Harpist!Thorin Lives In My Heart - Tumblr Posts
Behold! 'Tis I, the mysterious Bagginshield Cryptid, returned from the deep woods and here to visit you with another Bagginshield question. . . What is your favourite headcanon?
Choosing ONE favourite bagginshield headcanon is very difficult, but aside from the common ones, there is one of my own that I absolutely love.
I think that after Thorin reclaims Erebor and becomes King, and all the rebuilding and stuff like that is finished and everyone can live their lives normally, Thorin starts again to practice regularly the harp. He loves playing it, it's one of his favourite things to do when he isn't busy with meetings or paperwork. And Bilbo loves to listen to him playing. Harps are not common instruments in the Shire, so he's fascinated, but it's not just that. He loves how Thorin plays it. So he likes to listen to him practice and sometimes Thorin does tiny private exhibitions for him and eventually teaches Bilbo some music theory.
