Men: try to remind the elves and the dwarves that there are worse things on Tumblr, like orcs and nazguls! Are those kind of people who have entire blogs dedicated to events that happened eves ago. Biggest fandom around, even though their glory time was eves ago (see Harry Potter, the real king of Tumblr). Fuckyeahheirofisildur. WhyweloveRohan. Fuckyeahkingtheoden. This is not a riders of Rohan blog. 

Orcs and nazguls: whywelovesauron, tag their gore posts with absolutely everything cute and innocent, send hate messages to the blogs of men, hacked their blogs and turned them into their own. Tumblr famous Mouth of Sauron: shitsauronsays. Hundreds of photos of the Barad-dur tower from every angle. Sauroman shippers. 

Trolls: literally the worst. Ruin absolutely everything. 101 ways to avoid the sun blogs. 101 ways to cook dwarves. WTF IS A BURGLARHOBBIT tag, they`re too dumb to post something else.

Ents: They have blogs, but you`ve probably never heard of them.

Wizards: they have really cool and funny blogs, but they try to send a very important message: don`t follow Sauron. Radagast posts crazy stuff, but his followers love him. Has a blog dedicated to his rabbits. Gandalf: runs whywelovethehobbits, posts pictures of awesome fireworks, is really good friends with Galadriel and Elrond, and frequently submits to their blogs. The other two blue ones are pretty much Tumblr nobodies, unlike Saruman who is Tumblr famous. He has followers for the Sauron hate he posts, but he secretly sends him messages everyday. 

Recently my sister got him the biggest toy she could find in the doggy toy section, a toy owl about the size of my dog’s head.

He smelled it, took it delicately in his mouth, then just dropped it on the floor and has barely touched it since.

But I keep finding him with it near him while he is sleeping.

I haven’t put it there, and neither has my mum.

He never chews on it, like he is afraid to break it.

And it is always right near his head when he sleeps.

I really don’t understand how people throw such a tantrum about the new Hobbitcon banner just because Kíli and Tauriel are featured on it. First of all - stop it with your unnecessarily hateful comments. Even if you don’t like the characters you could still act like a grown-up and get over it. It’s not as if the two characters are snogging or doing anything romantic at all, they’re just fighting next to each other. And yes, they are fighting, in case you haven’t noticed Bolg, who’s by the way also in the picture.

Instead of creating such a drama you should be happy that soon we will get more information about the next con and if you are you serious about not wanting to attend such an event just because of one harmful picture, well, let me just say that I’m glad that I don’t have your issues. So many people work very hard to make the Hobbitcons possible and your behaviour and comments are just damn rude and are more suitable for a whiny 5-year old who doesn’t always get what she wants.

I went to every Hobbitcon so far and let me tell you that the last was definitely the worst when it comes to the general atmosphere. So many people attacked cosplayers for their costumes - I think everyone knows about the costume contest incident - or they got involved in conversations that were none of their business just because they heard something that goes against their headcanons and so on. The whole “we are one big family and we just want to have fun together and enjoy ourselves” feeling is almost gone by now and people like the ones who wrote all this nonsense in reaction to the new banner are the ones who are to blame for it. No one is looking for a fight - except you guys so stop it.

Only at HobbitCon:

Luke stating that after the photo ops he must now be a professional hugger and will end up with a sign for “free hugs” at the corner of some street

Mark Ferguson asking someone if that was really their sneezing noise because they sounded like a small dog

Mark’s absolutely hilarious face

Mark Ferguson’s mini panel in which he not only played minigolf, but also told a very interesting story including a slave girl and boy… and wood … and comig home limping… (and the most epic laughing attack I’ve ever seen anybody have)

William still being a khuzdul rockstar

William singing with us (I’m all for a musical panel with Mark, William and Luke next year where all questions must be answered in song!)

Luke wanting to own a house, with a goat, and a horse… “well actually that sounds more like a farm”

Sylvester repeatedly beating the stuffed hedgehog he brought because Sebastian was a stupid upstaging animal

Sylvester also refusing to walk down a certain aisle because he was afraid they’de feed him more chocolate

Stephen’s reprise as a unicorn 

John Bell’s taste in movies ranges from The Beauty and the Beast to The Shining

Dirk actually coming on stage to tell us there was going to be a fourth HobbitCon - and Mark telling us “YOU just made that happen”
