Wanna reblog on tumblr?

So... this is done for the amazing group I'm in DarkStarStudios challenge where we were supposed to vid one (or all) of the offered themes in 24 hours and I.... miserably failed. I was going to go with the Friday theme, but you know. Time management who, computer lagging, tiredness... So here I am, almost full 48 hours late. On the bright side, I changed a lot of things I originally did in the Friday draft and I Actually Like this video, as opposed to probably would have hated it by now if I did finish it on Friday. But I am still tagging this video as #viddingdangerously because... I liked the challenge and editing it?
Anyway, the theme is family & friendship.

Plot:
Basically, post Shire!AU and LotR fussion.

Thorin doesn't die in Botfa, instead coming back with Bilbo to the Shire. It's established Bagginshield. Over the years Bilbo takes in Frodo, who becomes Thorin's basically favourite nephew. It's fine, what King Fili and Crown Prince Kili don't know can't hurt them.

But the years go on, and you know how it goes. The Ring lengthening Bilbo's age, him becoming obssessive with it, all that.... When Gandalf suggests Bilbo leaves the Shire and Ring behind, Thorin cannot help but support this decision. And he initially planned going with Bilbo, but in the end couldn't just leave Frodo alone.

So he doesn't leave him. Nor when Frodo has to leave Shire and flee from Ring Wraithes, nor when he has to go to Mordor. The video ends with the end of FotR, but Thorin goes with Frodo Sam all the way to Mordor and back.

The Ring cannot touch him, because I headcanon that when he freed himself from the hold of dragonsickness, no malicious mind could have a hold on him anymore. It's like... Like having a shot against evil mind, if you will.

Also going through Khazad-Dum is very, very upsetting for him. He cannot help but think that this is where Azog, murderer of his grandfather and brother, lived. Lived in Durin halls, under dwarven glory. It's unfair that he, Thorin, only got to see empty ruins, ransaken by orcs. In his heart he knew Balin was dead long before they even made decision to go in there, but it still hurts to see his dear friend's tomb, and corpses of his friends.
And a big monster living in a dwarven kingdom? Colour my surprised if it reminds him heavily of Smaug. And finally, Azanulbizar. Last time he was in the Valley, it was covered in the bodies of his people.

Originally I was going to vid whole... Story, but I just couldn't. It'd have been too long, probably repetetive, and all that. But I am happy with the outcome, and I'm happy I spent extra time on this video.

Lastly, the reason why Bilbo looks old and Thorin doesn't? Footage, my friends.
