“You spoke to me of honor, honor to me means something deep and profound. It is the pursuit of what is right when circumstances are against you. It is the doing of what is good and noble when the world conspires to prevent you from it, and in that sense I have never lived an honorable day. Every service I have done has been the path of least resistance. Every suffering of mine has been because I feared and feared greatly: to disappoint, to earn scorn. Each day I have been a coward. And seeing you in this Bloom, I have seen true bravery, without which there can be no honor.

“So, if you would let me, act with honor for the first time in my life, I would ask you for your hand, and for a kiss.

“You are beautiful beyond words, braver than the morning sun which dispels the night. There is one injury of yours that must be amended. You said that you felt alone. Never here. Not while I draw breath. I renounce the Goblin Court in its entirely and foreswear all oaths of loyalty to king and kin. If you are orphaned, then so am I, and you will never know a lonely day again, as long as I draw breath. 

1. Always have someone hanging out with you! Especially if the role you gave them matches what you're currently doing (crop role when you're harvesting can get you double the crops!) But either way doing literally anything gives you friendship pts with them!

2. Do NOT convert dream shards. This one is kind of everywhere but it's too true lol so save them bitches

3. Get remy's restaurant asap! it unlocks butter, milk, etc which allows you to make soufflés which you can sell for a shit ton of coins

4. ALSO upgrade your house (exterior sign NOT the interior elevator) asap as it's the only way to increase the storage in your OG house chest!

5. Canola is the best crop to make a profit. It's $25 per seed bag but sells for $100+ per crop and only takes 30 min to grow! Grow it in its native zone forest of valor to grow it even faster too

"Oh my god, you are so weird."

Therefore I posit: having a missing person declared dead in the Shire requires the consent of their next of kin. Whoever Bilbo’s next of kin was at the time of the Hobbit (possibly Otho? I’m not sure) had him declared dead at the first opportunity but Frodo refused to ever do it.

Frodo had anxious hobbit bureaucrats knocking on his door every couple of years like ‘Mr Baggins… blease… it’s been 10 years… he was eleventy-one… can we fill out his death certificate yet’ and Frodo was like ‘absolutely not’.

After all, last time they declared Bilbo Baggins dead— which involved filling out all the paperwork necessary to declare somebody dead without a body— he had the rudeness to show up again, forcing them to do a lot more paperwork, and this time with an indignant Bilbo having a go at them while they did it.

As a result, the magistrates have decided that they’re not going to declare Bilbo Baggins dead a second time unless they have a body, a coroners reprt explaining the cause of death, and a three day wake to make sure that he doesn’t get up and walk away again.
