I put more work into this than anyone in their right mind would, and I blame/credit the good folks at @rangedtouch.bsky.social for putting the thought into my head.

A closeup of Bilbo’s face as the Bag End doorbell rings loudly. View from the front door of Bag End, two dwarves are standing on the stoop announcing themselves “Bifur and Bofur, at your service master hobbit”. Medium closeup of a perplexed Bilbo, his thoughts so scattered all he can stammer out is “Bofur??” Bofur responds “Yes, Mr Baggins…” Bofur doing a crotch chop yelling “BOFUR DEEZ NUTS”

Frodo you GOT to get me an invite to Bilbo's eleventy first birthday party. C'mon!!!
You can say what you like, Gaffer, but Bag End's a queer place, and its folks are queerer.

I will never forgive the Hobbit trilogy for being THREE MOVIES and STILL ignoring the best of Bilbo’s riddles;

“Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.”

Chapter 2 is also an exposition dump! The dramatic tension comes from Frodo realizing the true nature of Bilbo's gift, and Sam's eavesdropping, but much of the page length is just Gandalf getting the reader up to speed too. Double duty once again!

you keep saying stuff that invokes random OC I've made 😂 I specifically made this about people who defend AI
Bilbo's "after all why not" scene where he looks down at the One Ring and contemplates keeping it, except in the second panel it says "why shouldn't I just fucking bully them"

There's at least a year, I'd think. Bilbo's opening narration puts the Party on September 22, 1400 SR, Gandalf says it's October 24 ???? to Frodo in Rivendell, and I don't think Gandalf got to Minas Tirith, found the ringlore, and then got locked up in Isengard, in so short a time.

Film definitely omits the 18 years. It seems to suggest only a couple weeks between Bilbo’s birthday and Frodo’s departure.

Before she became Bilbo's mother, Belladonna Took was a friend of Gandalf's and had been known to go on adventures herself.
It's a shame that Tolkien never wrote about her. I always wondered about her story.

A female hobbit with a flower garland in her dark, wavy hair stands by her front door, smoking a pipe. She smiles at her visitor- the shadow of Gandalf is cast upon her door.

Image of an older Bilbo Baggins from The Lord of the Rings, looking down at a smartphone. The smartphone screen, showing him chatting with ChatGPT: Bilbo’s text: After all, why not? Why shouldn't l keep it? ChatGPT’s response: You're absolutely right - you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Bilbo is making himself useful by delivering dinner to a busy Elrond.

For those keeping track this is Draft 1.
Then the song faltered, the voices in the free air stumbling hesitant to a stop, those still in the kitchens foundering in dismay and falling to murmurs. Peering out, he could just make out elves gathering into knots, looking up. Above, the stars seemed bright and friendly as ever, but to the east and south there was a darkness creeping silently across the sky, devouring light as it came. It seemed too straight of edge and dark of purpose for any storm cloud, and Bilbo had never seen a storm come over the mountains from that direction. There was a shout of fear from below. Elrond stared up also, a growing wrath on his face such as Bilbo had never seen or suspected. Something in Bilbo’s sight shifted, and a light seemed to grow within Elrond, or in place of him, a white fire of great ferocity and wrath, and in the upraised hand it seemed the star Helluin had come to rest. Bilbo stepped back as if from heat, then thought to place his burden on a table to protect it from the tremor in his hands. The silence of Rivendell seemed a terrible thing.

Is it odd that I've never thought of Bilbo as a queen before?

Both Az and Bilbo's activities are pretty much the same. Disappearing magic act, makes tea, cuddles into chair at home, helps the locals, lives alone when Frodo/Crowley isn't around.

It’s like the hobbit, compared with Lord of the Rings.

They’re both good, but lord of the rings is epic and the hobbit was Bilbo’s story.

I can't believe I've never heard of this before today. tolkiengateway.net/wiki/John_Bo...
John Boorman's The Lord of the Rings was planned to run as one long movie with an intermission. The first half of the script was largely based on The Fellowship of the Ring, but many things were changed and added. Following the intermission, writers Boorman and Pallenberg "dropped things out" and "invented as they went along". The story makes many departures from the novel, such as the trip to Rivendell is framed as a drunken vacation spurred on by Gandalf (who has just finished telling Frodo to put on the ring only if he really needs to) after the appearance of the Ring Wraiths in the Shire during Bilbo's farewell party. Their journey to Imladris is further enhanced by an obese Merry's jolly belching and a scene in which Frodo eludes being captured by two farmers by performing acrobatics and using the ring to disappear, all while taunting them with poetry. The story includes other unfamiliar events, such as when Frodo and Galadriel have sex near the Mirror of Galadriel. However, the Hobbit can hardly be blamed for succumbing to her seduction, as when the Fellowship first lay eyes on her, Legolas breaks into a bird-like dance while singing of her beauty and Boromir throws back his cloak to reveal his muscles. Later on the Fellowship goes on to beat up Gimli (also known as Lord of the Axe) outside of Moria, and Aragorn dual-wields both shards of Narsil, with the hilt-less half having a makeshift leather handle. Other additions include leather-clad beekeepers weaponizing bees at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, Aragorn killing Denethor, Frodo and Sam being burrowed through the walls of Mordor by a helpful tree, and Frodo being hailed as the "Lord of the Ring" after the One Ring is destroyed.

Hab den Podcast "Bilbo's Butze" gehört. Da haben auch 2 das Buch gelesen und kommentiert. Auch Vergleiche zu den Filmen wurden gezogen. Da hab ich erst erfahren wie viel länger das Buch ist. Aber ist ja normal, wenn man nur 2h Film hat, das vieles gekürzt und umgeschrieben wird für Verständnis.

Call of the Ring and Lord Skitters Blessing are often overlooked extra copies of Phyrexian Arena.

Greed, The Last Ride, Endless Atlas all repeatable draw engines

Bilbo's Ring great in a 1-creature deck.

The Fellowship of the Ring Re-Read: I'm convinced that the success of the films has, at its foundation, nailing Bilbo’s party and departure with all of the dialogue recited basically verbatim. Its an incredible feat of tone.
