Hobbits

I've recently been re-reading the Silmarillion (and going very much into detail, or so I hope; also that's part of the reason I made a poll before for the two trees), and I just remembered to ask a question that I've probably had since the first time I ever read Silmarillion.

What is the origin of the hobbits? Obviously elves and men are the Children of Illuvatar, and dwarves are the creation of Aule, but what about hobbits? I've never found it anywhere, unless I missed something major...

Just finished watching the hobbit trilogy and oh my God it is so good. The end is amazing. I love the story of Bilbo that isn’t told in LOTR.

The hobbits made the trees in the Old Forest hostile. Here's how I know:

Tolkien wrote in one of his letters:

The 'attack' of the trees of the Old Forest was just natural

growth: the reason the Old Forest is queer and hostile while

the Lothlorien is beautiful is because the Old Forest was

chopped down and burned, while Lothlorien was loved.

Just a note. It would also explain why Fangorn feels the way it does: it was neglected, and avoided.

I would like to imagine that after the events of Lord of the Rings, a Hobbit that remembers the Ents will one day find the Entwives in the Shire, and inform Treebeard of such. I know Tolkien never meant that story to be completed, but I can imagine the Ents finding their way to the Shire and living for years with the Entwives, only to eventually go back to the forest they loved, and settling down forevermore, contented. It would be a happy end to such a sad tale, and one I think it needs.

Do hobbits go to the Halls of Mandos or have the same fate as humans (or something else)?

The Silmarillion is pretty direct in explaining the origins of four of the free peoples of Middle Earth (elves, men, dwarves, and ents) and even many of the other sentient creatures in Middle Earth like the eagles, orcs, wizards, valar, maiar, dragons, and balrogs.

But nowhere in Tolkien’s writing that I know of does it ever say the origins of hobbits which is odd considering they’re such a large roll in the The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Does anyone know anything about hobbit origins or have any theories. I feel like it was Tolkien’s artistic choice to leave it a mystery but I’m curious to what other people are thinking.

He knew that Bilbo was holding an Elven sword 🗡 but he couldn’t remember who he is? Do you think that the ring clouded his mind and he forgot certain things about himself?

Have you finished reading The Silmarillion? And who is your Middle-Earth favourite character? And what race are you in?

Sauron is a fool. Why? He gave clothes to Nazgul. If they were without clothes hobbits would not see them and ring was on Sauron's finger.

A little project that I just finished! The circle at the bottom is supposed to be a hobbit door not a green flower!😊
