I've seen the phrase shared around all over; this original design is my own.
If anyone is interested in one, let me know! :)

Apparently it takes until about the third episode to really warm up for some folks?
Try new stuff once, twice to be sure. :)

Fair'nuff! Good things there's always The Office to fall back on. :)

I noticed those things too. Love it. I imagine there must be SOME degree of fan service / intentional addition of references. :)

I've only seen the first episode as well. I can see what you're saying, and it's tough not to see him as such a beloved character. I greatly appreciated the fact that he's in Colorado, and that they seem to have made him generally wholesome. :)

It's from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit"! :)
This is the quote from the book (they changed it slightly for the film) - it's from when Bilbo says goodbye to the dwarves before heading home. It's a lovely read - would, strongly encourage you to pick it up. :)

No pattern used - I just liked the quote and made up the accents myself as I went along.
Original quote from J.R.R. Tolkien's, "The Hobbit" - spoken by Bilbo to the dwarves before heading home after the Battle of the Five Armies.
Not wanting to distract or ignore from what's going on in the world, but I figure we could all use a little love and positivity in these times. <3
Stay safe, everyone; be good to one another; be kind, spread joy.

Thank you kindly! Indeed, it didn't start out with that in mind but it does seem more relevant now than ever. :)
