware of the music, of the celebration, and they can only smile and move together and breath in the mutual amazement that after everything, after all between them, they’re here.

or

Thorin and Bilbo are both FUCKING DRUNK because ITS THEIR PARTY THEYRE MARRIED AINT NO ONE GONNA SAY SHIT ABOUT IT and are kind of being ridiculous disasters then the music crescendo’s and Thorin grabs Bilbo’s waist and gets this manic gleam in his eye and Bilbo is like. NO. NO DON’T YOU DARE. THORIN. DON’T YOU DA R E. and Thorin cackles and swoops Bilbo up and Bilbo SHRIEKS and kicks automatically and it ends badly bc he accidentally kicks Thorin in the head and Thorin drops him

First dance of the evening | Last dance of the evening
