for the love of Mahal, give the character™ a tummy

Thorin and Blibo are made for each other, because the only person other than Bilbo that would ever think to play for time with the Trolls is Thorin, and the only person who would’ve noticed that they didn’t need to break down Beorns door, just raise the latch, other than Thorin would be Bilbo.

Bilbo loves maps, but he finds Dwarven tactical maps incredibly difficult to read because they focus strictly on minerals, defensive walls, and underground water veins. To help him understand the mountain, Thorin takes a giant sheet of parchment and personally draws a simplified map of the royal quarters for Bilbo. However, Thorin fills it with deeply personal notes. Next to the library, he writes: "Where Master Baggins hides when he is cross with me." Next to the eastern balcony: "Best view of the sunrise, though the Hobbit is usually asleep." And next to the royal bedchamber, he simply carves the rune for "Home"

"Do you insert yourself as the top/bottom of your favorite ship?" No, I'm the cameraman

Khuzdul, the secret language of the Dwarves, is forbidden to be taught to outsiders, and its written form is fiercely guarded. Thorin, however, finds a loophole. He cannot teach Bilbo the spoken grammar of the language, but he teaches him the specific runic spellings of certain sacred concepts. One evening, Thorin takes a small silver dagger and carves three runes onto the inside of Bilbo’s personal writing desk. He tells Bilbo it is a protective ward. It is only months later, when Bilbo compares the shapes to an ancient historical text, that he realizes the runes don't spell a ward; they spelling out Thorin's secret, intimate inner-name for Bilbo, a title meant only for a Dwarf’s true lifemate
