#oakshipping

Pokémon fans —anime, game, manga alike— what are thoughts on a writing event with the letters of the alphabet?

For a quick rundown, 26 letters of the alphabet would be up for grabs — pick a letter, a prompt, a ship of your choosing, and write a fic for that corresponding letter. ie; I is for Impenetrable (quick self plug for a fic I did for a project just like this one for a different fandom), R is for Resolution, C is for Contest, etc.

How abouttt Elarië x Thorin? (And you can add Bilbo, too, if you can manage it! That’s probably a lot of characters for five sentences, though 😅)

And your prompt isssssss… Wish!

Warning. Angst >:3

The world felt silence once more, a calm sort of silence mixed with a lingering mourning and the relief of hard fought victory. The funeral was over and many were on their seperate ways but final goodbyes had yet to be said, despite words being a fleeting thing in the midst of emotion. Bilbo and Elarie could only think of thorin's last wish for them and how they would honour it going forward with their lives after the loss. Accompanied by the wizard on the journey home the half elf promised the hobbit they would keep in touch by writing one another over the years to come before she too parted ways for a final time. Elarie had much to attend in a new chapter of her life in order to follow through with thorin's wish for her to choose her elven half of heritage and live long.

all my inktobers compiled together. I made it a challenge for myself to draw a ship that I liked but didn’t draw enough of/in a while.

ended up tagging all the ships but heres the list of prompts/ships 

For the month of love ask game, how about First Glass for Elarië and Thorin, Bouquet for Spectren and Sonar, and Praline for Spectren and Robert? :)

first glass — how did you two first meet, and what was the dynamic like? feel free to chat about whichever AU/verse you prefer (if any)!

They first met after the dwarves got in the barrels and fled mirkwood

It was a "you need help idiot" "no I dont go home" dynamic at the start

bouquet — how did your first date go? was it casual and chill, or was it more of an elaborate one? who asked who out?

Sonar asked spectren to dinner, sonar thinks it went well (minus not getting laid) cuz they listened to everything he said but that's where things went wrong cuz they listened to everything he said 0-0. Spectren went home confused and misinformed on some things and poor Valentine had to set some things straight and answer way too many questions instead if sleeping /hj /silly

praline — do you and your f/o share similar love languages or are they entirely different? how does the similarity/difference manifest in your relationship dynamic?

Robert expresses through touch and words, spectren is still learning but follows examples and will make an effort to show him love the same way he shows them. Though it ends up being more failed attempts at touch and weird phrases that sound like they might be compliments? Spectren is actually better at expressing by being a presence and spending time. Robert gets to have a ghost hang around and say things that would make phanomaman seem like a normal person. /silly

Still working on my Palletshipping longfic, Not Worried. I've been saying for months that I'm gonna post it soon but I actually mean it this time! I finally wrapped up chapter 5 and now I just need to do a final edit of it. Once that's done, I'll post the first chapter and figure out a posting schedule for the first few chapters. That'll probably be early next week (because I'm going camping this weekend!).

In the mean time, today's snippet comes from an Oakshipping drabble I started this afternoon, inspired by my time nature journaling this summer. I don't know where exactly I'm going with it but the world could always use some more Oakshipping fluff! Enjoy!

I've been slowly continuing to work on my newest Oakshipping longfic wip, No Excuses, this week. I've been mostly plotting and drafting scenes, so no snippets to share from that one today! Instead I'm sharing a little bit from a new Oakshipping wip that I got some inspiration for this weekend. It'll end up being another Oakshipping smut - I know we need more fluffy Oakshipping fics, but you just gotta go where the inspiration takes you! And it happens to be smut in this case.

Enjoy a very sfw snippet!

I love hearing more about other people’s f/o’s, it just makes me happy, especially when it’s for a character from a franchise I adore, I watched the LoTR and The Hobbit not that long ago and I loved it, I even picked up my own F/O from them! (It’s one of the hobbits! x3) I’m just a little nervous to just start posting about it all openly, so using anon feels like a nice place to start getting to know the community! And honestly it’s nice finding someone with a common interest who also enjoys self shipping.

I hope you have a lovely day, thank you for your time!

OMG MORE OTR SHIPPERS YES WE NEED TO GROW!!! /vpos

So thorin and I are married, at least that's how I see it and have seen it for years, I always call him my husband

I cant say for how long precisely we have been married as I have seen other selfshippers do with their f/os, maybe 5+ years?

Weve (system) only publicly been a selfshipper online as long as this blog has existed (dated by pinned post) but I have been lurking in the selfshipper community online for over a decade now (maybe 1 1/2?) And going between platforms in that time as a whole the community is generally very welcoming and nearly every platform will have some sort of content for just about everyone

A03, wattpad, quotev, tumblr, you're guaranteed to find something you like somewhere

And if you don't? I'm here to help if I can, i love making gifts and exchanging content so I'm always open to requests if anyone has an f/o they cant find content for (i have a thing for free fanart and i have commissions open but my writing is always free)

I'm always happy to have mutuals too

So if you ever have questions or need anything I got ya bud !

Waaa soft kisses <33

Why not both?

Finally having taken back their home from the dragon, the dwarves were now facing potential war with both lake town and the Mirkwood elves. They went about the front rooms and halls in the mountain, picking up the weapons and armour of their lost kin to prepare for the battle they might face the next day.

Thorin found a few pieces among the hoard of treasure that he thought perfect to share with a couple of his companions for such preparation.

Finding the Hobbit was thankfully easy that night, Thorin gifted him a very important piece of armour he knew would protect him, holding up the mithrel chainmail between them and looking at the hobbit through it as if he were seeing Bilbo through a veil.

Finding Elarië however was surprisingly harder, as if for a night the two haflings swapped roles and she were the slippery stealthy one. Elves were a bit light on their feet, much to the king's annoyance, so it would be no surprise if she got that from one half of her heritage as well.

Finally though, the dwarf king did find her, leaning on the edge of the wall in a corner away from the company and staring out at the night. The moonlight glow casting a beautiful light over the features of her face that thorin couldnt help admiring, he found himself pausing a staring for a moment as if for once his mind wasnt on the hoard of treasure under the mountain but on the treasure that was her...

Snapping himself out of it he made his way over, standing beside her taller frame and joining her in looking out at the view. "If you're thinking about leaving to join your people, then go." He grumbled.

"Even if I was they wouldnt except me if I did." Elarië argued, softer and almost a pout. But whether it was because of the rejection she believed shed get or because he told her to leave again, he couldnt tell.

"Why do you think that?" He asked, arms resting beside hers on top of the wall edge.

"I know. Plenty of them were hoping I'd choose man so they had an excuse to rid of me, my helping you instead gave them a new one. I'm a traitor, if I switched sides now id just be pathetic." She scoffed.

"And you dont want to return to them?"

"Why would I? Theres nothing for me there-"

"Good. I wouldnt have let you leave anyway." Thorin admitted.

"Oh? Then why did you tell me to?" Elarië smirked slightly.

"Because, I wasnt sure of something. I am now." He sighed, glancing at her hand.

"Sure of what? That even though several times I'd said I would stay and fight by your side, you only now believe me?" She teased.

Thorin gently took her hand in his, his other placing something in her palm and closing her fist before she could see it. "I had to be sure you felt the same."

The half-elf blinked in surprise before smiling softly and leaning down to place a kiss on the top of his head. "Silly dwarf. Of course I do."

"Good. Now you're really never leaving this mountain, so long as I live." He chuckled though meant it sincerely. Reaching up, he held her face softly before guiding her head to lower enough to press a kiss to her forehead.

"Foolish elf."
