Y’all, I thought there were eight hobbit meals, but I guess there are 7 or 9 depending on who you ask.
Also I contend that the “dessert” or late night snack should be called “2nd Elevensies.”

The reason they existed is both simple and ingenious on evolution’s part. #Evolution #hobbits #science #nature #biology #innovation
Happy birthdays to Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, and Michael Faraday, the greatest little hobbits of them all!

Hobbits
My wife and I met at a Christmas showing off Return of the King. As the "be quiet" thing played it was like being on a roller coaster, as we went over the top I screamed and exactly one person in the theater laughed. I found her and eventually married her. I painted this for her and she loves it!
I'm also trying to do something more stylized, less just doing exactly what the reference shows. Critiques are welcome!
I often think about how #Gandalf comforts #Pippin by talking about an afterlife in Valinor in the #ReturnOfTheKing movie; how Pippin responds with "that doesn't sound so bad"
... and how Gandalf doesn't then go "Oh, that's just for me.
Elves go roughly the same way, but then have to hang around a hall as a disembodied spirit.
Dwarves get reincarnated as their descendants; humans go who-knows-where.
#Hobbits? They just rot."
